First time here and fell in love with it. The staff is the best, the private beach all to yourself is the best. Be aware, you are on a private island, which is limited to options for dining, but absolutely the best experience and stay we’ve had here. Definitely doing it again!

The Saint Francis resort was a perfect choice for our recent family trip. We had our 3 kids along being ages 16, 14 and 11. I had warned them it wasn’t a lavish resort and it was going to be a nice relaxing vacation. Relaxing is exactly what it was! From what we saw, the oceanside at any given time had a maximum of 10 people in view. And at most times it was just us on the beach. The staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. Shout out to Shantel, Desmond, Torez, Kara, Delly, Mary, Stafford and Chacho! You all made it a great memorable family vacation and I thank you for that. The food was great! Our 11 year old really enjoyed eating like a king! If you want a private beach and relaxing resort that delivers great hospitality, this one is for you! Thanks again!

This place was perfect if you needed to be somewhere remote, away from the hustle and bustle. The food was awesome, and the staff was very polite. The one thing I would definitely suggest is to spruce up the resort a bit and remove the construction debris from the rooms facing the beach, where the balcony is located. Overall, we enjoyed our stay! Thank you staff. We also enjoyed our boat rides with cha cha.

The property is in a Beautiful location. Snorkeling around the property is very nice. The staff at the restaurant were great but seating is limited. The offer was open for transport to the big island often throughout the day. The view from the sea view rooms is outstanding. Room Air was perfect, dining depended on time of day and population. The biggest issue was lack of water pressure that got extreme at times. We would do it all over again and probably will.

Simply put, an amazing staff. They all were friendly, courteous, and above all, accommodating. The views from all sides of the resort are spectacular and cannot be topped. The views from our room overlooked the bay side and the colors of the water were unreal. A few steps (literally) to the other side of the resort and there was the most spectacular beach and ocean views. The majority of the people using this beach were hotel guests so it was basically a private beach. Cannot speak highly enough of this place, the staff and my time there.

We stayed on one of their houseboats and, though small, it was charming. It was very basic but had everything you would need except storage but that wasn't a problem. Not that a short person might have trouble with the lights because the switches are on the ceiling. I'm 5'6" and could just reach. The staff was FANTASTIC. They anticipated every need from having dinner waiting for us when we arrived 2 hours later than planned to organizing the arrival and departure so they were hassle free. I would highly recommend this resort but also note that it helps if you rent a boat while there - the kayaks are a great way to get around nearby but for a greater distance, a motor is essential.

Not worth the money spent. Rooms are basic but require a full renovation (and should be cleansed) The boat going from/to the hotel is not reliable. You cannot choose when you want to do what. And when he is late, it is always because of the guests. Super long wait for munch or dinner. Will not come back.

Fantastic location! We loved the people and the staff was super nice! Breakfast was great and the hot breakfast option was a plus!! The food was amazing (lunch and dinner). I think they were understaffed as the service was very slow after our first day, specially for drink orders. Being so hot outside, we would appreciate if drinks were brought sooner. Our only other complaint was the mosquitos!! It was quite insane! Better spraying of the property would make for a better dining experience. Bring bug spray! Haha. With that said, we LOVED stocking Island and every single staff..Marvin, Shay, Desmond and the others I can remember by name-- you made us feel at home and you are genuinely incredible humans! We loved the snorkling masks Marvin lended to us! It was incredible exploring the Island and being able to see underwater. The Blue Hole, Starfish beach, and Chat n Chill are a must! Property offers Kayaks (first come first serve, but there is enough). George Town is has great souvenirs and for getting snacks and drinks to bring back to the resort. Everywhere you go is either by water taxi provided at no cost by the property - (tip Chancho well, he is awesome), or by Kayak. We kayaked to both Chat n chill and the Blue Hole. It was lovely and we hope to come back someday!! THANK YOU everyone!!! We loved the Bahamas!
