A lovely get away it was. Friendly stuff, great location. Excellent rooms. The little good night notes were special as well.

Great location for us - visiting family close by. Close to sea and great spot to watch sunsets. Did not get to eat is restaurant but looked good.

We stayed overnight on June 2025, and oh boy — we felt so spoilt from the moment we arrived! The thoughtful touches made all the difference: a warm welcome card in our room, cozy tuckdown service, gowns and slippers laid out on the bed with a “sleep tight” card, and even farewell cookies for our trip home. The bed was very comfortable, and breakfast was served in a stunning glass-walled restaurant with panoramic views of the beach and sea. The setting was peaceful, and the food was delicious. It’s also just a short drive to several popular restaurants. We highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking for a relaxing and pampered stay.

Hotel room and pool was nice but would not recommend staying here and definitely would not recommend eating here, the food was terrible! My oysters were completely frozen and when I asked for new ones they brought out half frozen ones. My husband’s fish was also inedible, it tasted horrendous and was so rubbery. On check out they charged us the full price for the meal (apart from the fish) including the salad that went with my husband fish. Following this disappointing stay we arrived at our Safari and waiting for us there on reception was the bill from the Sands as the payment hadn’t gone through. This could have had this emailed to us or sent through or agent but instead put a downer on our arrival at Pumba. We were also a honeymoon couple and they had no idea about this on arrival. Very disappointed with this stay!

Unser Aufenthalt im The Sands @ St Francis war einfach traumhaft. Die Lage des Hotels ist einzigartig – direkt am Sandstrand von St Francis Bay mit atemberaubendem Blick auf den Indischen Ozean. Schon beim Aufwachen hörten wir das beruhigende Rauschen der Wellen und konnten vom privaten Balkon aus Delfine beobachten.  Die Zimmer sind großzügig geschnitten, stilvoll eingerichtet und bieten luxuriöse Annehmlichkeiten wie eine Whirlpool-Badewanne, Fußbodenheizung und eine private Terrasse. Der Service war herausragend – das Personal war stets freundlich, aufmerksam und hilfsbereit. Besonders hervorzuheben sind die liebevollen Details wie handgeschriebene Karten und kleine Aufmerksamkeiten auf dem Zimmer. Das Frühstück war köstlich mit hausgemachten Backwaren und frischen Zutaten.   Die Umgebung lädt zu Spaziergängen am Strand und Erkundungstouren in der Natur ein.  Wir können The Sands @ St Francis wärmstens empfehlen und freuen uns schon auf unseren nächsten Besuch in diesem kleinen Paradies.

Had two nights here in spacious rooms opening up to ocean views and just steps from the beach. Everything inside was “tasteful rustic” and comfortable. The dining area in the morning looked out over the ocean. We had dinner at the hotel on the first night as we arrived about 5pm. It was so good we decided to dine there the second night. Staff were very friendly and helpful. All in all - would I stay here again? Absolutely.
