Secrets St.Lucia did not disappoint. Beautiful lush grounds, super clean room, restaurants which are kept open , even if it is not the vacation high season, choice of food and fine dining in the evening, easy, fast and prompt check in and out, an amazing clean beach with excellent service and calm waters if you are a beach lover, and mostly service to its best with funny staff who are doing everything in their power to make you happy, served and content. I would strongly recommend this resort, however if you have mobility issues this will not be the resort for you: the entire island sits on layers and levels and Secrets did the best possible accommodation to place villas and restaurants to everyone's reach, but there is some light climbing wherever you go and there are no elevators in the buildings.The swim up is the best choice being on the main level with or without ocean view. Another thing to mention is that you are landing in Vieux Fort on a small in reno airport which is south of the island and all resorts are located on the north western coast of the island in Castries, consequently there will be at least 1.5 hours driving to any resort. Don't be upset, it is scenic views along your drive and it is extremely safe.There are no bracelets of any kind here and no reservations for dinner a la cartes except the tapayaki counter , but they do their best to accommodate your preference.I would recommend this resort to everyone who loves a perfect beach, and top service.

The resort was clean and the rooms were nice, though the layout of the resort felt dated. We wished that there was a buffet for dinner that we could quickly grab hot food. Service at the restaurants was very slow. We often didn't leave until after 8pm, even though we started our meal at 6pm. The food quality wasn't consistent. We ate at Ocean twice. Once the food was good, the 2nd time it was not. The spa service was good but the young lady who checked us in was rude and not very knowledgeable, and because of that we were left with a credit on our account because she didn't understand how to book the services we were requesting. We missed out on our manicures because of this. The water therapy and back massage was good. #1 annoyance. Activities at Secrets catered to VERY small groups. The craft painting only has 8 people allowed to register. THAT's CRAZY. with a resort with over 500 people you only allow 8 people to an activity. Most people at the resort were nice! The beach was nice. but I wouldn't return to this resort

To book a vacation stay with Secrets St. Lucia, make sure you understand the terrain of St. Lucia and you're comfortable with the longer route from the airport to the resort. All we knew about St. Lucia was that it was perfect weather and the place was exquisite. We had an excellent driver, Akim, who navigated the winding roads expertly. It took me awhile to warm up to Secrets because of the first impressions I've had at other resorts where someone who greet you with a cold beverage and the lobby would be cool and inviting. Secrets was lacking this and it deflated me a bit, especially after a long bus ride, and a long plane ride. We were given a quick explanation of the activities and such, but what I really would've liked was an orientation on how to use the switches in my room or the shower setup. Thank goodness our room wasn't far from the action because it was hillier than expected and waiting for a golf cart to do pick up and drop off would've meant for a long wait. But, I embraced the extra exercise since I was fresh off of a hip surgery. The Entertainment Team were great for my rehab! I would give the cleaning staff some advice about cleaning out the broom or mop after each use because we had way too many hairs from other rooms or left over from the previous tenants. That made me question the cleanliness of the whole room even though it looked wonderfully presented. Our swim out pool was a great refresh after a long day. I didn't quite realize that it wasn't connected to anywhere though. In other resorts, it's part of a lazy river that takes you to a bigger pool. Again, do your research on this part. The tree leaves were also in abundance in the pool everyday. I would've enjoyed a lounger instead of 2 small chairs and a table. The curtains always got in the way too every time you went in and out of the door. Just little things but they add up over a week. We met some lovely fellow Canadians and Brits and Scots-always a good time. We went on the Joy Cruise excursion for the volcano, waterfall, and lunch and it was delightful. Terry.5 could be a bit crude and opinionated. The second day we did the sunset cruise with them and I strongly suggest you eat beforehand because it was not an actual meal for the sunset cruise. The views were wonderful though. There are 2 big pools on the resort and unless you got early and got a spot with an umbrella, you were out of luck. If the resort is reading this, I wish you would add more umbrellas so people weren't fighting over them. All of the food places were 5 star except for when the Market Cafe turns into the Seafood Grill at night. It was a big let-down. And I don't know why the chef at Le Petit is always grouchy that you come in for food. She needs to hang out with Agnes more from the Market Cafe, she was the sweetest lady making omelettes every morning! Ronnie is a wonderful singer so don't miss getting to hear him sing. And if you want great drinks service, ask for Crystal!

Please don't pay attention to the naysayers who didn't like this resort! We were glad we put our faith in the positive reviews we read! This is not a brand new resort, but it has been quite extensively updated by Hyatt since they took it over. The grounds were lovely and lush with lots of floral hedges, trees and bushes. The beach although not very wide, is well kept and not rocky! You can wander out into the water easily, and it is a fair distance before it gets deep. Almost NO sargassum, and mostly very gentle waves. There are tons of loungers at the beach, however there are not enough palapas or umbrellas to provide shade for all guests, thus the need to get up early, around 5:30am, to get your choice of location! We were in room 355, a deluxe partial ocean view king room. It was not a preferred club room which we usually do select, however once we arrived we were happy we didn't pay the extra for one as there really was not a lot of extra value with it. Our room was a bit smaller than we had expected, and the hanging closet space was very limited, but the room overall was nice and was cleaned daily with towels and water refreshed daily. The restaurants were good overall, with our favorites being Morgan's Pier where the lamb shank and the beef bourguignon were our favorites, followed by the Seaside Grill for their shrimp and steak (steaks are much thinner than Canadian cuts though!) The biggest plus at the resort was definitely the staff - can't give them enough praise for their pleasantness and helpfulness, always smiling with a hello and have a great day!

After being on a plane for over 5 hours and then a 90 minute drive to get to Secrets, we were delighted to arrive. We were greeted with a cool towel, lovely, but no offer of a drink, even water. We were then told we were Preferred Club and were instructed to follow someone…We had to go up a hill, climb a number of steps all while exhausted and carrying our carry on’s. We were brought into the lounge, told to find a seat, still not offered a drink, and were given paperwork to sign while being told at least 3 or 4 times that if we broke anything in the room we would have to pay for it…A Concierge told us we had coupons but since we were tired, we could discuss the next day. We never heard from her again? Our Butler then walked us to our room, down a hill and up a lot of stairs still dragging our carry on’s. He explained the room features very well. We had asked to be close to our friends, (at the time booking 6 months earlier) but that didn’t happen, we were two buildings down from each other.  We were told they would look into getting us closer together but it never happened. The view from our room was beautiful, but it was quite small. It was the best water temperature we’ve ever had with a swim out. Our friends were upgraded to a suite, again when asked why given we booked at the same time and paid the same $, the response was “sorry”. Getting to and from the beach can be difficult if you have mobility issues. It was very difficult to get a ride down from our room. We went to the Preferred Club one morning to request a cart and were told none were available because they were picking up luggage. Again we received the standard response of “sorry”. We tried to call the concierge as per our Butler’s instructions and couldn’t get through. Honestly, very few of the concierge were of any assistance at either the preferred club or in the lobby. The Preferred Club beach portion is very small without enough shade so we ended up on the regular beach each day. Special events during our stay blocked off the entire preferred club section and a large portion of the regular beach. Overall, the beach was well maintained and we enjoyed our days there. Our friends had to be down before 5 to secure a spot for us, if we wanted shade. The Preferred Club itself was small. The bartenders were fabulous. The food selection in the preferred club was extremely limited and not really appealing. I don’t think I would book the preferred club again if I were to go to another Secrets. It really didn’t seem to be worth the extra money overall unlike other resorts where there is a marked difference in service. The people who work in the restaurants, bars, beach staff, coffee shop, cleaners etc. were absolutely fabulous. I can’t say enough about how lovely they were. The food was good overall at all the restaurants and better quality than many of the other islands we have been to in the Caribbean. I would return to St. Lucia, and stay at a different resort.

