The hotel

Mango Bay is in a great location on a beautiful beach on the west coast. We love it because it's a small, friendly hotel that exudes bajan charm. From outside dining under the stars to traditional English afternoon tea, this hotel is ideal if you are looking for a relaxing getaway. The restaurants, bars and boutiques of fashionable Holetown St. James, along with the Limegrove Lifestyle complex, are just footsteps away - and the complimentary catamaran cruise allows you to explore even more that the island has to offer.

I was a little sceptical staying here based on some reviews and tbh unfortunately I was right to be. We arrived after 5pm and our room wasn’t ready , we were then told the aircon was broken. We asked for 2 fans but told they only had one. To cut a long story short the aircon took 2 days to fix with us constantly reminding and asking about it.… Read more
I was a little sceptical staying here based on some reviews and tbh unfortunately I was right to be. We arrived after 5pm and our room wasn’t ready , we were then told the aircon was broken. We asked for 2 fans but told they only had one. To cut a long story short the aircon took 2 days to fix with us constantly reminding and asking about it. The pool area is tired and needs a deep clean. The rain did not help washing soil around the pool side and out of the hotels control . The food was terrible, my husband will eat anything but he struggled. The pre ordering and booking meal times is not conducive to a relaxing holiday as you have to plan each meal. The vegetarian options were very limited and usually spicy. The staff in the restaurant were very slow we wondered at times if Kevin was actually getting paid to talk and not work! The positives were the location right on a beautiful beach, the free water sports and the cocktails were amazing. We stayed in one of the condos next to the hotel and it was great for a family. I think if the hotel had a refurb around the pool area, improved the food and changed to a regular A/I instead of booking and ordering this would improve things greatly. Read less

Day pass here from the sands hotel. Food is from a lovely beachfront restaurant. Drinks have good quality options. Pool is in a cool area between buildings if you don’t want raging sun all day on the seafront. The beach is incredible with house reef and added bonus of rays and tarpon that come to the shoreline.

Stayed mango bay 11 nights lovely hotel beach was lovely but downside there was a bit of drop into sea like a ledge found it hard to get out also there was jet ski most days which was bit annoying. I did feel it is aimed at older people over 55 and upwards and is quiet if you want busy lively this is not a ideal hotel for you. Room was lovely room 105 direct access into pool if you wanted it which was ideal. As there was only one restaurant meal times were set but it was ok. Some nice shops nearby and it was safe to walk out the people were friendly. We did some lovely trips and enjoyed steam train St Nicholas Abbey trip. Also did a lovely catamran cruise and tour. The island was lovely and we will return some day. Read less
