St James's Club, Mamora Bay, Antigua

we stayed at this resort in 2009, the first time we had tried an all inclusive deal. My teenagers had a wonderful time and would love to go back, citing the hotel catamaran trip the best, We went out for the day twice. Also the free watersports were always available with a safe sailing area. Most relaxing time, food and drink good and plentiful, evenings quieter but that was fine for us. Free wifi in the lobby was useful to keep up with home and facebook for kids. would definitely recommend.

Mumsnetters' comments; Reviewers loved this resort: "the best holiday we've had with the kids." A stunning location, it's "hard to tear yourself away from the hotel" but "it's worth exploring this lovely island." The hotel pool is "fantastic" and the beach "perfect for kids, sloping gently into the sea." The kids club is "efficient and well run"; "if you wanted to you could not see your kids for two weeks, but it's also great if you just want a couple of hours off." With "warm and friendly service", the consensus seems to be: "expensive, but worth saving up for."
