We spent the loveliest week at this terrific resort on our first trip to Antigua. The beachfront room was perfect for us and walkable to everything. Each restaurant was so different and the food was very good for every meal. Plentiful breakfast buffet with many options. Great lunch spots and all the dinners were delicious. We would highly recommend treating yourselves to Piccolo Mundo which was outstanding! Every bar was well staffed with great cocktails, wine and beer. The staff everywhere was so friendly ! The grounds are pretty and well maintained and the rooms were clean always. Loved the Friday night beach party! It involves a lot of hard work for the staff we saw setting up all day and they made it very special. The water sports staff did a really nice job making certain everyone was safe. We enjoyed the Pink Panther Jeep tour very much! We would highly recommend this resort and would most definitely return someday. Thank you!

The St.James resort is lovely, BUT def hilly, lots of walking Stayed on the beach side, water was better than the bay side, but seaweed, which didn't bother me too much. It's a small beach but pleasant, no food/drinks very close. The bay side has a close lunch place, and more activities. We had a worker take us out on a Hobie cat sailboat, which was nice. The bay water is a little funky like a lake-murky. The food over all was so so. Best entertainment was the Friday beach party. karaoke was fun. All ends fairly early by 10- ish. Workers were generally nice and ok. Resort is not walkable to shops/restaurants. We did a tour of part of the island and did a sunset catamaran ride from the resort, which was choppy but lovely. When we checked in - 2 rooms, they messed up one room with a king/cot instead of 2 beds, and we booked way ahead. they didn't fix til the next am. I wouldn't return as we saw other beaches that were nicer. Met nice other tourists.

We have been to Antigua multiple times, staying here and at other hotels, but this is definitely our favourite. The food at 11/11 has improved with more salads and other healthy options. The addition of IPTV, although we are not there to spend long in front of the TV, just adds to the feeling that the resort is being constantly updated. Special mention to Igol The Chess Man who is fun and cool at the same time. The Coffee Shop is such a great addition with lovely staff. The General Manager Riaan is constantly visible helping out where necessary and always willing to have a chat with the guests. We Will Return again....

Fantastic, friendly service (special call-out to Tori who made our first night & to Cressida who makes the best cocktails!) Great location with ocean views to die for from your bedroom. And a wonderful restaurant (Docksider) on the beach.

We stayed the first week of March with the family - spouse and I and our grown (20s) kids. We were there mainly to relax and soak in the sun and the experience was great. A few minor things that could be improved - the resort is on the quiet side which didn't bother us too much, but a bit more night time entertainment would have been nice. We had 2 beachfront rooms in the pineapple building. Beautiful room and view, but as others have noted, the shower had little to no hot water or water pressure. Strange because the sinks had enough of both. In all other ways the resort was wonderful. Clean, beautiful grounds and helpful, friendly staff whenever you engaged them. The ocean side where our rooms faced had the rougher water and less appealing beach so the bay side was where we spent our time. Beach chairs and towels were always available and the beach itself is lovely soft sand. The water activities were also on this side with kayaks, paddle boards, hobie cats etc. plentiful and always available. We took out a hobie cat every day. While the restaurant reservation system was sometimes annoying - having to book the day before and dealing with full bookings - with a little patience we still managed to find our way to eating at the place we wanted each night. Food is always a big part of the vacation for us and it was uniformly very good (even given you are at an all inclusive resort). They didn't try to completely tone down island flavours, especially at the Caribbean themed Cocos restaurant. Though you could always find mild options if that's all you're looking for. In the restaurants, Wendy M. was the best. She took great care of us on multiple days and was just a joy to talk with.
