The Sanctuary could be a great place to stay but it is not a luxury Resort. We had an issue with our room not being what we had requested, and this was promptly sorted by the Reservatios lady, maybe because several other members of our group had better rooms or maybe when I questioned why I had an ash tray in my non smoking room and why was my neighbour continuously smoking on the balcony next to ours which meant we could not go outside. Unfortunately several of us encountered exceptionally rude staff on the Reception Desk. The food was mostly good, but breakfast was always lacking either no bread, no cheese/meat, no cups, no teabags there wasnt one morning where we didn't have to request something. We were definitely 2nd place to The Rarotongan. The pool is a nice area, but smoking is openly allowed at this resort which was extremely unpleasant. This was my 3rd time in Raro, 1st time at The Sanctuary, I really missed the happy fun loving Rarotongans, the staff at The Sanctuary just did not seem happy at all. Previous experience at The Edgewater has been warm, engaging staff who were happy to help but at this resort everything seemed to be too much trouble. However at The Sanctuary the Ground staff and cleaners were always friendly and helpful. Overall we had an amazing time but that was more to do with the occasion we were there for and sadly due to the lack of warmth and engagement we went outside of The Sanctuary for food and entertainment.

Hotel is a wonderful location for snorkelling

We loved the location, in front of the marine park, being able to snorkel from the beach. Kayaks and stand up paddle boards were always available to use which was great. We had a lovely view of the lagoon from our balcony. Room was spacious and clean except windows which needed cleaning- the resort feels tired with dining areas needing a good clean

We’ve just come back from there. It’s the only place we’ve stayed in Raro so can’t compare. Plusses - room was great - clean with a super comfy bed, brill shower, our own snorkelling gear which we used to access what we understand to be the best snorkelling just metres from the beach. There was also free access to kayaks and SUPs. We had a beach room on the ground floor and it was amazing to lounge outside the bedroom looking at the sea through the trees, and on windy days lounge by the pool. There is a games room with Pool, table soccer and table tennis which provided us daily competition with each other. Staff were awesome, lovely and fun. Cocktails were yummy. Food was average, both price and quality. It was certainly a step up in quality of furnishings and fittings from the Rarotongan next door. You get access to their amenities, but they weren’t much cop. The gym machines in particular were very dated and clunky, and there was no real room to do any floor work. Our only downer were the tropical breakfasts - not much choice, bad coffee and UHT milk only. I would give that a body swerve and try and cut a deal with cooked breakfasts which were so much better.

The property looks a bit on the tired side, with the tennis court in need of singificant maintenance, the beach is washing away and exposing the palms, the cages of rocks supposed to be protecting the beach and the creek are rusted and broken. The breakfast buffet is the same every day, and the variety is fairly limited. Surprised too that at a resort on the water, we were not able to change the flippers left in our room to a larger size. According to the Activities hut there was no spare XL fins to swap for the Medium pair. Both check-in and checking out were problematic. In the case of checking in, we were giving the keys to an occupied unit and surprised the guests there when we unlocked the door. This was rectified with another room and a free cocktail. And our request the day before for check out for a later time was not logged, so that we had to wait nervously before it was confirmed with the member of staff we'd spoken to.