It was our 35 wedding anniversary and we wanted to go somewhere special. We were delighted with our choice of Secrets St. Lucia. It was everything we wanted. The room was spacious with all the amenities you could want. An anniversary sash on the door along with a fruit plate, pastries and a bottle wine awaiting us inside. The Preferred upgrade was definitely worth it with excellent attentiveness from our personal concierges (Rochel and Titus) that made our stay extremely comfortable. Lots of great choices for food, fantastic dinner on the beach, choice of pools and night life if you want it. Just be prepared for lots of stairs if in the Preferred section but lots of golf cart assistance if you need it. Second to none.

Very modern facility. Had an ocean view. Large room with adjoining ensuite. Very private. Good linen..Lots of Restaurants for gone dining. Excellent poolside and evening entertainment. Very helpful staff.

The resort was nice and had great potentail however when we arrived we found out that the club was closing permenantly the day we were scheduled to leave. So many of the services, like restaurants and entertainment were not available daily as the resort had few people staying obviously due to it closing after being bought by the Secrets organisation to create a 5 star resort on the same grounds.

I will say this, when it comes to serving there clients we had no complaints because they were very efficient. But the food I would not even give it a three star. After I came home I came down with a bug (which I was told most probably came from the resort), thank god it’s closing down, I would never go back especially for the money I paid.

It was a nice quiet hotel, not to big. Staff was amazing. Looking forward to the new one, hopefully we get first dips on the place. 👍 Could improve on the entertainment Plenty of food Fantastic and relaxing

There is so much to say about this trip I took with a very good friend of mine. 1. Staff were amazing. Shout out to lady program director, Sam, Activity lady, Kenya, overall energetic and pumped enthusiast, Dexter, ladies in the buffet serving area, guys in the watersports building (Shane, Aloycia), guys in the BBQ hut serving up delicious jerk, chicken, fish, fries and salad fixings and our main man John serving up delicious cocktails always with a smile :) So many more people but I don't recall their names. Great job everyone! 2. Water sports (free): paddleboards (didn't try), kayaks (yes!), Hobie (lesson taken first @ $45 and then out on our own for free). No cost water skiing if you know how to water ski ($50 for a lesson). 3. Beach & Activities: honestly not the best water for swimming but the activities and pools make up for it. Pool and beach volleyball (go Kenya!) 4. Sunset Lounge Entertainment: Nightly entertainment including a country singer, female singer who was amazing (I said she should try out for American Idol), band singing great songs like Kool and Gang (yes!) and other reggae songs, karaoke night (this was a bit of a fail but I think they have learned from their errors now). 5. Grounds were very well kept. Those guys are out there every day in the sweltering heat picking up dead palm leaves etc! 6. Rooms. Not the most luxurious you might hope for but clean towels and sheets and our tropical view had a nice little balcony to sit out (facing some lovely trees/lawns with singing birds) and have your morning coffee. Let's face it people, I'm not there for the rooms! As long as the plumbing, showers and air conditioning work well and rooms have coffee maker, kettle and mini fridge and they are neat and tidy, I'm fine with it! And these rooms had those. 7. Excursions: we took a catarman trip to the Pitons which included food, drinks (beer & rum), mud bath, snorkeling, waterfall and educational volcano tour (choice of tour or mud bath, not both). $138 US Took a local bus ($1 US or 2.5 EC) to Rodney Bay then hopped on a water Taxi with Quincy to be dropped off at Pigeon Island. He picked up when we asked. It cost $10 US each way and $10 US to enter the park. Have a beer just outside of the park gates for less than inside the park. Guinness Smooth and Mackeson is what I had (the bottles are smaller than ours so I had one of each!) 8. Food! Before going to the resort I was a little worried about always having to go to the buffet so we made some reservations at the a la cart restaurants on our 2nd day. I don't think they have enough staff to have all of the restaurants open at the same time so each one had their specific days. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the food in every restaurant except for one night at the Pier. The second time we ate there, though, it was delicious. We had mahi mahi over this tasty buttery slaw or sauerkraut with rice/lentils. And, the buffet, had wonderful variety and some at home favourites like oatmeal, cream of wheat. There was an omelette station, a smoothie bar, huge wok of bacon, sausage, peppers and onions, smoked salmon, cooked salmon, cold meats, blue cheese + others, pineapple, local fruits and THE BEST BANANAS! These items mentioned were just the breakfast items! Plus I am not listing everything as I would be typing much longer. 9. Wonderful frozen cocktails: Bob Marley (rum tri coloured frozen strawberry, pineapple and pineapple mixed with Blue Caracao to make the green on top!), BBC (banana, Bailey's and Coconut Rum), frozen mango + others. 10. Tennis courts and pickleball! Our main gal, Giselle, was amazing. She not only gave lessons in the early morning for tennis or pickleball, but she also was there later serving behind the bar until 11pm and serving and collecting glasses on the beach in the afternoon. Some of these people just never stop! Giselle, Sam, Kenya and Dexter seemed to always be around day and night! Hint: The fitness room (which has a lot of good equipment) has the best water refill station.

This was our first trip to St. Lucia and the St. James club. Overall we had a great time. It is quite far from the airport so was about a 90 minute drive after a fairly long flight. You need to hire a driver or go by bus as the roads are very winding. The food was good and the staff work really hard to please the guests. The property is beautiful and we had a beach view room that was close to both the pools and beach. The Joy boat cruise was the highlight of the trip and well worth the money. The property is a little dated but is scheduled for renovation with new owners. The restaurants are good and are all open air except for La Jardin. The hotel was only 45% capacity so was pretty quiet in the evenings and very low key entertainment with single performers. For those who like to stay up later visit the Red Door bar. Great service from Harold. Overall good holiday for our first post pandemic trip.

The destination is absolutely beautiful. Location of the StJames Bay Club is very good. Our Oceanview room had a direct view of the resort and the ocean.The bed was comfortable.The resort needs to upgrade. The resort was not super busy and had a laid back vibe.Most of the staff was friendly but there were some who were quiet rude. Food was average.A'la carte was better.Most restaurants were closed which was disappointing. All the water sports were included which was nice. It seems that they need to train the staff more. They should have some drinks and water available in the in room fridge.Ours was empty and to buy a crate of water was expensive.Overall we enjoyed the trip but for the amount of money we spent the resort left a lot to be desired.

