"We stayed one night there prior to our flight back to Sydney. Short but sweet stay. Service was excellent, bar right on the
beach
with their daily 3-4pm free cocktail and canapés. We kayaked to the opposite islet, water was so clear and calm making this such an easy paddle. Hotel management made us aware of their upcoming renovation, the pool certainly requires an update. However, with the perfect on the
beach
location, swimming in the pool was not necessary."

"Absolutely loved our stay at The Sanctuary. We were a bit worried as we’d seen some bad reviews for this place but it must have had an overhaul because it was great. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Our room was lovely with everything working and everything we needed. It was nice and quiet and private. The private
beach
is great for snorkelling. They have so many activities happening and kayaks/snorkelling gear to use. The pool was awesome especially the swim up bar. Cocktails were yummy....
