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.

Our wonderful Antiguan vacation.

We enjoyed our stay in the Royal Suites area. It was very quiet. The staff are outstanding and the food was good. This place has a nice Caribbean vibe and the private tour of the island was really good.
Our room was spacious with a lovely view of the bay. The resort is really clean, everyone working to constantly maintain the property.
Family focused all inclusive

Food and activities and accommodations are excellent for a family oriented all inclusive. We made a lot of great memories. Special shout out to Capt Shaq and Joel who took our family on an awesome catamaran cruise inclusive of picnic and snorkeling - we shared a lot of laughs and made lifelong family memories

The resort is spread out so be ready to walk. The food is delicious. The resort grounds are really clean. The beach was off limits due to the seaweed, however, the resort provided transportation to another resort. Food and beverage privileges were honored at the other resorts. I didn't have any issues with that. Very relaxing stay.
