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 resort is in a beautiful location, nearby incredible beaches that have very few visitors. Rooms are clean and comfortable. The new management went to every length to make our stay special. From arranging boat transportation to nearby beaches to providing suggestions for trips or must visit places. Julia and Richard ensured the trip was a special and memorable one. We look forward to returning!

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.

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!

We absolutely loved this property. It is not for everyone I would say, but it was perfect for us. Nothing fancy or fussy here, just clean, well appointed simple rooms but with the most wonderful service and staff, perfect remote beach, daily housekeeping and fresh water and coffee each day in room and the location can't be beat. What it may lack in amenities and flair, it was made up by cleanliness, charm, soft sandy remote practically private beaches, location, service and comfort. I would go back in a heartbeat. It looks like they are in the process of revamping the property and I imagine it will be even better when we go back! Can't wait!
