There was Seaweed on the one of the beach,butwas not a major issue as MamoraBay was great.The non motorized watersports plenty and in a very good condition.Special metion to Riaan,Breanne,Ken,Bennet,and Shenieka.

My wife and I arrived at St. James June 6th and stayed until June 13th. The resort is very lovely, and the staff is very friendly. Mr. Riaan was always working hard to ensure things were managed well, and people like Rochell, Shaneil, and Oimar went above and beyond. Our taxi driver was Jason Norde who we used all week, 268-775-2696, and comes very highly recommended. But there in lies the problem. We had to use a taxi driver all week because the resort had a seaweed problem. It is not their fault that Mother Nature had all the seaweed come in and leave us without a beach, but the decaying weed left a horrible putrid smell. Our original room was right on this unusable beach, and St James was gracious enough to move us to another room. They also told us there was not another resort to move to which was untrue. We would have liked to have moved since we were there to celebrate my wife’s birthday and wanted to be able to use the resort as had promised us. The smell did not allow us to sit outside all week, and we had to take these excursions everyday adding a lot of cost to our trip. The resort did comp us a dinner at their finest restaurant, but this was far less than the number of monies needed to take daily taxis. To find an upside to the problem, it had forced us see the entire island and thank you to Jason who helped us book the right trips and help us see all the beauty Antigua holds. Realistically though, we would have preferred to have been given advanced knowledge of the seaweed problem, and we would have used our trip insurance to push the trip to later in the year.

We stayed here on our honeymoon for 2 weeks and were very disappointed. It is advertised as a 5 star hotel but is far from that. Staff are dismissive and slow, we had to move rooms due to the seaweed smell and alongside that our shower, hairdryer, mosquito net and tv were broken. Communication between staff members is poor as nobody is able to tell you which restaurants are open and which aren’t. It’s advertised as a buffet however that isn’t the case. Loud construction right beside the main pool for the whole 2 weeks. Glasses were dirty at the pool bar. Staff aren’t friendly and multiple occasions we had to ask for our drinks more than once. Even when you tip the service does not improve. A few days in to our trip we had $80 dollars stolen from our room, reported it to reception and filled out a complaint form to then be told 8 days later they forgot to pass the report onto security and it hadn’t been investigated. Extremely disappointing stay and would recommend going elsewhere if you are planning on visiting Antigua!

My first time to Antigua, was attending a conference. The resort is a ride from the airport to the other side of the island but you get to see lots of Antigua while getting there. The resort is very nice. An all-inclusive, you really don't have to venture off the property but that means you won't see Antigua. Several restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There's a bar with karaoke. If the guests don't want to perform, staff members did and kept us entertained. Had a very nice oceanfront room 311 in the Papaya Building and able to walk right out to the beach. Friday night is the Beach Party with many food stations, music and entertainment. A very enjoyable stay.
