St. James's Club & Villas

I had an amazing mini vacation with my fiancé, from arrival to departure every moment, every plate and ALL the staff were all AMAZING! So many restaurants to choose from with all types of cuisines, such beautiful VIEWS. Our room was so clean it was spotless! What more can we ask for? Money well spent! Special Shout out to the EXCEPTIONAL staff that made our stay special: Conica & Dejani from the Front Desk, Chef Zaddy and his team especially Chef Siddy who made us a custom sauce for the Calamari 🏆❤️‼️ Servers Kema & Tryphena were also very accommodating and bubbly💗 We loved them alllll see you guys again soon, we’ll definitely have u guys host our wedding reception 🫶🏾

Loved it. Been here 4 years ago and still magic. Stayed in Royal Suites for 1 week, which have been upgraded since last visit. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the food at all the restaurants and booked the a la carte ones on arrival to avoid missing out on any availability. Lots to do and always fun and relaxed. The Friday beach party was great fun and the staff did an amazing job to make sure everyone had a good time. Can't wait to go back.

A 70th Birthday Celebration Beyond My Expectations! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 I recently celebrated my 70th Yellow Birthday Bash at St. James's Club & Villas in Antigua & Barbuda, and I can honestly say it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. From the moment my group of 17 guests arrived, we were treated like family. As we entered the lobby, "Happy Birthday" was playing throughout the area, and we were welcomed with delicious rum punch and warm Antiguan smiles. It was the perfect beginning to a truly unforgettable celebration. A special and heartfelt thank you goes to General Manager Riaan Thiart, who went far beyond what anyone would reasonably expect to ensure that every member of my group was comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout our stay. His leadership is clearly reflected throughout the resort, and his attention to detail, accessibility, and genuine concern for our experience made all the difference. The resort itself is absolutely beautiful. I chose the Royal Suite in the adults-only section and was thrilled with my decision. The suite was spacious, elegant, and thoughtfully designed, featuring modern furnishings, a king-sized bed, a sunken living room with a large sectional sofa, and more than enough space to relax and unwind. Of course, there's a large TV if you choose to catch up on the latest news or listen to great music. However, the true star of the suite was the oversized balcony. The breathtaking views made it my favorite place to start and end each day. Whether enjoying morning coffee, taking in the Mamora Bay breeze, or simply admiring the waters, it was pure paradise. The bathroom deserves special mention. It featured a luxurious double shower, dual sinks, and a wonderful soaking tub. The resort thoughtfully provides quality bath amenities, so there is no need to overpack toiletries. While I stayed in the Royal Suite, several members of my group chose the beachfront accommodations and absolutely loved them. Their rooms were spacious, beautifully appointed, and offered stunning ocean views. Guests staying on the ground level were literally steps from the sand, yet still enjoyed privacy thanks to the elevated balconies. The rooms featured large-screen televisions, ample closet and drawer space, and comfortable layouts that worked especially well for friends traveling together. Now let's talk about the food—because it deserves its own standing ovation! As someone who loves great food and travels often, I can confidently say that the dining experience at St. James's Club has to be among the best in Antigua. Every meal was exceptional. The lamb shank was tender and flavorful, the jerk chicken perfectly seasoned, the fish in foil absolutely delicious, and the calamari, chicken wings, mac and cheese, and breakfast selections were all outstanding. Executive Chef James Hibbert and his talented culinary team create exciting and memorable flavors that never disappoint. The quality, presentation, variety, and consistency of the food were remarkable. It is truly amazing the magic being worked in those kitchens every day. The Friday Night Beach Party had every meat/fish and side dish you can imagine. The amount of work that goes into setting up for this event is remarkable! What made the experience even better was the all-inclusive concept. We were able to enjoy multiple restaurants and dining venues throughout our stay without worrying about additional costs. For a foodie like me, that was heaven. If you're considering this resort, take my word for it—the food alone is worth the trip. It was simply magical. The adults-only pool and bar quickly became one of my favorite gathering spots, and the nightly live entertainment provided the perfect ending to each day. Everything at St. James Club is easily accessible by walking or calling a cart and driver to move you about the resort. Most importantly, the people are what make this resort shine. Kudos to General Manager Riaan Thiart and his exceptional team, including Askiya, the Events Coordinator Extraordinaire, who helped ensure every detail of my birthday celebration was handled flawlessly; Executive Chef James Hibbert; Omarr, Director of Food & Beverage; Ozzie, the resort's IT guru; and the entire bartending and serving staff who kept the smiles, cocktails, and excellent service flowing throughout our stay. Special thanks also go to the housekeeping staff, front desk team, maintenance department, and the wonderful ladies in the gift shop. Every person we encountered was friendly, professional, welcoming, and genuinely committed to making our vacation special. As the host of a milestone birthday celebration, nothing meant more to me than knowing that all 17 of my guests felt valued, cared for, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The feedback from my group has been overwhelmingly positive, and many are already talking about returning. What began as a milestone birthday celebration quickly evolved into an unforgettable Girlfriends Getaway with family and friends. Our group of 17 ranged in age from 37 to 77, with an average age of 55, and St. James's Club proved to be the perfect destination for everyone. Whether guests wanted to relax on the beach, enjoy the adults-only pool, indulge in exceptional dining, or simply spend quality time together, the resort offered something for every age and interest. One of the things I appreciated most was how seamlessly the resort accommodated a multi-generational group while still maintaining an atmosphere that felt relaxing, sophisticated, and fun. Watching women from different generations laugh, bond, celebrate, and create lifelong memories together was truly one of the highlights of the trip. If you are looking for a destination for a birthday celebration, family reunion, group getaway, couples retreat, or simply a Caribbean vacation, I highly recommend St. James's Club & Villas. Antigua is beautiful, but it is the people, service, accommodations, dining, and attention to detail that make this resort truly extraordinary. To Riaan and the entire St. James's Club family: thank you for helping make my 70th Birthday Bash a celebration I will cherish forever. I cannot wait to return.

I work hard, and I needed to get away from everything. I have never been more relaxed while on holiday! To wake up in such a peaceful environment was bliss. Finally peace and quiet. The room was very nice and the scenery was amazing. You really can't ask for anything more if you want to just get away from the pressure and grind of everyday life.

My family and I had a blast !! From the beautiful resort to the excellent service with staff that went above and beyond for every request we had. Truly felt like royalty. We SUPER IMPRESSED and can’t wait to be back! THANK YOU so much once again :) a memory of a lifetime.
