Mango Bay All Inclusive

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.

Exceeded expectation! Absolutely stunning place to stay! Location was perfect! Staff were so lovely and helpful ☺️ the room was so clean and luxurious, felt so homely. The food…what can I say…:just WOW! Thank you Mango Bay so much for having us, see you again next year!

Disappointing experience was expecting 4 + star plus but definitely no more than 3 star . Resort tired and disorganised . Bar area very small with inadequate seating for guests , bar service inconsistent with more staff during the day and less at night when more busy. Premium drinks are available but only a small selection, no fizz . Guests are expected to sit outside with the nightmare mosquito situation on hard seats with no cushions and no bar service. If there has been a down pour tables and chairs are left wet. Tables are left cluttered with glasses and bottles and are rarely cleaned away . Night time entertainment was particularly good , but enjoyment was offset by uncomfortable seating and with sun beds and mattresses stacked to the side in direct eye line. Rooms are spacious and clean but look tired with marked furniture . Food is overall quite poor and definitely not the standard you would expect from a 4 + star rating. Mostly served at the table with occasional buffet. A repeated menu with a lot of chicken , there are snack options, but a lack of communication as to where and when you can access snacks. Limited choice on buffet with bare essentials for salads, meats and bread options . Food is obviously served with a tight budget in mind. Tinned ham is served as a meat option! Plates and bowls are in short supply leaving guests waiting, only to find the waiter has brought only two to replenish the pile! Milk was often placed in cartons instead of jugs at breakfast and display cabinets for bagels and a cereal dispenser was broken with no turning handle. Serving staff although pleasant, lacked direction by senior staff and stand around doing nothing while guests are left wanting. We had a power cut whilst waiting for lunch and although this could not be foreseen , staff were unprepared with no plan B . We were left waiting for over 2 hours whilst staff didn’t know what to do, not even offering a sandwich for lunch . Beach service was ok with a flag system , plenty of sun beds available and beach towels . However , sun bed mattresses were left stacked up outside in the rain. Beach attendants would not allow you to take them when wet, but how were they supposed to dry in a pile in the shade….madness. I will not be visiting this resort again, I feel there was no attention to detail and no real consideration to the aesthetics of the resort or the comfort of the guests , so much more could have been done to improve this with more insight.

A wonderful hotel on the beach with a great pool And the most amazing staff and food! We are going back next year because we had such a wonderful time

Booked for a Pool View Room, was offered a Room facing a wall and trees (see first picture), had to complain, call hotels.com, and wait for 2h to get a proper Pool View Room (second picture) Same issue next day at the restaurant, was proposed a terrible table by the road, furthest possible from the beach, asked for a beach table as there were 3 available, had to insist 3 times as the staff were complaining these tables were not ready, in the end took them 2mins to get them ready…

Only giving this 3 Stars as not only is there building work next door almost non-stop with machines, diggers, concrete mixers, drills, jack hammers, grinders and a crane operating between 0600 and 1900 but Mango Bay itself was undertaking modifications to many rooms to add to the noise and dust. 12th time to Barbados but first time here, great location with plenty of places to walk too. Food, got to be honest was very average and evening meals were not great. The choice was limited and most of the time served warm, there is only one restaurant but loads of great restaurants in walking distance. Rooms nice and comfy but a bit dated, probably the reason so many of them were being renovated and we had no hot water for 3 days but did get another room to shower in a bit like walking to a shower block on a camp site as it was two floors down and had to take our toiletries with us. Beach and snorkelling amazing, with good walking routes both left and right out of the hotel. Staff, 99% amazing but always get those couple who let the side down. Bar had good service but only 2 different rums, really !! and did shut down a little early !! Can't comment on the pool as never went in it. Gym small and compact but had running machines so I was happy. Probably would go back but not sure what impact the great big hotel next door will do to the place when it's open re noise and amount of people on the beautiful quiet beach, it will be interesting to see what people write on here once it is open.

I'm a disabled veteran that enjoys a drama free environment. This is my second time staying at Mango Bay and the staff is unbelievable! They are friendly, polite, and pay attention to detail! I will always recommend this location to friends and family.

The staff was welcoming and very friendly and attentive. We had a great week and lots of relaxing. Variety of options for activities and not having to think about your food or drinks was a good option for us. Would definitely recommend them!

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.

This hotel never disappoints , with its great service , lovely food , amazing beaches and overall chilled vibes. Again must thank all the staff for making this holiday, with a special mention to Maria, Sabrina, Trisha, Grafton, Donell, Xavier, Kevin, Petra, Ryan, Dale, Ronald, Maxine, Sherylynn, Anderson and Da-Maria, not forgetting all the watersport boys for all their help .... and to extra special mention to Kyle, Damien and Rayden, who helped us stay horizontal for most of the holiday and waited on us every day of our stay. Great people , great holiday. Look forward to coming back soon
