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. 🌊🐾

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 However, I did experience some drawbacks, including outdated facilities and inconsistent service.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.
Rooms

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.

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.

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.

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 There were cleanliness issues and some outdated furnishings that didn't match the resort's expectations for a higher price point.

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.
