Beautiful location

I have been coming to the sanderling for a long time, it was my families yearly vacation spot growing up. This place is not the same and it breaks my heart. This place used to be elegant. It seems like the have taken away the little things that made it so special like bringing breakfast to the room every morning with freshly baked pastries, coffee and juice. They got rid of the amazing smelling spa soaps that came with the room. In General it seems like they have taken a very corporate route by cutting costs all around and it’s very noticeable, the aspects that made it a resort are unfortunately disappearing.

The location was great. Beautiful beach and lovely views from the room. The food at the Lifesaving Station was delicious with good service.

The room was FULL of mosquitoes, we found a dirty bathing suit in one of the drawers and the balcony was absolutely covered in cobwebs. I’d like to point out we had one of their nice rooms and paid $1100/night for it. Was not worth the price at all.

How well it is maintained. That it is situated on the ocean, with access to the sound, as well. That the restaurant is excellent. And, that the hotel and restaurant staff is lovely and very accommodating.

I suggest offering a lighter breakfast for those who don’t want a full breakfast. And Also a less expensive option for lunch.

The grounds are lovely. The area of the beach is very nice. The bathrooms are okay but more did not have a bathtub and I was hopeful at this price point there would be more luxury.

The hotel is certainly not cheap. It is probably the nicest hotel in the obx but none the less there at musty areas

Great location and easy access to restaurants and the beach. We had a beautiful ocean view room in the southern building and it was quiet enough that we could occasionally leave the door open and hear the waves. We really enjoyed swimming in the tranquility pool walking down to the beach early in the morning to watch the sunrise. Breakfast at the Lifesaving Station right next to the hotel was delicious. Overall a very relaxing experience!

I think for the cost of staying at this resort, a continental breakfast should be included.

Breakfasts were excellent at LifeStation, and 2 dinners at Kimballs Kitchen were as well (Kathy our server at KK was terrific). Staff all around very nice and accommodating. Loved beach umbrella, chair setups for relaxing on beach.

Resort felt/looks on outside a tad tired; carpeting in our room spotted. Lunch option being limited to bar/poolside station was too crowded and we opted to not wait for something there. For $550-650 a night inclusive of taxes and resort fee, we were expecting a bit more.

The location and proximity to the ocean was excellent. The staff was happy and very accommodating.

No elevator well in main lodge. The water and ice vending machine were on a different floor.
