Villa with 3 Bedrooms, Sleeps 7, Garden, Swimming Pool
At Mangoes self-catering villa, ideal for seven people plus a baby, we provide comfort, convenience and quality at sensible prices, offering real value for your money. Many holiday accommodations in Barbados are plush but expensive. Others are affordable but usually neither as well equipped nor as conveniently located as this lovely house.
Mangoes is a light, airy house set in large tropical gardens just across the road from the Caribbean sea and the swimming pool. It has an ideal situation on the "Platinum Coast" with all the facilities you could want or need on holiday close at hand. Shops, supermarkets, beach-bars, restaurants, hairdressers, water sports, a gymnasium and even an internet café are all a short walk away.
The villa has three large bedrooms (one x twin/king, one x twin/queen and one x 3 single beds + cot), ideal for sleeping seven persons plus a baby. Each bedroom has quiet, remote-control split air conditioning, ceiling fan, hairdryer, wardrobe, dressing table and bedside tables with lamps. There are two recently modernised bathrooms, one with bath and shower, one with shower only.
The kitchen is fresh, clean and well equipped with cooker, fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster, and coffee maker, various utensils and lots of crockery including unbreakables for outdoor use. A washing machine for guests is provided in the separate washroom.
The living room, which is furnished with a three- two- one lounge suite, occasional tables, book shelves and TV/Video unit, leads to the recently created "al fresco" dining room. Toys and equipment are stored in the washroom and are all there for your use, so please enjoy!
You can use the telephone to make free calls around the island. It is not possible to make outgoing phone calls abroad but the telephone can receive calls from abroad.
At meal times, choose the "al fresco" dining room, relax on the large verandah, overlooking the tropical gardens or you might prefer to dine in the shady gazebo, secretly tucked away near the mango tree!
Our manager organises maid service three times weekly and is available to assist in matters such as car hire for example.
We have provided Mangoes with a high level of effective yet unobtrusive security to suit everyone. There is a safe in the master bedroom, complete alarm system and attractive lockable wrought iron gates to doors and windows. The garden gates are also lockable to keep would-be vendors at a distance.

Local activities in and around Holetown, Eastern Caribbean
Although it is only 21 miles long by 14 wide, Barbados is a "big-little" island, with a tremendous variety of things to see and do!
The coastline divides naturally into three parts:-
1 - The East is mostly wild and scenic with huge Atlantic waves pounding the beaches, ideal for sightseeing and photo-opportunities but not recommended for swimming!
2 - The West (our bit, also the chosen venue for nearly all of the top-class hotels and many luxury villas, which house the rich and famous) has much calmer waters and is ideal for swimming and snorkelling (the Folkestone Underwater National Park is right opposite Mangoes).
3 - The South Coast Beaches have much less calm waters than the West, but are mostly still safe for bathing. The pace of life is quicker here and nightlife generally noisier especially in "St. Lawrence Gap".
Attractions
There are too many visitor venues to list all but we would strongly recommend that you see Harrison's Cave, Bathsheba (incredible coastline), Andromeda Botanical Gardens (lunch at the Hibiscus Café while you are there!) and the Flower Forest. You could visit a Rum Distillery or the Malibu Centre and you can get to the capital, Bridgetown, by bus - it can be quite an experience to see how many people they can cram on board!!! Or get away from it all; try finding some of the lovely, unspoilt beaches illustrated and take a picnic!
Activities
Back at Mangoes on our own West Coast, as well as enjoying the swimming pool just across the road, you can swim, snorkel, dive (the dive-school is just 150 metres away), water-ski, jet-ski or para-glide. For more sedate enjoyment, you can take a trip in a glass-bottomed boat or catamaran, cruise on the "Jolly Roger" or even go underwater in the Atlantis submarine.
Eating Out
If you want to dine out you can walk from Mangoes to many restaurants and bars in less than five minutes. The area has every sort of eating out available, from (good) fast food at economical prices to fine dining. Prices are generally reasonable by UK/USA standards and you can easily dine "beachfront" without paying a fortune! Old "Holetown", two streets within easy walking distance, is the home of a wide selection of establishments serving food and drink
