My husband and I along with several colleagues attended a medical conference at the Sanctuary. The bedding was ultra plush. The staff very attentive. You could very easily visit this resort and never lift a finger, as long as your wallet runs deep. The entire island is gated to given the illusion of security. Our stay ended sourly with my... more

Our stay at The Sanctuary was better than I could have imagined. We had a beautiful room with an oceanview. The staff was very attentive to every need. Great resort even for those of us who do not golf, although the courses are some of the best in the country. I cannot wait to go back! Loved the fact that... more

This is my second time at this hotel (last trip was two years ago). The service is just as amazing. I only have great things to say about this hotel. The hotel is right on the beach, which stretches for miles. It's great to walk, run, or bike the beach since the sand is packed. The adult pool overlooks the... more

Great room with the most comfortable beds I have or will ever sleep in. The hotel is gigantic but very friendly if a bit intimidating at first. We enjoyed the trips organised by the naturalists and found plenty to do even if we did not play golf or tennis. The beach was spotlessly claean and the sea warm. I loved... more

My husband and I spent 4 days at the Sanctuary during the 3rd week of August 2009. The experience could not have been better. We have stayed at several Ritz Carlton beach resorts--the Sanctuary is several classes above and beyond. I booked through the hotel's website, and we were upgraded from a garden view room to an ocean view room.... more

My family and I just returned from The Sanctuary Resort. We had a lovely stay until checkout, that is. The 4:00 check-in was also a bit of an inconvenince. The rooms were spacious and beautiful, as were the bathrooms. Everything was top of the line. The beaches are beautiful and the ocean water was 85 degrees, which was refreshing after... more

We chose to spend our honeymoon at The Sanctuary on Kiawah Island, and it was PERFECT. Everything about it was amazing, and top-notch: the room, the service, the activities, the restaurants....you name it, we loved it. I can't wait to go back! more

We have just returned from enjoying a wonderful vacation at The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island. We wanted a beach location that was driving distance, and our travel agent WHATAHOTEL.COM strongly recommended this beautiful luxury resort. I can certainly see why !! As soon as you walk in, the beauty and the grandeur of this property become very apparent...the traditional Southern... more

This is truly a 5 star resort. The staff is as friendly and caring as you will find in any top hotel. The grounds are immaculate and no expense was spared in the resort development or upkeep. The rooms and balconies are larger than what you will find in a typical resort, and the quality of the finishes are amazing.... more
