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.

Second stay and even better than the first. Lovely staff and rooms. Great location on the dunes, right off Hwy 1. My only complaint is parking for hotel guests. There is public parking with beach access that takes away from guests, which also opens up to non-guests using the fire pits.
