  Mango Bay Barbados needs a refurb is very Tired.

  The location is excellent, food was very good but the hotel and facilities are very tired as are the sun beds and cushions, we stayed in sea view rooms which were very tired room 212 and 213, the bath was yellow and the enamel was missing from large areas of the bath, we should of rejected the room from day one but we thought could get over not having a bath, it only got worse from this day, after a couple of days we returned to the room and it smelt damp and fusty, we then noticed the bed sheets were damp and there was a serious problem with condensation in the room , the glass tops had water on them and the walls were also wet along with the tiled floor, we then noticed there was a build up of mold around the ceiling arca trave and on the ceiling which had previously been painted over. we reported this and the manager came to the room and said you have to leave your air con all the time which i explained is not good to have air con on permanently , they changed the bed clothes and got house keeping to mop up the condensation and put the air con on full, i showed her the bath and the condition of the seal around it and the missing enamel and asked if she thought was acceptable? she said would deal with it. The hotel food as very good but 75% of the staff were miserable and at times very rude, i have been to Barbados 6 times and this is by far the worst experience i have had of the Caribbean, my advise if you want to go to this resort is avoid sea view rooms 212 and 213 as when asked the cleaning staff they said these rooms always smelt of damp so they are fully aware of the situation. At no Point did we get an apology for the condition of our rooms.

  Return visitors

  We are regular visitors to this hotel and we can always say that our stay has been wonderful, I personally emailed them about my dietary requirements and they were very accommodating with it, also since we last visited the hotel there has been alot of updates on the rooms, the bar area and they've even changed the sunloungers ,they've even changed the way the tables are dressed for eating at each meal which is lovely to see, it was really nice to see old friends and and make some new ones ( staff) , my husband has always been a bit of a fussy eater and he tried almost everything on the menu at julians restaurant so thank you for that, it was nice to go back after such a long time and we hope to be back there again in the near future, we feel like mango bay is our second home even if we don't get there very often because the staff have always made us feel really welcome.

  Loved it here. Be back next year.

  2 families here together (4 adults, 2 kids). Loved it. Lots of other similar families with kids, all playing together in the pool and so close to the beach. Loved the drinks in the bucket next to the beach to help yourself and the free water sports and boat. Buffet / Al la carte alternates between lunch and dinner each day with big effort to make sure the food isn’t repeated. Memorable staff such as Annette and Maria who were always cheery and happy and Rayden who brings drink round while your sun bathing. Music / entertainment every night. Great games room for the kids and all the people there were absolutely lovey. Great with kids. Can go off to different places easy or do nothing at all. No Prosecco included apart from a Friday or Saturday night at sunset. If I could make any recommendations I would say staff can some times roll their eyes when you ask for a complicated drink/ or won’t switch the blender on until 10am for a milkshake even though it’s only 4 minutes until the start time. Ice cream is frozen solid and needs to soften for 20 mins before the can serve it. Also BBQ is very slow, probably needs more staff. Despite a few niggles and maybe a few updates needed, we absolutely loved it and will be back next year without a doubt.

  A lovely, relaxing place to stay

  Just returned from a 9 night stay at Mango Bay and would like to express my thanks to all the staff for their outstanding, friendly service. In particular Karon, Grafton, Maria, Ally, Xavier, Sabrina, Annette and Donelle in the restaurant, Isabelle the yoga teacher and the wacky dancing barman with odd socks (Damian?). Jacky the cleaner kept our room spotless every day. The service is a real highlight of the hotel . The food was very good , varied and well peesented. The beautiful beach front setting has the most comfortable sunbeds and the ever changing blue hues of the bay are mesmerising. We also thoroughly enjoyed the free glass bottom boat trip with as much complimentary rum punch as you could drink- a great way to start the weekend! The nightly evening entertainment was first class,especially Nicole Best and Eon. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a small, very friendly, beach front hotel in Barbados.
