St. James's Club & Villas

We just returned from a two-week holiday staying in a two-bedroom villas. The villa was spacious, beautifully maintained, and offered stunning views. The staff were, as always, incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The resort itself is expansive with something for everyone — tennis, gym, paddle, lounging by one of the many pools, or enjoying the choice of two beaches. We also went on two fabulous boat trips around the island with Noel and his crew, who looked after our large group perfectly. Special thanks to Matt, who was always on hand to help with any questions or issues. Overall, this resort is highly recommended — a fantastic place to visit with excellent service, great facilities, and unforgettable experience.

We have just got back from a wonderful 2 week stay at St James Club & Villas. The villa accommodation had been updated and the walk in shower was huge , with loads of countertop for all toiletries and sun lotions etc. The villa had two great size bedrooms , both with en-suite facilities. (1 had a large bath with fixed overhead shower and the other was the huge shower) it was set over two levels with a terrace off both bedrooms and a giant balcony off the open plan kitchen, lounge & dining area. All the space you could want with stunning views and easy access to Mamora Bay. The pool and restaurant facilities are extensive and they offer great choice. The Rainbow restaurant is fabulous for buffet breakfast and lunch , Docksiders beach grill is great for eating at lunchtime straight from the beach and to order and then main docksiders is available in the evening for buffet dining. It’s definitely worth getting orientated with what’s cooking in each area so that you can choose to go buffet or opt for booking and eating to order in other restaurants on site (11:11, Coco’s, piccolo’s or Rainbow in the evenings) We were a good size group with everyone wanting something different some the gym, some tennis , others the hobby cats . There was entertainment available throughout the day aqua aerobics, quizzes, chess , table tennis & Corn hole toss. We chartered a boat from the resort to go round the island and stopped off at various places to swim and snorkel spotting turtles , fish , konch and stingrays an absolute highlight of the holiday . We found all the staff friendly, happy and helpful, real assets to the resort . I always feel if the staff are happy the management must be doing things right . We have had a memorable and fabulous holiday here this year and are already planning to return next year . Dawn and Bill Smith Surrey UK

We just love this resort! Having visited many on the island this has become our firm favourite, in fact now with many generations of the family. The choice of two beaches, sports facilities, a spa and a wide variety of restaurants is brilliant (the food quality has got even better since last year!). But its the staff that make it for us, super friendly - feels like coming home every time. Thanks Riaan, Donna, James and the whole crew! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We booked an All Inclusive trip in the BA sale. First time in Antigua. Loved the resort. Food and service were excellent. Did a trip out with the Pink Panther Jeep Safari (highly recommend) and also a boat trip on the Calypso Cat (a bit rough in high seas). Tennis and pickleball courts also great. The two different beaches and multiple pools mean it feels like you have more than one resort. Nice room with a lovely view of the Atlantic side. Overall excellent value All Inclusive experience.

It's hard to determine the ingredients that make a perfect holiday. Great food, cocktails, sea and sunshine are all important. But you can get this at most hotels and resorts. Sometimes there are less tangible elements that make a hotel really special. A warm welcome at reception, a friendly smile from the staff, an attentive management team that display genuine care for their guests. These are the small details that elevate a good experience to a great experience. The team at St James Club understand the art of making each guest feel truly valued and welcomed. Riaan, the recently appointed manager, leads by example and is accessable to the guests. This is a lovely touch that develops that sense of personal service. The resort is spacious, offers plenty of eateries and bars and a lovely coffee shop. The catering team are exceptional and its hard to find fault with any element of this hotel. Congratulations team SJC and thank you for making our holiday so special.
