Just returned from The Sanctuary where we had stayed for three days after New York. What a contrast. Immediately relaxed in the beautiful setting by the ocean. Excellent food and service with a number of fantastic golf course including The Ocean Course. Rooms are an excellent size with views of the sea. Good gym and indoor pool along with the... More

If you're looking for a fun healthy vacation just book the Sanctuary at Kiawah Island and you're done. You can be as active as you want, and still savor the relaxed beauty of the island here. This is an especially great vacation destination for couples or families that like to do different things but still be able to join up... More

Until now my favourite hotel has always been Claridges in London. However I feel that I will have to revise this and say in future that it is the Sanctuary. The room, food, wine and in particular the service were exemplary. The location of the hotel in the dunes so close to an amazing beach is perfect and feels special... More

My daughter and I spent five delightful days at the Sanctuary recently, enjoying the luxurious and pretty rooms facing the ocean with balconies for viewing, friendly and helpful staff, good food and great activity options. My boyfriend had ordered a beautiful bouquet to greet me upon my arrival, made to order by the fabulous floral shop in the hotel and... More

The four days here were a real treat. The Sanctuary is an Eden and one where spending the money is well worth it. The staff is incredible and caters to every need without being intrusive, They all clearly went to "nice school". The facilities are superb and the grounds spectacular. Could not ask more of the guys at the beach.... More

When we I pulled up to the main entrance - the valets opened the car doors after which we ran a gauntlet of 3 or 4 people on each side of the path to the front doors welcoming us to The Sanctuary - at the large main entrance doors each was pulled open by a staff member as we approached... More

This place is amazingly beautiful! I can't think of one minus during our entire four day stay. The room was gorgeous, every part of the resort was absolutely perfect. The pool, the beach, the golf ... I honestly can't imagine a more wonderful destination. The Ocean Room Restaurant was incredible; we had an wonderful waiter (I'm so sorry I can't... More

I've been to the Sanctuary off and on for over a decade. The facility is beautiful with grand staircases, expansive white beaches, and the well-known golf courses. My overall impression is the hotel depends on the beautiful property to draw the patrons and has failed to stay current with hospitality trends. It is particularly hard to eat healthy or workout...

By any standards this is a very expensive hotel. Around £400 per night (room only) but it is a proper 5* experience. The rooms are well appointed (but no tea or coffee making facilities) with a really comfortable bed. Good quality cotton sheets are changed daily, bathroom is a good size with twin sinks and a good sized separate walk... More
