I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms at St. James were modern with amazing views, although getting used to the technology was somewhat frustrating. The service was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, making up for the initial hiccups we faced. However, the location was not ideal as it felt deserted after 7 PM, and the dining options were somewhat limited. Overall, the hotel had a great atmosphere, but some areas could definitely use improvement.

This resort is an incredible place to relax and enjoy a beautiful beachfront. The rooms are spacious and clean, with outstanding service from the staff. While the food options are plentiful and delicious, the gym could use some improvements, as it's a bit crowded for multiple resorts.

Overall, this resort offers a delightful experience with well-decorated rooms and exciting entertainment. The staff is friendly and the beachfront location is unbeatable. However, some dining options could be improved, and lounge chairs lacking cushions made relaxation less comfortable.

This resort has beautiful grounds and amazing amenities, particularly the beach and views. Our experience with the staff varied greatly; some were truly fantastic while others left much to be desired. Although the food was hit or miss, our overall stay was still enjoyable. However, the check-in process was a long ordeal, which started our trip off on a bad note.
