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.

What can I say? Our 4th stay at Mango Bay and had the most amazing holiday. As other reviewers have said, the staff really make this hotel the special place it is - from the reception staff to the restaurant, housekeeping and bar staff they are all A* & go out of their way to make your stay a memorable one for the right reasons. The watersports on offer are great - with my husband trying everything on offer including waterskiing without extra charge! We had a 3rd floor deluxe room which had a great size balcony. The bathroom is outdated but functional. We had to chase for missing towels on a couple of occasions, but housekeeping were always easy to locate. We found the food excellent quality, portion size just right and if the menu not to your liking there are bar snacks available most of the day! Even the choice of wine on offer with dinner was good. If there were no sunbeds available, one of the watersports team would bring one down to the beach for you so no worries there either! Keep up the great work, and I'm sure we will be back! The location on the West Coast of Barbados is simply beautiful. Cannot be beaten!!! Read less

This was mine and my Husband’s first time at Mango Bay. On arrival was an absolute wow, the place is beautiful! We were given a welcome drink by Julian and he showed us to our room. As I am disabled and cannot do stairs, we had requested a ground floor room when we booked which could not have been more perfect. It was lovely and clean and in a perfect location in the Hotel. All the Staff were so lovely and friendly and we felt so welcome throughout our 14 nights stay. Special thanks to Rayden and Damien for their excellent entertainment whilst bringing our drinks to us whilst relaxing by the pool. The food was fantastic. So much to choose from at breakfast, lovely lunches and a l carte evening meals all beautifully presented. Staff were very accommodating if you wanted a slight change of your food. The beach and sea was a perfect location and thanks to the water sports guys who were so helpful. In all Mango Bay was paradise and so beautiful. We will be returning again in August 2025! Read less

There is shopping nearby both high end and local shops and we went out and about utilising the local transport which was excellent and great fun. The staff however at mango bag make this place really special. They cannot do enough for you and the service and friendliness really does make your holiday. Damien went above and beyond to look after us but everyone was lovely and kind and always had a smile and couldn’t do enough for you. We would absolutely return. Read less

Visited here after everyone saying it was one of the best hotels. 3 star at most. Bar staff and restaurant staff are good but food is terrible for an all inclusive. Al a carte pretty much each night but not great when it's two choices and they not great. Hey ho. My biggest challenge was how they treated my partner. We were in the sea watching sunset and all of a sudden he took ill saying he had cut his foot. Got him out of sea and he was practically hyperventilating. There was a manager at the side who was approached to ask for help who then said "wait a minute I'm taking pics of these girls " my partner at this point was writhing about in pain. I had to ask him again for help. In a minute he says. I ran to reception asking for help as my partner was screaming in pain. I came back to watch the manager stick a plaster on his foot then head back to taking pics of the girls on beach. I knew there was something gravely wrong but no point asking for help a third time. Got a taxi and took him to hospital to find out he had stood on a deadly stone fish and was in fact being poisoned from it. Rounds of injections and morphine we finally left hospital hours later. I got back to hotel and the manager from earlier was laughing saying how is his cut. Omg. We were late for dinner as we had been hours at hospital so I said is there any food as my partner is starving. He said we will send food up to your room. Nothing came. No help. No support. Nothing. He could have died and no one cared. Read less
