We got married at the Sanctuary and it was amazing!! The staff made us feel at home and was accommodating to all our needs and our guest’s needs (we were 25 strong). The site is so beautiful and the resort is small so everything is very intimate and personnel. We had lots of fun playing Water Volleyball at the pool... more

We had an incredible week at the Sanctuary. For us, it was the best of both worlds, the first half of our trip was a second honeymoon and the last half was a wedding celebration of our best friends. When we arrived it was quiet, relaxing and secluded. Most of the time we were the only ones on the beach... more

If you like getting away from it all, having the beach to yourself and being pampered by the staff this place is for you. The road is not paved the last half of the drive but the Sanctuary is worth the trip. We went with another couple and stayed in #3 cottage. Make sure you stop at the grocery store... more

The Sanctuary is very aptly named... this is a quiet, peaceful, relaxing getaway. We spent 7 night there from March 7-14 and had a great time. My friend and I brought our two twelve year old boys there for spring break. We stayed in a 2 bedroom cottage, #10. We had originally been told we would have #8 when we... more

This was our fourth trip to Costa Rica, our first to the Sanctuary. We stayed in 'cabin 4'. they say cabin...I say house! It was a beautiful 2-story vacation home. The upstairs was the master suite with a balcony that looked out to the ocean...amazing. I've read through some of the reviews and am disapointed. Had the un-happy customers done... more
