Hotel The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island Resort (Kiawah Island, USA)

You can expect the rooms and suites here to be of an excellent standard. Guests find the accommodation clean and spacious and finished to a high standard with luxurious amenities. If you can’t quite stretch to a suite, many guests recommend that you opt for a club level room as opposed to the standard option.

Whether you want to relax or throw yourself headfirst into activities, reviews indicate that you’ll be far from disappointed. Escape to the spa and let the therapists work their magic or get involved in the family activities - it’s all on-site. Guests have found the amenities are of a high standard and the activities well organized.

Guests have been impressed with the dining here. The choice of 11 restaurants means you’ll be able to enjoy steak, seafood, and everything in between. The food is described as excellent, as is the standard of service. Prices aren’t particularly low but guests find that the quality warrants the price tag.

While many guests have indeed found that this resort offers a true sanctuary, others have mentioned noise from the hallways and occasional live music events. That said, unwanted noise does seem to be a fairly rare occurrence and will likely depend on where your room is located.

This resort undoubtedly offers excellent facilities for families and, perhaps unsurprisingly, those children can become excited at such as action packed setting. Not all guests (particularly golfers) haven’t appreciated having so many children around them.

An infrequent issue but one to be aware of is that guests have occasionally booked a privately owned villa rather than the resort. This has left them unable to use many of the facilities. Check booking details carefully before you confirm a reservation.
