- ZDZachary Davistoday5.0We had our wedding here on the observation deck and the reception in the sunset ballroom. The Sanderling Team, especially Klarissa, are Rockstars and helped us bring the most magical night to life. The views are stunning and the sunset ballroom earned it's name. Beyond the views, the food and service were out of this world!
- SMS M1 day ago5.0This place is as perfect as it gets. So beautiful. Such friendly people working here! Renee thank you for being a light 💡💛in the dark when we arrived (literally it was a dark night when we arrived with the sky filled with stars☆☆☆☆☆) . In fact everyone at the front desk and working here-- so cool. Desmond at the restaurant, Lifesaver, was so nice and professional! Shanae at the bar bar/ coffee bar♡ We will be back! Great restaurant! (& excellent coffee in lobby with beautiful views 7-11am!)
- MPMary Pinaula4 days ago5.0We had the best experience celebrating our anniversary here. The resort is beautiful and the room was comfortable with a great view. The staff was wonderful and attentive, Vernette made sure we had everything we needed for our room, and the staff at the Spa did such a fantastic job we didn’t want to leave. Life Saving Station and Theodosia were fantastic! We especially appreciated to extra efforts made to make us feel celebrated. Thank you all for making this a very special memory!
- RTRobert Skylar ThimensSep 30, 20263.0Disappointed honeymoon experience. The service and property is majorly lacking for the price. They seem to he riding the conde nast review which overstates the experience here. The property has significant deferred maintenance and is grossly overpriced. No luggage carts, ice machines are broken in entire buildings, dangerous nails sticking up on patios, unkept commons areas with cereal for days, and generally a sloppy property. Despite numerous mention of our honeymoon we didn’t even receive a note, or nod in any way. Paid $50 for a pastry, a burnt breakfast sandwich and two lattes. Building and Patio door are unsecured, charging station is sponsored by tesla, and staff was generally rude. The barista saw I ran out of cream but didn’t offer to get me any because it was closing time (11am). Sound side rooms are VERY noisy from road traffic. Hard pass! This place is a bust.
- DGDavid GreeneSep 25, 20264.0If you are selecting one of the ocean rooms on the top level just know there's no elevator in the main building and expect to climb a lot of stairs. Bell hop service is available and appreciated to get luggage during check-in and checkout. Room attendants are fantastic. On location restaurants and spa are nearby walking distance but weather especially when windy plays a part on accessibility. Our king suite was large and accommodating just a few things to adjust to - the wind caused the fireplace flue and door to rattle and the TV in the sitting area wouldn't come on - a night light for the water closet would be great. The gentleman who presented the "porch and patio" how to make drinks was terrific. Overall a nice experience.
