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 thoroughly enjoyed our recent trip. We came as a large group (about 60 people) of tennis & pickleball players from a tennis club in North Carolina. The resort was great about accommodating us earlier than planned due to winter storms and also extending our stay an additional day for checkout when flights were canceled. We were very appreciative!
Ozzie worked with is throughout our stay to ensure everything went smoothly. Keshna was a delight—she ensured our tennis & pickleball courts were good to go and even stayed at the courts while we had our instruction to make sure we had everything we might need, including water and towels. The food and rooms were very good, and we really enjoyed the Friday night Beach Party. We hated to leave.

Wonderful resort! So many things to do and see on the property! Tennis, pickle ball, kayaking, sailing, stand up paddle board, fun day and night activities. The property is absolutely gorgeous with so many beaches and pool options to meet all vacations needs. Food is wonderful and many different options. The Beach party night is absolutely fantastic with so many different food options to try, great local show to highlight Antiqua culture, set on the beautiful beach overlooking mountains and sunset. Most favorite are the dance parties and pool activities led by Ozzie! Staff is so nice and helpful! Cannot say enough about this wonderful resort!

Fabulous complex to stay
Great value & not skipping on anything
Complex spotless & pleasant to walk around- or get buggy if too far to walk (its not too far at all but good if you can't walk far or are feeling lazy)
Rooms big, spotless & clean towels & beds made daily
Toiletries nice & replaced daily
Food in the several restaurants are amazing & you can eat anytime
Cocktails available anytime & are great- lots of choice too
Entertainment really good- you can take it or leave it & doesn't go on too late in the evening so peaceful at night-lots of entertainment, live music each night at one of the restaurants
Beaches nice & plenty of comfortable sunbeds- not great to snorkel but taxis readily available to take you to beaches that are better to snorkel
Watersports good- lots of choices- kayak, paddleboard & hobie cat
There's a desk to book any trips out & a shop selling essentials
Most staff are lovely- just the odd one who can be a little sulky
Would definitely return- 10/10 A*****

This was our second time to the St. James Club although this time we went with 5 other couples. We truly enjoyed the incredible views and relaxing in such a beautiful setting. Piccolo Mondo, one of the restaurants, has a nice menu with good variety, great service and a beautiful view - definitely worth the upcharge! Rianna, the General Manager, could not have been more accommodating and available - very eager to please! Unfortunately, our return home was delayed by 3 days due to a huge winter storm, the resort shuffled some rooms around and went out of their way to get us a room. Will definitely go back.
