Charming Villa 442 "Les Palmiers" St. James's Club Beach Peninsular, Antigua

Totally remodeled by designer/owner, bright and breezy, with good privacy, and very secure, this villa offers luxurious Balinese and modern furnishings, blue tooth stereo, flat-screen TVs in the living room and bedrooms. Each bedroom has a queen-sized bed and large, screened windows to catch lovely Caribbean breezes. Use the spacious deck for dining and entertaining.

Start the day, take a short, one minute, barefoot walk, from the Villa to two fabulous, clean, sandy, beaches and enjoy a morning swim in the Caribbean's warm waters. Enjoy all of the St James's Club facilities including four restaurants with gorgeous views, cocktails on your beach lounger from the drink cart, a beach bar and grill, and a pool bar. Have fun with the Hobie Cats, Kayaks, Windsurfers, Canoes and paddle boards from the lagoon beach (instruction is available), beach volleyball, a choice of four swimming pools, four floodlit Tennis courts, 3 Pickle Ball courts and a Fitness Center. Treat yourself to the beauty spa for hair, massages, manicure, pedicure, and much more. There is also a Kidz Club for daycare activities. You'll love the friendly staff here!

Take a short drive or taxi to the famous Shirley Heights - don't miss Sunday Sunsets and live music there! Visit historic English Harbour and Nelson's Dockyard and see huge ocean racing and cruising yachts close at hand. Two minutes walk away, Falmouth Harbor Marina is home to more amazing, globetrotting, mega-yachts, the best local Italian snacks, delicious coffee or Espresso Martini's and a good place to buy provisions. Day-trip from the dock on St James's Club's 60 foot Catamaran 'Veranda', or take the dive-boat, ask about deep sea fishing or snorkel trips on the local reef. These, along with round-island activities and rental cars, can all be scheduled through the concierge. The Club also offers a fully-inclusive daily option that provides meals and drinks, payable directly to the Club on departure.
There is currently a resort charge of US$24.00 per night per villa, this is due to the extra COVID resort cleaning and sanitizing protocols. There is also a government mandated "Tourism Accommodation Levy" (TAL) of US$5.00 per night per person, these are both collected by the St. James’s Club Resort at the end of your stay.

Restaurants, places of interest, things to do and nightlife abound. As part-time residents of the island, we're happy to recommend our favorites!

We had a wonderful stay at Peter and Martine’s villa. It was plenty of space for our family of 5. I strongly encourage you to add on the all inclusive package The food and drinks were very good for an AI experience. Peter was extremely responsive and readily available throughout our stay. Antigua is now one of our favorite islands - so much to do and see. I recommend you utilize the tour desk and ask about chartering the catamaran or the double decker pontoon for a day. Memories for a lifetime!We will definitely return!

Great villa, great resort

Multi generational family holiday. Something for everyone. Short walk access to beach and pool(s). Manager helped us pre-provision, which was a huge benefit. On site resort restaurants somewhat expensive and unremarkable food. Taking a cab to English Harbor recommended for better dining choices

Spectacular Villa at St James !!

Absolutely stunning three bedroom villa. The upper area living spaces were perfect for gathering and the outside decks and spaces were beautiful, shady and boasted great views. This was our second time at St James club and the facilities and beaches were wonderful and offered beaches, tennis and pickle, sailing and more. The check in and check out process were easy and the team was very helpful in arranging airport transfers, taxis and suggesting excursions off the resort. Thanks to Peter and Martine for sharing their wonderful villa.

Antigua Fun & Sun

This villa was great for our family of six over the holidays. Very clean inside and out (received housekeeping care every few days). Though we primarily had lunch and dinner out, the kitchen was very well equipped to take on any cooking pursuit. Peter (owner) was the best at staying in touch with us during the months leading up to, and all during, our stay. The St. James Club location on the southern side of the island is near a number of worthwhile sites and activities in addition to what the resort offers.

Our experience at Peter's villa was everything we could have asked for. The property has everything a family needs for a great vacation plus you have access to the resort and all of its facilities: beaches, pools, gym, tennis, etc. Peter was friendly and helpful throughout our experience. The resort has CoVid testing at the end of the week so you don't have to worry about getting back into your country if that's a requirement. Antigua is beautiful, the weather is exceptional and the locals are friendly. Pretty much everything you could want in a Caribbean vacation.