The location, staff and services were fantastic. Because of COVID, there was still reduced staff and capacity, but on the flipside, the resort was more quiet and felt more intimate. Plenty of room at the beach and pool, no wait for water sports, and generally a choice of times for dinner reservations if you made your reservations when it became available. As soon as we arrived, someone offered us drinks and check-in was a breeze. Paul drove us to our room and helped with bags and the manager called within 10 minutes to make sure everything was ok. A dinner reservation had been made for us already because we arrived late afternoon. The concierge, Calixta, was SUPER helpful - the orientation with her was also helpful. Every staff member was friendly - from the servers to the pool staff in the early morning to the water sport staff. St. Lucia in general, but the resort particularly was very COVID cautious - which we really appreciated. Masks were required to be seated for all meals and to serve yourself at the buffet, and each person was requested to use hand sanitizer upon entering the food areas. All staff wore masks indoors. If you didn't have your mask, you were instructed to go back and get it! The water sport staff were great. I tried water skiing... unsuccessfully... they were patient and helpful. When a young girl tried, they were so great with her and all cheered when she got herself up and on her skis. They seemed to really enjoy themselves and enjoyed interacting with clients. Lots of things to do on the resort and if you just want to chill and relax - lots of opportunity to do that too! Food: breakfast was awesome. Lunch was ok. Dinner depended on the evening, how busy it was and which restaurant was open. Always had options and always at least "ok". Le Jardin is excellent and worth the extra $. I would imagine when they go back to normal staff numbers that the food/options would improve. Would really recommend doing the Joy boat tour - so easy and such a fantastic day!!! Overall, I tend to not repeat locations for holidays... I would go back to St. Lucia in a heartbeat, and would likely go back to this resort.

March 10 2020 Dear Carole Williams/Tripcentral I am writing to you to express thanks from our group of 3, for your professional help in planning our trip to St-Lucia / St-James Club Resort in early March 2020. Maybe the best advice was to book our daughter on the bigger plane for her connection Ottawa to Toronto as it was the very last to depart since all others were cancelled due to upcoming nasty weather. The next morning we left together for St-Lucia without problems. The Tripcentral gift card to pay for the park & fly hotel was greatly appreciated. The shuttle to our hotel was a windy hilly one hour drive which enabled us to see the island. The resort itself was very upscale and the staff was very friendly and genuine. The food was excellent specially the buffet with breakfast smoothies and so many fresh fruit choices and custom omelettes. The 3 restaurants were very good with some hit and miss menu choices but the resort did many extras for my wife’s birthday on their own, including a room cake delivery, the best table at the end of the wharf and more. The beverages we had were fresh and tasty and the local rum was excellent and not watered down like many resorts. Our room was adequate with many steps. There is a newer section of rooms on the hilltop side. We enjoyed the Gros Piton and Pigeon island hike and snorkelling and visiting Castries, the latter ones on our own by taxi. We participated in sailing, kayak, paddle board, stretch and aquafit classes, peloton bikes, the music shows, the beach festival all included in our package. We did not wait in line for these or food services. We paid extra for spa treatments and a scenic helicopter ride back to the airport which was very picturesque. Even if resort vacations are not always our first choice when travelling, this was one of the best considering the beauty, the cleanliness, the services, the food, the staff and the people of St-Lucia. We enjoyed this vacation very much Carole and your advice, information and booking choices is certainly a big part of it. Thank you: Claudette, Christine, Richard Sudbury & Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

St. James Club Morgan Bay was an excellent resort! It was very clean. The rooms are a bit dated but were sparkling clean, the bed linens and towels always smelled fresh. The public bathrooms were always clean. Never had a dirty bathroom. The food was really good and I am pretty picky about food. Always many choices. The buffet had a different theme everyday for lunch and dinner and the a la cartes were all good. Great hamburgers at the beach grill and the Plum Tree restaurant for lunch. The layout of the resort is great. Everything was only a few steps away. You could go from beach to pool in a few steps. Staff was very friendly. The sunset from the hill top adult pool was breathtaking! Another bonus was the water sports at no charge. Catamaran sailing, banana boat, water skiing, peddle boat. Nice bonus. Around the back of the sunset lounge was another lounge with red doors. It was open from 6:00 pm until 2:00 am and they served premium alcohol and some nights had some entertainment. Nice lounge! Great place to meet up for drinks before dinner and after 11:00 pm when the nightly entertainment was over. The evening entertainment were all musical acts which were very good. Fun for dancing and the Wednesday night beach barbecue was great and fun. Not to be missed! I will definitely return to St James club Morgan Bay. The only downfall was the drive from airport. It’s about 1 1/2 hour by bus, but this would not stop me from returning. Loved the resort. Had a great time!

Great resort offering many water activities, great evening entertainment. Rooms are spacious bright and airy. Good dining opportunities. Great views with a fabulous sandy beach. Not recommended for anyone with mobility issues.

Wonderful resort. I loved all the activities available, fitness classes, peloton bikes, catamaran, paddle boards etc. The food was very good although the portions at the restaurants were too large and led to much food waste. The smoothie bar in the morning at the buffet was a nice special touch. The staff was friendly and always smiling and willing to help. The weather was perfect. The resort is clean and well maintained. I couldn't imagine a better place for a break from our hash Canadian winters.

The grounds on this resort are a plush green and kept very well. The food was very good and a fairly wide variety. The service was friendly with very few exceptions.The night life is pretty low key except for the Beach Party which the staff take alot of pride in. The rooms are a bit outdated but kept very clean.

I recently visited St James Club Morgan Bay and was delighted with my experience. The food was always fresh and delicious, with a variety of different items daily, definitely Some of best food I have had at a resort. Service was fantastic staff were always helpful and friendly. The beds were very comfortable and water pressure was good and always hot. One of the most outstanding different experiences I had was the ease of access to all amenities, towels, beach chairs were available with no rushing to find a place on the beach. The beach is a little smaller that I typically prefer for walking but they definitely made up for it with water sports very well organized, this was the first time I truly got to enjoy the water sports on vacation without a lot of pre planning, simply pick a time in the morning of any equipment you wanted to use that day. I was able to use one or more items daily. Staff were able to adapt quickly with changing weather moving an out door shown inside quickly when it rained. This resort is on the smaller side but did not lack anything. Worth checking out great place to relax.

We certainly enjoyed our time at the resort in St. Lucia! Relaxed atmosphere, sun, beaches and lovely people. A wonderful experience overall. We were a group of eight and never had a problem getting space for all of to stay together for meals, beach, pool areas.

We loved our time at St James ......room location was perfect for our older parents to get around and still be part of the fun. Food and restaurants were very accommodating for special meal request and times of dinner arrangements. The activities staff kept us very active and smiling!

The hotel has very clean rooms with nice decor. The food was delicious. Ate at all restaurants. I really liked the Bamboo Restaurant especially the early morning breakfast. Enjoyed the beautiful beach and sunsets. I would recommend this resort and visit again.

Tucked away gem of a resort with excellent staff, great food. Great beach party on Wednesday. Met lots of people also visiting from Ontario whom which we shared lots of laughs and great conversation. Grounds , beach and pool are well kept and clean

I give it a 10 plus. Great hotel staff and everything about it. A little older crowd,not a lot at night. Hotel has everything. Wonderful Spa and children’s own pool and area for parents. Not many kids when we were there.

This hotel deserves a 10 +. I sold it years ago and everyone loved it. This year when I saw 4 star I thought it might be tired and run down. No no, all upgraded. I’ve stayed at sanders. This is better without the price tag. All water sports included, even water skiing.

