As soon as we arrived at the hotel we knew that we had made a good choice . the welcoming reception staff greeted us with cool mint face towels and a cold rum punch and after check in gave us a tour of the facilities which were very clean lovely and well laid out . the swimming pool looked inviting and was clearly well looked after . the bar was well stocked and the bar staff were friendly and efficient. the food was plentiful and delicious with a wide variety of choices presented beautifully . Our rooms was ok very clean and comfortable with a nice view but looked a bit dated and showed signs of wear and tear but not too much to complain about, however our teenager childrens room was end of block on the ground floor so was quite dark with little natural light to be fair though being young they were not in the room very much ! nightly entertainment was again ok but could have been on a bit longer and have been a bit more varied but it suited our needs . the position of this hotel is perfect ,right in the town and walk straight on to the lovely sandy beach with lots of beach beds generally available if i have one complaint its the amount of beach vendors who hassle you (in a polite but annoying way) pretty much all the time you are on the beach the answer here we learnt is that unless you are interested in their wares do not engage in conversation and just say no thanks and look away as you will otherwise get a life story ( interesting as it sometimes is) and end up buying an overpriced product just to get rid of them! cant blame the hotel though as the beaches are public and they have no say ! watersports were good and as offered in the brochure . all in all a lovely smallish intimate hotel with good facilities and a good team of friendly dedicated staff who made us welcome and looked after us fantastically you almost feel as though you have made friends during your stay and are sorry to leave. i would definitely without a second thought recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of going to Barbados .

Our first holiday to Mango Bay and soon discovered Barbados is a party place that never sleeps.. We were kept awake until 4am Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Never been to such a noisy resort which made such an impact on our day feeling tired.. A warning to people don't book a standard double room as it face the streets full of bars with Karaoke and restaurants. After feeling desperate we went see the manager Maxine who listened to our concerns and was kind and professional and moved us from room 404 to an apartment away from the exceeding loud music so then our holiday could begin. Most staff were great and very friendly giving an excellent service.. The a la carte food was excellent and delicious but the buffet style wasnt so good often luke warm especially breakfast. My fiance and I often had the delicious omelettes. This was different all inclusive resort than I had experience before as you were unable to get ice cream etc at any time only meal times On arrival we were given 3 small packets of biscuits to last 2 people for a 10 night stay these should have been replaced regularly as with tea bags as these were restricted. The swimming pool was a disappointed and not used by many people. Had a volley ball net across the pool always it at all time which obstructed a swim. The beach and sea were glorious but our relaxing time on the beach was constantly interrupted persistent traders and the motor sports. The bar waiters were excellent and the cocktails went down a treat. Even cold flannel were brought to us on the beach a very nice touch. Read less

Mango bay is an excellent hotel and we had a fantastic holiday. Rooms need a little TLC but everything else more than makes up for that. The staff are a complete credit to the hotel and can not do enough for you (all of them!). The fact that water sports are included is also a huge plus for anyone that loves water sports.

Mango bay is an excellent hotel and we had a fantastic holiday. Rooms need a little TLC but everything else more than makes up for that. The staff are a complete credit to the hotel and can not do enough for you (all of them!). The fact that water sports are included is also a huge plus for anyone that loves water sports. The free glass bottom boat and catamaran trip were brilliant. Food switched between buffet and served meals and was an excellent variation every day. The fact that the hotel is a small hotel meant that guests were very friendly towards each other and again this made for a fantastic holiday in the evenings. Entertainment was generally very good, maybe a couple of acts not to our liking but you cant please everybody and we really enjoyed the evening entertainment. The hotel is extremely well placed, we used the local buses all the time and went on one of the Virgin trips (coast to coast) even though we had not travelled with Virgin, which was very good. Lots of shopping, restaurants and bars nearby. The one love street party not to be missed on a sunday evening. The cliff on a sunday afternoon (taken by some friends) was also an excellent afternoon. All in all great holiday and lovely hotel. I will be back. Read less

This was our second year running at Mango bay. On arrival it was just that same familiar home from home feeling after the long flight to get there!. So first the good bits... We decided to go back because we loved the location and the beautiful stretch of beach which really cannot be beaten. You cannot always walk along the coastline in other hotels so there is alot to be said for that!. We took full advantage of the free boat trip and got taken to some lovely clear water just next to Nikki beach where we were able to swim next to four turtles, it really was an amazing experience. The hotel feels very safe and very friendly, you really are made to feel at home. There are free water sports if that's your thing or you can just swim in the sea and if you wear a snorkel you can see lots of amazing fish not very far out at all. The water is clear and calm. I don't know what people are saying about a drip in the water and hard to climb out, that is nonsance. Best sunsets ever every evening at around 6pm. On a few occasions we walked along to the exclusive colony club hotel and bought a drink there and watched the sunset which they let you do. Now for some possible improvements... The wine is horrible. There is no sauv it's just Chardonnay and it's hard to drink if I'm honest and we love our wine so this did ruin it about for me. Also you can't get the well known cocktails that you would expect (and which we could get at the colony club along the road) which is a shame and could be easily changed. Food if I'm honest was probably better last year. And thirdly we got put in a room this year which was next to a very loud bar and music would play through the night,where as last year we got an upgrade to a better positioned room.We had a little more rain and clouds this year but then nobody can help the weather. On the whole Mango bay is definately a little gem but it's more for its location and familiar charm than anything else. If you are wanting glitz & glamour etc then sty at the colony club but you will pay the high price tag for it! Read less

the second time I have stayed at Mango Bay and we had a fantastic time. The staff are amazing, the food was the best I have had on an all inclusive and mainly al a carte which is perfect for our party, only a few buffets which I am not a fan of but that is just a personal thing on my behalf. Stunning beach and a great location.
