First of all, our oceanfront suite accommodations were VERY comfortable and the view was awesome. We checked in late in the evening and went out in the morning to find where we could get breakfast. We went to the front lobby and found out there was no breakfast, if you wanted to have a continental breakfast brought to your room,... More

My girlfriend and I spent two days here in an ocean front deluxe. We were excited to have a couple days to ourselves In our beach front room. Upon our first 20 minutes in the room the smoke detector alarms. Being the laid back person that I am I think nothing of it. Our neighbors on the other hand called... More

Potentially this is a property that could be a five star joy but unfortunately the little things add up to a deduction. It is a big one but fortunately the location and amenities are huge. THE GOOD: The property is located about nine miles from Monterey and 11 from uber-dog friendly Carmel. Nestled between Marina and the Sanctuary Beach it's... More

Husband and I spent a couple days here a few years ago right after our wedding, and we had a great time. It was quiet, relaxing, and romantic; exactly what we were looking for our mini-honeymoon. We came back to Sanctuary this past (Memorial) weekend to celebrate our 4th anniversary and it was a little less than what we remembered.... More

Booked this trip based on the reviews here and manager replies and was not disappointed. 5 hours from L.A. is a bit of a haul but this was a nice alternative to the standard hotels in Monterey and Carmel. We rented a junior ocean front suite and as other have mentioned it may be ocean front but the "front" is... More

Our family stayed here last May, and it was lovely. The rooms are very clean and new, and the kids loved being driven around in a golf cart. The beach was a bit cold in May but we made coffee and hot chocolate, then cuddled up on the balcony to enjoy the sunset. Everyone enjoyed the resort. Cost is a... More

We stayed in one of the oceanfront rooms and it was worth the extra cost, the view was spectacular. It is not often you can lie in bed and see the ocean right out the sliding door. We saw two beautiful sunsets while sitting on our patio drinking a glass of wine, what can be better than that? The young... More

We stayed for a long weekend anniversary/birthday trip and brought our dogs. It was wonderful! We splurged for an ocean front junior suite and highly recommend doing so. The fireplace was great to take the chill off the ocean air, great views. The bed was ok, linens were lovely. Loved the layout of the room... The bathroom layout is slightly... More

Room in disrepair, dirty shower with hair, wallpaper ripped, paint peeling. The golf cart is mandatory and not convenient. The materials used and general design looks better in pictures than in person. It looks cheap. I overheard the staff referred to me and my boyfriend in Spanish as 'hotos'. They could know we were gay from the on duty manager... More
