Great Resort

Formerly Almond Beach Morgan Bay, so it's aged but very well kept. Currently having a paint lob in a few areas. Grounds well kept, staff very friendly, sports equipment no charge, gym, tennis courts and facilities easily accessible. Food tasty, great choices, everything but lobster and turkey. Abundance of fresh fruits, ice cream, smoothies, local wines, rum and alcohol beverages. Tipping goes a far way and it's not expected.there is nightly entertainment but nothing to write home about, aver [... read more]age at best. Great location to the capital, Castries, only EC$1.75 by bus, less than US $1. Would return in a heartbeat!

Wonderful break!

We loved St.James Club. It suited us perfectly, it is just the right size but offers many options for bars and dining, you could eat at open-to-the-air restaurants overlooking the beach for almost every meal. The sunsets up at the Hilltop bar and afternoon tea at the Hot Choc café were big hits. We loved the chef's efforts to showcase St.Lucian and Caribbean food at every meal, overall we thought the food was excellent. The staff were very polite, professional & friendly. Enjoyed the wa [... read more]ter sports and the huge Beach BBQ on Wednesday evening was great fun with all sorts of entertainment and great food choices. Our ocean view room was fine with wonderful views over the resort and surrounding hilly countryside and coast. Would have liked to have bottled water provided for the bedroom, as the water from the tap was sometimes cloudy and unpleasant. We would love to go again!

Beautiful Resort

Exceptionally clean and the food is amazing. The beach and pool area were beautiful as well. The a la carte restaurants were very delicious especially the pizza one. The sunset at Morgans was gorgeous.

Best Vacation!!!!

St. James Club Morgan Bay was AMAZING!!!!!! The grounds were beautiful, rooms were nice, and all of the staff were incredible! The food was great and there were a lot of options. Adults only pool was awesome and had an unbelievable view! I would highly recommend this resort!! :)

Great Resort, Beautiful surroundings

The resort, while a tad dated (style/quality of the finishings), was beautifully nestled along the rolling hills of St. Lucia. The service was fantastic (all waiters/waitresses at the plum/peir/bamboo/palms/tree-tops restaurants and bars) as everyone was helpful and quick; Sherman at Morgan's pier was the nicest waiter we've ever had. The food was delicious! Tree tops pizza-amazing, Bamboo breakfast buffet-best view and very tasty (makes for a great sunset spot as well at 6:30), the Plum-gr [... read more]eat taste of home for lunch, The cafe-delicious coffee and relaxing atmosphere anytime of day (6am-11pm). Every restaurant is open air and had birds flying around, it is a bit unsettling at first but don't leave your food unattended and they'll respect your space. The amenities were nice, not fantastic but not dreadful either. You're paying for the view, every single one of them is beautiful. The rooms could use some up keeping, I found the bathrooms very dreary. Tip on rooms, I was in an ocean view suite in block 10-3rd floor, while the view was great blocks 11/12 would have been nicer views. Bring a travel water bottle (at least one per person), it was a lifesaver as they only serve water in tiny cups and you only get 2, 250ml water bottles on your first day. The resort should stock the minibar, at least once. Also, we had a balcony but rarely used it because room service wasn't free. If room service was free for even just breakfast (even basic things like coffee/muffins/bagels/fruit) I would have enjoyed the room more. The beach was very nice/wide and the water was great. I would have enjoyed more/earlier (11am) beach volleyball. The pools were nice, I only used the adults only and it was beautiful! Definitely a great spot for the late afternoon. The bars were great (knowledgeable, fast, strong drinks), and beach service was very quick. Bring gravol for the trip from & to the airport, 90% of our taxi was complaining of nausea/dizziness-took a gravol and didn't feel a thing. Go to the washroom before the taxi, it's a long drive. All of the water is potable, the fruit is all safe. The walks are long and very hilly, but you're on vacation and can take them slowly! Would definitely recommend.

Amazing Resort!!

This was a really nice resort, Staff were amazing and so nice, always ready to help. All the restaurants were great, really enjoyed the Tree Top and Plum tree. Rooms were clean and spacious, maid service was awesome! This is the only all inclusive that I've been to that did not fill your mini fridge with water, pop and beer. I thought this was going to be and issue but it really wasn't, I would how ever bring a water bottle or bubba mug so you can fill these up yourself in the main bar. The [... read more] only disappointment I had was the beach is man made and small, you really couldn't go for long walks. Also the water is not the clear blue that you usually see down south. Other than that it really is a lovey resort and I would go back again.

