Hotels with Shopping in St. James from $230

"While the room and the pool were adequate, I had a number of problems with this property. They ran my Amex card three times for my deposit (it showed up immediately on my Amex app even though they claimed that it had not gone through on their machine); guest laundry cost $20 but they did not sell detergent. Breakfast had very limited choices. The guest rooms have an 8 digit code you have to memorize in order to enter. A fob key or 4 digits would be reasonable. The attitude of the evening duty manager was woeful, and the lady in the morning was not much better. Sour would have been a compliment. Does this hotel not want guests? They didn't seem to. Having 'failed' to run the deposit they then wanted to take $150 in cash. As I pointed out, their faulty card machine was not my fault. And in the end, they ran my card for $450. Beware and stay somewhere that actually wants your business. "

"Ok"

"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"

"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"
