The property is beautiful with amazing views of Camel Back Mountain. The restaurants also had breathtaking views of the Mountain and beautiful landscape. The food and service was outstanding. The spa was wonderful and relaxing. The suites were spacious and beautifully decorated. The only issue is that it is not very easy to walk if you need assistance. Many stairs and hills.

When we arrived we were impressed with the warm welcome and the option to text for service or requests. However, though texting resulted in an immediate text response, there was zero service (requested ice….never came; requested coffee….no one showed; requested cups that they forgot to provide….nada). The room cleaning was below parr - didn’t refill coffee; promised fireplace fuel did not happen, items taken by their staff, from our room, and they placed outside door for 3 days. Food at the restaurant was mediocre, but the salad was fantastic. For $1,800 a night…we will consider other options next time.

Where do I begin?! This resort is an easy 10/10 (or 5/5 ). But whatever rating scale you choose it is an A . This experience has surely left me waiting for another visit. I arrived at Sanctuary from Houston to celebrate my 40th birthday. I had no expectations other than a relaxing solo getaway. However, expectations were exceeded. Any staff member I came in contact with was so pleasant (even the grounds workers were polite "Good morning" ). The amenities, especially the Spa, PERFECT! I chose two treatments- Deep Serenity (full body exfoliation and yes I was nearly asleep during the session ) and the Hydrafacial (couldn't fight the sleep any longer ). The offerings of wellness classes such as Sunrise Meditation, Meditative Stretch, Aerial Yoga with Sound Meditation, and Pilates added the perfect touch to my rejuvenation retreat (some were for a charge at a reasonable rate but most are free). Now, on to the beautiful room I stayed in. The Casita King Mountain View exceeded what I thought. The photos on the website were enough to draw me in but being there it was all that I needed and more. I didn't even want to leave my room. The captivating mountain view with an early morning rise and sunset, incredible! I set my own personal tranquil vibe and now this birthday trip has been the best birthday to date! I have already decided to visit this resort again! Life is so busy but when you visit a place like Sanctuary you will leave better than you came.
