This place is a GEM!! Huge rooms facing ocean waves on one side and a fabulous outside dining area facing a picturesque marina on the other. The food and the service is fantastic!! You feel instantly like part of the family!! I can see why people we met there come back year after year....🙏
Every room faces the ocean and a beautiful 4 mile deserted beach. We didn't run in to more than 5 people in our morning beach walks on this spectacular beach. For breakfast we headed to the hotel deck which overlooks Georgetown Harbor -- a peaceful and wonderful start to the day with great hospitality from Gil. Take a kayak over to Chat 'n Chill bar to mingle, enjoy some drinks and ribs, or just lie on the beach. Catch the Lumina Point, Exuma, Bahamas YouTube drone footage to see how spectacular it is. Comfortable accommodations and very good food. You can't beat the combination of ocean front rooms and on the other side a dining deck overlooking a beautiful bay. Thank you George and Gil for an excellent stay!
Family run facility on Stocking Island. We enjoyed the Bahamian style meals, the poker games, the bar and Gillian and George who run the place. We visited by boat so cannot comment on th rooms. Can say that the beach is lovely.
We rented a boat from Minns in Georgetown and spent the day in Elizabeth Harbour. We pulled up to St. Francis and docked our boat and went up for lunch. It's a great elevated view and it took about an hour from when we sat down to when we left. We ordered a couple pizzas, my son ordered some wings, and my mom got a burger. All of our food was really good. The owner came out and was visiting with the guests making sure everyone was well taken care of. It was nice to finish our meal, head back down to the dock, and jump into our boat. Just around the corner is a hidden underwater cave filled with beautiful exotic fish, perfect for snorkeling. It was a great stop, definitely worth seeking out if you aren't staying here and have a boat!
Oh my, this hotel is AMAZING!! My boyfriend and I staid two nights and had the best time. George and Jill (the hotel owners) are kind, welcoming, and great to chat with. ( thank you again for everything!)
The Hotel/ room: The landscape is unreal. There are eight rooms on the island surrounded by tons of greenery. The rooms themselves were clean, had good AC, and comfortable beds. There was not a tv in the room, and I’m not sure about WiFi. The decor was a little dated and there was minimal travel toiletries samples to use. Very minimalistic which we expected. In the morning continental breakfast was brought to our room. Our balcony overlooked the ocean which was 100% the best part.
The amenities: they allow you to borrow their snorkels and kayaks which you totally should. There was a snorkeling cave 5 mins from the hotel where so many colorful fish hung out. We also pattled over to the chat and chill which was a blast. ( I could write an entire separate review how rad this place was!!!)
The beach: literally I’ve never seen anything like it, pictures don’t even do it justice how beautiful it was. There were very few people around so most the time you felt you were on your own private island.
The food: this was a little tricky, because the one restaurant on the island opened about 7 and closed pretty early. Make sure you eat when it’s open or bring snacks ( the rooms have microwaves and mini fridges) and stock up on the water.(!!!!!!) This honestly was my only complaint, but if you go in knowing this isn’t a problem.
The vibe: keep in mind when booking this place, there are only 7 other rooms on the island; if you’re looking for a wild party to meet a lot of new people or rage your face off, don’t come here. We felt it was a PERFECT romantic couples get-away to relax and enjoy the outdoors. It was so mellow, peaceful, and relaxing. Don’t get us wrong though, we enjoyed some drinks with some new friends for sure!
Overall we had the best time. We can’t stop reminiscing about how amazing our stay was and how much fun we had. Thank you George and Jill again for everything we can’t wait to come back!!
