Reviews for InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort
Sophia Wang
We love and would recommended our stay here. Coming during the weekday so we feel like we have the resort ourselves. Full of kangaroos. Services brilliant. Facility awesome. Drink at the pool bar is very nice! The verandah cocktail could be better. We had a dinner at verandah the food is actually amazingly nice (burger, squid and pizza) dessert cheese cake is also very nice. The heated pool in winter is still cold (not freezing cold) def not warm. We only used the pool at noon (which is not that cold) the spa is warm and decent size we use the spa with our little one a lot. The lagoon pool is really nice too with sand and play toys provided. The room is a bit rundown but everything is working with good hot shower. Our room is on ground level so we can go straight to the lagoon from our room!

Absolutely perfect from the moment we arrived. Reception phoned on the morning of our arrival to say our rooms were ready. What an amazing service! The staff everywhere made us feel like we were truly valued. The breakfasts were fantastic with a fresh variety every morning. Even though the staff were super busy they still smiled (Thankyou Cedric!) and bought what we needed without a fuss. Our rooms were absolutely spotless and quite spacious facing the lovely marina. Each morning while we were at breakfast the cleaning fairy had redone the rooms immaculately again. The whole place was relaxing, (even the kangaroos stay there happily living quietly) and super friendly and nothing was too much trouble for any staff member we dealt with. I was on an arm crutch and so I used the buggy (thankyou to Sebastian!) on a number of occasions to go to the rooms and to the marina and it went smoothly each time with generally just a short wait. Thankyou also to Andrea and Natalie who took a few of those buggy calls and were so helpful and polite. The bar staff were friendly, and at times under a lot of pressure and they still delivered our cocktails each night with smiles. We had a dinner at The Fireplace and had lovely service and a beautifully cooked steak that simply melted in my mouth. I loved every aspect of Sanctuary Cove Resort and I can't wait to go back! A massive thankyou to all the unnamed (sorry) members of staff who made our stay memorable in so many wonderful ways.

We stayed at Intercontinental Sanctuary Cove for my wife’s birthday for two nights, and the team went above and beyond to make it truly special—especially for her. From the moment we arrived until the time we left, every staff member we met was warm, welcoming, and attentive. A special mention to Nanomi at the front desk for her kindness and professionalism, and a big shout-out to the amazing concierge team for their help throughout our stay. As a Diamond member, I really appreciated the little extras, like the 2 pm late checkout, which gave us more time to explore the property and enjoy the facilities. The room upgrade and thoughtful amenities in the room were such a lovely touch and made the celebration even better. We had an amazing time and left with wonderful memories. We’ll definitely be back and will be telling our friends and family to visit too!

We stayed 4 nights at this grand, leafy, impressive, and spacious resort. The staff were all accommodating and friendly. The hotel has a wonderful old world almost Athenian feel with clay colored tiling and many fountains adorning the main courtyard area. The Rooms are very spacious and comfortable. We had a marina view room with balcony that was wonderful to view the sunrise and sunsets. The varied birdsong, water dragons, kangaroos, and many different types of trees and bushes give the place a real charm and country feel. The grounds were very well maintained and tidy, the pools were regularly cleaned. Temperatures of the pools vary from 21deg in the main lagoon pool, 23-29deg in the swimming pool, and 33deg in the spa (a touch cold as usually a spa is set to 36 minimum, but fine for me). At this time of year I had the pools to myself and it was just wonderful! The breakfast and bar food was outstanding. My complaint is however with the selfish sick people who come to breakfast blowing their noses and clearly not being well, infect people like me and my wife who are now recovering from colds obtained from these people touching the serving instruments and putting staff welfare at risk as well. Please think of others if your sick and try to arrange breakfast another way - perhaps the hotel could add signs and offer in room breakfast for the sick - not easy to manage I know, would be better if people could (shock horror) think about other people and not come to food buffet sick! The country club people were extremely friendly and the facilities first class, sad to be losing the bush out front to housing but not their fault. A shuttle on demand takes you there and it take a couple of minutes - so good! We will be back to this impressive resort many times I think (might have to skip the buffet though sadly)!

Stayed 2 nights and arrived midnight. Front staff were great. As a Gold Ambassador of Intercontinental we received an upgrade to a Queenslander Suite, which was fantastic and much appreciated as we had our daughter with us. The separate bedroom was great from a privacy perspective. It was pouring with rain at the time of arrival and the front desk man (wish I remembered his name) followed us to the car park in a buggy and then drove us to the room so we didn’t get soaked. Grounds were lovely, kangaroos roamed freely and the pool and lagoon pool were great. Happy to recommend.
