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.

We stayed at St James Club for eight nights and we wish we could have stayed longer. The Resort has beautiful surroundings, which include two private beaches, perfect for relaxing, unwinding and soaking up the sun. We were lucky enough to stay in the Royal Suites which we cannot recommend enough. The Suites are spacious, clean and are beautifully finished. Not to mention the superb sea view from the balcony. There are plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from, both on the beach and by the pools. There is a Beach Bar Buggy which can deliver a cold drink right to your sun lounger. Our favourite lunch spot was Eleven-11 which had a great choice of food and a beautiful view of the ocean. The evening offers a great selection of meals often with themed nights such as Italian night with a live Pasta making station. There is also a fee to dine at the resorts finest restaurant, Piccolo Mondo, which we would really recommend visiting. It was the favourite meal of our stay and was very special. The beach party which is hosted on resort every Friday is a must, with an extensive on beach buffet, BBQ and entertainment. There are lots of things to do on resort. A highlight for us were the watersports facilities which allow you to take out Hobie Cats, paddle boards and kayaks. Also on the beach there are our personal favourites, the floating hammocks. The resort sits on a private peninsula which is easy to get to from the airport and is close to English Harbour, which is worth a visit if you want to leave the resort for the day. Additionally, the Resort if very close to Shirley Heights which has a party every Thursday and Sunday. Taxis can easily and quickly be organised from reception to these destinations. Staff at the resort are very friendly, helpful and cannot do enough for you and enhanced our stay in Antigua. All staff went above and beyond, including the resort manager who assisted us with any queries. Overall, we had the best stay and will definitely be returning. Read less

The St James Club is the perfect place to spend vacation with family. The beach front room was like new. The food is excellent, a wide variety to choose from. Riann, the GM, Lyndon, at guest services, and Ozzie, the porter, all helped to make our stay perfect. Looking forward to going back in 2026.

7th return 2weeker. 100 acre peninsula paradise. Rivalled only by the service and food. Layed back, elegantly casual. Safest resort I've been to. The people are very accommodating and wonderful. Going back in March.

Second visit here ( previous in2013). This time we upgraded to Royal Suites which was worth it for adult only pool/bar. Not much has changed, coffee shop welcome addition but food quality very variable across resort and cocktails poor. Overall a good break for what we paid but room for improvement
