I’ve been taking my wife here every year for the last 5 years or so and it’s our favorite place to go. When we first started coming here we were just dating, and as each year went by our relationship grew here at the sanctuary. We got engaged on the beach here and just this weekend we came here with our 8 month old daughter. Thank you sanctuary for all the memories.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,003 reviews)

Don’t stay in room 202. We’ve stayed at this hotel several times and can say this room let us down. It’s attached to bathrooms for the hotel on one wall and just above is the maid’s quarters so think thumping and dropping all day and night. This was our favorite hotel but this last stay was not good.