Super-relaxing break

Fantastic villa in a great spot in the resort. It really is only a 2 min walk to a fantastic beach with a bar at either end. The villa is spacious with comfy beds, great aircon and a lovely terrace with views to pool opposite and out to sea. Peter and Martine personalise the experience and lots of local knowledge. The St James Club has many charms, great facilities and a very easy going vibe. Just be careful with your all-inclusive plan. If you can find a decent rate it’s worth doing as pay as you go prices are eye watering - like $12 for a capuccino! We found car hire essential after a couple of days to get some variety.

Great villa in a great resort!

Our family of 4 recently stayed at Peter and Martine's villa at St James Club. I was thoroughly impressed with the communication both prior to and during the trip. Both Peter and Annabelle were always just a quick call away but there really wasn't any need to reach out. The villa is conveniently centrally located to all resort amenities. The villa itself is well laid out with 3 bedrooms on the ground floor and the kitchen/living/dining upstairs. There is a kids pool just outside the villa which came in handy for quick dips. Thank you Peter and Martine for making our first trip to Antigua so much fun!

Great location, communication and service

With a 5-month old baby this was a perfect location for us as it is near the kiddie pool. The amenities in the Villa had everything we needed and the balcony was well appointed for comfort and lounging. What makes this Villa extra special and separate from other SJC Villas is communication with owners and the absolutely outstanding service provided by their support staff, especially Claudia and Simonetta, who followed up that all was okay and made a lot of local suggestions and reservations for us - freeing up our time to enjoy the Villa and the SJC facilities.. Thank you Peter and Martine ... you are forever on our list for doing it again!

Adult Family Getaway

We were very pleased with our stay. I believe everything was as advertised for the villa. The villa was clean, updated nicely, with a large fantastic open porch and covered porch, where we spent a great deal of time. With the living area on the second floor the views were very nice. The kitchen was nicely equipped including plenty of cocktail and wine glasses. . Inside was overall very comfortable including bedrooms and bathrooms. I will mention that the beds were very hard which wasn’t a biggie for us but could be a concern for someone with back issues. The resort was nice with good options. It was expansive with lots of brick paths so there was walking along them up and down hills. We only ate at a couple of restaurants and they were ok. We wanted to experience the whole island and ate out mostly. Overall would definitely stay here again. Very pleased.

Excellent Amazing Villa!!!

My wife, 15-year old son, and I spent an amazing week at Peter and Martine's Villa at Saint James Club. It was even better than advertised. The St James Club and staff were great. The property is beautiful. We rented a cart and enjoyed visiting the many establishments in English Harbor. The Villa was absolutely amazing. It is immaculately clean. The views from the deck are amazing. We could have spent the entire week just lounging on the deck admiring the view of the water, hills and palm trees. We have traveled extensively in the Caribbean and this Villa is tops! Peter and the management staff were helpful with any requests including restaurant suggestions. Titi's car rental was outstanding and service was great. Definitely a 5- star experience.

Beautiful!

This Villa is everything you see and more. The villa is absolutely beautiful and immaculately clean. You feel like you're in a home away from home for vacation. The views from the second floor veranda are beautiful and were our favorite spot for morning coffee and evening sunsets. The owners make you feel so welcome and their communication before, during, and after your stay is top notch. Their recommendations for things to do and see is so very helpful and made a perfect vacation. We so enjoyed everything at the resort as well. The restaurants in the resort are all very good and their recommendation of The Pillars at Admiral Inn for dinner was a plus. The excursions they recommended, that are right at the resort, were so much fun. We did the Calypso Cat Tour and the Sunset Cruise and loved them both. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone and we would definitely come back again if we were in Antigua. Peter and Martine, we can't thank you enough. You are wonderful hosts!

Villa "Les Palmiers" delivers!

