TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

Having spent thousands on a family holiday for 4 we’ve just got back and were all so disappointed. We booked for 12 nights but by day 8 we couldn’t wait to leave. Food was average, rooms were average, amenities were average - the cafe was shut for the whole of our stay. Everything was just very tired looking, even the towels in our bathrooms were frayed, mismatched and old looking! But by far the worst aspect were the staff. They ranged from looking like they couldn’t really bothered to downright rude. One bar staff member (Delisha) took a full minute to ask what I wanted after standing at the bar while she continued an argument with another member of staff and when I had the audacity to ask if I could have lime segments she kissed her teeth at me, glared at me and told me that she was already in the process of doing this. Another member of staff at reception told me very snippily when I asked if there were spare room slippers as we hadn’t packed any (expecting we’d have them in the room) looked me up and down and asked what room we were then said “we only have slippers on the royal suites and YOU are not in those so you can’t have any” and walked off. Totally get the hotel policy but would have been much nicer if she’d said “sorry madam we morally only provide these in the royal suits but in this instance I’m sure we can find some for you”??!! Would not go back and would not recommend. Such a shame as it was once a fabulous place.

Had a wonderful stay at St. James Club & Villas. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and well maintained, with excellent amenities. The staff were friendly and always helpful. Special thanks to Riaan for his kindness, and support. I truly appreciated the hospitality and would happily recommend this place.

My wife and I stayed at St. James’s Club & Villas during the first week of July 2026, and our experience was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, relaxed and completely removed from the stress of everyday life. The resort is beautifully situated on a private peninsula, surrounded by stunning Caribbean scenery and two lovely white-sand beaches. We especially enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, the warm turquoise water and the feeling of having so much space to relax. There was always something to do, whether it was enjoying the swimming pools, relaxing on the beach, trying the water sports or simply sitting with a cold drink and admiring the view. The variety of restaurants and bars was also impressive, and we loved being able to enjoy different meals and settings throughout our stay. The staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming, and they made us feel genuinely valued as guests. The service, beautiful surroundings and all-inclusive facilities made our holiday feel effortless and special. This was more than just a holiday for us—it was quality time together in one of the most beautiful settings we have ever visited. We returned home with wonderful memories and would happily recommend St. James’s Club & Villas to couples, families and anyone looking for a relaxing Caribbean getaway. We would definitely love to return.

My husband and I have been going to St James Club for many years we keep saying we’re going to go somewhere else but this place just draws you back. The views, the friendliness, the location just everything. And having two beaches at one resort is such Such a bonus one rough from the Atlantic and one in the bay.. note there is a problem sometimes with seaweed.. but that’s not much of a problem you just pack yourself up and go over to the Bayside. What more could you ask for? Drinks cart comes round the resort so you don’t even have to move from your lounger. Not only have you the sea, but you have two other pools to choose from. Food is always an important thing on holiday so choose where you eat not just the same old restaurant day after today but there’s several places where you can eat..plus a most wonderful coffee shop in the surrounds of a tree with lots of naughty cakes to tempt you. Phone for a buggy if you don’t feel like walking and a porter will come to your door a great place to holiday looking forward to going back.

Relaxing on our last day at this resort. Been able to enjoy the brand new coffee shop and ice cream parlour which are a huge bonus! Can’t fault the effort in this resort. We were upgraded to a huge villa presumably to keep us away from the smell of sargassum on the other side of the resort. They work tirelessly to clear this and I was able to go for a swim that side on a clear beach. Memora bay has seaweed on the floor but a clear beach and most days no smell. Also enjoyed the shuttle to pigeon beach. Special shout outs have to go to Torri (she does the tours), Elvis the top Barnan, Chris in the docksider and Ozzie who kept the entertainment going! But all the staff are fab! Food fab. Resort fab. Can’t complain about anything really but little improvements would be to provide drinks including extra water in the rooms and a bit more evening entertainment as most nights were a bit dead. Appreciate the resort is quieter as out of season but magician and quiz nights were good! Thanks all at St James!!
