Loved Every Bit Of It!!!

Great People. Clean. Beds are very comfortable and the food was the best we've ever had. Whether an A La Carte or the Buffet we didn't have one bad meal. Would go back in a heartbeat. Not close to the airport but such a scenic drive.

Great value!

Very beautiful grounds- well maintained and very clean. Food and service were very good- lots Of daytime activities and entertainment at night. Rooms were clean, well air conditioned and looked exactly as advertised. Great value for the money- wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Quaint, clean, very friendly staff, older property

Location a bit far from airport. We stayed at St James bay resort in Antigua a year before and decided to pick the same resort in St Lucia. However we found it a bit older in appearance and the beach wasnt a long walking one. The bay was great for using the catamaran . The staff were very friendly and helpful, the jeep tour was great to the falls and mud baths...take a gravel if you sit in the jeep at the back though because of the windy roads. A la cart restaurant was a big disappointment.  [... read more] All others were good and you had a choice, was pleased that with the hurricane Mathew going through that there was not a lot of damage and just rain at night. Overall a good holiday.

Beautiful, relaxing resort!

The views are spectacular, resort staffs are hospitable, drinks and food are delicious, and the atmosphere there is great. The only downside was the wait time for food at each restaurant. We went to 4 different places to eat at the resort and each place we went to on different days was the same experience with the service. There was wait time to receive menus, to order, to receive food and drinks, and even to refill water. Most times, I had to get the water myself. Overall, I think the service a [... read more]t the restaurants were unprofessional. Other than the restaurant services, the resort was pretty great. I had a wonderful time here with my girlfriend.

I wouldn't go back

The resort itself was immaculate. The room was so so. I wish there were more food options. I didn't like the fact that there are things you have to pay for on the resort that I paid an ALL INCLUSIVE price for. I went for my first wedding anniversary and got a bottle of champagne- no personal touch whatsoever! He staff need some customer service training as they weren't friendly but weren't rude either. Not one joke was made and there was Little to NO music so they would roll their eyes when you  [... read more]asked them to turn the music up!!!!! When I'm on vacation I love to hear music. The speakers were either broken or they didn't want to disturb people who were "relaxing". In my opinion if you wanna relax go to the beach or stay in your room! The ocean was murky, I only went once. The pool was much better.

St James Club Morgan Bay - our St Lucia vacation

Trip to the hotel - it took us around 90 minutes to get to the hotel; drive is rough, although you can have a glimpse of beautiful island landscapes. Take a Gravol (or 2) to be safe, I did and still felt queasy. Check-in – very fast, packages prepped for our arrival, we were greeted with cool rum punch and wet towels to freshen up. The room – comfortable, nice feeling about it, all you need is provided: comfy bed, good size washroom, and balcony. The fridge is not stocked. I requested the [... read more] room with ocean view, on 2nd floor, and that’s what I ‘ve got..:o) The grounds – simply beautiful. Get your camera ready, the colors of the landscape are unbelievable! The hotel properties are positioned on the hill, opening towards the sea. The hill top swimming pool overlooks the bay, fantastic location to relax and have a glass of rum. The beach – not as beautiful as other location we’ve been to, this is my only negative comment, as we love to snorkel. The water was too murky to see anything, however full of life, fishes are bumping into you..:o). Having said that – we always got our chairs, not issues there at all. Lots of shade if needed. Drinks available easily – you can just wave the red flag to get service. Restaurants – we tried all inclusive. We skipped Le Jardine, as the food generally was very good. We liked Bamboo a lot, pizza restaurant on the hill top is a must! Pier resto was fine, the setting simply fantastic! Buffets – I’m still trying to lose weight….ate too much, wanted to try their local food, fishes, rotis, and of course sweets. Lots of choices, nice flavours, good soups. Coffee shop – our favourite stop after each meal. We got hooked on dbl expresso…. Entertainment – good, bands, djs, Wednesday beach party was a blast. Trips – we took Joys Cruise one day trip (volcano/waterfalls/Soufriere/sugar beach snorkeling between Pitons/lunch at Joy’s house). Joy operates his business on the hotel beach. This trip is a must. I have fantastic pictures to prove it. (Thanks to TJ for making this trip even better..;o). Service – hit and miss. In general, super nice people, the only issue we had were bar servers in main bar. They basically pretend you are not there. Hill top swimming pool bar staff on the other hand is really nice – Elijah was very entertaining and shared lots of fun info about St Lucia with us. Overall – Loved the island, although we travelled in their rainy season, the weather was sooooo good – 2 min of rain, then brilliant sun – that’s why the island is so lush and colorful. Liked the hotel, I would recommend it.

