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.

The major problem of this hotel is the rudeness of the staff. We were told rude things, ignored, cut off from talking, had eyes rolled at us, etc. Nobody offers to help around this place. Most of the workers should not be in the service industry!! Food selection and taste was absolutely horrible. One night we did not eat anything offered on the menu and waitress had a major attitude problem because we asked if we could see the kids menu or eat something else. The hotel is also very rundown. The outside and inside of the rooms need major work. The air condition leaked all over the floor and we had to put towels down. BUT we only could get two towels a day because they do not have enough towel to accommodate guests. We asked for more and were told they were “drying”. The beach is pretty, but you have to wake up early to reserve chairs. They also do not have enough chairs to accommodate their guest. Was told at 9 o’clock in the morning that we came too late to the beach and could sit by the pool. Also at the beach, they had people selling things which is normal for an island, but these sellers would were incredibly rude when we said we did not want to buy anything. One guy said we were a waste of his time. For water, you do not get the luxury of a plastic bottle or reusable bottle. You have to bring a small open plastic cup to the beach. On the last day the water fountain stopped working. The entertainment that is offered starts late at night and you hear singing while you are trying to sleep. Not sure why this isn’t provided earlier in the day while people are awake or at dinner. I would suggest staying at the new hotel next-door. This was a vacation that made you want to leave and go back home. Read less

Lovely hotel, but sadly the food has gone down majorly. Too many poor standard buffets. Also, by bringing in guests from Island Inn and The Sands because of the problems at both of these hotels!!, impacted our stay with not enough food for lunch on many occasions. We were due to return in September but have now transferred our booking to another hotel on the West Coast. Such a shame because this hotel used to be wonderful but by reducing the quality of the food will reduce the returning guests eventually. Read less

This is a nice hotel. The service from the management and restaurant and chefs is very much four star maybe more. The housekeeping and standard rooms are 3 star at most. The location and size of the hotel are lovely. Couldn’t fault it. The beach is amazing and the hotel is such a lovely size. Nothing was too much trouble for the management team. Evey question answered and they could not have been better. The standard rooms are the cheapest and are huge with great AC but they are tired and the bathrooms are very run down. The housekeeping was also hit and miss with many days missing towels and floor not cleaned of sand. But they have over rooms. So they are much better The restaurant is lovely. Both inside and outside seating the it’s all served at a lovely pace. The servers are sweet and funny but not silver service. They will accommodate your requests which is nice and the food was very very high standard. Three choices a day for lunch and dinner. The bar staff work hard. Some are a little less chirpy than others but they will make any drink you ask. The water sports team don’t stop working. From putting out subbed when the hoggers have taken the. All to teaching you to water ski for free. Really nice guys. A lovely touch is the afternoon tea served each day. They did run out of a few things like pizza and some ice creams and of course towels!! But not then end of the world. We had. Birthday when we was there and what they did was magical. They printed little menus for our table that were personalised. Gace us a lovely bottle of champagne and even supplied an amazing birthday cake. They decorated the bedroom too. Really made us smile. So yea I would go back but I would stay in a standard room. Thanks for a lovely week Read less

Mango Bay is a lovely small resort. All of the staff were friendly and accommodating. Pool and beach area is beautiful. One night à la carte service was delayed but staff appropriately apologetic and did everything they could to accommodate guests.
