St. James's Club & Villas

Honest Review, The Good and not so Good. Not so Good - These are really minor things. - A bit dated in places, in our room the Mosquito door didn't fully close and opening the balcony door was a nightmare due to age and rust. The hotel has been there a long time so we expected a few things not to be perfect. - The sea at the main beach isn't that clear when you get a few feet out due to seaweed so we stayed around the Pool area most of our stay - The dockside restaurant wasn't open as it was being refurb so limited on where to eat but updates need to happen so not a biggy. - Wifi was a bit slow but wasn't there to do any work so again, not a biggy. The Good - The team at the Hotel are amazing from the Management, Entertainment, Gardeners, Restaurant team , Cleaners and Bar staff are the best. Massive call out to Cressida at the Reef Deck bar, you are a credit to the team. And McKell in Entertainment, never ending energy and Elvis in the Jacaranda Bar, great guy. - The food - We stuck to mainly the buffet and really enjoyed it. The hotel was almost empty as Sept is their quiet month but we a good variety of food and they mixed it up to be tale service a few nights which was also good quality. - The grounds are kept really well and the team work constantly to keep it that way. - Friday night beach BBQ was one of the best nights we had. - The drinks, were varied from Local beer to branded spirits, all was available as part of the all inclusive. - The coffee and ice-cream huts are excellent and a must try and again part of the all inclusive. - Rooms a cleaned daily and always fresh towels. Would we return? For the value for money, I'd say yes we'd definately return

This was our 3rd time to Antiqua and first time at St James. Beautiful hotel and location. We stayed for 2 weeks in Royal Suite room 206. Room was lovely, stunning view from balcony. All the staff were so lovely and friendly. Food was good especially in the COCO restaurant. We did 2 excursions this time, Tori Ann booked us on the Pink Panther tour with the lovely Trish. We have been on this tour before. Trish took us on a different tour this time, through the rainforest which was stunning, we then went to our favourite places, English harbour, Shirley Heights and Pigeon Point beach. 2nd excursion to Stingray city, amazing swimming and holding Sting rays in the wild and then Laviscount island to see the giant tortoise's and rescued Macaws etc. Sugar the bald eyed Macaw was adorable. Riaan, Dickson, Minx, Vincent, Omar, Elvys, Tori Ann and all the staff ( sorry cannot remember everyones names) thankyou for a wonderful stay and for our wedding anniversary gift in our room. We will return Sep 2027. Room 206 please lol. Kirsty and Darren Gittins.

We enjoyed our stay at the Resort and the variety it offers, from a warm Reception, accommodation ,perfect food and pool activities.Most of the staffs are quite friendly and helpful, although i had a few less positive remarks. A special shout- out to Dickson for his professional service and positive energy we saw him speaking with guests at Cocos,Piccolo Mondo and Rainbow Garden.When we actully spoke with him,his passion for hospitality was really amazing.He is a real team player to the resort . Thanks Dickson and the team for making our holiday Amazing during our stay.

Yet another wonderful stay at st James. Everything about this place is a 100% Right from the moment you arrive you receive the most warm welcome. The staff are amazing, so friendly and helpful, going out of their way to ensure your stay is the best ever. the site beautiful, rooms superb. Food is excellent with plenty of choice, and every taste catered for. Cocktails are a must, with the bar staff making them amazing. If you are looking for the best holiday ever I really would recommend this. I have been going for years and it has never disappointed.

We have just arrived back after 2 weeks at this hotel and I have to be honest this has been a totally fantastic stay. We have travelled to numerous Caribbean islands / hotels and also stayed at other Elite hotels in the past, but this hotel beats them hands down by far. From arriving the Royal Suite was exceptional to the food been amazing. Other than the weather the best thing about this hotel are the staff, they are so warm and welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us, especially at meal times, Dickson, the Food and Beverage Assistant Manager from day one was friendly, helpful and very welcoming, always had time for us and he is a great asset to his team and also Dianna one of the waitresses who again was very friendly, made us welcome and always had time for a chat. The GM Riaan, is a credit to the Elite group, all staff have respect for him and this shows from the cleaning, maintenance, food & bar staff, which In turn gives a fantastic guest experience. We have been to Antigua many times and never experienced such a friendly team in a hotel, we will definitely be back next year. Here we have nothing to fault, all we can say is good things about the resort! Thank you all once again for such a great holiday, it was such a shame to come home!
