Mango Bay

Barbados, Caribbean

Star rating

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.

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.

Impeccable staff, who are welcoming warm and ooze a love for hospitality and their customers. Too many to name as they’re all fantastic!!! The hotel is on the older side, but unlike the negative comments below, let’s call it traditional, loved and lived in! It’s also immaculately clean and cool. The location is truly fabulous, walking distance to bars, restaurants ( from beach shacks to 5 star cuisine) The beautiful beach is kept well, with comfortable sun loungers - all with parasols and the buoys keep you safe in the water if you just want to swim. The drinks are all labelled top shelf brands, the cocktails are not drowned in sugar syrup, and are mixed whilst you wait. The food is great - à la carte dining (so make sure you pack collared tops for men, as this is the rule in low season. High season, is long short/trousers) We left leaving a bit of our hearts behind…ignore the critics, just go, you’ll love it ❤️ Read less
