This lovely hotel sits on its own 100-acre peninsula at the southeast point of the island, just a 10-minute drive from Nelson's Dockyard with its historical buildings, museum and bars. There are two beaches, one for non-motorised water sports and the other for enjoying refreshing ocean breezes. The resort boasts five open-aired restaurants and one grill; most fêted of these is Piccolo Mondo, the resort's fine dining Mediterranean style restaurant in the village section, while the attractive waterside Docksider does a great Caribbean buffet each Thursday in alfresco surrounds. For a real treat, Royal Suites feature a king size bed with sunken living room, glass sliding doors to a private balcony and expansive bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and his and hers showers! A boardwalk also takes you from the suites right into the heart of Mamora Bay, perfect for strolling along in the moonlight! If plenty of home-from-home comforts appeal, choose a villa instead of a hotel room at St James's Club. Cheerful and bright, they feature warm Caribbean tones and terracotta tiles throughout. They're also very generous on space so are ideal for families and groups of friends.

This was our first visit to Antigua, a pretty island with abundant beautiful beaches and some interesting history—some handsome churches, a venerable Royal Navy dockyard where the great admiral Lord Nelson spent several years in the late 18th century.

A very nice clean resort with friendly staff. The eleven eleven restaurant was our favorite. We took the Pink Panther tour which was a great way to explore the area. That allowed us to book a taxi next day and see the Nelson Dockyard and Shirley Heights with more time. Cat Calypso cruise to Green Island was fun. Snorkeling off the boat was a tough…

A very nice clean resort with friendly staff. The eleven eleven restaurant was our favorite. We took the Pink Panther tour which was a great way to explore the area. That allowed us to book a taxi next day and see the Nelson Dockyard and Shirley Heights with more time. Cat Calypso cruise to Green Island was fun. Snorkeling off the boat was a tough swim not for the inexperienced swimmer. Green Island Beach with the sea turtles was great. Over all we had a great time Kathleen and I hope to come back someday. Thanks to Orlando, Typhonie and Taralyn for making our stay special.

We left on Friday following our 2nd visit, once again found the staff very friendly & helpful, the location is stunning our room was an ocean view, found it very comfortable.
WIFI was temperamental at times but not a major issue.
Will return again on day.

Having read the December reviews, I was expecting the worse, but have just returned from a surprising good stay at St. James's Club. Obviously Christmas high season must have caused overcrowding issues. Few of these were in evidence during our mid January visit. Perhaps some pressure on the restaurants at peak times but generally there's enough choice and various outlets to satisfy demand. Maybe a more laid back attitude is more in step with the culture and mood of a holiday environment. Accommodation in the beach front units very good with excellent amenities, well prepared, clean, lots of space and a wonderful ocean view. We found staff very pleasant and eager to please. Live music can be somewhat loud during dinner. Other organised entertainment activity a bit basic,with a doubtful charge of $10 to play bingo on one evening! Wonderful setting, with two panoramic beaches. Great choice of accommodation types. Would have liked to have seem more evidence of senior management around the property, but all in all, with the exception of some tropical storms. for which I can't blame on anyone other than nature, a delightful and surprisingly good stay.
