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.

We’ve just returned from a 12 night stay and it was idyllic. A beautiful hotel set in lovely gardens in a remarkable beachside spot creating spectacular views from morning to sunset. The bar, restaurant and entertainment area have the beach view so it’s a very relaxing environment. Our room was wonderful: a deluxe, ground floor, pool view, through the patio doors to an additional large open fronted covered area, with loungers and privacy voile curtains (if required) and then down a couple of steps to another area with some more loungers for the room which were poolside. This meant that there were lots of options dependent on mood or weather. The room was bright and spacious with a very generous sized bathroom, relaxing décor and housekeeping were fantastic. Slept very well. Staff – Extremely high levels of customer service consistent across the full range of staff. Professional, positive, approachable and friendly – everyone is going the extra mile to make your holiday special. I was left smiling after ever interaction. Thank you also for helping us celebrate our wedding anniversary in such a lovely way and the warm congratulations from different members of staff. The staff really are exceptional. Gym – air conditioned with free weights, cardio equipment, multi gym, mats etc for a good workout. I would go each morning, then do my stretches on the deck area which was beachside to enjoy the view. Restaurant – Lots of choice and the staff add to the atmosphere and will try and accommodate “off menu” requests (I couldn’t resist my daily fish cakes with hot pepper sauce). The Sunday afternoon pianist was a lovely surprise. Entertainment – the Saxophonist, steel drummer, I’m not completely sure of the vocalists names: Leah, mother and daughter duo - Shakira and Selena and another male duo brought Caribbean vibes so you could end your day laughing and dancing. Most were happy to take requests. Shops and restaurants – few minutes walk. If you like an early morning stroll when it is cooler to take in the views, walk towards the right of the beach and after about 7 minutes you will get to a coastal path .… gorgeous outlook. I would highly recommend the hotel and can understand why so many people return…… beautiful place….. This was our first visit but we will be back.... hopefully for longer next time. Read less

Location ideal, 20 mins from Bridgetown. Advise take the reggae bus for an experience. Not a big hotel and AI. Entertainment in evening they bring in local people. We had a sea view which was lovely and room was very spacious for two of us. Do some exertions. We did Oistins on a Friday night amazing atmosphere. We also did an island tour called What a Life with Tropical Concierge Solutions. Tour of island in bus for 3 hours stopping at various coast lines and then to Carlyle Beach to relax and get to swim with turtles. Overall, I would recommend this hotel, for the above. Read less

My third time to Barbados, but my kids third so wanted to choose the right hotel for them to get maximum enjoyment and MB didn't disappoint. We stayed for 10 days and from minute one, we felt at home. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, so friendly and helpful, especially Faith and Donell, who got on brilliantly with my boys. Rooms were generous, bathroom was a nice size and all clean. Only one restaurant but don't let that put you off, the food was very nice, with multiple choice available every day. A lovely small hotel, so doesn't feel overcrowded and even though there is a new hotel being built next door, this doesn't really affect the ambience during the day (although they do start work early!). Free watersports is a plus, and the beach and sea is excellent, as you would expect from the west coast. I will be visiting again. Read less
