The 76-room Mango Bay (formerly the Mango Bay Hotel and Beach Club) was built in 1993 and has recently undergone renovations. It is located in St. James and the heart of Holetown, a historic west-coast town. The resort has a pool and beach, one restaurant, and is located about 40 minutes from Grantly Adams International Airport. Mango Bay is surrounded by palm trees on one side, the Caribbean on the other. It's a pricey resort; standard rooms run $595 a night with penthouses fetching $2,250, and include all meals and beverages (except specialty wines, champagne and bottled water) and a trip into Bridgetown.
