  Beautiful location & amazing staff

  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 🩵🩷

  Please take me back!

  Second time here and it did not disappoint. Rooms are a little dated but clean and lovely big comfortable bed. The staff are absolutely lovely! The only reason I can think of if people complain about them is that they don't treat them with the respect they deserve and they obviously react accordingly. The food was gorgeous! A la carte most nights or buffet, same for lunch. Again can't think why people complain unless they are after piling their plates high with everything they can only to waste it. It's not that sort of dining. The beach is beautiful, very clear, shallow water with plenty of sun beds and lovely walks both ways. Rayden and Damien are always on hand to bring drinks from the bar. We didn't use the pool but it looked ok. We hired a car for a couple of days to get around the island which was lovely. Can't wait to return!

  Fantastic hotel!

  We have just arrived back from 10 days at Mango Bay, it was perfect! Couldn’t fault the service and friendliness of the staff, the delicious food (great variety buffet breakfast), lunches (plus beach BBQ 2-3 times a week and snack menu including pizzas and other bits to order off) and dinners (mix of buffets and sit down meals), lots of fresh local cuisine. Mango Bay is located perfectly for exploring the island, with a yellow bus stop right outside (you could hop on one of these to Speightstown or Bridgtown or Oistins, €3.50 BDS a trip and can be lively!). Our room was spotless and cleaned every day, we were in room 2 which is the separate building around the back of the restaurant. Lots of lovely toiletries and robes included too. We recommend using all the inclusive water sports like water skiing (we didn’t) and kayaking (excellent!) and we also paid for the Oistins Fish Fry excursion which was worth it for the guaranteed travel and stop at a nearby bar en route back. The rum tour trip was a little deceiving as we thought we were visiting the actual distillery and not the visitor centre (still had fun, but do check!) My (now) fiancé proposed on our 2nd night and wow the hotel were so lovely, they decorated our table with a personalised menu and left a bottle in our room. Felt truly spoilt! Thank you so much for a fabulous stay - we will definitely be back!!❤️

  Fun In The Sun!☀️

  Great experience at Mango Bay hotel in a perfect location of Holetown! Everything from the great staff, service and resort itself was excellent. We had an ocean view room which was a great choice, everything was at high standard and things were very clean with housekeeping staff taking great care of everything. The buffet breakfast was perfect, food was fresh and a lot of selection. Dinner was also very good, nice selection on the menu and everything we had was delicious. We ate lunch off the resort a few days just because we’d by out exploring the area, there are a few beach bars if you get out walking the beach. Also a lot of eateries directly across the street from the hotel in the Limegrove Mall, which is a very nice trendy area to spend some time. The evening entertainment at the hotel was very good, talented singers all around. With the location of Mango Bay it’s just a few steps outside the resort to many bars if you want to venture out at night as well, Sunday night karaoke street party was fun! I would have to say this is a perfect area to stay in to experience Barbados, we will return to Mango Bay Holetown!

  Great Hotel - Shame about the Buzzkills

  Let’s start by saying this: Mango Bay was phenomenal. Stunning setting, friendly staff, unlimited drinks — basically paradise. But apparently, some guests came looking for a monastery, not a Caribbean resort. Yes, we were that wedding party. The ones having fun. Laughing. Celebrating love. Using the drinks cooler (which, shock horror, is… public), playing music (because silence is for the grave), and yes — drinking beer. All of it. If that offends you, might we suggest booking a library next time? As for “commandeering” the bar… it’s not exactly a military coup. It’s a bar. With drinks. For everyone. If your holiday was ruined by people enjoying themselves too loudly, maybe the issue isn’t with the resort — maybe it’s with your tolerance for joy. Big love to Isak, who handled things like a pro despite having to listen to complaints that sounded like they were written by a Victorian ghost. And to the couple who transferred hotels: you’re welcome — we made your vacation even more memorable. To sum up: Mango Bay is brilliant. But if your idea of excitement is a quiet game of Scrabble and sighing disapprovingly at anyone under 60 decibels, maybe pack some earplugs — or better yet, stay home. Cheers to sun, rum, and not giving a damn, — The Wedding Party Legends
