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.

St.James Club and Villa is the place to be during hiliday,Despite we was there for business meeting and we really enjoyed so very much.The services offered are extremely super good,we meet the Hotel general manager Riaan who was super visible during our stay and culture created within the hotel are excellent.
Only thing we saw now as challenge is only Seaweed and when we asked we are told is season and for this we think it is not a hotel fault.
We will definitely comeback to this hotel and we will recomend to our fellow business partners to visit.
Thank you team the Food and beverage team was great and super.
