    St James Club Antigua

    We stayed in one of the two bedroom villas. Villas was spacious but in need of renovation but we managed to overlook the needed repairs. Most important was that air conditioner worked and we had hot water. The pools were all nice and kept clean. We had to relocated via bus to another resort because of the seaweed, that's nature not the resort issue. The resort allow us full access to bars, restaurants, beach and pools so we were happy. Food at St James was really good. Staff was helpful. Would stay here again.

    Don’t trust them with your credit card details

    Came home to discover an unexpected $154 charge on my credit card, no problem mistakes happen.. However two weeks and multiple emails later, no one has bothered to respond to my query. For that reason alone it’s a one star review. The setting itself was pretty enough, the room was tired though (think rusty chrome taps) and occasionally the service was ridiculously slow (we waited 1 hour 45 minutes for a burger at lunch). On the positive side they did a cracking job on NYE.

    The sun at least did not disappoint.

    The setting of StJames’s Club and Villa is beautiful. This resort might have been once upon a time a very decent resort but hasn’t age gracefully. It is our third visit in the island and stayed in other resorts and I would recommend the Elite Island Resorts to invest a little bit( a lot) more money on the SJC. The bedrooms really need updating, particularly the bathrooms and please train your staff how to clean thoroughly, they truly do not care. The food is beyond disappointment. I truly can not find the words. A school cafeteria would be definitely of higher standard. The service, 80% of the staff did not really wish to be there. The water of the pools raised serious questions about when and how often it was cleaned and the chemical level monitored. The overall hygiene of the premises needs to be addressed urgently. The Piccolino Mundo restaurant has been described on your site as ‘Fine Cuisine”well I am not a foodie or a snob but really!!! I better stop there because whatever I say will probably not make a difference because there will always be tourists, with lower standards expectations or inexperience of what a decent resort should be, that will be satisfied and I am sure that Elite Island Resorts do bet on it. Needless to say that we will not return to the SJC. … the sun at least did not disappoint just as we expected.

    Something for everyone

    It was an amazing place to celebrate a vacation with three generation of family - so many options for food, activities, pools, beach, and excursions. The setting was amazing and loved the Mamora bay beach area with the water hammocks! Highly recommend the sunset boat cruise and Shirley heights for the sunset and music . Truly a great spot and everthing went so smooth with how the whole place is run - already thinking of when we can return!

    Sadly disappointing.

    Very disappointing. We are here now and have another week to go. The staff do their best but it seems they’re fighting a losing battle. One of the main restaurants is closed with no explanation which has a knock on effect and we have now waited over 2 hours to be served our dinner. The weather is beautiful the beaches are lovely but the whole holiday has been marred by bad management. We have actually made a complaint at guest services so have tried to address certain issues. I would be interested to know how other guests feel. This is a 4 star resort but does not live up to that status.
