St. James's Club & Villas

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

We spent a week here with our 8-year-old and had a wonderfully relaxing stay. The resort makes a strong first impression with beautiful, well kept grounds and genuinely welcoming staff. Quick thanks to Alton and reception desk. There’s a noticeable culture of friendliness, staff and guests who greet each other, which creates a pleasant atmosphere. Our villa was spacious, spotless, with stunning balcony views. Dining across breakfast, lunch, and dinner was varied and enjoyable, and the dining team were consistently attentive, special thanks to Chef James, Hushane and Milton for thoughtful touches during our stay. The resort also did a fantastic job with the Super Bowl and Valentine’s celebrations. The beaches and pools were great for families, cocktails were refreshing (mobile bar nice touch), and the café was ideal for a quick snack or coffee/tea served by very friendly staff. The Friday beach party buffet was another highlight, combining great food with lively entertainment. You could get involved or sit on the sidelines. Thanks to the GM Riann for arranging the sunset cruise boat ride at the last minute, beautiful scenery, friendly crew, and great snacks and drinks (though the return trip was a bit wavy!). Overall, we would absolutely recommend this resort for a relaxing, well-cared-for getaway in Antigua.

“Absolutely magical! From the moment we arrived, the lush gardens and ocean views set a tranquil tone for our stay. The spacious suite was immaculate, with plush bedding and modern touches that made every night pure bliss. The staff went above and beyond—attentive without being intrusive, arranging a private beach dinner that was unforgettable. The spa treatments melted away all stress, and the gourmet dining options were a highlight, fresh and flavorful. This resort redefined luxury for us. We’ll be back soon—10/10!”

We have stayed here before but this stay was really good and much improved from previous years. Staff friendliness and standards were really good with the majority of team working with a happy and smiley demeanour. The staff seemed much more committed to proving excellent customer service and they looked much smarter in the revised uniforms. The commitment and hard work of the team that every day tackled the weed on the beach was amazing, they did a great job and worked as a team to remove the weed. The refurbishment of the room was most welcome and a great improvement on the previous furniture and fixings and our room was serviced daily, this was very welcome and carried out very well. The towels were good and much improved and the addition of a illuminated room clock was excellent. The new curtains were great as in previous years our curtains (every room we stayed in) had holes in them. The return of the mobile beach bar was most welcome, it had been missing in 2023 & 2024, really great to have it back and the staff were really good (we had two different team members (male and female). The gym was really clean and cool, much improved and the valentines evening display in the main reception was stunning - well done to the team who worked on this wonderful addition. The shop refurbishment is really good, layout is much better but we found the prices a little higher than expected. The standard of the food on offer is greatly improved and the cooking staff were really friendly and engaging a massive improvement since our last visit. The soups on offer each day were exceptional (I do like soup!). they was a great choice at every buffet, never a day when I could not find great food that I enjoyed. The al a carte food at Rainbow Gardens was superb, we eat there twice and is was really good and again great service and friendliness for the team. We will definitely return in 2027 ;)
