The warm hospitality at Sandals is just lovely. A home from home. Our rooms were big, clean and very comfortable and your every need is taken care of - so accomodating. Eating breakfast outside on the patio by the pool is such a relaxing experience and we just loved the "Caribbean pancakes" as we dubbed them - various kinds but... More

We only stayed one night at Sandals as we were on our way to Port Elizabeth airport, however it was a quiet relaxing place to stay. When we arrived our room wasn't ready but we were given a nice cool drink and some information about the local area including a recommendation for evening meal at the local fish restaurant. Our...

Warm welcome, clean and comfy rooms (we were given an upgrade because they weren't busy) and delicious breakfast. Pool area was lovely and not far from the sea. We stayed here because of its proximity to Port Elizabeth airport (just an hour's drive) but did feel St Francis Bay was a little sterile. This pretty and hospitable guest house made... More

3 couples, nearing retirement, travelling towards Port Elizabeth prior to Safari could not work out why our travel organiser gave us a stop over at this some what out of the way location until we got there.

We had the best welcome ever, from Tess, the owner, when arriving at this unique guest house. We were early so our room was not ready but we were given lovely hot coffee and homemade biscuits and Tess had time to tell us about the area and where to visit. We were definately not dissapointed with our room when we... More

This place just oozes relaxation! A really cute house all under thatch with a pretty garden and pool. Very handy for the village and its restaurants and only a short walk to the most amazing perfect beach! Our room on the first floor had its own little balcony and dining table. Whilst every house in the village is painted white... More

The owners and their staff run a really lovely guest house. The welcome its personal and the room was clean and pleasant. We had a nice dinner in the evening of the 1 night we stayed - a traditional Braai cooked by Ryszard, accompanied by excellent salads and veg from Tess.

We stayed for 5 nights in Sandals Guest House in December 2011 as we journeyed along the Garden Route from Port Elizabeth to Capetown, and we will not forget the wonderful time we had in both Sandals and St Francis Bay. The owners Tess and Ryszard run a beautiful hotel with very professional, attentive and friendly staff. Taps and Heather... More
