I had a beautiful experience at Sanctuary Beach Resort, with stunning views right on the beach. However, the room could use some updates, and the lack of drawers made unpacking difficult. The restaurant left something to be desired, particularly the room service, which was inconsistent and pricey. 🌊🐾

The resort could use better facilities in terms of room amenities, especially since both the spa and pool were closed during my visit. The welcome drink was a nice touch.

My stay at Sanctuary Beach Resort was a mix of highs and lows. The oceanfront location was beautiful, but the chilly weather made it hard to fully enjoy. While the rooms were clean and spacious, I found some issues with service and the dining options that were disappointing, especially given the high rates. Overall, I had a relaxing trip, but I expected more from a resort boasting luxury features.

My stay at Sanctuary Beach Resort was mostly enjoyable due to its stunning ocean views and accessible beach. However, I did experience some drawbacks, including outdated facilities and inconsistent service. While the restaurant had potential, my room service experience fell short due to limited options. Overall, the beauty of the location made it a nice getaway, but the pricing felt a bit steep for the value received.

I stayed in an Ocean View Deluxe Room on the second floor, which offered amazing views of the ocean—waking up to the sound of the waves was pure bliss. However, the room itself felt a bit dated, and I noticed it could use some modernization.

While many staff members were friendly and went above and beyond, I encountered some issues, particularly with room service. I tried to ask for breakfast options but received no answer, which was disappointing.

The location is beautiful and offers easy access to the beach, which I loved. However, there were some unpleasant scents wafting from a nearby area that detracted from the experience at times.
Dining

The on-site restaurant, Salt Wood Oyster Bar, had great potential, especially for breakfast, but my room service options were quite limited and the quality varied. I really enjoyed the breakfast I had at the restaurant itself, which was delicious.
Facilities

The resort had several amenities, but I felt some services, like room service, did not meet expectations. The access to dog walks and other outdoor areas was a plus, though.

The Ocean View Deluxe Room had amazing views but the room layout was a bit odd. I found the bed to be hard and the bathroom lacked counter space, which made it less comfortable.

The resort is perfectly located right on the beach, providing easy access to the sand. It's a bit removed from other attractions, so plan accordingly.

Dining options included room service from Salt Wood Kitchen and Oysterette, which was a highlight of our stay. The food was tasty, but the breakfast options could have been a bit more varied.

Facilities like the evening fire pits added a cozy touch. However, I wished for better amenities in the room itself, as it felt somewhat dated and lacking.

I had high hopes for my stay at Sanctuary Beach Resort, especially given its gorgeous location. but the overall experience was quite disappointing. While the beach views were stunning and the staff's hospitality stood out, the condition of the rooms left much to be desired. There were cleanliness issues and some outdated furnishings that didn't match the resort's expectations for a higher price point.

Rooms
5.0
The rooms felt aged and poorly maintained, with issues like a filthy rug and tattered furniture. One of the rooms I stayed in even had red crumbs in the bathroom and a huge spider, which made me question the cleanliness standard.
Service

While some staff were friendly and eager to help, I encountered a few who seemed inexperienced and uninterested. However, a particular cart driver stood out and made a positive impression with his friendliness and willingness to assist.
Location

The location was ideal, right next to the beautiful beach, which made the trip enjoyable despite the other issues I experienced. The sunsets by the beach were truly amazing.
Dining
5.0
Dining options felt overpriced for the quality, and I did experience food poisoning from a restaurant on the hotel, which really affected my stay. I also noticed a lack of diverse food offerings.
Facilities

The resort offers some good amenities like room service and housekeeping, but the overall maintenance could be improved to match expectations for this level of accommodation.
