Wonderful place to be, we enjoyed everything.
The resort is beautiful, the people couldn't be more hospitable and friendly, went out of their way to get you whatever you needed. The food was great, been on many all inclusive vacations, but this was the best. We will return here again soon.

Over Rated
I have traveled to the caribbean many times and stayed at some very nice resorts. St James Club was the first resort that I can say when I checked out was very disappointed with my vacation experience. The resort is rated a four star but should be rated a three star. They advertise having four restaurants but only three were opened, with the fourth we were told has been closed for two years. Of the three that were opened only two were part of the all inclusive, the third one you had to pay a charge of $35 per person to eat there. The pools were very nice but the two beaches left a lot to be desired. One of the beaches was on the Atlantic Ocean side of the resort and the water was always full of seaweed. The resort had two guys with a tractor and a utility trailer raking and picked up seaweed most of the day. When you tried to walk into the water the bottom was rocky. The other beach was on the bay side, this was a bigger beach but if you walked into the water it was like stepping in muck. This beach also had a seaweed problem and they were raking this beach up during the day. When we checked in we were not informed about one of the restaurants being closed, we had to find out for ourselves. We were also never told where to get beach towels, ect. Our room was plenty big and spacious but we had a problem with a leaky a/c unit. The water would drip from the unit onto the tiled floor. To avoid slipping and falling I had to put a beach towel of the floor to collect the water. I informed maintenance not once but twice and was told the problem was fixed but it never was. I had to keep changing the towel because when it got too wet bugs would begin to live under there because it was damp. We had a refrigerator in our room that was empty. I went to the front desk because at all other ALL INCLUSIVE resorts the refrig was stocked with water and soda, and sometimes beer. I was informed that the refrig was for anything I bought and wanted to put in it. I asked if bottled water was part of the ALL INCLUSIVE and was informed if I wanted water I would have to pay for it. The bars at the pools and the staff person who came to the beach only had a limited amount of choices for alcohol, which is something I never experienced before. The only places you could get a premium(good) drink were at the restaurant bars at night. At the bars if you ordered a bottle of beer and wanted to take the bottle with you they would have to charge you for it.Finally, I have never had to give my name and room number was many times at an all inclusive resort. I asked one of the managers why I couldn't be issued a bracelet to identify me as an all inclusive guest, and was told the resort did not want to offend anyone in having them wear it. An example was one night I went to dinner with my party and we went to the bar to get a drink. We ordered drinks and was asked for our name and room number. We then went to the hostess to be seated and was again asked for our name and room number. The waitress came over and when she took our cocktail order we had to give our name and room number again. The food waitress came to take our order and you guessed it, we had to give our name and room number again. Thats four times in 30 minutes.
It is unfortunate that this place cannot get its act together because the men and women who work there could not have been nicer. This is one place I will never go back to.
PS They need to hire an activities director because that was also lacking with very little to do.
This was our first all inclusive other than going on cruises. I must say I think it was a great value. The resort is very clean. They keep the grounds impeccable. Our room was spacious and was right on Coco beach so we just went out our door and we were right on the beach which was very nice. Coco beach is the Atlantic side and I was surprised at how warm the water was even though it is slightly rough. Mamora Beach is on the Carribean side and very calm. I would not go back again at the end of June because it is hurrican season and the weather the first two days was very overcast and rainy. The next three days were gorgeous but the humidity is unbearable. You feel wet all the time and feel like you need to take a shower constantly. They really only have 2 dining restaurants (the other one is not all inclusive) and the other one is more of a hamburger/quick meal place and in off season the restaurants are not always open at the same time. Some nights they are both open and some nights they alternate. We were surprised that the food was as good as it was and we were never hungry. The only thing I didn't like was that the two dining restaurants are open air with fans and no air conditioning so you are still hot and sticky when eating. I loved the 4 o'clock afternoon tea with the little finger sandwhiches and scones. Just lovely and held us over until our dinner. I did not like the fact that you have to make reservations for dining the day before. They post the menus for whatever restaurants will be opened the next night and you decide which one you prefer and have to schedule your reservation. I would much rather not have to decide ahead of time and worry about whether I made the reservation or not. There is a 3rd restaurant (Italian) but you have to pay $35. each for it which I think is a little high since specialty restaurants on cruises are much less). It is very very quiet at night and there isn't a lot to do. There are a few bars open on and off that's about it. There is no casino or shopping stores on sight. except a little mini mart for soda, etc. I think they could use a casino and definitely more entertainment. It costs about $50. to get a ride into St. John's to go to the casino or shopping or sightseeing. I definitely think they should have a courtesy van or jitney bus to take you back and forth to town. A lot of large hotels do this as a courtesy service to their guests. Up at the top of the mountain where the villas are they have a section of small cascading adult pools overlooking the bay. Just beautiful and nice if you want to escape. I like the fact that they have little golf carts that take you back and forth throughout the grounds since the place is very large and spread out and there are a lot of hills. Since I have a bad back and knee this was great. I used them all the time. Overall we had a good time. It was very relaxing which is what we were looking for. I would recommend the St. James Club if you are just looking to relax and lay about and read a book but you need to be aware that if you are the type of people that like a lot to do or party then this is not the place for you. I thought we got our money's worth for what we paid. The food was good and the drinks were good.

