To be able to have an Ocean front room , was a plus . To enjoy the sounds of the waves. To be able to enjoy a cup of coffee in the am and Wine in the sunset . To be able to bring our dog and take her for nice walks at the beach . Very nice and peaceful sanctuary . This is one of our favorite spot in Cali.

A Big group of guests had loud music and took over the whole Play court . We could not even enjoyed that area during the couple of days . Some dog owners will not pick up after their dogs or keep dogs on leashes . The location needs a special green area for potty breaks . Not all over the sand .

This is where my husband and I got married. We stay at Sanctuary every year on our wedding anniversary. We stayed in an Oceanfront Suite and it was lovely. Gorgeous views and such a lovely and cozy atmosphere. It is our favorite place to stay in the Monterey bay.

The ants that were all over the floor and the counter in the kitchenette. They were everywhere but luckily maintenance came and took care of it right away.

location was awesome. beautiful view from the balcony. room was comfortable for a family of 4.

only downside was the room service/restaurant. breakfast was inconsistent and expensive for what you got. dinner at the restaurant was very disappointing and $$$. service was a hot mess, which i can forgive if the food is great, but it was not. seriously need a new chef. the artichoke and crab dip was terrible! hard to find artichoke in it let alone crab. it was a bowl of under seasoned, undercooked chunks of onion and celery! cioppino had a weird very strong acid flavor and it came with the bread already mushy from being set in the soup. the kids chicken tenders were inedible - so over cooked and flavorless.

The beach views were amazing and the staff phenomenal. It was also fabulous to have the staff pick you up in a golf cart to take you anywhere on the property. Also loved how sweet and welcoming they were to our little dog traveling with us. They even added his name to the welcome sign in the lobby and we were able to eat outside at the restaurant on property w/our dog.

Bed mattress was just too hard for my liking but I rarely find a hotel bed that's comfortable. The linens and pillows were lovely though.

beautiful location, good (but very expensive) restaurant on site, very friendly and responsive staff, fireplace heater in room, so peaceful and lovely

if in a downstairs unit, you can hear people walking around In upstairs unit. the sliding glass doors with view facing ocean were very dirty which was a shame. the steam from the shower set off the smoke alarm as I didn’t close the door to the bathroom (maybe warn guests to close bathroom door when showering or move smoke alarm).

This was one of many stays with you. We always enjoy going to our happy place!

We had neighbors move in next door and above us the last night. They were very noisy upstairs and walked back and forth most of the night, it’s such a small area I have no idea why they kept doing it. Our neighbors next door literally had 2 dogs as big as horses, no lie ,they came up to their owners hip!! I love dogs I have them myself but these barked at everything!

The view is truly the reason you stay here! To open the door to your room and seeing the ocean takes your breath away. You can lay in your bed and let the ocean soothe your soul. I was able to leave the slider open with the fireplace on; best sleep I have had. Minus the small things I didn't like, I would stay here again.

Staying at the best room at the resort had a beautiful view, truly breath taking. The decor and bathroom lacked pizzazz, was my only small complaint. The desk, small round table, and a small shelf on the wall I called a collection box, looked cheap and had some wear and tear on them. Lacked shelves and electric plugs on the right side of the bed. Finally, the bathroom was nothing special. The shower was mediocre and a small bathtub. I expected more for a room at this price.

Amazing beach views and the restaurant was excellent!

Rooms are a little outdated and could use a renovation, but the common spaces and beach are gorgeous.

The Sanctuary Beach Resort is a spectacular hotel with a beautiful view of the ocean. I loved how our room had a direct view of the ocean and the sliding panel doors allowed us the option to let the sea breeze in and listen to the ocean waves or seal it off completely. The location of the resort was quiet and peaceful. We had direct access to the private beach and bonfires. They also provide activities such as a guided walking tour, yoga, and free bike rentals. The room itself was quite simple and nothing extraordinary. There was a beach blanket provided which was very nice to have and bring out to the beach. I did enjoy the complimentary bath supplies sponsored by L'Occitane. One of the days we ordered room service for breakfast. It was cute to see a picnic basket right at our doorstep once we woke up. The staff were very friendly. I especially love the assistance provided by the Indian man at the front desk. I apologize I have forgotten his name but I would like to give him the credit for making our stay pleasurable. He always has a smile on his face and not only answered our questions but provided more advice and information as well.

To get around Sanctuary Beach Resort, you would have to call the front desk and ask for ride on the golf carts. Unfortunately, there was a time when no one showed up after waiting over 20 minutes so we ended up walking down to our car. The TV uses Chromecast and did not work for us at all. The cable channels were alright but it would have been nice to stream something on Netflix or Youtube. For the price you pay, I wish breakfast was included at least.

The place is amazing with great location just by the ocean, very quite It has fire pits on the beach that you can enjoy after dusk. It was a little windy and felt a little colder than in Monterey, so bring some warm clothes.

There is no secured wi-fi network, so if you are planning to work with that amazing ocean view - forget about it!
