2022 family Antigua holiday!

We had a fantastic stay at Villa may this jan/Feb. the host was very helpful and organized a cot for our 20 month old. The location couldn’t have been better a short walk to all restaurants and right in the middle of the best beach! It couldn’t have been a better stay! Can’t wait to return next year!

Fantastic beach front villa with a lovely host- Highly recommend!

The villa was absolutely perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenagers). We checked in at the St James Club reception and were given the keys to our villa. The villa is beach front and central within the resort- it was very well presented, super clean, spacious and well furnished with modern decor throughout. There are two big bedrooms (with air-con) both with ensuites and bath/hand towels and beach towels are provided. Good sized kitchen with microwave, cooking utensils, dishes. cutlery etc. We prefer to eat out rather than go all inclusive in resorts and this was the perfect balance where we could sort out our own lunches and then head out in the evenings or order takeaway to eat in as well. There are two grocery stores approx 10 mins drive away which was handy. We really enjoyed the resort amenities and used the tennis courts and water sports, all included as part of your stay. We hired our own car from the airport and could park easily every day and there are taxis available in the resort for those who prefer not to drive. The resort is lovely, well established and we enjoyed walking around the resort each day and the staff were all so friendly. We explored the whole island and it was a great base, close to the restaurants in English Harbour and Falmouth Harbour. Lucy is a fantastic host, answering all our questions quickly prior to booking and ensuring all the booking details were correct prior to our arrival to ensure a smooth check-in. Brilliant holiday made easier by an attentive host! We hope to visit again in the future!

Villa May St James Beach Club

The villa is lovely. Two very large ensuite air conditioned bedrooms. Walk directly onto a wonderful sandy beach. St James beach club itself is beautifully manicured and provides a wide choice of bars and restaurants. English Harbour is a short drive away which has lively bars and excellent restaurants. Alternative beautiful beaches and fabulous beach bar restaurants are also only a short drive. Things to be aware of: firstly the wifi in the villa does not work at all. Nor in the adjacent villas, this appears to be a site problem and not something the owners of this villa can solve at the moment. The villa receives good 4G coverage which can be used to access the internet, but it rinses through your data and it's very expensive to top up if not done in advance. The coffee shop and the reception bar do have good wifi coverage. Secondly the villa kitchen is poorly stocked. It does not have an oven and has very few cooking utensils. These are minor points on what is otherwise a super villa in a fantastic location but forewarned is forearmed.

Nice place

The villas was very spacious and comfortable. I did have to do some cleaning in the kitchen. The bottom cupboards had lots of coffee/tea dripping down them and all cupboards had food stuck on them, otherwise the rest of the villa was fine. The resort is beautiful. Unfortunately we were unable to go into the bay nor the ocean due to an influx of sargassum sea weed, which made the water toxic. The staff are not very pleasant but they do their job.

Necessities needed and inaccurate information

Check in was seamless. Villa lacked multiple necessities. No mop, no dish liquid, no dish rag/sponge, one set of towel per person for an entire week (no washing facility available), one single knife (steak knife), no cleaning products, no paper towel, no kitchen towel, no iron, no ironing board, one trash bag in kitchen bin, no trash bag in bathroom bins, and no rugs/mats at doors in/out of villa. Concierge and front desk called daily and multiple times to request. I was told that maid service would bring the missing items. On day four of our stay, called again. Finally told that since we rented via the owner, St James does not provide anything in the villa. WOW, why couldn’t the others relay the same information. NOTE: You’re not going to get the same or similar responses to your questions posed to the staff. You basically have to figure things out yourself. Location - At least 30-40 minutes drive from activities and areas outside of English Harbour location. Transportation is a necessity Property, activities, and beach - 5/5 stars
