We loved it!

What a fab location, 2 totally different beachs, one calm Mamora Bay, and one windy and stunning. We felt so at home here from day one.The staff were all very happy to see us, nothing was too much trouble, they really have superb customer service skills. They have a lovely well stocked gift shop, with groceries, wine and beer etc. Our room was 706 it was a suite with Ocean views..It was very spacious with a kitchen ,we didn't use anything other than the small fridge.The room is a littl [... read more]e dated, but the bed was comfy and we slept well.. We paid $10 a day for continuous wifi for our convenience ,but it is available free in the lobby.. The pools are lovely, so many to choose from, they have something for everyone, water sports were great and the staff were super friendly and got us involved in beach activities..Mamora Bay is ideal for using the SUP, Hobie Cat,windsurfing,kayaks.. On the whole the food was good,we tried Picolo Monda one night, we paid $75 for this and it was lovely.The only meal and service we were not happy with was Cocos, the bar tender was great, service was just ok and food was not to our liking..Lunch at 1-11 the next day for lunch was great..a lovely spot,we spent the day at the pool there. We so enjoyed tea and scones, mini sandwiches at tea time,4-5 pm at the main pool. Adults and children will love this place.. Overall we really loved it here and can't wait to return..

Great Stay

The hotel is very organized and it is easy to get around. Rooms: They are a bit outdated and on the upholstered furniture there is a lot of visible spots. Cleaned regularly and it is nice and clean. Food: For breakfast it is just the same all the time. I missed some fresh vegetables. Seating is very easy and the staff is exceptional. Lunch and dinner are more diverse and lot of selection. Beach: Two beaches - Coco beach is just too windy because it is on the Atlantic Ocean side. Mamora  [... read more]Bay is nice and there are lot of water sports to be tried. Service: Everyone at the resort is so friendly and helpful. Compared to other destinations they are not pushy with their sales, only ask once and they are not asking for tips either. We always left tips but never was expected or asked. Very humble people.

Beautiful Resort

Beautiful Resort, lovely grounds, outstanding & friendly staff. Needs an open air, central bar / entertainment area closer to lobby for people to socialize in the evening...not many using the indoor lounge. Nice to have two beaches.. one windy, one calm. Very quiet resort. Some low music on the water sport end of beach would be nice for those who enjoy it, and still leave rest of beach for those who want no noise. Some minor aggravations in food and beverage, that could easily be fixed. Not all  [... read more]bars have a blender for slushy drinks...and they need to. The beach grill has great burgers, hot dogs and fish sandwiches...but only offers a big bucket of serve yourself potato chips (crisps) as a side...no fries, no salad. The buffet is lacking in that they need a nightly carvery station, and they need to add a pasta station. This resort has the potential to be a solid 4* or better, but is being let down by the food and beverage end of things. Would recommend based on property and wonderful staff, but with a caveat regarding food.

Paradise at St James Club Antigua

It was a lovely resort with the Atlantic ocean on one side and Mamora Bay on the other side - we had a ground floor room that had a huge deck on the Atlantic side - loved being able to walk right out onto the beach and see the sunrise every morning - the resort and area is hilly understandably and for a few in our group that have some mobility issues the resort staff are able to pick you up and drop you off anywhere around the resort in their golf carts - food was fantastic (gained 6pds LOL) Ove [... read more]rall it was a wonderful time in Antigua and wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Beautiful beaches

Great to have the best of both beaches. On the ocean and on Mamora Bay. Live music every evening, missed live shows from other trips. On Mamora Bay lots of water activities to endeavour. Meals were great, including one restaurant having various theme nights.

Great Bay

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our week at St. James Club. We particularly enjoyed Mamora Bay. It was great for swimming and water sports. Warm and always very calm near the shore and only a little choppy on windy days out in the middle. The only negative to the bay was the water was not crystal clear. Not very good for snorkling. The beach had nice soft white sand. This is a fairly quiet resort. Not a lot of partygoers. No swim-up bars and foam parties. Our room was a walkout to the oce [... read more]an. Very functional, but a bit dated. There was a large gym with a lot of equipment. Very comfortable for a good workout. The 4 tennis courts looked to be in good condition. Nice size resort. Not too big to walk around. We had a 5 minute walk to the bay and the same to the main lobby. If you wanted a shuttle in a golf cart, it was readily available. There are some mid size slopes you have to navigate to walk around the resort. The food was very good. I had one of the best steaks I have had anywhere. The staff were nice people and looked after us very well. It was nice, for us, that english is the main language spoken by all staff. We did a side trip, 10 minutes by taxi, to English Harbour. Nice historical spot with lots to see.

Amazing resort

We went to celebrate our 50 th wedding anniversary. Upon arrival we found a bottle of champagne and two glasses. The room was right on the beach.! There was a little issue with the sliding door - next day fixed. The day after another bottle of champagne with an apology note from manager for the inconvenience, very much appreciated. The ground were very well kept and beautiful layed out. Beach towels were nice and large. The foods : breakfast - lunch -dinners very good and great variety [... read more]. We really enjoyed our stay !

