Lovely property but major building works
The location of the property was very not far from Holetown, and close to the beach. We liked the property and the outside space, swimming pool and the veranda were great. The only was that there was major building works going on directly opposite the property and the noise was terrible, and this was for 5 and half days a week, it also created a lot of dust, but the property manager Geoff did arrange for us to have an additional weekly clean which was very kind of him. You couldn’t use the downstairs outside eating area or BBQ as it was so dusty and always felt dirty no matter how many times it was cleaned. But we did really like the property and felt comfortable there, but we did go out more than we had intended because of the noice, so all in all we didn’t have the peaceful holiday that we would would have liked

Holiday ruined by construction site noise
Extreme disappointment that the property owner did not inform us of the fact that there was a major construction site 10m from the rear of the property that was in operation Monday to Saturday 06:30 to 16:30hrs and minor operations being carried out on Sunday mornings. The construction site had been working for some considerable time (12 months plus) before we arrived and was some months from completion when we left. Wagons delivering and tipping stone & materials causing noise and dust. Construction plant & machinery being delivered and collected on multiple occasions. Emptying and servicing of site toilet units. Smell was horrendous and extremely noisy. The pool area was not only very dusty (including the two sun beds/chairs) but the environment was very noisy and as a result we were unable to use the pool area at any time during our stay. Constant noise from the site cement mixers (also located at the front of the building site which was around 10m from the rear of the apartment) which were working constantly during site working hours and being loaded manually and by site machinery. Th property was tired and not well maintained. Dirty crockery, No hot water in the kitchen. Bedroom wardrobes collapsed, no outside light for eating. No dining table to eat meals from inside. Shutters bolted shut with polythene over. Dirty cooker & hob. Location is good for beach and public transport which will be needed as pool are is unbearable to relax by and use.

I am sorry this happened, we at Mango Court were told that the development would be finished by end of January 23 with new owners moving in , apparently the main property build had finished but not the external landscaping and ground works, we are now told a finish date of late March 2023 Re the other comments , water pressure was effected by development along with dust , cleaners were increased to help along with extra terrace & pool cleaning , polyurethane was put up on outside to help stop dust ingress, the dinning patio / table is accessible from inside, you unbolt the shutter doors and they fold back opening onto the dining patio , a call to the house manager (always on hand to help) and all the interior problems would of been rectified! I have offered the guest a complimentary holiday as a gesture of good will, obviously once the development is totally finished , the development is totally out of the control of Mango Court but when finished it will enhance the area as it’s all single story and landscaped once again I am sorry for this guests experience

Extensive, long term construction
The property is relatively well located but for the extensive long term construction underway to build 30 3-4 bedroom villas right next to the back of the villa. The villa has no glass windows just levered shuttered which cannot be opened due to th noise, diet and the extra stimulation this gives the local mosquito population. There are no mosquito screens on these doors and windows and the mosquito nets on the beds are grubby. We unfortunately spent as little time in the property as possible due to this and the fact that the property hadn’t been cleaned properly (the dust was not solely down to the construction). At 2am the security shift swapped over noisily and at 6am construction starts. The pool area is dusty and mucky; whilst the gardening lady cleans the garden with a hose, nobody cleans outside the front doors and it’s dirty and slippery. Additionally Mango court 1 is being refurbished so there’s lots of mess outside and stangnant water, a haven for mosquitoes. With some investment this property could be made amazing but for now I would find somewhere else. It’s a shame given how responsive both the property owner and manager were but being told “it’s just like that in Barbados” doesn’t cut it with us (we’ve been here many times!).

Hi Yes the last 12 months has been challenging, however the major works are now finished and new owners are moving in late December/ early January so it’s landscaping and interior furnishings etc going on the road is cleaned and hosed down 2/3 times a week Number one M/C work is now completed and we power wash the pool deck a few times a week along with the gardening ! As soon as I was told about security noise I contacted the developer who immediately acted on this and is now monitoring this The few items in number 3 were and are resolved and new nets purchased I think the comment “it’s just like that in Barbados “ I believe related to the comment about mosquitoes we are in the tropics and the rainy season just finishing now ! I would like to ask Allison back next year with the first 5days of a stay complementary as a gesture of good will . Regards Steve (Owners rep)

Ask Questions
The pictures in the listing are beautiful and the owner is responsive. I requested an early check-in so that I could get set up for a meeting, and it was approved. The flower pots are broken, and the lounge chairs in the photo were unkept. The housekeeper met me there smiled, gave me the keys, and told me she would return the following Monday with more laundry supplies; the washing machine did not work (was later informed that it was cold water wash only). I began my meeting, tried to turn on the lamp, it didn't work and another light bulb was missing, the fan didn't work. I decided to make pasta for lunch, the dishes were dirty (including the ones in the dishwasher), and upon further inspection, I noticed that the entire place had not been cleaned. I messaged the owner, he was responsive. He had the regular housekeeper come back the next day to clean. She didn't want to, she was rude, began speaking loudly, and I had to ask her to leave. He (the owner) asked his friends to come over to help, they suggested I take a lamp from one of the rooms upstairs and use it. They asked their housekeeper if she would help, by cleaning my unit; she did an excellent job. She was the "Best". THERE IS ONGOING CONSTRUCTION THAT WAS NOT DISCLOSED AT ALL. Construction begins promptly at 0600 Mon-Fri and perhaps 0700 on Saturday making it difficult to sleep in and work. The property manager was aware. This information was given to the owner.

