Wonderful experience! The staff was super helpful and attentive. The room had a lovely feel to it with a nice view of the ocean and lots of little extras. We loved the restaurant on the property and the in-room breakfast. Wish the pool was a little hotter, but I was still able to enjoy it and it’s probably will be perfect for warmer weather. We’re definitely coming back when we are in the area! I recommend this place.

Sanctuary is one of my favorite resorts, not just b/c of the beauty of the hotel and the uniqueness of lodging on the beach, but because Guest Services is 10/10! From check-in, room service, the Salt Wood restaurant, to special requests, the staff is outstanding and provides an amazing experience.
