Every employee was so pleasant & happy to do everything to make our visit wonderful. Another couple met us there & the men enjoyed golf @ the Ocean Course & Ospry Course while we ladies enjoyed massages @ The Spa. My massage... More

All this in February where you can have the beaches, bikeways, restaurants to yourselves. From the moment we arrived, we felt that every wish was taken care of. Rent bicycles. You can ride on the beach or on the designated bike paths free of automobile traffic. Stop to look at the wildlife. The hotel is very clean. The bathrooms large.... More

We loved this resort. It was a little too formal for a typical beach vacation but all aspects were well done. It is hellacious hot and humid in August, I would recommend spring. Rent bikes when you arrive, it's fun to ride on the beach and there are trails that take you wherever you want. More

This hotel has comfortable beds, very well-trained and polite staff - and is almost perfect. I have just a few comments because little things like this can - and should - be fixed. 1. At check in I asked if there was brunch the next day and was told yes, only to later learn that brunch was only served on... More

We have been to Kiawah before but have previously stayed in homes. This was our first stay at Sanctuary. We loved every aspect about it and the weather was pretty chilly in December. We had a one-BR, 2 bath suite and it was large enough for the 4 of us (parents and teens).We had a huge balcony with a great... More

Spent four days here just after New Years. Staff were exhausted but ultimate professionals. We could not fault a thing. Fantastic service from valet to dining. Check out the Italian restaurant on the island, name escapes me but a great experience. More

My husband, son and I traveled to Kiawah Island for a few days of relaxation after Christmas. We had stayed at The Sanctuary before, so we knew what to expect, and they did not disappoint. From the minute the bellman opens your car door, you feel like an honored guest. The service is excellent, they are there to make you... More

A fantastically beautiful resort with phenominal golf close by. Great restaurant and bar. Close to a fun shopping village. Top notch spa and service second to none. More

My wife and I enjoyed two nights here just before New Year's. We had an exceptional stay and were really impressed by the genuinely great service provided by each and every staff person at the hotel. We even recieved a really nice gift and hand written note from the kind fellow, Cody, that checked us in. A kind gesture like... More

My husband and I travelled to Kiawah Island to celebrate the New Year. We purchased the "City and Sea Package" -- Kiawah and The Sanctuary were fabulous, but the Wentworth Mansion - the city portion - was located outside the historic district of Charleston, near low income housing -- and we were totally unimpressed; we actually cancelled that portion and...