Fantastic resort

The St James Club was fantastic value for the money. Me and my wife are not the all-inclusive drop and flop sit on a beach vacation type, but we needed some R and R. St James was fantastic for that. typically all inclusives don't have the best food, but St James was surprisingly good. the lunch buffet was different countries of the world every day, and rather tasty. I ate way too much. Every day. the dinners were lovely as well. The pier restaurant was great. My wife (it was actually ou [... read more]r honeymoon), wasn't feeling well one night, and the manager of the Bambou was good enough to package up the full meal from their restaurant, put it on a golf cart, and bring it back to the room for her. Also rare for an all inclusive resort - waterskiing, boat rides, were included as well. Typically that is stuff a resort charges extra for. All said and done, it was a great vacation.

Fun in the Sun

Going to keep this short- The staff here was very accommodating, very friendly, and truly were genuine in wanting to help and make your stay enjoyable. The food was incredible! The all you can eat buffet was top notch, every meal we had was very enjoyable. The best meal was the Wednesday night Beach Party! Unbelievable quality in food, service, and entertainment that night. The beach was small but comfortable size which made it feel like a private beach. It was never overcrowded and the servi [... read more]ce on the beach was impressive too. Overall loved it!

Great Resort

The resort is older, but very well maintained. The staff were great and always working hard to make sure you were happy. We stayed in an oceanview room which was very clean, bright and spacious with an amazing view. Food at the buffet was not all that great, so take advantage of your unlimited a la carte dining options as they serve good food. The beach and pool were nice with plenty of lounge chairs and shade for everyone. The water at the beach was quite murky so don't expect crystal clear blu [... read more]e water. The resort offers a lot of water sport activities that everyone is able to sign up for every morning for free. This is a quiet resort so it is great for a relaxing vacation. Overall, this is a solid resort that pleased us from the beginning to the end of our vacation.

Wonderful holiday!

We were very pleased with the entire resort. It was our first time to this island and we will certainly be coming back. The service was great, everything very clean, and the food great, particularly the pastries! We especially enjoyed relaxing in the cafe in the afternoon and listening to the live music each evening under the stars. Bravo to all the staff for going that extra step to make things comfortable and special! Must also mention that the speed boat island excursion with JOY tours was fa [... read more]ntastic. Great value for the money and the guides were loads of fun.

We'll diffinitely be giong Back!

Island is beautiful! Resort is picturesque! Personnel At the resort are the friendliest you'll meet anywhere! 5 Restaurants to handle the pickiest appetite! Lot's of amenities to keep you busy! Available tour's at reasonable prices!

Awesome All Inclusive

Resort: Rooms are not ultra modern but fresh and tropical looking. Extremely clean. Food: All restaurants had great food! The buffet is a bit smaller than some AI but could always find something to eat. Activities: Excellent water sports - staff very helpful. Have never been to a AI resort with some many water activities included.

St James Club Morgan Bay St Lucia

This is a great resort! Excellent service, very clean, nice beach, pools, grounds, bars & restaurants! The food was great for every meal! Totally satisfied ! Thank You ! What more do you want me to say?

Beautiful resort

We loved this resort... from the stunning vistas, consistently excellent food in both buffet and a la carte restaurants to all inclusive water sports, it was all top notch and definitely a resort we would like to return to! We also enjoyed a fantastic excursion on the hotel's catamaran to the Pitons and mud bath. A little piece of paradise!

Best resort hands down!

Staff was amazing. Food was exceptional. Rooms were clean. Best vacation to date. The only resort I would ever return to. It's a must for anyone that's looking to vacation in the carribean. The people make the resort!

Loved it! Can't wait to go back...

Can't say enough about the food and service! Attention to detail and prompt service are standard. Pools are great and the free water activities (paddle boards, kayaks, banana boat etc.) were great! Value for money you can't beat it... Resort is older but after

Terrific Resort

I read reviews about how willing and polite the staff were....never believed it would be so true! This is a lovely location. The views are stunning. Staff beyond accomodating. Did not want to leave! They work hard at correcting anything that folks might complain about. They, while we were there changed the dinner reservation system due to complaints and you can now book a week at a time instead of just 3 days. Our room was in the 4 hundred block and we loved the views combined with the birds sin [... read more]ging....we spent many an hour on the balconey, in bliss.

