My wife and i went to Kiawah to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. The facility, grounds, dining were outstanding and it made a very memorable stay. The staff treated us superbly and we felt very welcome and comfortable. Ryan, the front office Manager, took care of us like we were friends. The beach, beautiful golf courses and impeccably maintained grounds... More

This was a last minute winter excursion to our favorite resort. We have now been to the Sanctuary 15 times for family vacations. Once again, the resort lived up to our expectations. We have stayed at many hotels and this one continually falls to the top due to its service, accommodations and beach views. The resort is very luxurious and... More

Great time golfing on Ocean Course with beautiful sunny 74 degree weather in November! Had a very good caddy named Prescott who made us both great putters for the day. Practically had course to ourselves....this was more like heaven than Costner's silly baseball movie!!! Highly recommend you playing it for some really interesting holes and good workout since it is... More

We checked in the day after Christmas and the hotel was empty...it was wonderful! Upon check-in everyone on the property made us feel welcome! The ocean view room was amazing and my daughter LOVED spending hours in the giant tub with her toys!! We ordered room service, only once, for breakfast and it was not very good....the reason we only... More

The accomodations at The Sanctuary were amazing and the food excellent!!!! Tomasso's at Turtle Point Clubhouse served up a wonderful cocktail reception for our daughter's wedding and it was above and beyond anything we had ever experienced. It was a wonderful addition to a beautiful wedding weekend! Nick Hunter Chef De Cuisine not only provided excellent food, he even made... More

There is no question that the beach at Kiawah Island is among the very best in America. One can find vastly superior resorts but the fact remains the combination of beach and South Carolina low country is best found at Kiawah Island hence this is a place well worth a visit. The resort villas are tired and mediocre at best.... More

How could you not be charmed by the huge proportioned rooms, miles of gleaming mahogany floors and vast staircases at this property? The room was comfortably furnished, with a lovely view of the ocean. As it was November, it was slightly off-season, so we were fortunate to find ourselves with plenty of room and not huge crowds. That being said,... More

From the stellar accomodations to the fantastic golf and service ... we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Top notch except one thing ... eat before you get to the course ... we went during off season and had to rely on the snack shack as the restaurants were not open till lunch service.... don't do this! Microwaved processed food ... processed meat... More

One of the best family vacations we have ever taken! Thanksgiving weekend events are a must if you can plan your vacation at that time! The tennis and golf are top of the list, the turkey trot race and Thanksgiving buffet and Childrens buffet with entertainment was incredible. The indian presentation by Jim Sawgrass was a great way to end... More

We spent Thanksgiving as a family at The Sanctuary in Kiawah Island. Every person working there from the bell staff to the cleaning staff made it a priority to make us feel welcome and give us lovely southern hospitality. I felt pampered and cared for and every effort was made to make sure we were happy staying there. Amazing how... More
