The resort is truly a unique and amazing property. Located right on the private beach with amenities like nightly bonfires, bocce ball, pool w/ hot tub, spa and an amazing restaurant! The restaurant on property was so spectacular with an open grill and great ambiance and incredible menu. Staff is very attentive and friendly. You move about the property in gold cars with a driver, so fun! Rooms are clean and new - beautifully decorated with a fireplace and balcony. Highly recommend!

I enjoyed my stay at the recently renovated Sanctuary Beach Resort! This was my fifth visit to this lovely facility. The staff kindly welcomed me, and they even had my room ready earlier than the scheduled checking in time. I got an upgrade too! The room fixtures, furnishing, and bathroom updates were much needed and it is great to see the investment being poured into the property. The nightly bonfires are amazing! For a good dinner, you should visit Salt Wood or order room service. Robert was also a great guy. He was so welcoming and send me home feeling happy about my overall stay. I will surely be returning! My doggie approves!

Perfect for time away from the city - catch up on sleep and finish that book! And all while listening to the sounds of the waves. We spent three lovely nights in an ocean view suite. The bed was so comfortable that we’re trying to purchase one for home! The staff was great and even made our cat feel welcome.