Beautiful place to stay

This was my second time staying here and it was great! The staff are so friendly and the food was amazing.There is a beach BBQ on Wednesday night with the tables set up on the beach,really well done with a great variety of food.I will certainly go back.

Very nice resort!

Not just the staff, but the guests made this a great vacation. Most people were happy and friendly. We were in room 730 and loved it - listening to the ocean every night was awesome. Room was too hot, but we should have mentioned it and had it fixed, it's just that so many complained of being hot at night that we just thought every room was like ours, but on way home other guests said they had had their air conditioning fixed. Best food was at kiddie pool. Drinks were great everywhere even  [... read more]Cab Sav, but they ran out of it... It had great entertainment day and night - haven't danced that much in years. Joy trip was worth the money. If they say it's a deal that day then sign up that day, you get to pick a future date when available. It's a beautiful country. Don't begrudge the 1.5 hr van drive. The ferns in the rainforest were breathtaking.

Great Value for Money

We had a very pleasant family vacation in lovely surroundings. The staff were so friendly & excellent service. Different restaurants to cater for different tastes. Fun beach activities & classes. Wifi in the lobby could be better which made checking in & ordering Westjet food in advance not possible so food on Westjet was very poor as we were on the back of the plane. In house excursions were cheapest & the Soulfiere Sail & Glide a great trip with lots to do.

Unforgettable Experience

This resort is absolutely amazing. The grounds are impeccable,.. beautifully maintained. Small beach but fabulous! About 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hrs drive from the Airport, but well worth it. Sit back and enjoy the mountainous terrain, and see the unbelievable homes built into the hillside. The pools are all inviting, for different reasons (Main Pool with the swim-up bar and lots of 'people watching'; Hill-top pool with unbelievable views; and the family/kiddie pool where one can enjoy a hamburger or hotd [... read more]og too). The staff at this resort are the best of anywhere we've ever stayed. They are genuinely friendly; well-groomed and very service-oriented. There seems to be an array of age groups.... the 55+ represented about 1/2 of the patrons during our stay and the 30+ the other 1/2. The food is good (we especially enjoyed the Hilltop Pizza & Pasta restaurant). We ordered a cab on 3 different occasions, to visit Rodney Bay and Castries.... (ask for Smith or Robert - wonderful men, and good drivers). The wait was less than 5 minutes each time. We would recommend this resort highly. For anyone with doubts.... it's definitely among the finest @ St. Lucia. A sincere thank you to all the Staff who absolutely helped make our stay an unforgettable experience.

Nice Place

St James Club Morgan Bay was very nice. The resort was spotless, the rooms large, the staff in the restaurants were friendly. The food was average. The beach is small but clean the water at the beach is not clear and blue like you expect in the Caribbean. The rooms have a small fridge but are not stocked with anything. Bottled water in your room is an upcharge (Yes, at an all inclusive, WATER is an upcharge). I understand not everyone wants water, but if its requested for heavens sake supply w [... read more]ater at NO CHARGE. Also the French restaurant is an upcharge of $35. U.S. per person. Personally, I resent having to pay extra for food at an all inclusive.

Would return but resort needs some love

Resort was small - which made things simple. Everyone was friendly (staff and those visiting). Not much to do in the evenings. Beach was a SOLID 3 - water was not clear but it was a little cove so that was nice. Pools - again solid 3, they seemed a bit cloudy. Room... hmmm... a 2.5. We didn't upgrade our room so we had a very basic room. Three times we had to catch a flying cockroach lol but other than that I guess it was ok. Food - five, we loved it. Drinks - we're basic rum drinkers so nothing [... read more] to complain about there. They had a little café which was nice. Overall, we would go back. If you're looking for night life... this is not your spot unless you hook up with a local you take you around at night.

Wonderful staff very nice resort

One of the nicest team of staff we have ever had at a resort. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Resort is very pretty with great gardens, and beautiful sunsets. It does require lots of walking as its is spread out, but this was a good thing when you eat and drink too much, at least you can wear off the additional calories.

First resort we've returned to

We love this resort, and were thrilled to find out they didn't get too much damage in the hurricanes. Theresa at the adult pool is hilarious and made most of our days. Rooms are clean and comfortable, restaurants have great food. The buffet isn't huge but food was good and service fantastic. I did want to adopt a server from the buffet, Marie is adorable and helpful with our pepper dilemma. I highly recommend the Joy tours offered on the beach, well worth the money. We're planning to re [... read more]turn.

