While The Sanderling Resort has a lovely aesthetic and friendly staff, my stay didn't quite meet the expectations I had for a resort experience. The room was pleasant but showed signs of maintenance issues, and the amenities felt lacking, especially for the price. Although the location is beautiful and away from the crowds, I found myself wishing for better upkeep and more attention to detail.

Our experience at Sanderling Resort was a mix of beauty and frustration. The location is stunning, offering a lovely stretch of beach and tranquility away from the crowds. However, the service left much to be desired, often feeling inattentive and untrained. While the rooms were spacious, they lacked some necessary updates. Overall, the ambiance and facilities were nice, but the service needs improvement, especially for the high price.

The room we stayed in was quite spacious with a large bathroom and a nice view of the pool and ocean. However, the mattress was soft and caused backaches every morning.

The Sanderling has a stunning location by the beach with phenomenal ocean views, but it falls short in terms of room cleanliness and facility maintenance. The dining at the Sandbar is decent, and the staff are mostly friendly, which adds to the experience. However, the state of the facilities and the overall upkeep detract from the otherwise beautiful setting.

I had an incredibly rejuvenating stay at Sanderling. The rooms are spacious and offer fantastic views, particularly from the balcony where I could relax and take in the sunrise. The service was warm and made me feel welcomed, but I did notice some inconsistencies at busy times. While the location is perfect for a peaceful beach getaway, I was disappointed by the environmental impact of single-use plastics during my dining experiences. Overall, it was a lovely stay with some notable areas for improvement.

The hotel is in a stunning location right by the ocean, and I loved the beautiful decor inside and out. However, the service fell short of expectations with untrained staff and several issues during my stay. It was unfortunate that staff training and maintenance were lacking, which impacted the overall experience. While the rooms were comfortable, the value for what I paid just didn't seem justified considering the level of service and amenities.
