Location
The Sanctuary Beach Resort is a hotel that's located right on the beach with amazing views of the ocean. The location is perfect with guests commenting that it's beautifully situated in the dunes, somewhat secluded and quiet with the sounds of the ocean providing a soothing backdrop.

The lovely setting and impeccable location are just a few of the reasons why visitors return again and again to stay at this stunning resort.

Breakfast
The Sanctuary Beach Resort offers breakfast delivered straight to your room, which guests loved for its timeliness and convenience. While some found it pricey, others thought it was worth the experience. The meals themselves were described as fantastic and great with some guests even receiving lunch items. However, there were some complaints about the breakfast menu being too limited and expensive with a mandatory delivery fee. Additionally, a few guests noted that the hotel did not provide complimentary breakfast due to COVID-19, though they had advertised it initially. While not everyone was completely satisfied with the breakfast arrangement, the in-room dinner service was enjoyed by many.

Although some guests mentioned that the bed and pillows weren't very comfortable, the majority of reviews suggest that the beds are indeed comfortable. The rooms are a nice size and the linens and pillows are lovely. However, some guests did note that a few rooms could use an upgrade to the mattress, as they were a bit old, springy or saggy. In general, the beds are good and comfortable.

Though some reviewers were disappointed that the pool was closed on their second day or not advertised as closed, they still enjoyed the large hot tub and jacuzzi. Unfortunately, due to Covid regulations, some amenities like the spa and jacuzzis were unavailable, but guests still had a great time. Reviewers noted that the pool infrastructure could use an upgrade, but overall they enjoyed swimming and lounging outdoors.

4 Star
Sanctuary Beach Resort is a beautiful and excellent whale-watching retreat that is situated right on the Marina Dunes. Guests have had a superb and pleasant experience staying at this hotel. With great service and amenities, they feel it is a great visit overall. The location is amazing and the staff is superb. However, some guests feel that the price of the hotel is expensive with a heavy price tag and not the quality you would expect from a "sanctuary resort." They also mention that the price is high and not worth it. Some guests say that the bathroom and bed could be better for the price they paid. Despite this, other guests are happy to return to this hotel and even say it is their fourth stay and will continue. Noise levels are mentioned, but guests wish they could stay longer. Some say the hotel is good, not excellent and they have noticed that the hotel is overpriced compared to previous years. Overall, guests are pleased with the hotel and recommend it if you are willing to pay the price.

Accessible
Sanctuary Beach Resort caters to guests with disabilities by providing handicapped accessible rooms with lower toilets. Although some areas like patio furniture aren't as friendly, the hotel has ADA accessible rooms and the design ensures that only 2 to 4 rooms are in each building. Additionally, though room upgrades could improve the experience, the hotel's location compensates for this. Despite minor issues like a rug with curled edges, visually impaired guests don't have to worry. However, guests should be prepared for the parking area to be quite a distance from their rooms and the hotel could benefit from a larger shop and more towels. All in all, this charming resort is still a great choice for guests with disabilities.

Luxury

Some guests have noted that the resort may not be as luxurious as advertised on the website, but overall, the Sanctuary Beach Resort remains an établissement haut de gamme. So why not indulge in a $$$$$ room and treat yourself to a truly lavish vacation?
