Birthday trip getaway from South Florida

The staff was very friendly and professional. We loved the fact that there were different restaurants to choose to dine on property without having to leave property. We ate on my actual Birthday6/10/25 at the steakhouse and the staff was great and the food was magnificent also the staff came out with dessert and sang Happy Birthday, next day we ate at the Asian restaurant which was beautiful as well as the others and the food and staff were magnificent. Third day we ate at the Italian restaurant with wonderful staff. Those were actually the nights we dressed up and actually felt like we were at a 5 star restaurant. There were other wonderful restaurants on the property like the wood fire pizza, the burger grille spot and also the dessert/ ice cream and red velvet dessert spot. All of the staff were awesome and polite and I definitely recommend to stay here because it’s definitely a cut above the rest. We have been traveling for years around the world and we have stayed at Sandals, The Ritz Carlton and number of All inclusive resorts. This by far tops all. Our room was the Junior Luxury Suite King with ocean view. The staff was very helpful. There were several beautiful seating areas to lounge all around the Sanctuary. We loved it and would definitely recommend this beautiful and peaceful location.

Problemas serios con playas repletas de algas. Un olor nauseabundo en todo el hotel y un alto costo que no merecio la pena. Cobran adicional si deseas tomar agua Perrier o San Pelegrino y de igual forma por bebidas Premium. No es un hotel que este a la altura del precio ni cerca de serlo. En plena mañana uno tratando de descansar maquinas corta cesped y excavadora retirando algas. Pesimo en todos los sentidos!!!

We were looking for a quiet, low key place and this was mostly that. However, the beach was not available due to a seaweed problem, but other resorts were able to keep their beach open if not in ideal condition. On several occasions the language barrier led to incorrect orders. Sometimes we were brought a zero dollar check to sign, and other times we were not which led to confusion. Finally the food was OK but was not great, even at the highest end places.

This property is not a 5-star with an above 9 rate- I have been at a lower rate, and my experience was way better! Dont fool with the review even Expedia didnt refund us we reached out! One of the worst things is the cleanliness, it's even worse than 4 starts; we changed our room and the bathroom was smelly for days, can you believe it?! The food was not good- I was Hungary during the day for 2 first days and after that I could just find some ham edible which was not in my diet, the reservation and occupancy were bad; we just abled once to entered the steakhouse with so many tires, and they made the resort full more than its capacity; it is cheap for such a rating and the amount you pay. We have been to similar resorts, which are more affordable and way better! If you want to enjoy and chill definitely you cant we were always worry about something, pool area beds was always full or bad food or reservation or bedroom dirts so many things!! I will just attach some photos that i got for Expedia to convince them we need a refund to go to another resort and they didnt accept, if you see in the toilet there is an stain, we tried to clean it with alcohol, didnt work, then the ground was some leaking that had an awful smell, the room was not clean it was dusty and drawers was not usable there were food residue. I tried to not focus on it to completely ruin my experience otherwise i would took a lot more photos to attach.