Beautiful Vacation!
Mango Court was a great spot for our short family vacation. Well located near the fairmont and lone star. We rented a car to make it easier for the kids, and to access the grocery store and restaurants. We loved using the pool. We enjoyed cooking dinner at the property. The BBQ made that easy. For the beach, we rented chairs with Rico between the Fairmont and Lone star hotel. They sold food and drinks. We spent one day at the boatyard. Totally worth it. A car was a must to get there. The beach was fabulous. With je kids we had to get there early to get the good chairs. Like 10am. Mango court property was good. It looked a little more dated than the pictures but once we settled in, we were very comfortable. I loved hanging out in the hammock at the deck. Bonus point for having a Nespresso machine. I brought my own capsules of my favourite coffee.

Good stay in Barbados
The place is really cute and has a nice courtyard with a pool that is shared with only 3 other houses - we were even lucky enough to have it for ourselves for a day or two. The location in Porters is good, close to good dining options in Holetown. The house also has a grill that we used and is generally a nice place on the west coast for exploring. The only things that could be better is the maintenance of the place, as it felt like not a lot of effort is put into that (some deeper clean up, there was no cutting boards in the kitchen etc).

winter getaway
This property was a delight. Took the family for w getaway of their choice and since we have been to Barbados several times this was the pick. The property was all we hoped it would be and Geoff the on sight contact was extremely helpful. The location is great with access to the beach, close to the bus service and both Holetown and Speitstown within minutes. Th deck off the MBR was an absolute joy and the almost daily visits from the monkies was a hit with the kids. They are talking about "next time" already !!

Spacious Home but could be equipped a little better
The home is in a very safe neighbourhood , however we were travelling without a car and it was a LONG walk to the beach , and some beaches were hard to access. The home has lots of sqft , but lacked some maintenance, the kitchen was equipped but lacked sharp knives and a full pots and pans set. It was however nice to have the BBQ at the house. The leaning mirrors were a concern since we had a 2 and 4 year old toddler. The maid came with only 24 hours left in our 4 day trip , I thought that could have been managed better. There was no book with local restaurants or tips and tricks for travellers in the house , that would have been nice. Geoff was easy to get ahold of on Whattsapp but did not really have a stong grasp on reccomendations of where to eat etc. The check in and check out were seamless and Steve was great to talk to when we were booking. They could use proper beach towels. The maid did an excellent job and even found a cot for our 4 year old to sleep on , I wish Geoff would have taken the time to give that to us out of the storage when we arrived.

Barbados chill out
Great property, though looking a little tired. Good facilities and well managed by Geoff Fox. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay and would recommend Mango Court to people wanting a holiday home close to facilities and beach.

Beautiful place... you should go!
We had a wonderful time at Mango Court. We are a family of 5 and had enough space and a great time. Our friends rented the house next door so it was fantastic to share the pool with all the kids and the meals :) We rented a car to run errands and visit the island (a must). Thank you Steve, thank you Geoff, you are amazing hosts!

Relax in Barbados
Barbados Airport is currently operating a go slow in the immigration area. So, once I get off the plane it took another 60 minutes plus to get out of the airport, which is disheartening after a long haul flight. I would like to say a big "Thank You" to Geoffrey Fox who did the meet and greet at the Villa and was only a phone call away. The Villa is as the photos and easy to find on the West Coast. There were a few minor challenges - there is no microwave (so if you cooked one day and needed to warm the food up on the next day, the only alternative was to use a pot, which is going back in time! The toilet in the main bedroom was not filling up with water, flushing was intermittent, the electric gates stopped working twice, but was assessed quickly and resolved during my stay. Water pressure changed twice during my week stay, but corrected itself. There was no TV or Radio to keep up-to-date with current affairs and any major alerts on the island. Barbados had the worst rain fall and floods on Tuesday 29.11.16, advised to stay in. The stay was relaxing, peaceful and homely, exactly what I wanted. I would gladly revisit Mango Court. "Thank you" Steven Cox.

Hi Carol Glad you had a relaxing time , yes the airport can sometimes be a challenge , sorry about the few little problems but glad they were sorted out ! Microwave never had a request before but I have instructed Geoff to get a small one ! There is a TV for the local channel and a DVD player also the music centre has a Radio button with great local stations news etc ! Sorry if you weren't inform Boy did it Rain on that Tuesday Prince Harry must have brought it in from UK :)) We look forward to seeing you again soon Steve

Fantastic location for beach, buses to loads of local attractions .
Property spacious with all required to make our stay comfortable. Outside terrace and pool superb. Nice quiet suburban road close to all amenities. Geoff was on hand to help if we required anything and was very friendly. I would rent this property again.