What a beautiful villa! Perfect for our family of 4. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and TV. The upstairs family room and kitchen are bright and airy and the balcony provides great space for lounging, eating, or just watching the pelicans riding the thermals before diving arrowlike into the sea. Access to Mamora Bay beach is a mere 1 minute though the surrounding villas. Peter and Martine were great hosts and very helpful in getting us settled in quickly. The villa is located a little away from the main pool and club amenities but is beside the Spa, the tennis courts and Piccolo Mondo (upscale onsite restaurant). It was quick and easy to get taxis to English Harbour (excellent meal at the Admiral's Inn) and the coastal drive back to the airport provided some final iconic views of the Caribbean. Overall a wonderful stay in a great location.

Beautiful well equipped villa

Our family of 4 with 2 older teens (16 and 19) thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Plenty of space for us all to have our own bedroom and ensuite, great sized rooms and plenty of towels. The villa is very well equipped and has a great kitchen so we self catered for breakfast and lunch and mostly went off resort for dinners in local English Harbour. The villa is in a great location, set amongst the palm trees with easy access to mamora bay beach, the childrens pool, an adults pool and the main hotel pool not too far away. Bars and restaurants are close too, plus the fitness centre and tennis courts. Peter and Martine provide a lovely home away from home. Communication before and during our stay was superb. Annabelle the local property manager was very helpful and responsive and the housekeepers were excellent. Would highly recommend this villa as a great family place to stay. A very friendly resort in a beautiful spot on Antigua, and not too far from Shirley Heights for your sunset bbq experience. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Immaculately maintained villa in stunning setting

We spent Spring Break at Peter and Martine's beautiful villa and could not be more pleased with the experience. Excellent communication before and during the trip, every question answered promptly and many helpful tips provided. The villa is clean, bright and fresh thanks to the skilled caretakers and obvious attention of the owners. Plenty of room for our family of 5. The Saint James Club has so many great options for activities - plenty to do without leaving the property. There is an all-inclusive option but we elected to cook in the villa, go off property or pay a la carte at the on property options. Our kids played tennis every day, and used the free catamarans, stand up paddleboards, kayaks, and snorkel gear provided by the club. The pool directly across from the villa is the kids pool and super convenient if you have smaller children. Even though it was spring break and at high occupancy, the resort never felt crowded. No problem finding chairs at the two beaches or multiple pools, and no need to go place towels on chairs at 6 AM like some other resorts. Plenty of great off property options: dining in English Harbor (we recommend Pillars and Cloggy's), fishing, boat charter, and ziplining. We did not rent a car but plenty of taxis available. Thank you Peter and Martine for sharing your wonderful villa with us!

Family Reunion

Our family of five adults stayed in Peter and Martine’s villa for 12 nights in July this year (2021), the first time we had traveled since Covid. We live in New York, and our son in the UK and when Antigua was added to the UK’s so-called green list of countries, it seemed like a great option for us to reunite. The villa is spacious, very tastefully and comfortably furnished and had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen is extremely well stocked, and we were able to prepare meals and even blend cocktails and enjoy them on the lovely terrace. The resort itself is very clean and green and we enjoyed the time we spent at the pools and on the beach there. Our two older children used the gym daily, and we enjoyed early morning walks along the beach and around the gardens of the resort. Staff were friendly, and the arrangements for pre-departure Covid testing were convenient and stress free. One of the beaches had a lot of dead seaweed which made it sometimes smelly and unusable but this may have been seasonal and we witnessed the same issue further along the coast at Half Moon Bay which we had understood to be one of the island’s best beaches. Communication with Peter was straightforward both before and during our stay and our questions were answered immediately, despite our being in different time zones. Contact with the local property holder was also easy and an issue with a replacement battery for the safe was resolved as quickly as weekend hours would alllow. We rented a car from the Titi rental agency; the daily rate was reasonable and included a return trip to the airport which was very convenient. Unless you opt for the all inclusive package at St James’s, a car is a must as, similar to other properties on Antigua, there are no grocery stores or restaurants within walking distance, and a return trip by taxi to English Harbour is only slightly less than the daily cost of a car. I would highly recommend both Antigua and Peter and Martine’s villa. We had a lovely holiday, and hope to return in the not too distant future.
