Our long weekend stay was perfect. I imagine it’s a little noisy in the summer (we could hear the people in the next room as well as people in the hall), but the beds were comfortable (lots of pillow choices!), the private deck perfect, the bathroom fantastic, and the public areas wonderfully well appointed!

I am blown away by the sanderling. What a beautiful resort. I understand it needs some updates and will undergo a renovation in November, but this hotel is absolutely wonderful. Beachfront with many dining options and remains chic and timeless. We will be coming every year now.
