A perfectly nice stop for a night up and down the coast.

Pros: The dunes and beach are gorgeous. The rooms were lovely and well set up and the restaurant was good. Cons: That it is shared with a time share - that vibe is different than a luxury hotel. The pool and hot tub are also on the time share grounds and just not as nice as the hotel.

Bon séjour agréable et convivial, reposant mais cher

Pros: - Emplacement idéal à proximité de la plage - Chambre confortable - Feu de cheminée - Équipements Cons: - Avoir payé une vue mer alors que l’on a uniquement qu’un aperçu de cette dernière… - le personnel était très bruyant au restaurant, n’arrêtait pas de rire aux éclats au bar en plein service - prix de la chambre très cher

A very well managed and comfortable getaway spot.

Pros: A very peaceful and calming environment. Perfect to detach from a chaotic world. Staff is excellent and the cottage we booked was very comfortable. Cons: There’s no gym and other than beach walks or bonfires at night, there’s not a lot to do.

Not worth staying for 1 night. It will only be enjoyable if you can afford 2 or more nights.

Pros: I loved everything about the property but was sad to see all the couples spa appointments were booked for days out. Cons: I did not like that there was no bath tub in our room. Also: Check in time is at 3pm while check out time is 11am. I paid for 1 night’s stay so that felt like a poor deal for how much I spent. I wish check in was earlier or check out later. Otherwise, it’s not worth it for only 1 night’s stay.

A wonderful getaway

We visit the Sanctuary every few months for a relaxing getaway. The staff is exceptional and the amenities are very nice. The bed in the room is very comfortable and the views are unmatched,
