Mango Bay Barbados

This welcoming resort is ideal for those looking for sun-kissed relaxation, a great all-inclusive package and easy access to Holetown’s shops, restaurants and bars. Sip a lovely cool rum punch under shady palms and tropical flowers by the lagoon-style pool, feel the ocean breeze in your hair as you sail along the coast, or stroll down the beach in search of hidden coves. Join a catamaran tour for the incredible chance to see a variety of birds and turtles. Look for other local wildlife such as monkeys, mongooses and the graceful egrets that come to roost at night.

The beachfront restaurant and bar offers a casual setting for all meals and nothing is too much trouble for the friendly staff who are happy to accommodate any dietary requirements. Start your day with an expansive buffet breakfast accompanied by ocean views, and take a break from sunbathing or watersports to enjoy afternoon tea. A range of Caribbean and international dishes are served at lunch and during candlelit dinners where typical dishes include speciality grilled steaks, freshly caught seafood and tempting local desserts such as coconut cream pie. Join the fun at the popular weekly barbecue night and enjoy a range of entertainment, from low-key piano music to lively limbo dancing.

The contemporary rooms are set either in the main building or in a separate block. Standard Rooms overlook the front of the hotel or the garden and are closer to Holetown’s lively streets while Oceanfront Rooms offer a more tranquil setting and the chance to awaken to the sound of the waves lapping the shore. Standard One Bedrooms are ideal for families as they feature a separate living room and bedroom.
