St. James’s Club & Villas is an upscale all-inclusive resort on 45 acres of land overlooking the Caribbean Sea and tranquil Mamora Bay. Though it’s an established name on the island, the 280 rooms are modern and feature tropical decor, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and furnished balconies. Multiple-bedroom villas upgrade to kitchens and living areas. The six outdoor pools are divided between family-friendly and adult-only sections of the resort. There are six restaurants (one is outside the all-inclusive plan), five bars, two white-sand beaches, a lovely spa, a modern gym, and four tennis courts. Water sports and kids’ activities are included, as is Wi-Fi in designated public areas (it costs extra in rooms). For an all-suite property with similar amenities and a stronger family-centric vibe, guests might consider The Verandah Resort & Spa - All Inclusive.