St. James Club Morgan Bay was fairly typical as far as island resorts go. Where they did stand out was the service. Staff couldn't have done more for us. Genuine, pleasant and attentive from check-in to check-out. Food was very good and plentiful with a wide variety to satisfy our tastes and restrictions. Rooms were cleaned and supplied daily. Sandy beach had plenty of loungers whether you wanted sun or shade. Grounds were well maintained and clean. It would be a little challenging if you have mobility issues that there are a lot of stairs /ramps. The island is awesome scenic and historical. St. James Club is a short local bus ride south to the capital for shopping and north for adventure. Plenty of land and water tours showcasing the island's beauty and welcoming locals. Overall, St. Lucia is definitely a destination and St. James Club Morgan Bay is a decent host.

St James Club Morgan Bay is a beautiful resort with excellent food, wonderful staff and its a nice small sized resort that takes only 5 minutes to get from one end to the other. The beach is a bit small - hard to take a long walk - but the sand and water are beautiful, clean and clear. The grounds and rooms were clean and the pools and activities were excellent. We loved the free use of water sport equipment - particularly the Hobie Cat lessons that allowed us to use them on our own once we were comfortable. The Wednesday night beach dinner/party was like being at Marti-gras! A wonderful week - we wished we'd stayed longer.

Food was very good, not a huge selection but delicious. Mixed drinks were always good, make sure you get one of Vanessa's specials at the swim up bar. The entertainment and entertainment staff were the best we have experienced, it was always singers but they did a variety of music from Bruno Mars to Bob Marley. The rooms are a bit dated but very clean. I was really surprised water skiing and the banana boat were included, but we were also disappointed that the rooms were not stocked with drinks other than the 2 complimentary bottles of water and a small bottle of rum. There is this beautiful spot of the hill that overlooks the sea, it has a pool and a bar and one of the best places to enjoy the sunset. I would definitely go back to this resort.

Just returned from a great vacation at St James Club Morgan Bay. A great resort that I would recommend to anyone. Food was great! We ate at the specialty restaurants most nights and only ate at the buffet one evening. Service was great. A special shout out to Sharma! Your friendly smile and your love of life was a pleasure to see. Keep up the great work. You made us smile everyday

Great resort, friendly people working at the resort (not the front desk supervisors spoke to 3 and they all seemed a bit arrogant)good food lots of activities Only bad thing we can say that our room didn't get serviced once. Coming back from an excursion and having to call the front desk 3 times for clean towels We got none of our requests which was a little disappointing especially since the resort was only at 80% capacity and last they started construction right in front of our room the last day we were at the resort.

St James Club presents itself as a 4 star resort which is very accurate. The rooms are clean with all the space that you need, but not over the top. The food is good at all restaurants, and great at some. Our favourites were Bamboo for breakfast & dinner, the Beach BBQ & Plum tree grill for lunch and Le Jardin for dinner. What really makes this resort stand out is the staff. From the servers to the bartenders and the maintenance staff to the activities and water sport staff, everyone goes out of there way to say hello and help you with water ever you need. Some of the standouts were Jayden, Vince, Shane, Dexter and all of the staff at Le Jardin. Several reviews complain about no bottled water and Wifi in the rooms, however we found this to be a nice change. There are ample spots to fill up water bottles and the tap water is safe to drink. In addition, less screen time on vacation at a beautiful spot was a positive. The islands itself is beautiful and we enjoyed our day trip to Pigeon Island and hike to the top of Gros Piton. All the tour guides, taxi drives and locals we met off the resort were extremely nice as well. We cannot wait to go back!!!

Staff were friendly and quite helpful. Beautiful grounds, nice pools and beach is close to resort. All inclusive is not quite true as wifi is extra in rooms and didn’t work well. Bar fridges are not included as part of the all inclusive. They will stock the fridges with what you ask for them if you use it you have to pay. Room service food is also not included, it’s extra. Overall a pleasant experience with great food and programs.

The resort was beautiful. Lush and green. Most of the service staff were happy to help you. The room was well laid out. There was adequate space to store your things. The buffets had many choices you could always find something good to eat. The owl carts were kind of hit and miss. Beast was not of good quality. But the chicken and the seafood were fantastic. Best restaurant was the Tree Top Pizza. I still dream of how good it was. Layout of the resort was good with easy access to all areas. The only downside that applies to the entire resort was there we're always stairs into restaurants in to the buffet into the lobby. If you have someone with mobility issues this may not be the resort for them.

This resort was lovely. There were many options on the buffet. The alicart restaurants were very good as well. Really enjoyed the cafe it was a wonderful addition. The pools and the beach were clean. The staff was helpful.

The things we liked about the resort were the smaller size, private beach and constant breeze. The bed was the most comfortable one we have ever had at a resort. The things we didn’t like were the long drive from airport to resort (1.5-2hrs) We found the food to be disappointing with selection and quality. The main thing that was an issue for us was that this resort is NOT accessible. Lobby and all restaurants had steps and NO ramps. I had to get all my husbands meals for him as he could not get to the buffet due to being non accessible. We would rate this resort at a 6 out of 10.

The resort exceeded our expectations. The grounds,beach and rooms were outstanding. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic. Lots of variety We will be going back again next year.

Overall I was very happy with this resort. The rooms were clean and the most of the staff were very nice. The beach was always raked in the morning and had plenty of chairs. The resort was not that busy when we were there so I’m not sure how crazy it would be when the resort was full. The drinks were slightly disappointing and I am not a big drinker however the drink of the day was the same all week and there was no menu to advertise their special drinks..... the restaurants were good however make sure you do your reservations for the whole week. We wanted to do the pizza place on the Saturday and it was closed but she never suggested anywhere else and come Saturday the palms restaurant(only non reservation) wasn’t open and we had no reservation for anywhere else...the front desk got us in at the pier restaurant right away. If you are a coffee or tea drinker get your morning drink at the cafe that opens at 6:30am as the water is hot...at most the water for your coffee or teas in the palms restaurant is tepid at best.....Pool area is great and and water sports were fun and plentiful...staff friendly......I like the fact it’s smaller and everything is walkable without have to travel for miles from front lobby to beach......overall a very nice resort and would go back again.....

This was our second vacation at St. James Club Morgan Bay and it didn't disappoint in any way. Our room was 10 ft. off the shore with a gorgeous water view, the restaurants were amazing, the water activities great for our kids, and staff as always warm and inviting. We put lots of effort pre-travel into making sure our vacation accommodations and the amenities offered will meet our expectations, and again this location exceeded our wants and needs. It is highly likely that we will return to St. James Club, and definitely its sister resorts. Debbie McGuire at Tripcentral is our perfect vacation planner!

St. James Club is a great place to be for both couples or families with children. The grounds are well kept, the rooms and public facilities are clean. The staff is professional and always ready to please. There is plenty of food to choose from in many restaurants, with or without reservation. The buffet restaurant is fantastic and offers many choices and different cuisine every day without reservations. Rooms are clean, spacious with all the comfort expected. Pools and beach area are always clean, easily accessible. Simply a great place to stay.

