“The Sanctuary impresses with its meticulous upkeep and prime beachfront location on Kiawah Island. I appreciate the thoughtful touches, like the ingredient list at the ice cream shop, but acknowledge the front desk's service could be warmer. Despite minor inconsistencies, this Forbes Five-Star destination presents an undeniable level of luxury that is worth considering.”
