“Love St. James”

Sep 17, 2025cathyp448

Love St. James if you want to just relax and eat good food and have a beautiful view. Love the jerk chicken that moves around the resort in a mobile BBQ cart. Love everything about St. James and the very helpful staff.

“Not the a fan of this resort”

Sep 16, 2025Stephanie H

I have to say my butlerTroy was amazing and super cute too. He did his best to minimize issues any issues we had with the hotel. As well as booked all excursions and dinner. We selected early check in before we got to the hotel but it wasn’t available when we got there. I think we went up 20 mins before 3 and the front desk Clark stated we should pay 50 dollars at least for going up early at all. The refrigerated never worked room service took all day. And the food was horrible except the French fries they were pretty good. For the most part I have to say it was the worst resort food I personally have ever experienced. Only the main bar had top shelf alcohol which was disappointing . And at the evening parts in the lobby they quickly ran out of top shelf alcohol. sand was serving Smirnoff or something of that nature. There was issues getting clean wash cloths everyday. I was very annoyed about it. And this is the only all inclusive I have stayed at where I had to pay extra for stake and or lobster. The list goes on. All in all I did not prefer this resort and I am sure I won’t return. Rating this a 2/5.
