I had mixed feelings about my stay. The location is absolutely beautiful, right by the beach, and the staff were genuinely friendly. However, the rooms were not up to par, showing signs of neglect that were disappointing given the high price. While the pools and beach amenities were inviting, the overall facilities need a serious renovation.

Our stay at the Sanderling was a wonderful escape, with pristine beach access and a serene atmosphere. The service was top-notch, especially thanks to Nancy at the front desk, who truly made us feel welcome. The rooms were comfortable and well-equipped, but the dining options left us wanting more, so we opted to eat out. Overall, a lovely place to relax, but consider off-site dining for better meals.

My stay at the Sanderling Resort was pretty disappointing, especially given the high price tag. The location is lovely with easy beach access, but the overall amenities and service did not live up to what I expected for a luxury resort. The room was adequate but had a musty smell, and I encountered various issues with the facilities, including an uninviting pool area. However, the staff I interacted with were friendly, making the experience slightly better.

The Sanderling Resort is a peaceful oasis, perfect for escaping the daily grind. The rooms are comfortable and well-appointed, though the prices can be on the higher side. While the service is pleasant, there were a few hiccups that need attention. The location is fantastic, right by the beach, making it easy to unwind. However, the facilities, like the pool and dining options, could use some improvements to fully match the resort's expectations.
