St. James's Club & Villas

I just wanted to thank Riaan and his team for such an enjoyable stay at St James’s Club Antigua. Everyone really did go the extra mile to make our stay so special, from wonderful food and drinks to great sports activities. Not forgetting the rest and relaxation as well. Our room was very comfortable and beautifully clean. SJC is in an amazing location. Incredibly beautiful and tranquil, close to Shirley Heights and English Harbour which are a great day out. Sitting on our balcony watching the pelicans was a true highlight. Thank you one and all.

Disappointing resort experience. Very confused by other reviews on this site for this resort. I would not recommend this resort unless you don’t care about service or food. Rooms: not clean, not room service available, no daily towel delivery and no amenities (drinks in rooms etc.) Recommend the resort transition to easier access room key, to alleviate guests having to carry around large keys. Restaurants: limited restaurants, food was not great, was unable to get a reservation for the nicer restaurants. No late night food options. Staff: mixed review on staff, some staff (mostly male) were amazing, while others were not helpful. Front desk, was not helpful did not go over resort amenities or a map of the property or recommendations. Beach: not crowded, lots of water activities available. Overall location/island: island is amazing, resort spot is also good and pretty remote.

Just returned from SJC a week ago. We are Vacation Club Members so we had 2 weeks in one of the Villas on All Inclusive. There is a new Manager there this year called Riaan who has made such a lot of difference. He is very approachable, listens to ideas and is very hands-on in the Resort. We felt the food was very good this year and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff there are very friendly and special mention to Crissie, Judy, Keysha and all the Porters and staff at Docksider. Water Aerobics this year was great fun and all the instructors were very good and made it fun.

We just returned from the resort and the stay was amazing. The staff were very helpful and was always available to help. Thank you!!

The resort was good but not great. It was a sleepy but relaxing vacation. We stayed in a 2 bdrm with tween kids. All inclusive is a must- stadium nachos (not kidding, squeeze cheese) were $39 USD at the beach grill!!! Even the all inclusive guests made comments about how outrageous. Also worth calling out, the resort is very hilly if you have mobility issues. Highlights: - GREAT water sports - incredibly friendly water sports staff and fun options. Hobby cats, kayaks, standup paddle boarding, and peddle boats- could use snorkeling but great options - super fun beach party bbq on Friday night - great breakfast buffet at the Rainbow Garden -mamora bay was a delight. Plenty of beach chairs. Fun floats available to all. Calm. Needs more beach towels available and bathrooms were too far away but still, a delight and the highlight of the trip -aqua aerobics were fun Negatives: - BROKEN GLASS on beach at coco beach. I wouldn’t let my kids go in the ocean - lacking activities. beach volleyball and bingo were cancelled without notice. Considering the beach volleyball net was destroyed, they should have updated the calendar. - some restaurants were terrible. Yes, terrible. Beach grill and 11-11 were basically inedible. I’ve never eaten so little that I lost weight at an all inclusive vacation - incredibly slow service at restaurants - mosquitoes in villas - housekeeping was lacking. They never came 2 out of 4 nights. They didn’t change towels, just rehung. Considering we intentionally put one on the floor to exchange since it was used for a spill clean-up, this was annoying - tvs didn’t work for streaming - checkout took 30 min It was a relatively expensive vacation. There is room for improvement.
