Sanctuary Beach Resort, Marina, CA – Hotel & Resort Review

Sanctuary Beach Resort = @sanctuarybeachresort

I stayed at the Sanctuary Beach Resort 2 days for my 36 Birthday. During our stay, we got to experience the Panoramic Oceanfront Suit, which is the more exclusive part of the Sanctuary Beach Resort. My room was big and had a modern interior touch with a kitchen, and a small station for making coffee/tea. The room also features a walk-in closet and a nice couch, armchair and big flat-screen TV.  Another top feature of this room is, of course, the view. The view is indeed spectacular and offers a panoramic view of the bay and the lovely turquoise water. The balcony is quite spacious as well, featuring a nice sunbed where you can relax.

Breakfast at Sanctuary Beach Resort:

A custom breakfast is served each morning with a focus on healthy options, which means that there are lots of veggies and fresh fruit available along with juices, honey, nuts and so on. Omelette and scrambled eggs can be prepared at no extra cost, which is quite nice to have in the morning. One of the plus features from the breakfast at the Resort was, of course, the healthy options, but also the freshly squeezed orange juice. Concentrated juice is not uncommon unfortunately at some hotels, although here at the Sanctuary Beach Resort, you don’t have to worry about that since you can enjoy freshly squeezed juice every morning along with a cup of tea or coffee!
