Top St. James Hotel Reviews

Oceaneer

10/10 Excellent

"The Oceaneer was actually nicer than we expected. The room was nicely updated and clean, just steps away from the beach and the pool was awesome. Great value for the price. We’ll definitely return"

The Sand Dunes

8/10 Good

"They advertise that they have kitchens but they all do not. The bathtub does not drain so we had to stand in water to take a shower. The staff did not want to help us bc we booked through Expedia. But I’m sure she still could have given us a different room. We had a great time the pool was great and location was wonderful. Housekeepers were friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back but get a diffrent room."
