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.

Celebrating a belated honeymoon. Emailed prior to arrival to let them know this and on arrival room was ready right away. Rum punch given on arrival which went down so well. The superior room we booked had a Bottle of champagne and rose petals and the towel animal balloons waiting for us and was overlooking the beach. Assume you could hear the entertainment at night time from The room but we stayed out to listen to the performers after dinner until their sets were over so it didn't affect us or our sleeping. Our first nights meal was amazing we got seated at our table and the menu was personalised for us celebrating our honeymoon. Staff were very attentive and we developed a good rapport with some of them. Dianna in the restaurant was amazing her and the wife had a daily banter and she made she drinks were always there for us. Damien was amazing too we would have daily conversations and he would make me interesting drinks and tell funny stories, Joseph, Kyle and others whose names I can't remember looked after us. The lady who ran the spa I think sherrie was very kind too she gave us recommendations for things to do and even checked to see we made it back home safely. We ended enjoying our conversations with the guests and staff. I enjoyed talking to Hedley the night security. On our last day the staff gave us hugs, this is the first holiday I've ever been on where you feel like you're leaving your friends. Staff are so attentive, ignore people worrying about the noise from the hotel being built. On odd occasion I would hear it while relaxing on the beach or in the water but it didn't effect us at all. Do take mosquito repellents though. Can't wait to come back again. Can see why they get a lot of repeat business. If you want perfection and a modern feel then don't book here but if you want a nice charm and homely feel then do it. The rooms aren't perfect as people have mentioned they are slightly dated but we didn't spend much time in the room to even bother us. Every day we're on the beach or at the bar/restaurant talking to people or having drinks. Read less

Just returned from a wonderful 8 nights at Mango Bay. Couldn't recommend this hotel highly enough. Authentic Bajan charm. Staff were all amazing. Room was fabulous (we did upgrade to superior pool / garden room). Snorkeling was exceptional. We never go back to same place twice but we may well do here.

We have recently returned from a 9 day stay at Mango Bay hotel and we absolutely loved it from start to finish. The Hotel is located on a great location in Holetown within easy reach of bars, restaurants, supermarkets and shops. The pool area is great and you can always get a sunbed, the beach is amazing and you can get a sunbed but some guests put their towels down early which makes others follow so you don’t miss out on the good spots on the beach. The restaurant is great we found the food to be of a good standard and there was plenty of choice, also the menu changes from a la carte to buffet and they also have a grill on most days along with snacks etc. we stayed in condo 5 which was amazing for me, my wife and daughter, the condo had 2 big rooms along with a beautiful outdoor space with a table and 4 chairs, we also had loads of storage and a decent size bathroom. The staff at Mango Bay are amazing and I mean all staff, they all work extremely hard from the amazing front of house staff, restaurant staff, housekeeping and the bar staff are also amazing, the Bajan people are so friendly and make you feel extremely welcome. I want to give a special mention to Dale and Naomi who really went the extra mile to accommodate us on our special day and for providing me and my family with a special gazebo meal which was amazing, me and wife booked Mango Bay to renew our wedding vows after 10 years and our chosen gazebo location unfortunately had to have a few running repairs and was not available on the day but Dale and Naomi sorted the other other gazebo and they made our special day extra special, thank you 🙏. We also did the complimentary caterman which again was great, it stopped at the beach right in front of the Loan Star Restaurant Which had crystal clear waters and fine white sand, we also ate at the Loan star on the night of our wedding vows and it was fantastic, anyway back to Mango Bay Hotel, I can’t fault it at all, yes there is a hotel been built close by but you hardly notice the noise but it’s outside of Mango Bays control. I can’t name all to staff but I want to give a massive shout out to both Rayden and Damien who are constantly working extremely hard to serve drinks both at the bar and taking drinks orders by the pool and and beach, we had a lot of interaction with both and they are first class lads and who make you laugh and smile everyday, Damien you are crazy in the best possible way 😂 and Rayden you are a gentleman. I wouldn’t hesitate in going back to Mango Bay, thank you again to all the staff 😀 Read less

Just back after a week at Mango Bay and would probably rate a 3.5 but that option not available . Great location , spotless rooms and lovely staff in the dining/drinks area . Let down by the food , entertainment and shocking customer service from the water sports team which is a shame as most people spend the majority of their holiday on the beach.

Beautiful location & amazing staff! We had an amazing 14 nights here, hotel very clean & tidy. We stayed in one of the ocean view rooms, loads of space, storage and lovely comfy bed, decor and bathroom a little tired, but didn’t ruin our stay one bit. We had read reviews before coming regarding food quality and the building works, but absolutely no worries at all. Firstly the food, we never had the same meal twice, all the food was lovely! We took the opportunity to eat from the a la cart menus, and not only was the food delicious it was perfect portion sizes. The days that the meals were buffet style, again the food was delicious and there was plenty of choice. If you’re looking for massive buffet style then this is not the place for you. Secondly the building works, whilst we were here they completed 1 floor and were forming the second floor (think it was around 4 floors when we left) to be honest we didn’t really notice too much noise and not enough to ruin our holiday (not as noisy as the whistling frogs 😂) you tended to hear more when removing scaffolding or pouring the concrete. We had some brilliant trips out, can’t recommend Daren enough! He collected us from the airport and then was kind enough to take us out for the day exploring this beautiful island. Tre took us to St Nicholas Abbey and gave us a mini tour of the way too. And finally, what can I say about ‘Mark the Shark’ absolutely amazing, our swimming with turtles was a massive tick off our bucket list! Can’t thank him enough. Lastly, we found ALL of the staff to be friendly, helpful and blooming lovely, a special shout out to Isabelle who goes out of her way to check in with you, Ronald (guest services), Damien, Rayden, Anderson, Faith, Cl-Ann, Maxine, Annetta P & Donnell. Without you all our holiday wouldn’t have been the same 🩵🩷 Read less