There are so many wonderful things about this resort that I would like to mention. Rooms....I have to say that the beds were the MOST comfortable beds I have slept on in a long time. I have a bad back and never had any problems with my back at all, the entire week I was there. Housekeeping was very good, always making sure to replace things that we used (coffee, tissues, etc). You do get 2 small bottles of water in your room on the first day, but we brought refillable stainless steel bottles for our water, and were able to fill our bottles at many locations around the resort. Food...I have to say that the food was absolutely delicious at the Palms (buffet) restaurant. I enjoyed the many different themed lunches and dinners. We ate dinner at Tree Top once, which was so good and filling...did not have room for dessert LOL. We also had dinner at the Pier on our last night. It was just ok....I think I would have preferred the Palms buffet (I heard I missed an amazing Seafood themed night...darn). Grounds....The grounds are very well kept and clean. There are a lot of steps and hills here, but that was just fine....made having that little extra at dinner even more worth it. If you have mobility issues, there are plenty of golf carts to take you around to where you would like to be. The beach was nice. Lots of activity with the water sports that are available for free. I've never been on a resort where you got to have Banana Boat rides for free. They even offer water skiing for free. I had never been before so they had me take a beginner lesson first (I was happy that they were concerned about our safety first). Once they were satisfied that I knew what I was doing, they let me go and try....happy to say that I got up on my first try LOL (although I was quite nervous). They also give Hobi Cat (small catamaran) lessons and once they see you can handle it, they let you take them out without a guide. Fun!! There were plenty of beach loungers, so we never had a problem finding a couple with an umbrella (yes, you want an umbrella as that sun gets really hot LOL). The pool had plenty of activity but I have to confess, I didn't even dip my foot is since the beach is not even 100 feet away. I love the beach!! The resort is not large, but not too small either. Personally, it was the perfect size :) STAFF....Amazing!!!! Everyone was very nice and so helpful, whenever we had questions or needed anything. I have to give a special shout out to the bar staff at Sunset Lounge - Kevin, Germain, Craig, were the BEST bartenders I have seen. They rocked that bar. We had rain on Wednesday so the weekly Beach BBQ entertainment was moved to the Sunset Lounge, bringing everyone from the resort to this one location. These guys were mobbed with people wanting drinks, for hours, and they never missed a beat. My friend and I were once bartenders and were quite impressed with how quickly they were serving everyone (making blender drinks, pouring beers, making special cocktails etc). Overall, this resort, and the people that work hard every day to make it what it is, was GREAT!!! I am hoping to return again!!

This resort is amazing (starting with the greeting in the lobby from Nathan), and I really can't say enough about it, other than we can't wait to go back! The resort was beautiful! We went during the "rainy" season, and it didn't even phase us. The rain lasted a few minutes, and then it was gone for hours or the rest of the day. The facilities, rooms (with AC and balconies), amenities, and grounds were always clean and tidy, and you could ask anyone for assistance at anytime. It is a mountainous island, so there are some uphill paths, mostly to the rooms, but there are carts and drivers that can take you back and forth upon request if needed. Service was beyond amazing; even a drink on the beach didn't take long to get! The staff were always professional, friendly, helpful, and so nice to have a conversation with at any time. Saint Lucia is just filled with beautiful people! Shout out to Craig at the bar for a great time! The amenities and activities were vast as well, for adults and kids. There were always a few staff members around to help coordinate games or to even participate with you! Shout out to Lay for getting the dancing started at night! Kids had their own play area and even a shallow pool area with slides, but it was just as comfortable for adults with food (including ice-cream cones), washrooms, great views, and a bar too. The food was excellent and lots of things to choose from for any food pallet! The main restaurant, the Palms, was never disappointing. The birds also provided some entertainment while eating. Another popular dining spot on the resort was Treetops. Le Jardin is a extra cost, but the food was delicious and totally worth it. The other two restaurants on the resort, Morgan's Pier and Bambou, were OK, but we would choose the other three over them. The beach was lovely as well, but a small rocks in spots, so watch where you step. Lots of sailing equipment, paddle boats, paddle boards, water skiing, jet ski rentals ($60US/30mins). There is an adult only pool at the top of the cliff with a fully stocked bar and breath-taking views of the entire bay. For pure relaxation, the spa was very peaceful and the massages and facials started our vacation off just right! I would totally recommend booking the Joy Cruise down by the beach. It is an absolute blast! Shout out to JJ and Joy!! Bring an old bathing suit and swim socks if you do go!

This resort was one of the better ones I've been to! The scenery was absolutely beautiful , the rooms were clean and food amazing! The staff was very helpful and friendly! I was especially happy with all the water sports offered to the guests that were included in the price! Would go back in a heartbeat!

We absolutely loved this resort and would recommend it to anyone. The staff were friendly, courteous and just lovely. All accommodations were perfect, would have been nice though to have ceiling fans In The rooms. The only suggestion would be to have grab bars in the tub/shower area for some of us who require them for extra balance getting in and out of the tub. All the dining areas and food was exceptional. The grounds beautiful and so well kept as were the pool, and bar areas. With teenagers with us, there was more than enough to keep them busy. I hope there will be an opportunity for us to go back in the future.

Spent a week at St James Club. Everything was great: the rooms large and comfortable, the grounds beautiful and very well maintained, the food excellent. The staff is very friendly and attentive. St Lucia is beautiful and there are a few worthwhile excursions to make. Night entertainment and the channel TV lineup are limited.

Rooms were well placed, every room had a view and most of the ocean! Clean rooms, well appointed. Facilities were great and had everything you needed. Most water sports were included which was awesome

The food was excellent every day. Loved the layout. Beach could be longer with more area for swimming. Unfortunately there is the seaweed. Enjoyed the Hilltop bar and swimming pool as well as the two other pools.

Our week at the St James Club, St Lucia was very nice. Hotel was clean, food was fantastic, staff very friendly. Beach was SoSo, not very big. We did find a cockroach in our room, must have been brought in by the cleaning staff. Things to be aware of are; the hotel requires you to give a credit card deposit of $350.00 USD in case your Travel Company doesn't pay them, we still don't know if the deposit has been returned to us, there are no beverages provided in your room (no water, no pop, no beer). I rate this resort 4 star, could be 4.5 with a few added amenities.

We came to the St James Club with our 16-month-old and 2 1/2-year-old for March Break. I would definitely recommend the hotel to other young families. FOOD: Some of the best all-inclusive food I've had. Lots of variety with the buffet, and plenty of other options to try. If your kids are picky, there might be a meal or two where they are harder to please from the buffet, and sometimes slower service at the restaurants made the 6pm dinner tricky, but that's part of the challenge of toddler travel. It's also tricky to get a healthy afternoon snack (so we usually grabbed bananas from the breakfast buffet). FUN: The kiddie pool wasn't fancy but it was perfect for toddlers. The beach was also great, with gentle waves, no seaweed, and soft sand (not much visibility though). There was also a fantastic playground and even an indoor play-place. We didn't take the organized tours (which were all quite expensive and too long for little ones) but rented a car for two days and explored. ROOMS: We had a 1-bedroom ocean view suite. It was clean and comfortable with a great balcony overlooking the ocean. It was also at the top of a BIG hill. It worked off every dessert, but if you aren't fit, you'll need to get around by calling for a golf cart if you stay on the hill (which I would find less convenient). It was also on the opposite hill of the kid pool, which made that a big trek (so lots of carrying). Our room was in the 1000's; I think 800 and below are on the other side. We also brought a portable noise machine which is a must for kids -- loud music was on from 9-11 most nights and we wouldn't have gotten them to sleep without it. I also appreciated that the TV had English kid's cartoons at all times, for those few minutes we needed to keep a little one occupied or escape the heat. ATMOSPHERE: The staff were AMAZING -- incredibly friendly and professional. There was a mix of guests, from young couples to old couples to families.There are two adult pools which I think helped to avoid a "drunk party everywhere" vibe that I've found at other resorts with a mixed crowd.