Great time at St. James Club Morgan Bay!

In 23 winters of heading south this is only the second time we've returned to a resort. Our first visit was as a couple. This time it was as a party of seven ranging in age from 9 to 79. Five top things about St. James Club Morgan Bay: 1. The food. It was a tossup between the top two. But with seven different travellers all raving about the food, it had to rank first. We ate at the buffet and all of the a la carte restaurants and were always delighted by the variety and quality of the food on [... read more] offer. It's great that they have so many authentic St. Lucian foods on the menus as well. 2. The service/staff. Virtually tied for first, would be the wonderful staff and the service they provide. Polite, friendly and fun, they all seemed to genuinely want us to enjoy our time on their island and at their resort. There are too many standout staff to even begin naming them individually. 3. The gym. Wow, what an improvement over 17 months ago. They closed it for renovations the week we first visited. The new gym is more than twice the size of the old one and shows a real commitment to helping people keep in shape during their stay. 4. Water Sports. They have invested in more new equipment since our last visit, and they still have wonderful staff who seem to want you to make the most of your stay. We enjoyed paddle boarding, catamaran trips, snorkeling and several banana boat rides. All the staff were great, but Johnny was a standout. 5. The coffee shop. Combines the great food and service all in one spot. They serve a nice selection of hot and cold beverages along with some sweet treats and a few hot ones (if they have beef patties that day try them - they're amazing!). It's a great spot to relax for a few minutes in your day. The not so good... Really the biggest complaint has to be the method for booking restaurants. You seem to need to line up for an hour at 8 in the morning if you have any hope of getting the time you want in the a la carte restaurant of your choice. I did it a couple of mornings but then gave up after that. As others were heard to say in the line "no food is worth this kind if lineup." And I agreed with them. One very tiny complaint involves the setup in one bedroom suites. If the sofa bed is pulled out, then you can't get into the fridge. If the fridge was moved to the opposite end of the commode it is in, then you could access it more easily. Overall, it was another great stay at St. James Club Morgan Bay.

Lot's to Like

Stayed for a week. Had an oceanfront room and the sunsets and the sound of the surf at night was terrific. Room was nice and clean (staff kept it that way) but the shower a little wonky. The resort was quite busy but wait times in main restaurant were reasonable. Booking the a la carte restaurants was difficult and we could not get decent reservation times. Food at all restaurants was very good. Staff was very fun and accommodating but move at a little slower Caribbean pace. Pools were great but [... read more] beach wasn't the clear blue water that we expected. Great sports and fitness facilities. Day excursion on the Calypso Cat was a highlight as was the Wednesday Beach Party (not to be missed). Ride from the airport is an adventure - best to just close your eyes. We would return to this resort.

A Little Disappointed

After a long flight and long bus ride to be greeted by a less than friendly staff member who was to check us in things didn't get off to s good start. She handed me a form to fill out requesting a credit card number be written down. First off this is the first all inclusive resort I've been to that has asked for a credit card so I was a little taken a back and for it to be written down I think not. I told them I would swipe my card and only do a 100.00 pre authorization not the $372.00 US they w [... read more]anted. We were travelling with a group of 10 and they felt the same was sufficient. Upon arriving in our room we unpacked and looked around the room. The fridge was empty no ice bucket or info on how to get your fridge stocked with water or pop. One call to the front desk told us that they don't provide any beverages in the rooms. Is that not part of all inclusive? The property is lovely but should be noted it's not for people with mobility issues there's a lot of steep walkways and stairs. The restaurant situation is interesting you have to line up at 8:00 am to choose you restaurant for 3 dinners with the exception of one the Tree Top was worth doing do for. The Morgan's Pier which was supposed to be seafood was disappointing. The Bamboo al la carte was nothing special. I didn't go on vacation to spend time lining up for dinner reservations. Getting drinks from some staff members was almost an inconvenience. I asked for a slice of lime for a Sprite and with a big bag of both limes and lemons on the bar was told he couldn't find a knife. I will give a mention that Kevin at the bar makes a great BBC so order one if you get the chance. There a few things that they could do to improve things. They should have snacks or pizza slices available during the day and something in the evening. A lot of people were looking for munchies and were forced to by things from the Gift Shop and weren't impressed.
