Antigua was a great resort, lovely white sand and clear blue sea, so relaxing!!!!!! Most of the time was spent around the hotel though, which was fantastic.

"The ideal place to relax"

Overall Resort Rating:

Excellent

Open quote

The resort is an ideal place to soak up the sun, or to try kayaking or hobbicats in the calm bay. Unfortunatley we didn't snorkle too much on the Atlantic side due to the large numbers of jellyfish around at the time. The beaches are nothing less than perfect - hot on the Atlantic side with a slightly cooler breeze in the bay. Any washed up seaweed is cleared by about 7am and when we visited (September) there were plenty of loungers and shady areas.

The majority of the guests here are all-inclusive, and everything is included, even champagne, much to my partners delight. You'll very quickly get to meet Albert, a very pleasant chap who drives a golf buggy with a mobile bar around the beaches all day.

The resort is fairly remote on the island, which gives it some of its appeal to us, but Nelsons Dockyard and Shirley Heights are no more than a 15 min taxi ride away. I'm not sure about eating outside the resort - we didn't as the food was so good.

In keeping with the rest of Antigua, it seems, St James is not mad on the nightlife. There's entertainment every evening but if you're looking for discos till 2am this isn't the resort for you.

"Quiet, relaxing, enjoyable"

Overall Resort Rating:

Excellent

Open quote

The whole island is of a different pace to the other caribbean islands we have visited. Antigua is a very quiet island with little to do, there are a few places to visit. Nelson's Dockyard is worth a visit as is Shirley Heights on a Sunday night for a great party, music and dancing. We hired a car and drove around the island quite a bit but there is little going on so tended to stay in the hotel a lot as we were all inclusive. The town is worth a visit for a few hours but the shops aren't great, we didn't buy anything. For us it was a nice end to our honeymoon, we went to Barbados to get married, to St Lucia for a week and then onto Antigua for a week so it was nice to wind down on this island but we wouldn't go here for a 2 week holiday as there is little to do.

"Lush!"

There are 2 beaches one is a lovely quite sandy cove and the other is a rather windy but lovely sandly cove. Golf buggy regularly keeps you topped up with rum punches.

Weather was pretty good whilst we were there but it can be cloudy at times, althought I found that a welcome relief from the scorching sun.

If you get a chance... go, it's fab

There are two beaches. A nice quite beach in the bay which has 2 beach bars, a golf cart with beverages, and a BBQ grill for a quick bite. This is where you do all the kayaking, sail boating, windsurfing, etc. It was a beautiful quiet little bay.
