Fodor's Review:
Choose from one- to four-bedroom villas and three- to seven-bedroom private homes in two upscale resort villages on 10,000 wooded and oceanfront acres. Or opt to stay at the Sanctuary at Kiawah Island, an amazing 255-room luxury waterfront hotel and spa. The vast lobby is stunning, with walnut floors covered with handwoven rugs and a wonderful collection of artworks. The West-Indies theme is evident in the guest rooms; bedposts are carved with impressionistic pineapple patterns, and plantation-style ceilings with exposed planks are painted white. Along with the 10 mi of island beaches, recreational options include kayak and surfboard rental, nature tours, and arts-and-crafts classes.

Don't give them a dime of your money

A mismanaged mess. When they over-booked the Sanctuary and placed some of their conference "guests" in villas, our business conference turned into a "haves" vs. "have-nots". When conference speakers staying in villas attempted to swim in the Sanctuary pool, they were promptly (and embarrassingly) "removed". Once friendly staff turned cold and dismissive when they discovered you were only a "villa person". These people are evil.

The Sanctuary is magnificent
Posted by Diana from Virginia on 6/4/06
The Sanctuary is new but built like an old southern mansion right on the ocean.The beach is uncrowded and big. The rooms have great ocean views. The meal choices including poolside dining, an upscale low country venue and unique fine dining. The golf and tennis facilities are tops. Lots of bike paths and nature programs for family fun.
