Mostly like to say it was not a place for kids, so no kids. I love kids, but it was nice to have only adults around. We have no complaints whatsoever about our stay. Staff was courteous, friendly and out of their way helpful. Ask for Mary!!!!!!

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!

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!

This place is an absolute hidden gem, truly one-of-a-kind and far beyond what we expected. I'm genuinely surprised it doesn’t have more reviews, because it deserves to be recognized for how exceptional it is. From the moment we arrived, we were completely captivated by the scenery—it’s like stepping into a postcard or a beautifully filmed nature documentary. The location is simply breathtaking, with crystal-clear waters that are hands down the most beautiful we’ve ever seen. We traveled with two toddlers, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They were kind, patient, and incredibly accommodating, which made our stay all the more enjoyable and relaxing. The warmth and hospitality we experienced here were second to none. Words truly fall short in capturing the peace and beauty of this place. It’s the kind of destination you want to keep to yourself, yet feel compelled to share because it’s just that special. We feel so fortunate to have discovered it. This is without a doubt one of the best-kept secrets we’ve ever come across.

If you’re daydreaming about ditching crowds for empty beaches and that crazy blue water you see in postcards, Stocking Island in the Exumas is your spot. And trust me, you’ve gotta check out Saint Francis Resort. Picture this: You walk into your room, fling open the balcony doors, and BAM—the ocean slaps you in the face (in the best way). Miles of perfect sand, zero people. They’ll even boat you to secret mini-islands where it’s just you, some coconuts, and maybe a curious seagull. Swim with pigs? Check. Glide with stingrays? Yep. Watch your kids lose their minds over starfish and sand dollars? Absolutely. It’s like someone dumped a NatGeo documentary into your vacation. Pro tip: Bring waterproof phone cases. Your Instagram will thank you. Leslie picks me up from the airport. Then Chacho zooms me across water so clear you’ll question reality. Desmond hands me a rum punch before you even say "hello." Chef PG is a wizard. His mahi-mahi?Tastes like he caught it that morning (he probably did). Lobster so juicy you’ll lick the plate. And that conch salad? You’ll try to recreate it at home and fail miserably. Eat it every day—it’s the law. Mr Wang and Marie? Legends. Want a private beach dinner? Done. Kid wants to fish at sunrise? They’ll find a rod. This isn’t just a trip—it’s the story you’ll annoy friends with for years.

Excellent choice to get away from it all

What a wonderful place to get away from everything. The beaches are magnificant, the views from the rooms are breathtaking, the restaurant "Snappy Turtle" is spot on with food and drink and everyone that works here is as warm, friendly and attentive as can be. You will not be dissapointed.
