One week at the St.James Club in Antigua was not enough!! Next year my husband and I plan to go back for 2 weeks!! What a perfect spot to spend a vacation - great service, the staff were so friendly, helpful and charming.The resort is so spread out and private that even when busy it never seemed that way! The food is fabulous - excellent variety, presentation and abundance, we especially enjoyed Piccolos.
The entertainment was enchanting, especially enjoyed the dance troupe from St.Johns. The "guest services" desk was staffed by wonderful, patient and extrememly helpful people. The water sports was managed so efficiently there was never a wait or line-up for sailboat rentals, etc. Truly a remarkable spot, cant wait for next Feb to return!!!

We've just come back from a fantastic week at the St James's Club & cannot fault the resort. The icing on the cake was being upgraded to a spacious 2-bed villa on arrival, the views over the bay were beautiful & we felt like we'd joined the millionaire club!

The staff were very friendly, if you responded to the staff's friendly
manner everyone spoke to you, from the managers to the gardening staff
& everyone in between.The main pool ran out of pool towels at the end
of one afternoon so a porter went to the laundry to get one especially
for my daughter. Golf buggies appeared quickly at the accomodation when
requested to whisk you off to dinner,the beach or anywhere else on the
complex. The food was of an exellent standard at all the restaurants.
It was nice to find that the style of dining varied most nights at the
3 restaurants.You may have buffet one night, but if you returned to
that restaurant a couple of nights later you found that there was
waitress service and an extensive menu to choose from.Wine glasses were
topped up frequently without you having to ask. The swimming pools were
well maintained, the only comment I'd make was that the children's pool
had a rather rough lining, not tiled like the other pools, so it was
easy to scrape you knees. The beach & pool bars had every type of drink
you could think of. There was very little time spent waiting to be
served even when a lot more people arrived at the resort for half term.
If you are a family we'd recommend hiring a car for the day rather than
using taxis. The price of a trip to St John's would pay for a day's car
hire which gives you more flexibility. We went to English Harbour, did
the scenic drives that are in the guide books and spent an afternoon in
St John's in one day.
To be objective,the only disappointment was that the water in the bay was not clear enough for snorkelling, but there plenty of other water sports to keep you happy.
Overall we'd thoroughly recommend the resort.

We just returned from a week in Antigua at the St James Club (Feb 7-14). What a wonderful place. This was our 1st time doing the "all inclusive" so we were not sure what to expect. We choose the St James based on the number of rooms and how spread out the resort was. We wanted a resort that was small and intimate. Needless to say we were not disappointed. The accomodations were great, when we arrived & checked in we were wisked away in a golf cart to our room in the Bay Suites area of the resort overlooking the bay. A slight problem with the lock on the patio door, but it was resolved very quickly. I had read some negative reviews mostly about the staff...I would have to disagree with those comments. The staff was very helpful, gracious & numerous. During meal times, we could not keep track of how many people were looking after us--special hello to Nigel in the Ranbow Garden. By Wednesday of the week my husband & I both said "We're coming back & we're coming back to the St James Club" I can't say enough. If you want a vacation without children then the St James is not for you.. I must say that the children from the UK are some of the most polite and well behaved I have ever seen. We enjoyed watching the kids @ the beach & during the entertainment. All in all, we loved it & will go back in a heartbeat

This was our first visit to the carribean. We were impressed with the hotel and its staff and like other reviews on this site, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Beaches were adequate,swept and cleaned everyday and throughout the day. Would recommend a trip around the island on the aCatamaran - great way to experience the coastline.
