Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere. The service was excellent. We had our two dogs with us and they traded them like guests as well. The drinks were absolutely phenomenal. My husband had a few 😊. Highly recommend and will be back as the sanctuary beach resort is one of our favorite places.

Absolutely incredible experience! We went for their three-course tasting menu during their special week, and every single dish was phenomenal. The meat was so tender, and the flavors were truly out of this world. Words honestly don’t do it justice! A huge shout-out to Chef Carlos and his entire team for creating such an amazing experience. You can truly taste the passion and talent in every bite. We can’t recommend it enough!

The food was great and the wait staff were wonderful. The only minus is the back room , although is wonderfully private, is really noisy and sound echos to the point of not being able to hear conversations. Other than that, it was great
