St. James Club Antigua
Hotel Information: Popular with families during summer and holidays and with families and couples during winter, this resort attracts an international clientele. Because it occupies an entire peninsula of 40 hectares (100 acres), this hotel can seem like an island onto itself, with tranquil Mamora Bay to its west and the windswept Atlantic Ocean to the east. Green hills provide a backdrop for beaches of white sand.
Insider tip: Every Thursday night, the resort's evening dress code is relaxed at The Docksider, on the edge of Mamora Bay, when a steel band plays and a limbo dancer entertains during a Caribbean barbecue buffet.
The resort offers a total of 178 guestrooms and suites with All-inclusive or European Plan (no meals) options. Rooms are housed in one-, two-, and three-story buildings.
All St. James Club & Villas' rooms include furnished ground floor patios or balconies with garden or sea views, and feature barefoot-friendly terracotta tile floors, pastel walls and ceilings, and wicker furniture.
