My husband and I just retuned from celebrating our ten year wedding anniversary this evening and I’ve never been more in a rush to write a review so I forget nothing. We stayed 5 days & 4 nights and let me tell you, we’ve stayed in St Regis, JW Marriott, and many other 5 star resorts around the world- but after this last week Sanctuary has our hearts. First I’ll start with the property. This was our first time in the DR and when I tell you the grounds are beautiful from every view, with pools, lounge places galore, plenty of gorgeous ocean views, the resort itself is impeccable and stunning. We stayed in a honeymoon suite in the castle and it was the most beautiful and spacious and gorgeous accommodations for such a celebration. With a large patio with our own private pool and view of the ocean, a large bedroom and sitting area & a bathroom big enough for two to not even know both are inside, the suite was gorgeous. Service: hands down the BEST service we have ever experienced. Because we stayed in the castle we had a butler, and Juan (“Yoan”) was amazing. He was like our best friend, helped us make all of our dinner plans and reservations for the week. Had special surprises for us on our anniversary evening, ensured every second of our stay we were taken care of and good, took us to dinner every night, helped us add to our spa reservations, he was the BEST. We even texted him one night when it started raining to ask if he had an umbrella and it was like he was already on his way to us and our evening wasn’t interrupted by the weather in the slightest. When we come back it will surely mostly be because of him and the amazing time he showed us, we were so so thankful for him! Everyone else around the property, from the bartenders and waiters and hostesses and waitresses were fabulous. Everyone was so kind and accommodating and amazing. The only person who was a little less than was the woman at the coffee shop Saturday morning before we left, but we chalked her coldness up to perhaps a long Friday evening and being a bit cranky the next morning. Otherwise, Jose at the pool was fabulous and had a spot for us ready everyday, and everyone else we encountered was a dream! Everyday our room was cleaned beautifully and refresh service at nighttime was wonderful and so appreciated! Food/Drinks: The Sanctuary had amazing food and beverage and probably at the top of an AI resort! The Italian restaurant with its burrata and squid ink risotto was a fave, along with the ribeye from the steakhouse and the pizza/sushi from sanctuary town. All of the drinks were incredible, our go to’s for the week were: welcome drink (coconut lemonade) with rum, gin and tonics with lime, caiprinhias, dirty gin martinis, and margaritas. Overall we had the BEST time, there wasn’t a second we did not enjoy ourselves and left feeling so relaxed and unwound. The irony also was we traveled during hurricane season (end September) and were safer the week we were there than at ho
