Exceptional service from all the staff at the Intercontinental Sanctuary Cove. A beautiful hotel, with excellent facilities, with most things repaired and in running order just days after a cyclone. The pools are beautiful, the restaurants and bar great and it’s very close by to other marina restaurants and shops. What stood out was the customer service. Text message check ins and quick responses were brilliant. Loic in particular showed personalised service and care not often found in hotels nowadays. He looked after my family when one of our members had a bit of an emergency. Really exceptional stuff. Thanks to the whole crew!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this resort! The breakfast is a must-try—delicious, fresh, and the perfect way to start the day. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable stay. A special shoutout to Veronica, who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Her exceptional hospitality truly made our visit even more memorable. Highly recommend!

Exceptional service from everyone. Was so refreshing to be treated so well by a business , something rare these days unfortunately. From check in, While we were there & even post check out with a follow up email. Most comfortable bed I have ever slept in while away. The facilities in some areas need some maintenance (it is an old resort) but the rooms were clean and updated. Even though not in the heart of the GC ; still gives that holiday vibe. Highly recommend & will definitely stay again.
