Reviews for InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort
Alysss Scerri
I had such a beautiful experience at The Pool Lagoon, thanks to the wonderful service provided by Rosalie She was incredibly attentive, kind, and genuinely lovely throughout my visit. Her warm personality and professional manner made me feel completely relaxed , It’s rare to find someone so thoughtful and dedicated. I truly appreciated her and can’t recommend her highly enough — she made my experience just that much better

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!

Sanctuary Cove has been part of our story for over 30 years. We first came here in 1995 to be married — our reception was held at The Fireplace Restaurant — and we’ve been returning ever since. Over the years, we’ve watched the resort evolve beautifully. The grounds are more stunning than ever, the amenities have grown with care, and the atmosphere remains perfectly balanced between relaxed and refined. When we returned recently to celebrate our wedding anniversary, it felt like coming home. The staff were outstanding — warm, professional, and genuinely happy to make our stay memorable. Dining again at The Fireplace was incredibly special; sitting in the same place where we celebrated our wedding all those years ago brought back so many wonderful memories. Sanctuary Cove continues to be world-class in every way, but for us, it’s more than that — it’s a place filled with heart, history, and the feeling of belonging.

This once lovely resort is pretty tired and in need of a revamp. Linen is old and grey, the bath in our room had rust on the bottom but the bed was comfy and room spacious. The furniture around the pool needed a good blow to remove the debris lodged in the mattresses and the tables were filthy, the area was not cleaned at the end of each day. No pool service which was surprising, although this may change in the height of summer. No towels available til mid morning which was annoying. The grounds away from the main areas look neglected for an intercom which makes the place look dirty. The staff were all lovely and very helpful and the resort was very peaceful but won’t be rushing back.

Amazing experience! Today, on my birthday, coming here was the best decision I could’ve made. I spent my break from work using the Day Pass, and it was exactly what I needed! The team was incredibly welcoming and the service was 10/10. Beautiful atmosphere and definitely a place you don’t want to miss out on!
