This resort is exquisite. It is located directly on the beach but also seems like it is in a jungle or Forest. The property is extremely well maintained and the staff was exceptional. We were given a room that we weren't exactly pleased with and they were able to accommodate our needs and provide us with a different room. We loved being able to walk around the property with our small child. I would come back anytime.

I will say that if you have not had the opportunity to stay at the Sanctuary put it on your list! It is beautiful hotel, location and great service! Hotel is right on the Atlantic Ocean and it is a 3 minute walk from the hotel and the sunrises and sunsets are beautiful. I could go on and on, just make it a place to go even if it is just for a couple of days, stunning!

Beautiful Resort

Beautiful property and the staff are exceptional. One note for anyone traveling without a vehicle to the property, you need to pre-arrange transportation for your departure. We didn't realize this and almost missed our flight out of Charleston.
