What We Love
- The resort's location on a peninsula means you get the best of both worlds with two beautiful beaches: the calm Caribbean for lounging and the exciting Atlantic for surfing.
Things to Know
- With several restaurants and terrific activity options, the resort makes a great family trip at a reasonable price.
Since the resort sits on a peninsula, you can enjoy both sides of the deep blue. Antigua more than satisfies thrill seekers with kayaking and windsurfing 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, the resort has six gorgeous pools. Two are adults-only and one is for the kids. There are also tennis courts and a fitness center if you prefer to stay dry.
When it's bliss of the culinary variety you're looking for, several restaurants help you order just the right thing. Antigua is known for fresh cuisine, and the Coco Beach Restaurant and Bar serves up tasty salads and soups. For more island vibes, visit The Docksider, an open-air grill where you can dine by the waterfront.
Leave the kids to have fun at the Kids Club and make time for a couple's massage at the spa before heading back to your room to rest. The rooms provide plenty of space for everyone so you can stretch, relax and get ready for another day of fun on Antigua.

Nov 16, 2024Nice place. Food lacking.
This is our 5th time staying at Elite island resorts and fourth time at St James club. The weather was beautiful and we were happy there was no seaweed at all. We stayed in building 13 and found it to be centrally located to beach, pool, and main restaurant. Bed was very comfortable and room was clean and updated. Maid service was excellent. Breakfast at Rainbow was very good each morning. Service very good and we saw lots of smiles from our servers. The coffee shop is amazing. During our trip we found that restaurant choices were limited. Most nights we had two choices of venues. The Pico is $75 extra per couple. We had been there before and skipped it this trip. We like the resort for the beach and we are not big foodies, however we found the menu, especially on the buffet to be pretty lacking. Cuban night was someone making beef or chicken fajita-like tacos. The resort appeared half full. It would have been nice on those evenings for the place to offer some shrimp or fish tacos. We were also looking for some tortilla chips but none to be found. The resort gives two bottles of water per room for the entire stay. This became a problem for me for personal health reasons. Supposedly tap is filtered. We like the ocean during the day but there was no beverage cart service at all during our stay as in the past. It was a bit of a hike to the pool or restaurants for a soft drink or cocktail. As others have reported they hit with you with “resort” fees that started during COVID for cleaning and sanitation. Enough already. We had a nice time. Will try something else in the me future.

Nov 09, 2024Ok family vacation
Start off with the good. The location is phenomenal tucked into a cove with calm ocean on one side and actual waves on the other, it is picturesque beauty. Rooms are dated and we had major issues. Our AC did not work the first 2 days, however, maintenance did fix it but the first two nights were hot sleeping. Toilet in room did not flush correctly and again had to call maintenance, which did not fully fix the issue. Food was ok, not good, not bad just ok, think Golden Corral for US standards. Staff was friendly but way understaffed. Quivern was amazing and was the only true staff member that tried to interact above and beyond. Overall the resort is huge and feels less intimate than others. Food options were sparse and spread out making it inconvenient. Loved the location just not the resort.

Nov 08, 2024Our Annual Holiday at SJC
We have just returned from another fantastic holiday at St James Club. We have been coming for the past 19 years and regard it as our home from home. SJC is set in a stunning location with views to die for. We stayed in a reef suite which was newly decorated and furniture and bedding are of a high standard. There is a variety of restaurants with something to suit all tastes . The staff at SJC are amazing a special mention to Cressida at the Reef Pool Bar and Joanne at the Coffee Bar . Unfortunately my husband had a couple of medical issues and i cannot thank enough the way the staff handled the situation. A thank you to Peter the duty manager for calling the doctor and Shaneal for looking after my husband until the ambulance arrived. A massive heartfelt thanks to Marissa and Charlene the guest service managers for their amazing care and concern truly over and above their job requirements. We will be eternally grateful to you both. All being well we will be back next year.

Usual great stay at St James
Once again we were not disappointed. Our favourite place - St James Club and Villas!! A lovely stay only marred by me having a fall but more about that soon. Once again their greatest asset is the staff. They are understaffed and are trying to recruit but the staff work incredibly hard especially the restaurant staff and never stop working- - shout outs to Cresidda at the Reef Pool Bar - such a good move to have her there instead of Mamora Bay Bar and Chad at Jackaranda bar was a delight- such a funny man. I had a fall walking up to the reef pool from the Reef Suites - no fault of the hotels but they couldn’t have been more helpful- called a doctor and Merissa the guest ambassador took my husband in her car to the pharmacy to get a sling for my injured arm - thank you lovely lady (by the way had an xray on my return to U.K. and I have broken my elbow!!) All in all lovely place and has a lovely atmosphere- cya next year!!
