St. James's Club & Villas

This was our 2nd stay at St. James Club and we will hopefully be returning next year. We stayed in a 2-bedroom villa on the Mamora Bay village side and it was lovely. This large but quiet resort has everything you need for a relaxing vacation in a beautiful setting (sport facilities, great gym, water activities, wonderful spa). We did not participate in the all inclusive plan, as we prefer to make our own meals in our villa and explore the local restaurants nearby in English Harbor for some of our meals. As we are tennis enthusiasts, we quickly fell in love with the tennis facilities during our last stay several years ago; our joy for the amazing setting was surpassed only by the experience we had with the on-site tennis pro, Bennett. He was our main reason for returning to St. James Club this year. If you are a tennis player or avid tennis fan/enthusiast, I highly recommend you book a stay at this resort. Of all tennis pros we have hit with in the past 5 years, Bennett has--by far-- surpassed the experience and skills of all of those other tennis pros combined. To say that we have had a priceless and invaluable tennis experience with Bennett at St. James is a gross understatement. And he certainly has a following of dedicated regular tennis players that return time and time again to St. James to hit with him and learn from him. We hope to return next year to hit with him and enjoy the serene setting on Mamora Bay that St. James Club offers to it's guests! Highly recommend!

Title Return visit: Still great...even better We returned to this beautiful resort for the 12th time. Various small changes everywhere and the grounds very well kept. The staff looks happy and obviously enjoy what they do. We stayed in the Premium rooms. The rooms are spacious, clean and everything works. Special mention to Sandra, Diana, Riaan, Chris, Alton and Judy. Keep up the good work. See you in November!

Just back from a break at this resort. The beautiful sandy beach in the bay was excellent for swimming . The Atlantic side of the resort had obvious issues with sea weed but there was plenty of room on the bay side beach and loads of sun loungers. At the start of the holiday we had an issue with lack of hot water in our room but this was dealt with superbly by Kersha (duty manager) who moved us (with an amazing upgrade!) late one evening under her personal supervision. FOOD Breakfast was superb with huge variety of foods - special mention to the omelette makers! Lunch we took at the Beach Grill and must be said the burgers were about the best we have ever tasted anywhere. Dinner varied at the Docksider restaurant with different themes daily. Normally a carved meat of some sort. On the Friday night the beach party was amazing - such a variety of food served with a large number of tables and chairs placed on the beach specifically for the evening. The coffee shop was a really nice area to chill out under the trees and open late. A most enjoyable stay that could have been a bit of an issue but for the marvellous Kirsha - whom made a point of staying in touch with us throughout our stay. As they say - problems/issues arise but it is how you deal with them that is them is the most important. Will definitely look to return .

As a returning guest, the experience was nothing short of outstanding. I have been spending special occasions at the resort for over a decade and consider it home away from home. Thanks for the extras afforded me to ensure I was most comfortable. I truly appreciated the gestures.

Title: Great staff and tons of fun We stayed at SJC at the end of February. It was our first visit and we were not sure what to expect. The resort is on 108 acres of land and surrounded by two beaches. The Atlantic side was windy and not as calm as the Mamora Bay. Mamora Bay is very pretty and has all the watrrsports activities right there. It ranged from watrr hammocks, kayacks, hobie cats, catamarans and body boards. Ken manages the water sports and very helpful. The food quality was very good. You have 5 restaurants to choose from and a flavor for everyone. The staff was definitely the highlight of our stay. They werr friendly, attentive and hard working. Nia, Alton, Riaan, Omar, Ken, Chris, Wilson were just a few. They obviously love what they do. A return visit is a must. The Premium Junior suite (180) was perfect for us as it had great views and space
