What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Options

I was truly impressed with the variety of restaurants available at Secrets St. James. Each dining experience was unique and delicious. My husband and I particularly loved the Italian restaurant, Portofino, where we indulged in a wide array of appetizers and delicious entrees. Everything we ordered was flavorful, especially the lasagna! The high-quality meals throughout our stay definitely enhanced our vacation.

Relaxing Spa Experience

During my stay, I treated myself to a wonderful massage at the on-site spa. The ambiance was soothing, and the therapist was both professional and skilled. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day exploring. I left feeling rejuvenated and ready for the rest of my vacation. I would highly recommend booking a spa treatment when you visit.

Comfortable Room Amenities

The room we stayed in was fantastic! It featured a comfy bed, a spacious balcony, and a jetted soaker tub that was perfect for relaxing after a long day. I appreciated the double sink vanity and clean, well-stocked fridge. The iPad in the room, which allowed us to order room service and explore resort info, was a convenient touch that made our stay even more enjoyable.

Overall, my stay at Secrets St. James was fantastic! From the impeccable service and breathtaking views to the variety of dining options, I had an unforgettable experience. However, I did notice some cleanliness issues in the room and a few areas that could use some improvement. Still, the all-inclusive package offered great value, and I can't wait to return!

6.8/10

We had an interesting stay at this resort. The upgrade to an ocean view room was a lovely surprise, and the cleanliness of the room was impressive. However, the food left us wanting more, and navigating such a large resort was tiresome. It's a fun place with plenty of activities, but there are definitely some drawbacks in terms of dining options.

Rooms

8.0

The ocean view room we received was super clean and comfortable, although being close to the elevator was a bit noisy at times.

Service

7.0

The service was friendly, and the staff worked hard, but there were some moments where things could have been smoother, especially at the water sports office.

Location

7.0

The resort is beautiful and well-kept, but be prepared for a lot of walking to get to dining options, as most are on the Wild Orchid side.

Dining

5.0

Dining was a letdown for us; we struggled to find meals we enjoyed, and having to walk far for better options was frustrating.

Facilities

7.0

The facilities were good, with lots of activities available, but the layout can be confusing and tiring due to the size of the resort.

6.6/10

Overall, my experience at the resort was quite memorable. The beach views were stunning, and the access to various activities like paddle boarding was a definite plus. However, we faced a significant issue with our room not being ready upon arrival, which cast a shadow over our first day. While the facilities and spa services were enjoyable, the beach area was not as spacious as I had hoped.

Rooms

7.0

The room we eventually received was very clean and spacious, featuring a comfortable bed, a jetted soaker tub, and a roomy balcony. However, we did encounter a disturbing surprise with a handprint in the shower that remained unresolved during our stay.

Service

7.0

Service was a mixed bag. While some staff, like our butler Devon, were genuinely attentive and went out of their way to enhance our experience, others fell short, particularly in addressing our concerns about the room cleanliness.

Location

6.0

Located near beautiful spots, the resort offered numerous activities. However, the beach area felt limited and separated by various small sections, which was disappointing.

Dining

7.0

Dining options were enjoyable overall, especially the breakfast, but the variety could use some improvement. I appreciated the Jamaican food offerings, though I wished for a wider selection at every meal.

Facilities

6.0

The amenities were decent, with a clean and inviting spa area. However, the gym was too small for the number of guests, making it hard to find a time to work out. Other activities like the entertainment were repetitive, which took away from the experience.

7.2/10

I had a decent stay overall, but there were definitely some highs and lows. The staff was friendly and the grounds were well-maintained, which added to the beauty of the resort. However, I found the dining options inconsistent, and the room had some issues with dampness that could be better addressed. The beach area was nice but often crowded with loungers being claimed early by other guests.

Rooms

The pool area was enjoyable but often filled with loud, boisterous groups which overshadowed the relaxing atmosphere we were hoping for.
