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.

The service of a high standard. Management is very visible and approachable. Guest did actually seem very happy. It is also obvious tgat some upgrades are ongoing without affecting he guest experience. Special thanks to General Manager Riaan, Omar, Nia, Ken, Tanisia and Shanika. The resort is a must visit.

After visiting St James’ many times in the past with the family and really enjoyed it, this was our worst visit to the resort by far. The beaches are unusable from the impact of the Sargassum seaweed - both water quality and smell; there are numerous noisy works areas across the resort occurring daily; restaurant choice is restricted to usually only 2 per evening; and management were very slow to communicate. That said the team are great! Including Ozzie, Tori, Jo-Ann, Stephen and many, many more who were so welcoming, positive and helpful. Thank you to the whole team. With the need to get off resort due to the smell, we visited many stunning parts of Antigua. We highly recommend the beaches on the West Coast (including Darkwood, Pigeon Point & Little Ffryes); the rainforest; Boom day pass at their pool & restaurant; The Hut beach club on Little Jumby; the Tuk-Tuk raod tour; and Cloggys restaurant. And if you love swimming with turtles, a boat trip to Green Island is a must! Overall, Antigua and its people did not disappoint. It’s our Happy Place. Sadly, St James’ did on this occasion.

Went to St.James club for with family for my wife’s 40th birthday. First impression of the resort, it was nice. A very large property with lots to do. The food was very good. However, the people in the entire resort was super unfriendly even when you tip them, they appear to not be thankful or appreciative. They were very stuck up. The food selection for lunch was very limited at the main pool area. Please note that there are not buffet except for breakfast and once a week for their beach party. There are à la carte restaurants where the portions are very small. But the food is very good. The evening entertainment was done by 10 pm. The one bar that opened late did not play any music most of the nights except for one night where they had a DJ, which was nice. They had sports on the television. The main pool bar was lively during the day with music. Overall, the resort is nice but the people are very unfriendly and unappreciative. The food was good but there are no buffet except for breakfast and one night for dinner and the entertainment is almost non existent. Would not recommend or go back. Read less

My stay at St. James's Club Antigua was absolutely wonderful! I was there celebrating a friend's birthday, and from the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience. The food was excellent, with a variety of delicious options. One of the highlights of the trip was the resort's beach party. It was phenomenal—beautifully organized, lively, and so much fun. It truly captured the spirit and beauty of Antigua. I stayed in a beachfront room that had been updated and was very comfortable. The view was amazing, and waking up each morning to the sight and sound of the ocean was unforgettable. The combination of outstanding service, great food, comfortable accommodations, and memorable activities made this a perfect vacation destination. I would definitely return to St. James's Club Antigua and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the island. Thank you to the entire team for helping make our stay so special! DWJ Read less