The grounds of this resort were very lush & tropical & were well maintained! Staff are very friendly! Buffet restaurants were ok nothing over the top. A la carte restaurants were very good especially Morgan’s Pier!

The St. James resort on Morgan Bay was a top notch resort. Rooms were clean and spacious, the view was incredible and food was above average. However, most important was the attitude, friendliness and generosity of spirit of the staff that work there. This is one of the few groups that could make a 20 minute bus breakdown thoroughly enjoyable. We were three adults and 2 children and I was very impressed that my 11 year old and 3 year old granddaughters were treated to the same attention and respect as the adults. All in all a fantastic vacation

The hotel grounds are beautiful, the staff are friendly and helpful, all of that made for an amazing 2 weeks of vacation. Our ocean view room, 729 was right on the beach, incredible views of the hotel pools and palms right in front of our balcony. I wasn’t too sure when I booked, it said rooms were air conditioned, but the restaurants weren’t other than the extra charge le Jardin. As long as you aren’t in the sun, it’s like the whole place was air conditioned, always a nice breeze, never hot and humid. Every morning we ate breakfast at Bamboo, we were outdoors, only a few meters from the beach and the gentle waves breaking, it was a really good buffet and a better choice than in The Palms, the indoor buffet. Being a picky eater, I didn’t have a lot of choices in the evening at Morgan’s Pier or Bamboo, but I didn't lose any weight so I guess I did ok. I could go on about what a great time we had, but I think I have said enough. This was the first time we have used Tripcentral, but from now on they are our travel agency.

Great place to stay, clean and refreshing Review of St. James's Club Morgan Bay Reviewed yesterday Just returned from a week at this lovely resort. A few things, first off if you want a resort for peace, quiet and not doing much this would be the place for you. I loved the rooms, the resort was clean, looked after, up to date and by the way have the european plugs which I neglected to check out before going. Wasn't too much of a problem every room did have one as I call them normal plugs behind the dresser and at the lobby in one corner by the front entrance. This resort has a lot of big hills and if you can't do hills there are golf carts to take you there, you just have to go to the front desk to get the rides. We only ventured to one restaurant and it was the one at the pier that did the seafood dinner. The food was touch and go, if you are a person with allergies or do not like spice, then you might want to consider elsewhere, there was very little items at this resort that was not loaded with some kind of spice. Please keep in mind I do not like even pepper as it plays havoc on my stomach, but the spice is strong, even when they said there was no spices, they were loaded with spices, but I managed and my husband of course was in his glory. Rooms were always clean and taken care of everyday. Nothing missed, great service in that area. I did notice that most of the staff at the resort were not your overly friendly type. They would not speak to you unless you greeted them first. Like I said if you want a lot of peace and quiet greet resort. The entertainment during the daytime, was non existent. They gave us a page front and back with days listed and events by the time yet, not once other than water aerobics was there anyone there doing anything the whole day. Some people got together to play water volleyball but that was it. The nighttime lacked great entertainment, one night was karaoke, another night a jazz band, Wednesday they have there normal beach party. We usually went to bed earlier so if there was great entertainment we missed it. I am used to seeing dancers, and comedies and different entertainment, was quite surprised a lovely resort like that would lack this. This resort has sailboats, skiing, skidoos, and small trips around available. Lots of free beach items to get involved in. I would definitely return, knowing what i know now, I would prepare for better food choices and take some stuff with me. There were places we didn't know about until almost check out, taking a little longer to let everyone know the areas were things can be gotten would be great. Found out the day I was leaving across from the lobby on the hill was pizza place where you could make your own pizza, I could of eaten there a few times had I known it existed. Still would return though, beautiful property, but very small beach area. Oh one last thing, if you want a beach chair get up and on the beach by 7.30 at the latest, chairs go fast and even though the no towel on the chairs savings, every morning they are everywhere. enjoy!

A truly welcoming, well appointed resort/club which caters to the old and young in every sense of the word...in the traditional sense where expectation from guest are attended to the fullest. Staff is outstanding in the service they provide from the front desk to the gardener..always cheerful, welcoming each and every guest, gentle and proud. One can truly relax, feel safe and at ease. Rooms are very well appointed, clean and fully maintained. Food, either at the main dining area or the number of specialy restaurants to the special coffee/pastry bar throughout the facility,.. is superior to culinary expectations! Being in many vacation places, this is the first when I actually saw food being checked with a thermometer...! Activities within are great where guest are happy to be and take part or simply to enjoy. Numerous trips outside are arranged to provide the best for guests... We took the Land and Sea tour of this beautiful island...from the lush rainforest to the Pitons, banana plantations, tropical gardens to the vulcanic mud-bath at Souffrier, then an exciting return trip studded with an awsome sunset to Morgan Bay on a large catamaran—-life was GOOD! In summation...our vacation was beyond our expectation, worth every bit, and MUCH MORE!

The room, grounds, facilities and staff were fantastic for the duration of our stay. After talking to a few other guests, some of whom had been there several times over the years, the St. James Club Morgan Bay offers the best value for the money spent of any resort on the island. The food was always fresh, tasty and with a wide variety with absolutely no crowding. The location was very central, half-way between Castries and Rodney Bay, making a trip into either very easy ($1 U.S. for a bus ride to the markets). The only downside was that the refrigerator in the only came with 2 small bottles of water and were not refilled each day. The upside - the tap water was as good as or better than the bottled stuff. The variety of complimentary water sports equipment was awesome and the gym was fully functional and not some after-thought as with most resorts. In the future I would definitely be looking to go back to the same resort.

Beautiful and lush grounds. Friendly and helpful staff. The food options and water sports were great for the kids. An older crowd and smaller beach then we are used to in Cuba but no complaints. Excursions were pricey though.

This resort gives you value at a reasonable cost. The services were excellent and the staff outstanding, always smiling, friendly and helpful. The dining offered good selection in a variety of restaurants. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Daily activities were available in at least one of three pools and on the beach.

The staff from the restaurants including the cooks were extremely friendly & professional. The food is good. Other than that the management from the employees at the front desk whom great you to the Mrs in charge of taking your restaurant reservations at the lobby were all extremely rude and not courteous. You do not get greeted and you get rude responses from the staff at the lobby including the manager of the ressort. When you inform them that you wish to terminate the rest of your stay they will try to impose a surcharge and keep you hostage at their resort and discourage you from leaving. Plus, they will charge you for incoming and outgoing calls even if they are local calls from st-Lucia! They do not tell you this upon your arrival n’or is this written anywhere. The beach area water is muggy and there is never sufficient towels. We had to pull our own long chair from the surplus area and wash them on the beach while the staff just stare and laughed at us. There Is no Wi-Fi in the rooms none anywhere else on this resort. If lucky you can get a connection time to time when at the lobby but it’s not reliable. If on business this is not the resort to go since there is no wi-fi. AVOID at all cost Air Canada package to this resort. The rep Christine from Air Canada doesn’t have the customers interest at heart. They care only about making a quick buck on the tourist. Make sure about the Time your shuttle arrives to take you back to the airport, we were never advise of the time change and nearly missed our shuttle. Sherman never confirm or informed us of the time switch.

