We stayed in a house rented through ESPM, which I highly recommend. Much much better than resort villas. I have not stayed at the Sanctuary itself, but have eaten at the Jasmine room there. The grounds are sublime. A nature lovers dream. Great restaurants, bike trails, playground, tennis/pickleball, golf, beach. My happy place.

I can't express how much I wanted to pack my bags and leave as soon as we got here. We were here on business, so I couldn't leave. The outside walkway coming up the stairs to the villa, looked like no one had swept it out in a decade. Debri, spider webs, and whatnot littered the entire stairwell. I felt like I was in a Friday, the 13th movie at one of those old cabins. The condo was ok. Pretty much updated but smelled like mothballs. Overall, the villa was clean and located right at the beach. HERE COMES THE KICKER and the reason for a 1 star rating. The whole entirety of our luxurious, 5 star resort stay, we had to listen to beating, banging, machinery whirring and something that sounded close to a jackhammer all day (when we weren't out of the room). I'm not even going to tell you how mad I am right now as I write this review but they shouldn't put people above, under or beside others renovating. I understand that they must do this, but DON'T put people in villas near this crap. If so, they should, by law, have to tell you about the renovations and offer another villa. I wouldn't book through the resort but through Airbnb, etc. We stayed in the Windswept villas. So, you may want to check ahead of time before your stay, see where you'll be and if any renovations are being done. It is a total S-show over here. The island itself is beautiful and I'm glad I got to experience what it offered and the golf ⛳️ was amazing.

Beautiful nature island. Downfall the resort is overpriced for subpar food at their restaurants. Amenities should be more for the price that is charged! The new bowling lanes are a plus but overpriced. The Resort should consider reducing the fees for their mediocre accommodations.

We came here for my son’s Golf tournament.. we played at oak point golf course.. beautiful coarse.. well maintained friendly staff.. only need to work on green.. motel room was clean.. staff was very friendly and helpful.. and last but not least food was excellent

The pool and beach were great! Could not have imagined a better resort experience. In unit washer and dryer was amazing and necessary. However, our 3 bed “Premier” villa had a leaking ceiling the entire week in our main living space. Water damage was visible throughout the villa, cob webs, and dead bugs from sub par cleaning. The resort offered to move us to a different villa on the second to last day.
