Hotel peaked years ago. Staff is very arrogant - had reserved a king bed months and months ago and they didnt have any . Constant weddings and such loud music from the weddings late into the night. Food overpriced. Not worth the high price tag . Do airbnb or Verbo. This is a pass

This resort is exquisite. It is located directly on the beach but also seems like it is in a jungle or Forest. The property is extremely well maintained and the staff was exceptional. We were given a room that we weren't exactly pleased with and they were able to accommodate our needs and provide us with a different room. We loved being able to walk around the property with our small child. I would come back anytime.

The Sanctuary was a perfect family vacation!

The Sanctuary was one of the best places I have ever stayed at. It was very nice and elegant yet was not stuffy at all. We were all very comfortable on the property. The amenities were good. Lots of kids activities. The beach is quiet and clean. Service was impeccable. It will cost you though! Everything is very pricey

For the type of resort it was very surprising to see so many screaming little kids running in the hallways everywhere. Made it impossible to relax. Need to put rules around that for those parents that allow this behavior.

Beautiful Resort

Beautiful property and the staff are exceptional. One note for anyone traveling without a vehicle to the property, you need to pre-arrange transportation for your departure. We didn't realize this and almost missed our flight out of Charleston.

Sanctuary Has it All

The Sanctuary is one of country’s premier locations. Beautiful hotel with huge lobbies and hallways tastefully decorated.
An ocean view from almost any place on the property.
Spacious rooms well appointed.
Best of all 5 terrific golf courses .

I will say that if you have not had the opportunity to stay at the Sanctuary put it on your list! It is beautiful hotel, location and great service! Hotel is right on the Atlantic Ocean and it is a 3 minute walk from the hotel and the sunrises and sunsets are beautiful.
I could go on and on, just make it a place to go even if it is just for a couple of days, stunning!

Superior Hospitality

While this resort is beautiful, world-class, it is the staff- Kristan and Veronica at the restaurant and Charles (Charlie?) who gave us insights on the art there who truly made our brief stay memorable and exceptional.

It's a Monday in the middle of February. What could go wrong? Everything. Look the indidivual staff people are nice. But the concierge \"desk' never answers the phone. They never made our dinner reservation. But worst of all, the \"Ocean\" view is in this dingy corner and you'd need the neck of a giraffe to see the water. They say they have no room to move me--even though I could roll a bowling ball down this place, it's so empty. Bottom line; they just don't want to make people happy.

I requested a warm plate for the buffet breakfast, was told warm plates are only available when ordering off the menu!!
No grab rails in ‘marble’ bathroom/shower seems dangerous, a fall risk.
The pull on the ceiling fan was inaccessible without standing on a chair, again a fall risk.
