We recently stayed at the Sanctuary for 3 nights on a business event and were blown away by this hotel and its staff. The hotel and grounds are just about perfect and the service was impeccable. Its easily among the top hotels we've ever had the privelege of visiting. No denying It is expensive, so there is no "value" to... More

The Sanctuary My husband had a business trip to The Sanctuary on Kiawah Island, SC, and I  accompanied him.  A long quiet palm and pine-tree-lined road brings you to The Sanctuary.  Large cream columns, shuttered windows and black mediterranean wrought iron balcony railings make you feel like you arrived at a plantation.   Smiling doormen welcome their guests.  Jasmine, butterfly bush,...

I especially loved our room, which was tastefully decorated, clean, and comfortable (and had an ocean view and balcony). As for activities, there is so much to do...from kayaking,... More

Rooms - Gorgeous! Location - Breathtaking! Dining - Delicious! Spa - Tranquill! (But yes, alll that comes with a hefty price tag!) More

Overall, we really enjoyed The Sanctuary. The staff was very accommodating, the beaches beautiful, and the rooms very nice, if a bit traditional. Prior reviewers complained that the food was very expensive, which it was. However, it was also great southern cooking and, for those with a car, there is a development nearby with less expensive options. For those on... More

My husband and I spent two nights at The Sanctuary as part of our trip to South Carolina, and we loved every second of it. I was a little worried that the hotel wouldn't live up to it's price, or that there wouldn't be much to do for two non-golfers, but I didn't need to worry at all! The service... More
