St. James Club Antigua

A 40 minute drive from Antigua airport and a short taxi ride to English Harbour and Nelsons Dockyard this resort is albeit not close to anything but itself still is fabulously located by a stunning lagoon and right next to the Caribbean sea. Even the late Whitney Houston had a house right here. Holiday makers come repeatedly year after year and know some of the staff by name, which always speaks volumes.
There are rooms in blocks that are the bog standard hotel room and neat private villas, as well as anything in between to choose from. If you are considering coming here for your holiday try to stay in a room that is overlooking the lagoon, it's very serene there and just picture perfectly pretty.

Of the 4 restaurants at this resort I have only frequented 2. As a non all inclusive guest it isn't a good idea to pay for the evening meal at the restaurants. At $55 a head without wine it's a shocker for what you get. So go all inclusive if you can.

The buffet is actually not bad and if I wanted to eat out I'd go to English Harbour and find a nice restaurant overlooking some of the most gorgeous Yachts in the universe. A shuttle bus from the hotel will take you there and pick you up free of charge.

This visit we have been given Royal Suites and they are very lovely. The bed is one of those super
comfortable types that feels like you're getting a hug when you hop into it. As for the extra large bathroom all I can say is guilty pleasure ... when you fill the enormous bathtub up and almost have to swim to the taps.

They have daily activities to encourage you away from lounging at one of the many pools, though I was missing a yoga class or such like.
In the evening I enjoy the fact that the best DJ on the Island of Antigua, DJ Woody, is playing his tunes on Fridays and Saturdays in what I like to call the Discotheque.
And that's all I have to say about that :-)
