Family oriented hotel. Catered to families with kids. Great views and friendly staff. Everything was clean. I suggest staying on an upper floor as you will hear every footstep from the exterior to the inside of the rooms.

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.

Didn’t get in to room until 4:25. Garbage still on patio. Walls are very thin. I don’t remember a $700. suite that has these issues. I wish it were different-it’s beautiful.