Very safe and secure

We have now been 4 times to this resort, there was no recognition of this. There have been some updates since last there, the gym is excellent as well as some of the activities like the early morning walks. They have added some very nice bands for after dinner dancing but they end at 10pm which is a little early. The beach party was excellent.

Had a great vacation

The resort was very well laid out with as much or as little as you want to do. Food was really good and the people were extremely friendly. Snorkelling trip off the beach was well worth it for $15USD, Piccolo Mondos and the Tranquility Spa were well worth the splurge.

Great place

The St. James Club in Antigua is a great resort. Food, beach, and activities are excellent. No need to reserve umbrellas at the beach early in the morning like other all-inclusives. The only negative comment I have is that the rooms need to be upgraded...but on the positive side the beds are comfortable and the air conditioning is good. I would recommend this resort.

Beautiful Resort

We had an amazing time at this resort. The grounds are beautiful, the food was great, they had good selection in red and white wine, as well, the people there were wonderful, and very accommodating. The service was exceptional... Having access to 2 beaches was great, it's such a laid back atmosphere, not once did you feel crowded, and you didn't have to rush out early in the morning to get a nice lounge chair under a straw umbrella as there was plenty on site available. We will definitely be goi [... read more]ng back there.

Very Nice Resort

Overall the resort was very nice. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. We had a beach/ocean front room which had a great view of the ocean and steps to the beach :-). The room was clean and spacious. The beaches were beautiful. The food was fine. There was lots of variety. Quality was ok. The resort had lots of activities. We arrived on a Wednesday but didn't receive a list of all the activities until the Saturday, so we missed some activities we wished we had known about earlier.  [... read more] The pools were fine. The website advertises six pools, but unless you are in the royal suites, you actually have access to only two pools (Reef and Coco's). Two of the pools, including the waterfall pool, can be accessed only if you are in the royal suites. One of the six pools is a children's pool. Wifi was very up-and-down and since we were using it only in the common areas, was a bit frustrating. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Wonderful resort

Beautiful well kept grounds, pride is taken care throughout the property, cocoa beach was not swimmable due to high winds but pretty to look at, mamora beach was nice but water was more lake like. Service was hit and miss in the cocoa beach restaurant and rainbow restaurant. We ate mostly at the dockside restaurant where service was more friendly. Entertainment every night was very good. Rooms were nice and clean, with amazing views as we were on the beachfront.

Amazing Resort

Just got back on Oct 22 from St James Club in Antigua. What a awesome vacation. We celebrated our 35 Wedding Anniversary with friends. We stayed in beach front rooms 341. When we got to our room there was a bottle of champagne with two glass. The air conditioner was not working well. We advised front desk. The had someone come to the room to take look. He made it little cooler. The next day we got new parts and the air conditioner worked great.

Having 6 pools was also nice. You could go to different pools at anytime of the day. I loved the food always good things to eat. I would recommend this resort. I will return to St. James to see new friends that we made there.I want to say hi to Jason our taxi driver what a awesome guy. Also I want to thank Bev Johnston from tripcentral.ca she was very helpful in booking this great trip.

St James Club in Antigua

This resort is just beautiful. Two beaches to chose from. Very nice clean rooms. Food was excellent and the Staff was just fabulous. We will go back there again soon. Will recommend this resort to everyone.

Outstanding Resort

The resort seems large on the map but was a very nice size. Easy walk around area. Features two beaches which were both very different. One beach on the Atlantic was truly an ocean beach and the other on Mamora Beach side felt like a lake beach. The rooms were slightly dated but large. The food fresh and flavourful and was above average for the variety. We opted often for the buffet cause it was good. The majority of staff were friendly, accommodating and personable. We liked Priscilla, Roan and [... read more] Cordell very much.

A week well spent!

beautiful resort...beaches, rooms, food, layout excellent! the staff were incredible...never had an experience with the staff anywhere like this resort....management team always out and around the resort and helping make everyone's vacation special...we did Jeep tour and sunset cruise...both great experiences...our new favorite destination!

St. James Club: Go there. Now.

In a word, St. James Club is phenomenal. Our oceanview balcony was breathtaking, the food was creative and buffet offerings rotated in theme and variety, the beach was stunning, the staff friendly and helpful, the resort clean and spacious, the entertainment solid and interesting, the grounds well kept, the insect spraying and lack of Zika relieving, the sunrises and sunsets glorious. A few additional beach towel stations, an espresso machine, a beach bar on the ocean side (bless the golf cart d [... read more]river who brought around drinks), windsurfing permitted on the ocean side, and a touch more Calypso Jim would be my only improvement suggestions. We'd return in a heartbeat.

Phenomenal! Just Paradise!

We got married and brought a group of 64 with us to the hotel. The hotel staff were very pleasant and accommodating to our large group. The beaches and grounds were just breathtaking and gave a very different vibe than your typical resort. You did not have to reserve or fight for beach chairs - even at full occupancy! The water and beaches were gorgeous and you can snorkel right off the shore with ease!
