St. James's Club & Villas

This is a hotel (in my opinion) past its sell by date. The rooms, although spacious, are sad and in dire need of renovation. The bathrooms are depressing and the shower is antiquated plus there is zero warm water early in the morning. This is an important factor for guests who have been travelling for many hours. On many occasions we had to phone for room service as it was none existence till late in the afternoon and towels were in short supply. On one occasion we had to go to the gym to acquire towels. Totally unacceptable. ! The restaurants are less than average, dirty menus, tepid food and a lack of pleasant service. Chairs in all restaurants are too low for the tables. The only way to acquire a warm breakfast is to queue for eggs. The equipment in the games area is filthy. Whilst there are two beaches, one of them is unusable due to large volumes of seaweed piling up on the shoreline. Staff work constantly to remove this but are fighting a losing battle. I don’t believe that the grounds are sprayed. I was covered in mosquito bites on my first evening despite using a repellent. I noticed that many guests were also suffering from bites. The gardens are well kept which is a major achievement due to the constant very high wind levels. We complained whilst we were there but the ‘treats’ offered by recompense in no way reflect the shortcomings of this hotel. It was too windy to enjoy the sailing and tennis activities available. Go elsewhere.

À great place to disconnect and reconnect

We spent a wonderful week at St. James’s Club & Villas, a well-known all-inclusive beach resort on the island of Antigua and Barbuda. The resort is located on a private peninsula on the southeastern coast of Antigua. We enjoyed the hospitality of the entire team. The general manager, Mr. Riaan is very kind. Go did several activities such us snorkeling, kayaking and fishing. We definitely recommend it!!

We returned at the end of February after a fabulous week at the St. James Club. I travelled with my 2 granddaughters ages 15 and 9. I had been to the St James Club many years prior and was anxious to share the experience with the girls. The entire experience went far beyond my expectations. The location and the grounds are spectacular allowing your senses to view beautiful scenes at every turn. The staff were superb— I wanted the girls to enjoy all the activities the resort had to offer. The staff at the waterfront were incredible—- the girls paddle boarded, kayaked, and went out on the hobie cats. The staff gave them instructions and lessons in each activity. They watched them carefully and insured their safety and enjoyment at each step. They had a power walk each morning, water aerobics , pickle ball and snorkeling. There were so many activities to keep you happy and busy— Jenga, corn hole, ping pong at the pool—there was a pool table, games, a library and a Kids Club staffed to create a little afternoon break for the younger one. The pool was a particularl favorite of ours—- it was immaculately tended to, sparkling clean, bountiful towels and loungers with a shower and facilities in the same location. There were sunny and shady spots to accommodate your desire. The food was GREAT—- there was something for all our palates. Our favorites included a crepe station, cheesy nacho chips, many ice cream selections, fruit galore, an omelette station and lots of local selections. There is a Coffee and Tea Bar available at all times with an ideal location built into the palm trees creating a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy your caffeine fix. Food options were plentiful and easy to access. Our room was perfect overlooking the ocean beach giving us the sights and sounds of the waves and breezes. We absolutely loved everything but what impressed me the most was the ease of travel as a grandmother traveling with 2 young ladies. I felt the interactions with all the staff allowed me to feel the girls were involved, happy and most importantly SAFE.. I was able to relax and enjoy myself while they were able enjoy all the resort offers. Sent from my iPhone
