Absolutely Stunning

I stayed in a spacious three-bedroom apartment that was beautifully appointed with all the amenities needed for a family stay. The large bi-fold doors opened up to a sunny balcony that felt like a personal oasis surrounded by lush greenery. It was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.

Tranquil Pool Area

The pool at Sanctuary is simply lovely, set in a tropical oasis. It's large enough to swim laps, yet also perfect for a refreshing dip on a hot day. The soothing environment made it an ideal spot for relaxation and I loved spending time there with my family.

Our stay at Sanctuary Palm Cove was mostly enjoyable with beautiful gardens and spacious apartments. However, we encountered some noise issues at night from local wildlife, which affected our sleep. The apartment was clean and comfortable, but the internet and TV could have been better. Overall, it's a great place if you enjoy nature and tranquility.

I had an amazing time at the Sanctuary Palm Cove! The apartment was spacious and beautifully decorated, with stunning views of the lagoon. The pool was vibrant and perfect for relaxing or swimming. The location is ideal, just steps from the beach and a variety of eateries. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special, helping us arrange local tours and providing great tips.
