My Best Day at St James’s Club Resort, Antigua
I woke up in this. This glorious bed that was so huge I could sleep and wriggle around without even disturbing the carefully made sheet on the other side. Lording it up at the St James’s Club Resort Antigua.
With jet lag meaning I was up at 5am every day (wish I was that awake in the UK) I could sit on the balcony and do a bit of work before the day really began, listening to the birds and feeling a bit Mary Poppins-esque as I did. Of course, no other holiday makers were doing that, people come to St James’s Club to RELAX.

St James’s Club is a 4-star all inclusive on the peninsula of Antigua. It’s part of Elite Island Resorts who have all inclusive Caribbean luxury beach resorts in Antigua, St. Lucia, Barbados, Tortola and The Grenadines. I stayed at the St James’ Club in St Lucia about two years ago. This time though, it’s all about Antigua…

Breakfast feed
I was at the a la carte Coco Restaurant with Jayne from GirlTweetsWorld, and we’d been discussing what would actually fit in the toaster. This was definitely one of those day 5 conversations you have when it’s just been the two of you all week.
She told me to put the banana bread in and, as I always did when friends told me to do stupid stuff at school, obeyed. Cue the next few minutes trying to poke the sticky banana bread out with a salad server thing without firstly, getting electrocuted, secondly, it setting on fire, thirdly, letting staff or other diners see what we were doing. Go me, mission accomplished.
We followed this up with the a la carte Eggs Benedict you see above.
That wasn’t the best breakfast though…
Bacon and soft cheese bagels became our signature breakfast of the holiday, with a bit of the local Susie’s Hot Sauce for me. Eaten 2 days out of the 3 at the buffet Rainbow restaurant – it meant you could stuff it with as much bacon as you liked, yum.
Morning fun
They run a few day activities at St James’s Club Resort, the best of them though was the Float Fit class. The only place in the Caribbean to have the facilities, we were well up for the challenge at 9:30am. The goal, I think, was to have fun and stay on the board while doing a succession of balances and exercises.
Totally nailed it, until I started to show off…
It was a mix of yoga and HIIT exercise, on a board, on water. What could go wrong?
