St. James's Club & Villas

I am returning to the St James Club for a relaxing time with a "down to earth atmosphere." Our family has always enjoyed the stay here, we mingle with the guests and appreciate the good nature of the helpful staff.. The new general manager Riian, and assit general manager Kersha are responsive and accommodating, as is the rest of the staff. We do the "all inclusive" which gives us access "on the go" to multiple restaurants. I play pickle, tennis, boating on the bay, and swim in the mulitple pools and in the ocean and go to Yoga when it is offered. I feel like I am in camp here.

Loved our stay at The All-Inclusive St. James Club & Villas, Mamora Bay, Antigua and Barbuda— Buy trip insurance. It’s a stunning resort on a private 100-acre peninsula with two white-sand beaches, excellent water sports, pickleball, tennis, four restaurants, multiple bars, spa, pools, and a welcoming Kids Club. We stayed in Room 328, Mango Building (ground floor) and loved the very spacious room and bathroom, walk-in shower, and unobstructed ocean views. Beach chaises outside our room, shaded by a palm pagoda, and attentive beach drink service made it extra special. When our king mattress sagged, the issue was promptly fixed with a replacement—great service. ⚠️ Important travel note: Buy trip insurance at the time you purchase trip to ensure pre-existing conditions are covered. U.S. Medicare and U.S. private insurance plans (including BlueCross) are not accepted internationally. When my husband broke his leg playing pickleball (on resorts modular snap together pickleball court surface also used at many Caribbean resorts for drainage), we were required to pay $950 USD upfront just to be seen by the Doctor at the only hospital in Antigua, which also lacked basic items like crutches and ice packs. Thankfully, the hotel loaned us crutches. Despite the injury, the staff’s compassion and professionalism were extraordinary, making our stay memorable. Special Recognition Management & Guest Services: • Breanne Tonge (Front Desk Agent): Checked on us daily with warmth and energy, ensured everything ran smoothly, and even found a pharmacy so we could replace the hotel’s loaner crutches, which cost $100.00 USD. • Dejani Noel (Guest Services): Infectious personality, checked in daily, and coordinated porter assistance for meals. • Breanne Tonge & Dejani Noel together: Provided truly exemplary service. • Alton Duncan (Front Office Manager): Loaned us crutches and was especially attentive. • Riaan Thiarft (General Manager): We have never met a GM who takes so much pride in his resort, always on hand greeting us guests, not afraid to pull his sleeves up and help out, well done Riaan your hard work has paid off, what a team you have—great leadership. Porters / Bellmen • Michael: Pleasant, fun, and always happy. • Clinton: Awesome, easygoing, and reliable. • Orlando: Helped us daily while my husband was on crutches—absolutely delightful. Food & Beverage • Rainbow Garden Buffet Style: The Maître d’ greeted us daily with a big smile; loved the Nova Scotia salmon and omelet station. • Docksiders Buffet Style: Outstanding themed dinners, consistently sweet, attentive staff. • Eleven: Eleven Restaurant: Rose, The Maître d’—warm and welcoming; best clam chowder ever. • Coffee Shop: Jo-Anne—pleasant and always made us feel welcome. The grounds are pristine, the service standards are high, and the staff across all departments consistently demonstrated professionalism and kindness. Thank you for an unforgettable Caribbean getaway. This truly felt like our home away from home—though next time, we’ll skip pickleball!

St James made our stay amazing. Especially Chef James and his team. They were kind, professional and very accommodating. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

My family and I were at St. James’s Club & Villas to ring in the New Year, and we honestly had the best time. From the moment we arrived, everything was so well organized and stress-free, and you could really see how much effort went into making the night special. The food deserves a special mention because it was AMAZING, so much variety, everything fresh, well prepared, and absolutely delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the entertainment was on another level and perfect for bringing in the New Year. By the time we had to leave, none of us wanted to go. Truly one of the best hotels in Antigua, and possibly even the Caribbean. We can’t wait to come back!

I had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday at the hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food was absolutely amazing. I will definitely be back
