Review for St. Francis Resort

St. Francis has some of the nicest docks we have utilized in the Bahamas and stayed six nights. We had four guests join us and rented a houseboat as well to accomodate everyone. Power and water are available. The harbor is well protected from all directions except SW winds. The approach is tricky and shallow, and I would recommend arriving and departing at high tide if you draft more than 3.5 feet. One night at a low positive tide we did bottom out. The restaurant features typical Bahamian options and quality somewhat better than average.
Service was hit and miss depending on who was taking care of you. The two guests in the houseboat received free breakfast, but the four staying on the boat did not. We were paying more for the moorage so that raised our eyebrows. Resort toys and facilities are included and there is excellent access to the Atlantic side of the island. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Kendal (spelling) on the dock was very helpful.
