The hotel

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.

I enjoyed my 50th Birthday at St. James Club hotel and Villas. The room i stayed was excellent. I had a great view from my balcony of the beach and the sea. I enjoyed all the amenities as a guest which included food, coffee from the coffee shop off the receptionist desk, and drinks from restaurants and the bars on the property. I like the fact that the hotel is all inclusive. The hotel went all out to help celebrate my birthday. The hotel gave me cakes and treats and even a bottle of white wine. A special thanks to the staff who were so gracious and courteous to me. Would I do a staycation at this hotel again. Yes I definitely would. Read less

I stayed at St. James’s Club Antigua from August 28 to September 2, 2025, booked through Elite Island Vacations. Unfortunately, the experience did not reflect the quality or conditions advertised on either company’s website. Major issues included: – The room and property were in noticeably poor condition, with mold-like areas near the screen door and a bathroom that was never properly cleaned. – Despite multiple requests, no additional bedding was ever provided. – A reserved dinner at Piccolo Mondo was delayed nearly three hours beyond the scheduled time. – The pool appeared dirty and unmaintained. – On the final night, food was left uncovered in the heat, leading to a case of food poisoning that ruined my rest and made travel home extremely difficult. – Roaches were seen in my room, and friends staying on the third floor had the same experience. – At Rainbow Garden, where breakfast was served, birds freely flew inside, landing on guests’ plates and even one guest’s hair. While the staff was polite, these conditions reflect serious lapses in cleanliness, food safety, and overall maintenance. This stay was grossly misrepresented compared to what was promoted online and through Elite Island Vacations’ marketing. Travelers deserve transparency and basic health standards, and I hope this review helps others make informed decisions before booking. Read less

Wonderful stay at St James again after a few years, welcoming reception staff Dejani was fantastic as was all others at reception. Resort was quiet which we loved and still had a great variety of food to offer. We had a complimentary room upgrade half way through our stay which was fantastic. We just wanted to thankyou for our fabulous stay at your wonderful resort, Kim loved your hobie cats and your sailing staff, drinks were exceptional, especially at the pool bars, great knowledge and always happy and professional. Rooms super clean and having a coffee shop was great with snacks and pastries to choose from. Great gift shop on site, which kindly re-opened for us so I could buy something, a massive thankyou from Harriet and Kim, we will return ! I loved all the food, breakfast was amazing, so much variety with a dedicated chef for all your needs for eggs, especially the freshly made hollandaise very day. Lunch and dinner, always great choice and variety. Read less

We have recently come back from St James's Club and Villas and it was a lovely stay. We stayed in the royal suites and had premium alcohol at all bars. It included 2 private pools and a private adults only bar. Denisha was amazing. Her service and hospitality was impeccable. We requested cocktails that weren't on the list and she made them with no fuss! We loved having her daily at the pool. Ozzie was also fantastic. Him and his team kept us entertained during a hurricane. He always bought enthusiasm to everyone and cheered everyone up. He truly loves his job and entertaining the guests. Wilson was the best at making espresso martinis. He was the most exceptional barman, always concocting new drinks for us to try. Riaan has recently taken over as GM and things are on the up for this resort. He provides the most amazing customer service and does everything he can to keep the guests happy. Milton, the F&B manager, always checked in with us throughout our stay ensuring everything was to standards. He was always polite and trying to improve the service when needed. Great range of food throughout our stay with different themes per day also including live music at dinner. Loved that I could have eggs royale for breakfast every day. Loads of sunbeds to choose from. Car hire available on site which was handy and cheap. They're are a range of restaurants, but due to us visiting out of season, these we shut for renovations. This hasn't put us off from returning as all in all, it was a great stay and lovely resort. Would definitely recommend! Read less
