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 the St James Villa & Resort between 1/6/26 to 7/6/26. Which was at the beginning of the monsoon season so the resort was quiet with about 30% of guest staying there at that time.

We stayed at the St James Villa & Resort between 1/6/26 to 7/6/26. Which was at the beginning of the monsoon season so the resort was quiet with about 30% of guest staying there at that time. The resort is about a 45 minute drive from the airport. We arranged a private transfer for ease. We stayed in a Junior suite No 179 in block 14 in the resort with a partial sea view. The room standard was ok, no mini bar but a full sized fridge with mini freezer and no room service. Large comfortable super king bed and bathroom had twin sinks with large walk-in shower. Room had good air con. Shower water was tepid but this was quite welcoming due to the humid 30 degree weather. There was one down side about the location of our room and that was that is was very close to Reed side pool. So we could hear the music from that whilst in our room. They were also completing some renovations works so some building and construction noise could be heard as well at times. So our afternoon siestas weren’t as peaceful as we would have liked, but if we sat out on the balcony facing the ocean with the door closed it was very peaceful with only the sound of the ocean. The restaurants are more suited for breakfast & lunch rather than dinner. Food was ok, nothing special to be honest. Overall, we had a pleasant stay but we have stayed at nicer resorts elsewhere in the Caribbean. I wouldn’t consider this to be a four star resort more like a three star, which is a pity as the resort is nice and the grounds are beautiful but the resort and accommodation buildings are looking a bit tired and could do with a refresh in a few places. The staff however, were all very pleasant polite & welcoming at all times and very friendly. A special mention for Chef Tamara at Coco’s restaurant and the lovely Joanne in the Mamora Bay Cafe The overall price for 2 people for an all inclusive experience was OK. Read less
