Disliked: Staff & service

On check out day the staff will ignore you

Got food poisoning from the onsite restaurant. After informing the staff they were very hesitant to help with bringing water, tea or any easy request asked. We had to check out at 11a.m that day and while attempting to endure the sickness the staff shows up at 8:30a.m to see have us leave and again about an hour later. It’s kinda funny because I called the front desk around 8a.m to request any help and to have a late check out to make sure we could drive home safe. The first night was great but after that it went down hill, don’t expect any help from the front desk if you need anything from them. Very unhappy, with the situation as this was a place a really enjoyed staying in the past.

Sanctuary beach resort

The location is beautiful and it’s a dog friendly hotel which is why I chose it. The staff was friendly and generally helpful. The Salt Wood restaurant was delicious and they had a menu for my dog. The room was spacious, designed well and had drink and snack offerings included. I loved that it had a fireplace, large soaking tub and shower. Unfortunately, the shower didn’t drain well and the bed mattress had very little support. It was way too soft and I woke up with back pain. 1 of the 2 reading lights and an electric plug next to the bed didn’t work. I was in a bottom level suite and could hear quite a bit of noise from the people above me, as well as when the room next to me opened and closed their door. Lastly, the EV charging was misleading. The app said the rates were set by the hotel and offered free overstay charging from 12am-9am, with a 1 hr grace period. When I unplugged my car at 9:30am, after charging overnight, I was charged for a 30 min overstay. The front desk receptionist stated that the EV company set the rates and I would have to contact them to dispute the charge. I explained that the app said the hotel set the rates. She seemed confused and said she would relay the info to the manager. The lobby is very welcoming with a spacious seating area, fireplace, coffee, hot chocolate, tea and fruit available 24h. The issues I had were manageable, I would be happy to stay there again.

I just wanted to get away to a peaceful place & rest. This hotel was exactly what I dreamed of. Beautiful location. The staff members were friendly and helpful. They are very pet friendly even providing your pet with their own bowls and menus! I had an Ocean View Suite. Fireplace, comfy bed, room service, delicious food, yoga, jacuzzi and the room was cleaned daily which was nice. I will definitely come back for more!
