I had a decent overnight stay at this resort. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff truly made me feel welcome. However, I was really let down by the quality of the breakfast, which was not fresh and quite disappointing. While the value for money was good in terms of the room price, the dining experience could definitely use some improvement.

We stayed at this hotel on New Year's Day, and despite the busy atmosphere, we were pleasantly surprised by how well we slept due to the soundproof rooms. The pool was a highlight of our trip, providing a clean and comfortable experience. However, we found some areas needing improvement, particularly in dining options and a few maintenance issues.

I didn't have the best experience at this so-called resort. The room was quite spacious but unfortunately not clean and felt quite moldy, and the noise from the busy highway was constant. However, the staff was friendly and accommodating. Additionally, the dining options were reasonably priced, but the overall cleanliness and comfort left much to be desired.

Sanctuary Resort was a pleasant surprise with its spacious rooms and appealing, leafy surroundings. The service was attentive and welcoming, which enhanced our stay. However, the pool area could use some maintenance, and the lighting in the common areas needs improvement. Overall, it offered good value for a relaxing getaway.
