Mango Bay, Barbados
 
Has anyone been here? It seems to be very reasonably priced so I'm wondering if there are any drawbacks. Is it close to Holetown?

Hi: Stayed at Discovery Bay Hotel next door to Mango Bay. Hotel looks fairly decent and all inclusive. If you want peace and quiet this is the place for you on the calm West Coast. Nothing much to see in Holetown. If you want more nightlife suggest South coast around St. Lawrence Gap. Good luck.

thanks Howard. We were next to St Lawrence this year and wanted to try somewhere on the west coast. I have also considered Discovery Bay- did you like it?

Hi: Stayed at Discovery Bay the next door neighbor to MangoBay in Holetown.<BR>DISCOVERY bay is a decent middle of the line hotel. Quiet area, nice baech, however no TVs in rooms has a large british clientele. Suggest eating at their restaurant, very good food, unless you want to spend a lot of buck for the 'ambiance" of the other rstaurants in town. In short a good buy for the money, unless you want a luxury hotel.

going with a couple friends to mango bay in a couple weeks. we are all in our mid 20s and single, just looking for a good relaxing time. by all accounts, mango bay should fit the bill. we are not looking to be treated as royalty. how bad can it be? anyone who has been there recently, can you let me know what to expect - good and bad - and any tips about staying there.
