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.

Truly a slice of paradise at the St. James Club & Villas. A sprawling 110 acres helped us feel like we were the only people there. Two beaches to choose from, the ocean and the bay, and an abundance of chaise lounges and towels available daily. The rum punch flowed! And gorgeous flora throughout the resort’s winding pathways and even a little turtle sanctuary!
We had a second-floor double beachfront room which was HUGE and super comfortable, with a large and very private balcony as well. We’re pretty tidy so we only requested maid service once over our 5-day stay, and the person did a spectacular job.
Restaurant server Shenekia was AMAZING! She greeted us with a giant smile every day at breakfast and treated us with such warmth. She really made our meals special.
The Friday night Beach Party was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Live music, a huge assortment of delicious food, and the sand beneath our toes. I can’t believe they do this elaborate set-up every Friday, truly spectacular.
The only thing I can think of that could use a little improvement was the front desk personnel. They seemed understaffed, and the folks working all seemed unhappy. Perhaps not every time I approached them, but enough for me to notice.
As my title says, do yourselves a favor and stay here. I’m pining to go back as I type this!

We had a fabulous time at the resort. We enjoyed the pool bar and it was easy to get sun loungers. As the hotel was on the Atlantic the beach was not the best. Room was cleaned daily and bed comfortable. Overall the food was a great standard and variety. Brilliant service from all the staff. We went on two trips the pink panther and a boat trip…
