St. James Business Hotels

"A lovely holiday with fantastic staff, but let down by departure day. Our recent stay here was genuinely lovely, largely thanks to the fantastic staff who were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our entire trip. The accommodation was excellent, the food was great, and the amenities were generally very good. If you are travelling with family, the kids' club is absolutely fantastic. If you like to work out while away, be aware that the fitness/gym facility is quite poor. The space is very limited, and there is a distinct lack of weight training equipment available. Unfortunately, our day of departure really put a dampener on the trip. We asked to keep our room for a short while to wash and change before our flight, but we were refused because "new clients were arriving." Given that a large portion of the hotel's guests travel from the UK, the flight schedules meant it was highly unlikely new arrivals would be needing our specific room while we were still on the property. It gave us the distinct impression that the hotel was only interested in keeping new arrivals happy at the expense of departing guests. Eventually, we were provided with a courtesy room to wash in, but the state of it was awful. It had a bad smell and was left in a total mess, complete with empty bottles and a huge pile of wet towels left behind. We had a beautiful holiday, but the way we were treated on departure day was a very disappointing end to an otherwise great holiday"

"Excellent stay and will be back. Pool was perfect for non-beach days. Room and kitchen were just what we wanted/needed for our stay. Beds were comfy Beaches, restos, and groceries were all a 10-15 easy walk away. Staff were friendly and always there for what you needed. A special kudos to the housekeeping ninjas who kept the place fresh each day 🙂 Loved our morning coffee and toast on the balcony with the birds and occasional monkey 😁 If I were to make any recommendations it would only be: Serrated knife for breads Faceloths added to the bath and hand towels provided Small broom and dustpan in the units allowing for self-cleaning on those sandy late afternoons. "

"The room was clean, however the bed was extremely uncomfortable. Felt like an old spring bed. Also only had a top sheet for coverage. There was no comforter or blanket which made it uncomfortable to sleep with air conditioning on. "

"This was not a true all inclusive resort. The majority of staff was not pleasant. The food was mediocre to be kind. However Barbados was a place I would travel to again more than likely it would be a different resort."

"Brilliant location, helpful staff and clean. It's a little dated but that didn't impact our stay as it's what we expected. Beds were comfortable and shower powerful."

"Happy atmosphere, comfortable room, beautiful beach, great food and attentive staff…loved our time at Mango Bay"

"Winston and Carlisle were very accommodating and helpful if we had any questions and the amenities were appreciated would reccomend to anybody "

"Courteous and friendly staff ,very clean rooms, beautiful beach,"

"Spacious one bedroom, lovely pool, only a few apartments on site, great community. Manager Janice, housekeeper Christine, and maintenance person Jason are all very friendly and accommodating. Within walking distance to everything you need. Would definitely stay again:)"