Reception was unfriendly and we were suprised that we were required to put up a 300 dollar deposit. We loved that water skiing; sail boat lessons and banana boat rides wre included. We liked the local flavour of the resort. Staff was helpful with navigating the island by bus. Loved the bartender during happy hour at the hill top pool. She was energetic and enthusiastic. We loved the cafe. Room was clean and quiet and we were provided with sheets after we asked for them. It would have been nice to have the fridge in the room stocked with plantane chips and drinks like other resorts. We had a real shotage of face cloths.

Hotel over all was nice, grounds were well kept and it was always very clean. The beach was amazing and the hilltop pool made for some gorgeous views. The staff weren’t all as friendly as we would have hoped. They closed one al la carts each night of the week which was annoying... not sure if it was because it’s off season or not. The plum restaurant was great for lunches, sitting down and ordering off of a menu is more my style rather than buffet. This was an extremely relaxing vacation. If you’re looking to relax this is a great place, if you’re looking for nightlife look else where. They do small shows (a small band or karaoke) but nothing too exciting. This is not a resort where you feel you need to dress up for dinner, so if casual is your thing this would be a great place to go. Food was pretty good! My boyfriend and I are vegetarian/vegan and were able to work with the chefs to make our meals meet our needs. Though they did tell us (on our very last night) that they have vegetarian menus for all the restaurants you just need to tell them up front, which we had no idea about!

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, average at best. Great location to the capital, Castries, only EC$1.75 by bus, less than US $1. Would return in a heartbeat!

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 water 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!

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.

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!! :)

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-great 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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 hotdog 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.

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 water 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.

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 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.

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.

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 return.

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 friendly 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.

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 available 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.

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. Overall had a good time but would only rate it a 3 star.

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.

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 hill. Loved it - we will return to St. Lucia - is is a beautiful island!!!

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, therefore, 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!!

Very nice hotel, extrely clean. very good and plenty of food, great Cafe. Wonderful staff. Clean country, lots to see and do both at hotel and excursions. Very well organized excursions. Lovely gardens.

This is a 5 star resort. Very beautiful and clean. The rooms are lovely and beds are super comfortable. The food is excellent - not a huge buffet - but always fresh and very tasty the Restaurants are great with excellent sunset views. Wednesday Beach party is amazing. Very nice resort !!!

Nice Resort,good food,staff hit or miss, long hilly and twisty ride,small beach, rooms clean and comfortable, good nightly entertainment,not enough bartenders,Sunwing/Nexus rep a joke. Leaving hotel a nightmare not well planned, luggage arrived late to airport and Nexus rep left us to fend for ourselves.Our Tripcentral rep Debbie Maguire was awesome.

It is an amazing place for couples as well as for families. My husband and I enjoyed very much every corner of the resort: our room, the restaurants, the ones you have to reserve and the ones with buffet, the swimming pools, the gym, the tennis court, the beach and the hall where the entertainment was. Every place was extremely clean. The people working there were very friendly and their service was fabulous. We loved the place. It was very relaxing. We found two inconveniences though, we found it very unusual to find the little fridge in our room empty…. not even a bottle of water. When we mentioned it at the reception desk, we were told it was the policy of the hotel. When we bought gifts at the gift shop and paid with American dollars they gave us change in local currency. When we complained, they told us it was the bank policy. But when we went to the capital, Castries, and bought gifts there and paid with American money they gave us change in American dollars. We do not understand this difference in policy.

Saint Lucia is a beautiful place to visit but st. James Morgan Bay resort was very disappointing. It's an all inclusive resort however they give you a fridge in your room but have nothing in it. If you want to fill it they charge you extra ( even water). The majority of the staff was terrible. You have to wait to be seated at the restaurants (even the buffet) and they serve you drinks but you have to wait forever for anything. You can ask for a drink and by the time you finish your meal you might get your drink and the worst part is they won't let you get up to get your own drink! I would have been happy to grab myself a soda but they just say to ask your waiter and won't give you anything from the restaurant bar. Ordering at the bar outside the restaurant can take a long time too. They stop serving all food by 10pm and the bars close at 12am so if you like to stay up late then there are problems. Or even if you want a snack when you've been drinking by the bar. I really don't have much to say that is nice about this resort. I heard people rave about the food before I booked this and the food was terrible ( except the food you had to pay extra for). There entertainment was just some people singing on a small stage; nothing entertaining about it. The beach party on Wednesday was the best part however they didn't have enough seats for everyone and it was the only place open to eat that night. Also we spent 2-3 hours that night deal with our door locked that randomly stopped working. The whole door lock had to be replaced. While I did enjoy the excursions and seeing the island, I absolutely hated this resort and would never go back. Spend the extra money and go to a sandals or something better.

While we had a wonderful time at the resort and exploring the beautiful sites of St. Lucia, we did find the resort staff less than accommodating and expected more pleasant and supportive demeanour. Trip Central staff however was the best and will use them again.

This resort keeps the comfort of its guests in mind and has lots of nice touches. Things I loved: -no wristbands -no towel cards -ice cream truck roaming the resort -local carribean food always available -food and drinks always available -entertainment every night, no audience participation required! -the beach party was fabulous, the food was great and the restaurants were open for seating so we didn't have to eat in the sand

This was the nicest all-inclusive resort that we have stayed in. Beautiful grounds and gardens, immaculately maintained and very clean. The food and service was excellent with 6 restaurants and 4 pools. The beach is beautiful soft white sand and great for swimming. The only downside was that you couldn't walk very far on the beach. I would highly recommend it.

Our group of 13 adults loved the resort. We've been travelling to the caribbean for decades and this is the first time we have ever returned to the same resort... we were that impressed the first time, and we will likely return again. The rooms are clean, beds are extremely comfy (not the hard mattresses you typically see down south), grounds are well kept, and the beach is amazing with plenty of loungers in the shade and the sun. The food is incredible with 4 ala cartes and 1 buffet. Even the buffet had delicious and different items each day. Don't miss the Plum Tree for lunch off the menu. Not too big and not to small, the night life shuts down at midnight which was OK by us. They had a good mix of entertainment, and the Wednesday night Beach Party was a wonderful surprise from the last time we stayed here. We took the Joy's Adventure Tour (sign up by the sports hut on the beach) agin this year and it was even better than the last time. The only complaint I have is that we should have stayed longer than 7 days.

St. Lucia is a beautiful place to visit and I would highly recommend it! The resort was very nice as well as most of the people! If you want a tour, go through Joy and ask for Von! It's an amazing experience! There isn't much nightlife on the resort but we did our own thing!

Weather was great. The food was the best, the everyday smorg was very good and the elicart's were fantastic. The rooms were very clean. The staff from the grounds keepers to front desk very friendly and help full. The nightly entertainment was good and the beach party was great. We went on a boat tour with Joy's tours had a great time. You will not be disappointed going there. My wife and I will definitely go back again.

