We had a wonderful stay at Sandals! The owners and staff were extremely efficient and friendly and made us very welcome. Our bedroom and bathroom were both beautifully appointed and spacious. Breakfast was great! Sandals Guest House is in a perfect position; a five minute stroll to both the beach and the village centre. Easy parking. Lovely gardens surrounding the... More

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and found Sandals GH to have a "perfect position" for St Francis Bay exploration! We are so close to the beach and some lovely restaurants are a short safe stroll away. "Paradise in the Eastern Cape" - you said it and we totally agree with you! Come back one day... More

Despite our rather late arrival we were greeted with a warm welcome and helped to our wonderful family room. The accomodation was first class and perfect for the four of us. The children were delighted with their upstairs sleeping area. St Francis Bay has a choice of excellent restaurants and a table had been reserved for us by Tess at... More

We arrived from Plettenberg Bay to this little haven in St Francis Bay, we had a suite in a seperate building in the garden which has recently been renovated and is absolutely beautiful. The pool, communal areas and 'honesty bar' are also very relaxed and nicely done. Tess and Heather could not have been more helpful, both with recommendations for... More

So happy to hear my staff are attentive and thoughtful enough to spot when our guests are suffering and help accordingly. Thanks for your lovely praise of our establishment and service. St Francis Bay is an ideal base to be able to explore further afield...and then return to a haven where you can still relax in natural, peaceful, safe and... More

A beautiful setting right near the beach and with Tess and her team ensuring everything goes like clockwork, Sandals exudes that feeling of homeliness and serenity at the same time as delivering on exceptional service and food. We will be back!

Arrived in sleepy St Francis Bay towards the end of the day. We found Sandals and checked in. We were told that after 7pm there would be no one on reception and to let ourselves come and go as necessary. I'm not sure what would have happened if we had arrived after 7pm!! It was a Sunday evening and only... More

It is a pity that you felt there was NO attention given to you at Sandals GH. Maybe you both just exuded an air of disinterest on your arrival, with your surroundings, with me (yes I was there and could not understand how you found only 1 restaurant open) and with my staff all the time...I am not sure? But... More

Although hard to find in St Francis Sandals was a treat. The room was comfortable with an outside balcony. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and gluten free bread was provided. The town was quiet and peaceful. The only drawback was the staff were not on site overnight.