Perfect for what I wanted
I, 26 and my boyfriend 28, stayed at St. James Club about a week and a half ago from a Saturday to a Saturday. We had a great time, and were very pleased with the experience.
We were looking for a resort/island that had some activities to offer but most of all a place where we could relax in paradise. St. James Club offered just that.
Right away we experienced very nice and friendly service. The people at St. James Club are there to help and always with a smile. The resort is very clean as well and safe as well! We even noticed staff cleaning outdoor walking areas.
We were very pleased with our room. We had a standard club room with a King size bed, table and chairs, refrigerator, nice size balcony with a table and chairs, flat screen TV, great size bathroom with his and her sinks and a full size shower with tub. Our room was in such a nice location on the resort as well. Right near the main restaurant, two of the 6 pools, one of the adult only ones as well and right near the Mamora Bay Beach.
We had gone during the island's "off" season. Therefore, the resort was not at full capacity, which provided for a lot of peace and quiet and plenty of room to spread out on the beach and by the pools. The beaches were equipped with great lounge chairs and umbrellas.
There is always somewhere to get something to eat or drink. On the beach there is a bar and grill for your convenience as well as a person who comes around on a golf cart with water and other beverages including their "Rum Punch" that we became found of.
There are great activities for you to take advantage of as well. We tried the catamaran & paddle boats, and used the tennis and volley ball courts. Everything was easy and fun to do. There was no hassle when trying to do anything.
The restaurants on the resort were great as well. I am not a big fan of fish or white meat, and I always had something great to eat. My boyfriend ate a lot of the seafood and enjoyed it very much. They always had a breakfast and lunch buffet in the main dining room which had great options for everyone. The quality and taste of the food was great. There fancy restaurant Piccolo Mondo is well worth the extra $35 per person if you have all inclusive. The atmosphere and view are stunning and beautiful. Definitely a romantic experience as well. We were offered Champaign and accepted and every time you took a sip, they refilled your glass….at no charge. My boyfriend had the lobster and was in heaven, I had a delicious Italian dish and we both left completely stuffed.
St. James club would be great for families or couples; I definitely recommend the place.

Hotel Description
St. James's Club & Villas, Antigua: Six Sparkling Pools, Restaurants Plus Atlantic and Caribbean Beaches
Isn't time to check out of your life for a while and check into a great all inclusive resort with two beautiful beaches and six terrific restaurants? St. James's Club & Villas in Antigua, offers a fabulous deal on toes-in-the-sand, rockin' island music and fun for the whole family.
Since the resort sits on a peninsula, you can enjoy both sides of the deep blue at the St. James. Antigua more than satisfies thrill seekers with kayaking and surfing on Coco Beach, where the Atlantic Ocean's winds and white-capped waves offer challenging adventures. When serenity is your aim, stroll over to the white sand beach of Mamora Bay, where the Caribbean waters offer a gentle soak in calm, crystal-clear peace.
For a freshwater option, St. James has six gorgeous pools. Two are only for adults, and one is for the kids. Settle down on one of the complimentary loungers, and enjoy the whispers of the surrounding palms. Or, slip into the Tranquility Pool, where the three-tiered design and cascading waters are sure to help you find your bliss.
When it's bliss of the culinary variety you're looking for, six restaurants help you order just the right thing at the St. James. Antigua is known for tasty, fresh cuisine, and the Coco Beach Restaurant and Bar serves up tasty salads and soups. For more jumpin' island vibes, visit Docksider, where the beat of steel drums is the perfect accompaniment to fresh seafood and Caribbean delights. Add in fire-torch performers and limbo dancers and you've got an authentic evening sure to be remembered long after you've shaken the sand from your toes.
Leave the kids to have fun at the Kidz Club and make time for a couple's massage at Spa Tranquility before taking the family back to your two-story Beachfront Suite. The suite provide plenty of space for everyone, but it's the private balcony or terrace with an ocean view that keeps everyone in smiles for days.
