The beach is gorgeous. But this isn't the upscale resort that it is marketed as. The facilities are old and rundown. The "suites" are pretty small, and the amenities are not all that.

Our unit was the deluxe oceanfront with balcony. It was very nice. Just like the the pictures. It was steps from the beach. Parking is away from the unit. But they have carts that will shuttle you anywhere whenever you like. The service was top notch with the shtuttle taking us to and from our car and the restaurant. They set up a bonfire on the beach every night.
I'm glad we found this place. We will be back.

Beautiful spot on the pacific. Excellent staff. Restaurant on premises good. Pool is not heated very warm. I swim hard so it was ok but cold for soaking. The fireplace in the room is wonderful. I’d stay again

Friendly & courteous staff. Although there was a hiccup in our "ocean view" reservation-- I was called day of by front desk manager (Giselle) that the room we booked was no longer available and was given an alternate "partial ocean view". Explained that it was a momentous family time and needed to be close to family-she was able to accommodate us and comp for SALT & WOOD restaurant. Beautiful Resort, Clean and Spacious. Can't wait to go back!

All of the staff at the sanctuary were amazing, they made sure we were taken care of and even went above and beyond a few times. The view was amazing and the fire pits were fun for the entire family.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is conveniently located close enough to to freeway access to make traveling around very easy. Having beach access was also a big plus.

Beautiful beach- a perfect place to walk and enjoy peace and quiet. A great stop after long day of flights and travel. Convenient to dine right there. Manager stated they are starting renovations this fall since some things starting to show age. We will come back again.