Just returned home from a great 7 day vacation at St.James Club Morgan Bay. I have been on many trips in the Caribbean, and St.James Club had the best food and variety of food that I have experienced to date. Quite a drive from airport 1 hour and 20 minutes. Delicious drinks, try a BBC, or Mango daiquiri, etc.... The room was very nice, well cleaned, nice air conditioning. The grounds were beautifully kept. There were flowers everywhere. We saw a lot of hummingbirds and butterflies. There were very good with fogging to help prevent the spead of Zika, and they posted in many places the dates and times. Great cafe, we visited that many times. The view from the hilltop pool was spectacular. Plenty of lounge chairs everywhere. Nice beach, clean sand. Staff were very friendly, with the exception of the very first person that we met at the check in desk, he commented that we were butting in line, when they had 2 people at the desk and we were the next people, we were tired from traveling and were not familiar with there procedure, which seemed to be slightly disorganized. Truthfully everything was wonderful not many children, more middle aged crowd. Entertainment, wasn't the strongest point for St.James Club. They did have various activities such as pool aerobics, and salsa lessons etc. Courtesy carts available as there are many levels and hills on the property. Nice tennis courts, gym room, kids club, pretty much anything you need. The gift shop was a little pricey, but alcohol for duty free was reasonable. Wifi available in lobby and bar area. Very short rainfalls everyday, perhaps 3-5 minutes long. A nice variety of off site activities to select from. Visit the Pitons they are spectacular. Overall, a very nice relaxing vacation and many wonderful photos to remember it by. A true 4 star for sure.

Carol Williams from Trip Central was very helpful and informative😊. Thank you! Resort and rooms were meticulous. Management was very accommodating by relocating us from the hilltop room to a oceanfront due to my wife's mobility issues. Very friendly staff and always smiling😊.Food generally too spicy for us (good authentic variety) but we didn't starve. Unfortunately, you couldn't get anything to eat after 10:30. Drinks were abundant. The only issue with drinks, as a Canadian, would have appreciated rye whiskey, especially when the resort was at least 60% Canadian. Beach was very small and no place to snorkel, until you went on the catameran. The non-motorized water-sports were free (banana boat, sailing, kayaking, water skiing, paddle board).

We stayed at St. James Club Morgan's Bay from Jan. 19-26 in a One Bedroom Ocean Suite. I did extensive research prior to choosing this resort and my vacation met my expectations completely, perhaps even exceeding them in some areas. Grounds were beautiful and well kept. The room: Perfect! Exactly what I expected. I did ask for a high floor and we were on ground, but the view was still picture perfect so maybe it was a blessing in disguise. Note there is a mini fridge but they are not stocked so we went to the supermarket prior to checking in and purchased our bottled water and other drinks to have on hand. True there is a walk down/up a hill, but we quite enjoyed the stroll to & from our suite to be honest. WiFi available in our suite but at a cost. We did not purchase as it is available for free in the lobby. The food: Perfect! Simply delicious. We enjoyed Palms, Bambou, Morgan's Pier, Treetops, and Plum Tree. All excellent quality food and great service. We did not dine at Le Jardin only because we enjoyed the others so much decided not to pay the surcharge ($35 per person). Never felt obligated to tip. The drinks: Perfect! And great service. Quick and never felt obligated to tip. They also have a flag service for on the beach which is a definite plus. The beach: Never had any issue finding loungers. The only downside, if you will, is the water is a bit murky and stepping through some seaweed getting in. Also there are nipping little fish that bite you. We only discovered this, on our last day but to be honest it was kind of amusing after a few drinks. Pool: We are beach people so did not use the pools. The main pool looked clean and inviting with a pool bar. They also had a smaller adults only pool and bar area that was quite inviting. The hotel has a ton of included watersports. We did not partake but saw many people enjoying the facilities -- windsurfing, water skiing, paddle boats, kayaks. We are snorkelers and have gear, but did not attempt off the beach snorkelling here. Don't see how you could see anything in this water. We did the sunset cruise on the hotels Calypso Cat catamaran -- again fantastic experience. I would rate this resort overall 9/10.

This is a beautiful resort, well maintained and very clean. The resort is large and despite where your room is located there is always a pool close by. That being said - Theresa runs a great bar at the Hilltop! The resort also offers a separate pool for families with children away from the main pools which is nice. The only thing this resort could use is more up beat entertainment at night. Thank you to all the staff at St.James Club -Morgan Bay, especially Nathan & Marcia from reception ! A big thank you to Wendy from tripcentral.ca for another great trip! 😊

St James club Morgan Bay St Lucia was an amazing resort . The staff were wonderful and always ready to help . The rooms were very clean as well were the grounds . There wasn't a very large beach but was clean and the water was worm and that's all that matters . The food was good . The al la carte were ok except for the Morgan Pier . That was very good . The only thing I thought that should have been was a stocked room fridge with at least a couple of beers . You could order drinks from housekeeping but you had to pay for it . All and all it was wonderful

We booked a 7-day all-inclusive package to St. James Club in St. Lucia. It is a very beautiful resort built on hills by sea so we can enjoy beach, sea, as well as tropical plants and hills. The services provided by the resort were not just good, but should be recognized as excellent. The staff are all friendly and helpful. They let travelers like us to feel like in home. The resort provided many interesting activities, some of them, such as sailing, water ski, were not easily found, or participated without fees, from other resorts/hotels. This is the best resort/hotel among those I stayed in recent years.

The hotel and the country were beautiful but unfortunately the people and the service were the worst I had experienced in the Caribbean. Management dealt with my concerns very professionally where very accommodating but it's disappointing as I have never had to address something like this on vacation in over 100 trips.

Had to upgrade to a Deluxe Oceanview upon arrival to have something decent. The Beachfront view I was originally in had tile flaking, bathroom was tiny, air conditional was broken, balcony was tiny and it was generally poor quality. Deluxe Oceanview was pretty good once we upgraded. Food was average.. Pool was nice but overall resort was a solid C all around.

We had the pleasure of staying at the St. James Club, Morgan Bay from October 20 to October 30 this year, and we both say that without a doubt it is the finest, most comfortable and professionally operated resort we have ever visited. The entire staff from the pool cleaners to the restaurant staff to the front desk staff to the crew on their catamaran, the Calypso Cat were all genuinely friendly helpful and fun. We have been doing the Caribbean vacations for more than 25 years and this one was by far the best so far. The food in all of the venues was simply excellent. The buffet restaurant offered a different menu each day for both lunch and dinner as well as a great selection for breakfast. The three a la carte restaurants, the Pier, Bambu and Hilltop were great and the high end le Jardin is as fine dining should be. The resort has its own catamaran, the Calypso Cat, and they offer several different day trips (at added cost) that are excellent. We took the trip down the West shore to so some snorkelling and see the Pitons and had a great time. Very professional and fun crew. We also did a day trip with Joy Tours, an independent operator who works from the water sports area of the beach. Joy runs a great operation. His crew is great and because the boat is a bit smaller than the Calypso Cat (there were 15 of us on our trip) it can get closer to shore, in fact we actually went through the 'cave' that is in the first 'Pirates Of The Caribbean', then to the mud baths, volcano, his house for a wonderful lunch and then to a snorkel site at the foot of the Pitons. We can't say enough good things about St. Lucia and the St. James Club Morgan Bay in particular. This was our first stay here but it certainly will not be our last visit. We will be back!
