Review of Sanctuary Beach Resort 4*

We have stayed here many times for various occasions and the view, service, and ammenities have always been excellent. However, I was saddened to hear upon check in that you no longer were provided your own personal golf cart. As silly as this little luxury is, it really did put a damper on the stay. While they did hire staff to provide 24hour bell service, having to wait around just wasn't the same as being able to do it yourself on your own time. If you forgot something in your car… had to wait… wanted to go to pool… had to wait… get to the beach access… had to wait. Granted, the grounds aren't that large but with the weather usually cold and windy, being able to jump in your cart made a huge difference. They have been bought out by a larger east coast hospitality company who said the carts were a liability and too expensive to maintain. Also, the restaurant is being completely revamped to a steak and seafood place and is currently closed. This would have been nice to know prior to checking in as we were planning on taking our golf cart to dinner… boo on both counts. We also noticed that the complimentary bottle of wine is no longer given. They also changed out the fire pits out on the beach. I didn't care for the witches Calderon design. The breakfast baskets that we would always order have gone up in price and now have a delivery charge. The view is still great, rooms are still great but it has definitely lost a little of its charm. Makes me think twice about booking another stay which is a shame.
