A discreet, beautifully appointed beach house with spectacular views over the Indian Ocean. Bright, airy, colourful decor with incredibly well equipped immacutely clean rooms. Our large room had a very comfortable king size bed with good pillows, plenty of storage space and a comfortable sofa to lounge on. Each room has a Lavazza Espresso machine (wonderful coffee), fresh milk, full mini bar with lots of treats. Luxurious bathroom with large shower, a large jacuzzi bath, and lots of toiletries including lovely bath salts. No noise other than the sound of the sea! Large sitting out areas with 2 swimming pools, hot tub and direct access to a secluded part of the beach. Dinner is a treat - although there are restaurants in the area we would thoroughly recommend eating in for choice, taste and value for money. Excellent service, Paul is attentive and enthusiastic, the menu provided a choice of fresh cooked food, obviously the superb chef runs the kitchen very well. Good wines at sensible prices, great ambience at dinner, again with breathtaking views of the ocean. Breakfast was a great experience, again great choice of hot and cold foods, hot food made to order. Very helpful hosts, Heidi was on duty and is charming and a credit to her profession. Secure parking. We wish we could have stayed longer and shall do next time. St Francis Bay is a very unique location in the Eastern Cape in South Africa, up market, peaceful, interesting properties, much to see in the area and a lovely beach. The Sands entirely justifys its 5 star rating.
