Where do I begin?! This resort is an easy 10/10 (or 5/5 ). But whatever rating scale you choose it is an A . This experience has surely left me waiting for another visit. I arrived at Sanctuary from Houston to celebrate my 40th birthday. I had no expectations other than a relaxing solo getaway. However, expectations were exceeded. Any staff member I came in contact with was so pleasant (even the grounds workers were polite "Good morning" ). The amenities, especially the Spa, PERFECT! I chose two treatments- Deep Serenity (full body exfoliation and yes I was nearly asleep during the session ) and the Hydrafacial (couldn't fight the sleep any longer ). The offerings of wellness classes such as Sunrise Meditation, Meditative Stretch, Aerial Yoga with Sound Meditation, and Pilates added the perfect touch to my rejuvenation retreat (some were for a charge at a reasonable rate but most are free). Now, on to the beautiful room I stayed in. The Casita King Mountain View exceeded what I thought. The photos on the website were enough to draw me in but being there it was all that I needed and more. I didn't even want to leave my room. The captivating mountain view with an early morning rise and sunset, incredible! I set my own personal tranquil vibe and now this birthday trip has been the best birthday to date! I have already decided to visit this resort again! Life is so busy but when you visit a place like Sanctuary you will leave better than you came.

We were looking for a great relaxing vacation spot and this certainly met that criteria. Roomy and comfortable and just a great retreat when the day is over. Pool area was great and service was attentive. We loved having a parking spot and no need for valet for our rental car - parking next to your room was a terrific bonus. Views around the property are spectacular being right up against Camelback. Would recommend!

Food menu keeps changing. Priced like gourmet. However food is mediocre at best. Selections odd and not appropriate to time of day. East pool is in poor condition with 2 torn umbrellas and broken tile. Rooms are decent but dark. Good views however. Priced equivalent to nearby 5 stars, but at least a notch or two below. Not a good value Major deficit is the food. Bar does have great drinks.
