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.

Beautiful property and landscape and good food. A few challenges were (1) the weather being too chilly and windy to enjoy the beach and bonfires, but obviously not under our control and that’s what’s expected in norcal, (2) no air conditioning in the room we were in so we had to switch multiple times between opening the windows and balcony doors, getting very chilly, and turning on the fireplace, getting really hot and stuffy., (3) the spa service was nice but it was loud for a spa. You could hear the next door neighbors and the massage tables for some reason shook during the session. But overall, it was a very relaxing experience. And I would go back again just to enjoy the peace and quiet and the views.
