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 have just arrived back after 2 weeks at this hotel and I have to be honest this has been a totally fantastic stay. We have travelled to numerous Caribbean islands / hotels and also stayed at other Elite hotels in the past, but this hotel beats them hands down by far. From arriving the Royal Suite was exceptional to the food been amazing. Other than the weather the best thing about this hotel are the staff, they are so warm and welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us, especially at meal times, Dickson, the Food and Beverage Assistant Manager from day one was friendly, helpful and very welcoming, always had time for us and he is a great asset to his team and also Dianna one of the waitresses who again was very friendly, made us welcome and always had time for a chat. The GM Riaan, is a credit to the Elite group, all staff have respect for him and this shows from the cleaning, maintenance, food & bar staff, which In turn gives a fantastic guest experience. We have been to Antigua many times and never experienced such a friendly team in a hotel, we will definitely be back next year. Here we have nothing to fault, all we can say is good things about the resort! Thank you all once again for such a great holiday, it was such a shame to come home! Read less

Once again me and the family had an excellent vacation at St James Club and villas the staff are friendly , the food wss fantastic, the accommodations where great. The café shop was run my a happy lady named Jo Anne she was a very cheerful way to start the day along with a great coffee and pastry . There was a beach party Friday night which was a nice way to meet other guests and staff on a less structured way, the food there was great and allowed you to try more different foods. Look forward to another trip there in the new year. Read less

Missing St James’s and Antigua so much! 10 of us had a fantastic time with so many happy memories made. Thank you for looking after us all so well from start to finish, you went above and beyond. There is a great team working at the hotel and they are led by a fantastic General Manager , Riaan. We love Ken and the water sports team, they are all so experienced and friendly. The lady on the Royal Suites reception desk was so nice and always wanted to help. This also goes to the lady that drove the boys up to the villa when they changed rooms. The boys loved the villa, this was an amazing experience for them on top of everything else. Elvis, Omar and Dickson were always there for a chat and to ensure we had the best experience. This also goes for Denisha behind the bar who introduced the Hibiscus to us. We all hope to return again one day, but for now we have the memories which will last forever! Read less

Our stay at St. James’s Club & Villas, Antigua was nothing short of a dream. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the resort's magical ambiance—a perfect harmony of secluded luxury, lush tropical greenery, and postcard-worthy ocean vistas. The gentle sea breezes and serene atmosphere make it an absolute sanctuary for anyone looking to unwind in paradise. The accommodations were spectacular. Our room was remarkably spacious, impeccably clean, and beautifully decorated with an elegant coastal charm. Waking up each morning to the soothing sound of the waves and looking out at the turquoise waters from our private balcony set the tone for every perfect day. The culinary experience completely exceeded our expectations. Every meal was a delightful journey of flavors, offering an impressive variety of fresh, delicious dishes cooked to perfection. Dining with the ocean as our backdrop turned every breakfast, lunch, and dinner into a memorable event. However, what truly elevated our holiday from wonderful to extraordinary was the world-class service—most notably from Dickson. Good hospitality is rare, but the level of care Dickson provided is priceless. He went above and beyond every single day, anticipating our needs before we even spoke, always greeting us with a genuine, warm smile, and ensuring every moment of our stay was effortless. His heartfelt kindness, professionalism, and attentive care made us feel less like guests and more like cherished family. St. James’s Club is a paradise in its own right, but team members like Dickson give it its true soul. To Dickson and the entire team: thank you for creating memories we will cherish for a lifetime. We are already counting down the days until our return! Read less
