Excellent location with Hotel backing onto the lovely beach. Our room on ground floor had access to pool and beach with beautiful views from the bedroom. Our very friendly hosts Dwane and Rudy were very attentive and friendly. Food (Brekkie and Dinner) were also excellent. Well worth a visit especially for special occasions or any time for that matter !!

This small guest house is located in a stunning position with sizable well presented bedrooms.The staff whilst friendly were not well trained and we had different cooks on the two nights that we stayed in the housewith varying results.However if like us you are on a touring holiday the Sands provided us with perfect relaxation between safari and long road...

This was the 4th stop on our trip from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth and the first that was a real disappointment.  I had my suspicions when a friendly young man welcomed us as we drove in mid afternoon. Apparently the manager had just left for the day. The car park was cramped and hard to manoeuvre around.   The... More

We stopped here for one night at the beginning of March. Due to hotel capacity we stayed up the road at Heath House. We were greeted warmly at both the main Hotel and at HH, where Pam had made biscuits, which were immediately served with tea. The room we were shown to was massive, with an utterly sublime view across... More

The location on the ocean is simply wonderful and you will never find more accommodating staff. Opening the sliding glass doors to the sound of the ocean right in front of you is incredible or eating your gourmet breakfast and looking out and counting the waves is a great experience.. My only regret is that we only spent one night... More

Although small, the Sands at St Francis Bay was everything we had hoped for. An excellent room, beautifully furnished and equipped, looking out over the sea. Delicious food, very helpful staff, and amazing value for money. St Francis Bay is a lit tle gem - quiet, very pretty, with a wonderful beach. Brilliant!

Just come back home from 2 nights stay at this fantastic hotel. Book yourelf a pool side room and look out over the Indian Ocean with uninterupted views, unbelievable and dream like. The restaurant/breakfast room gives panoramic ocean views from every table and the food is top notch. On top of all this it is hard to imagine a more... More

We were only able to book two nights at the Sands which was a great shame as we loved the place. From the excellent sea view from our bedroom through the special meals and the freindly and efficient staff , this small hotel was everything we could have asked for. The only thing that disappointed us , was that the... More

We stayed one happy weekend at The Sands and loved the place. Situated just above the tide line, we went for long walks on the Indian Ocean shore, had fabulous meals at the Sands restaurant, had free wifi to our hearts' content and savoured carefully thought out breakfasts in the beautiful dining room, overlooking the waves. Staff were very dedicated... More
