Cyndy Stanford, a Sterling Brownell Travel Consultant recently visited The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island. Read on for her review of the property, service and ammenities.
My husband and I celebrated our 40th anniversary at The Sanctuary Resort, and it was 5-Star in every way. The resort staff made it a very memorable weekend for us and I'm confident they would do the same for all their guests celebrating a special occasion.
Public areas: The large lobby was nicely appointed with fresh flowers, lots of plush seating in small groups, high ceilings, big open fireplaces at each end, full ocean and lawn views, and a large comfortable lobby bar with piano music in the evenings. We witnessed two small weddings on their beautiful oceanview lawn. There are excellent meeting rooms all concentrated in one area so that groups don't interfere with couples, honeymooners or families.
Beach and pool: Gorgeous! There is a large family pool with a wonderful outdoor dining venue with a bar and lots of umbrellas for shade. There is also a separate adult pool that's oceanfront and catches a nice breeze. The staff is amazing - they bring you water without asking, bring lunch to your lounge chair if you like, supply suntan lotion if you've forgotten yours, and are always professional and friendly - never intrusive.
Accomodations: Outstanding! Large, with soft colors, Frette linens, robes, two closets with sensors for lighting, a large balcony overlooking the long coastal view and the ocean, individual heat/air control, wet bar with glasses, etc.
Bath: Lots of good lighting, double-vanity, a tub and a walk-in marble shower, toilet closes off, lots of fluffy whitetowels, and all-around lovely.
Spa: Tranquil, large, comfortable and well-run with friendly and genuine staff - nothing stuffy or snooty here - very relaxing with appropriately priced services.
Restaurants: Three great options. The Ocean Room and the Loggerhead Restaurant serve dinner. The breakfast buffet is excellent, and all the food we had at 3 of their restaurants was prepared well and delicious. The staff is outstanding - service always with a smile.
The Sanctuary is a destination in itself as there is golf, tennis, water sports and a cute village of shops, restaurants and a market. The entire Kiawah Island complex is gated with fabulous homes and condos and lots of natural low-country beauty. An elegant, inviting and perfect resort for families or couples.
Our clients receive breakfast daily, complimentary valet parking, and additional special amenities. If you're interested in learning more about Kiawah Island or The Sanctuary, click here to contact Cyndy.
