St. James's Club, Antigua | Antigua, Caribbean | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Antigua, Caribbean

4 stars

This lovely hotel sits on its own 100-acre peninsula at the southeast point of the island, just a 10-minute drive from Nelson's Dockyard with its historical buildings, museum and bars. There are two beaches, one for non-motorised water sports and the other for enjoying refreshing ocean breezes. The resort boasts five open-aired restaurants and one grill; most fêted of these is Piccolo Mondo, the resort's fine dining Mediterranean style restaurant in the village section, while the attractive waterside Docksider does a great Caribbean buffet each Thursday in alfresco surrounds. For a real treat, Royal Suites feature a king size bed with sunken living room, glass sliding doors to a private balcony and expansive bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and his and hers showers! A boardwalk also takes you from the suites right into the heart of Mamora Bay, perfect for strolling along in the moonlight! If plenty of home-from-home comforts appeal, choose a villa instead of a hotel room at St James's Club. Cheerful and bright, they feature warm Caribbean tones and terracotta tiles throughout. They're also very generous on space so are ideal for families and groups of friends.

“Okay stay”

Oct 05, 2025Fshah88

We had a good stay at St James in Antigua. We went in mid September so it was still somewhat off season. Note, if you go during off season a lot of things are closed or limited. When we went the Kids Club was closed the whole 5 days - they didn’t even open on weekends. The restaurants also have odd hours during off season and sometimes there was only 1 place open. There also ran out of things - lemons, limes, mint, etc and it was frustrating as we were there for several days. They ran out on our 1st or 2nd day there and still didn’t have it by the time we left. There was only 1 bar open past 10pm and they closed at 12am. There are no stocked mini fridges so if we wanted drinks afterwards it wasn’t possible. They also stopped food at 11pm even though this was advertised as a 24 hr all inclusive. There were many nights we would want a late snack and there was nothing open. There was only 1 area with AC and that was the indoor bar. They would turn down the AC though when it got late - felt like they were forcing us to go back to our rooms. All the restaurants don’t have AC and it was unbearably hot to eat. Service Service was hit or miss. I’m not sure if it was staffing issues or just the people but sometimes I would order a prosecco at breakfast and get it when I was leaving. They would have local hot sauce at one restaurant but not another and wouldn’t bother to bring it either. Some staff were very rude and just ignored us completely. The bar staff generally were all very friendly. Food Food was hit or miss. They generally ran out of the good food early on and the veg options stayed about the same even in different restaurants. The food either came out really fast or really slow and there was no way to predict it. There was no variety in breakfast the whole 5 days we were there so that got very tough after a while. They grilled jerk meats by the pool and ran out within 2 hours so not everyone was able to try it. Rooms The rooms were nice, felt a bit older and had some cracks but overall nice. Some of our other friends had rooms with leaks or bug because there were gaps so had a lot of mosquitos. The shower had hot water, a huge plus, but the pressure was very low as expected in a large resort. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. We got the beach view and it was nice to wake up to the ocean. AC was great in the rooms. Blankets were just a sheet. Pools They have 1 kid pool and next to it a bigger pool that’s about 4ft. They don’t have any towels or bars or service there though so it’s not the greatest. The main pool is pretty big and goes as deep as 6ft deep. There is a bar open by the pool so you can get drinks but no place for food. They said we can go get food and bring it to the pool but it’s not always easy. They also have 1 adult pool, it’s got a waterfall and is nice but not as deep or big. Beach There was A LOT of seaweed. Made it impossible to go on the beach. The locals told us most of the resorts have seaweed because of the side of the beach it’s on. The only beach that doesn’t have it or has less is Coco Beach but there aren’t a lot of resorts there. They had a bay side which was nicer but still slimly from algae. They had water activities on the beach that were included and that was nice. We took the sail boat out once. Overall, it’s a nice budget friendly place to stay if there are kids on the trip. I wouldn’t stay here again just because it lacks so many things that I would expect from an all inclusive - good service, variety in food, AC, and late night food/drinks.

“Amazing as always!!”

This is our 3rd visit as a family of four, and absolutely didn’t disappoint! We choose to go in the quieter months, so 1 or 2 restaurants are running sometimes on alternate days, but the choice and quality is still what you would expect from a 4 star resort. Staff are all absolutely fantastic, friendly, welcoming and always attentive to your needs! Rooms are immaculate and spacious and cleaned daily. Looking forward to returning next September!!