Beautiful Location

Although a long drive to get to the hotel from the airport (>1 hr.) it was worth the drive. The hotel has a great location nestled in the hills with lots of trees and a beautiful beach. The room we stayed in was overlooking the beach and had a very nice view. The food at all the different restaurants was very good and a great variety. Property was clean and well maintained. Be aware that there is a lot of uphill walking to your room from the beach/pool areas. The staff were generally frien [... read more]dly with a few that didn't seem to be enjoying their job. At times the service was very slow both at the restaurants and bars. One major complaint is the WiFi availability. There is no in room internet access and only a few public areas in the resort that you can access WiFi which means it get’s overloaded and is very very slow when you do access it. This makes it very difficult for travellers to keep involved with business responsibilities while on vacation.

Everything we hoped for....and more!

We had a fantastic stay at the St James' Club. It was a bit of a drive from the airport, over an hour, but I feel it gave us a greater sense of the Island as a whole. We participated in several of the resorts excursions, which gave us an even greater sense of the 'true' St. Lucia. Everywhere was a bit of a drive, so if you're prone to motion sickness take Gravol as you may need it on the windy roads. The resort itself was just what we'd hoped: Clean, well maintained, and always staff availabl [... read more]e to help. There were lots of options for quiet space if you wished: The Choc Bay Cafe was a great gettaway, and they made a great Cafe au Lait, and Irish Coffee. There was a quieter pool hidden away behind the tennis courts with a fantastic restaurant (Plum Tree) which was like a hidden gem. I felt it had the best food of all the restaurants. The nightly entertainment was a fun option, but went on a bit too late for us. Our days were full and we never stayed up past 10 any night. The entertainment went on until 11:00. A bit late for families. The staff was extremely helpful and was always there to help. I would definitely recommend it to friends with children. My son, 9, did not participate in the Kids Club, but guests who used it spoke very highly of it.

Nice resort

The resort itself is very nice, be prepared to walk up inclines and steps. The entertainment is minimal they shut it down by 11pm and bars by 12pm. The beach party is great but shut down at 11 just when everyone is having fun. The restaurants are good except didn't like The Palms for buffet. The rooms are spacious and very nice. Only 1/3 of the staff was friendly they could work on that. Main pools where nice and clean the infinity pool was nice but too many steps and incline to get to it. Overa [... read more]ll had a good time but would only rate it a 3 star.

Great Resort Experience

This was our first time at this resort and we had a great time. We stayed in the building beside the adult pool/bar, our room was wonderful and the view was spectacular. The food was outstanding and there was a lot of selection. The resort staff were very good and helpful. They worked with my husband who surprised me with a wedding vow renewal ceremony that was wonderful. It was very tasteful and suited us perfectly. Our stay was a delight and we will certainly come back.

Excellent resort - we will definitely return!!!

A great couple resort. Excellent food, accommodation and staff. Very clean and spacious rooms - loved the suite and ocean view. All water sports are included - we loved water skiing, the banana boat, sailing and paddle boarding. Beach party was exceptional!!! We had a very relaxing week around the pool and beach. Hanging out at the infinity pool watching the sunset was a hi light. If you have bad knees or stroller, request a lower room as there is an incline to the suites on top of the hil [... read more]l. Loved it - we will return to St. Lucia - is is a beautiful island!!!

Caribbean Gem!

Overall this resort is a quaint little gem! The size of the resort, pools, beach and buffets are all on the small side, however, everything was so well done. There was less selection on the buffet, but the food was excellent and tasty. The restaurant foods were delicious! The water was potable which made the fresh salads edible and they were so good. The sunsets from the Bamboo Restaurant were amazing! The rooms were clean with very comfortable mattresses. Fridge is not stocked, therefo [... read more]re, you must purchase any drinks from the shop for your room. Be sure to bring running shoes if you wish to go to the well-equipped gym facility as they are required. Be sure to take in all the fun activities like the Aqua Aerobics, Calypso Cat excursions (with Captain Dan), and all the free water sports. All the staff were so fun and helpful (Jordan, Gavy to name a few). Easy to obtain information and taxis from the Concierge desk. We would highly recommend the helicopter transfer to and from the airport as the road trip is very long and windy. It is a slightly older crowd and the entertainment at the Sunset Lounge shuts down around 11pm, which was fine by us. Lovely resort -- welcoming island -- met some wonderful new friends and hope to return some day soon!!
