The location can’t be beat - waking up to the crashing Ocean waves - turquoise water and pristine white sand - feeling like we have the beach to ourselves.. on the other side the marina and easy access to kayaks to explore creeks, a snorkeling hole and a beach with sting rays. Marie with guest services helped us find the perfect full day tour replete with sharks, iguanas, snorkeling and a gorgeous sand bank, and set us up with a rental car for a day on the mainland to explore little Exuma and the Tropic of Cancer beach. All meals were delicious and fresh - lobster, snapper, mahi mahi, and plenty of great options for kids too and fresh fruit and vegetables. It was amazing!!

The bed was a teeny bit soft/ small for my very tall husband.

It was a beautiful, peaceful little getaway. My room was a mini houseboat, which was awesome. You can explore the island, lounge around in the water or kayak. Chat n Chill is a short kayak away and has sting rays waiting to be fed in the beautiful water. It was a lovely trip!

Be prepared that everything closes early lol. The grocery/liquor stores are on the mainland and you should stock up upon arrival (also pricey $$$). I wouldn't call this spot a party/late night environment. Staying on the house boat was great because after dinner and such- just sitting around the deck felt like "doing something". Also the island has some kind of rooster that cuckoos around 4 AM then again around 5. It was hilarious!

Great location. Easy to get around to all parts of the island, beaches and things to do via boat service offered. Staff are amazing! Food was delicious and great value. Perfect place to unwind and connect with nature and the beauty of the Exumas.

This is a lovely simple island resort. If you want nightlife and TV this isn’t the place for you. Bring a book , enjoy meeting other residents and get lots of R&R.

Loved the houseboats (although bed was small), surroundings, kayaking to Chat ‘N Chill and the Coconut Club, daytrip was beautiful, staff was very welcoming

Appreciate that all the food must be shipped, but the quality compared to the prices of the food and drinks at the restaurant was out of proportion (would expect much better quality). Could be bumpy on the housebout (but still loved it, as said above)

Fabulous experience at The St. Francis Resort! The staff was exceptional and super accommodating to all of our needs. The location was unreal! Stocking Island is a "sliver" island so the resort's location lets you go out your front door to walk to the ocean side (a stone's throw away) to see the sunrise or your back door (quick trek down a short path) to the "other" side for sunset. The food was outstanding with fresh fish on the menu every night. If you're looking for a non-touristy type place, The St. Francis is it! I would highly recommend.

Honestly, everything was great. Any concerns we had were addressed promptly. The water taxi to the "mainland" worked seamlessly. The resort had a super chill vibe, which was exactly what we were looking for.

All meals were very good. We tried quite a variety and none disappointed. The view from our room was exceptional. The beautiful beach is steps from your room. The entire staff is amazing and always available to assist. Everyone we encountered was so helpful and made us feel right at home❤️ I explored the Island a lot and found so many hidden treasures .. so much to see!! St. Francis offers, pure beauty in a simple rustic, completely laid-back vibe. This is exactly what we were looking for. I will be back.

It would be nice if there were more beach recliners and umbrellas on the ocean side but I completely understand why not, as the current comes in quite far at high tide. We came prepared with sand towels to bring anywhere we went.

The room porch overlooking the ocean! It is an especially beautiful location. Lovely staff; particularly Bri, Mari, Arista, and Julia.

Not a fault of the property, but the biting insects after sunset are voracious. Bring insect repellent!

Loved the location, restaurant, kayak availability and houseboat!

Loved our view until a charter yacht pulled in and docked right in front of us blocking the view. GM at marina was helpful in listening to our complaint and keeping us updated as to what happened to cause this issue.

The room had the Atlantic Ocean view with beach access, a comfy bed, attentive staff, and a complimentary water taxi. They also have complimentary kayaks that we could use, and we kayaked along Stocking Island. Loved pretty much everything about this place! Wish we stayed longer!

The restaurant was a bit slow at service... but I guess it's island time!

Everything was amazing, we loved our stay at the resort. The bed was comfy and the room was clean. Check-in and check-out were organized. The food in the restaurant was amazing!!! We would stay here again!!

Everything was great. The only thing I would change is to have a more flexible schedule for breakfast and dinner and have more options/fruits for breakfast.
