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.

Beautiful hotel with amazing views of the ocean or the bay from all rooms on the hotel side. The service and food at Coco’s and Eleven Eleven were great. Food at Docksider was good but super slow service. Staff at all restaurants worked really hard & did the best they could while being understaffed for the season. We enjoyed the water sports & the pools. Wish there was more local food for breakfast but all seafood dishes were great. Shout out to the breakfast chefs especially Maurice and the front desk staff.
We highly recommend the Pink Panther Tours. Jahira and Gabby were amazing! They know ALL things about their island, they were energetic & fun & we felt very safe during the drive. We loved it!

From our first view of Mamora Bay in the taxi we knew that we would have a wonderful holiday. The cocktails on our arrival in reception put us in the mood for the rest of our trip. Within an hour we were having lunch at the Beach Bar watching the activity on the Bay: sailing kayaking and paddle boarding. Our first dinner was at Docksider and the quality of the food remained first class throughout our trip. On our first morning we enjoyed the cooling breeze on the Ocean side and that afternoon we moved over to the Bay side. We had good intentions to use the well equipped gym, to play tennis or Pickle Ball but we succumbed simply to relax until the hot sun or in the warm water or sipping ice cold cocktails! The staff were very friendly and helpful : they always had a smile on their faces. We look forward to a return trip to St James Club.

Our first time so we had no idea what to expect. The airport and taxi transfer was seamless and immediately friendly. The resort is quite unique and a complete getaway for peace and relaxation. For those sporty types plenty to do or just enjoy the incredible private beach, white sands and warm waters. A really good team for the kayak and other bay activities. The catering and bar teams are amazing and always keen to help. The Reception , external activities and buggy service all excellent. Also the maintainence team very good. Wishing you all well till we are back !
