This hotel is truly pet friendly. They welcome dogs on majority of the property with the expectation of pool and gym. However, they do charge you a 300 USD pet fee per stay per room. So if you are only staying for a night or two, it’s really pricey. For this fee, they provide you some convenience items for your pet…. So it’s a nice little souvenir to take home too. We came during the off season, some amenities are not open. Seems to be a nice place to vacation in the summer time with many activities.

The property is in dire need of a facelift. It is not the Sanderling of yesteryear. The daily resort fee was so deceptive! Unbelievable! To think I actually contemplated having my daughter’s wedding there.

Very relaxing
I wanted a resort with a spa and restaurant for a much-needed respite from work, and the Sanderling fit the bill exactly! I wish I had come a couple of weeks earlier as some things in the area were considered post-season and not available or were limited, but the trade-off was the peace and quiet. My room was comfortable and the staff were helpful- highly recommend!

The property overall is run down. The pool area was overgrown with long grass and weeds. It was clear that the property is not being kept up. Also, the onsite dining is limited, and the one restaurant on the property is ridiculously overpriced. Very disappointing, especially for the cost of staying at this resort. Don't think we will be back.
