We loved absolutely everything about the Madonna Inn. I had read lots of reviews about the staff being unpleasant, but I have to say that every single person we came in to contact with, were lovely and super helpful. The rooms are fantastic. We stayed in Jungle Rock and my boys LOVED it. The shower is amazing in this room as it's like a waterfall. The beds are huuuuuge too. We stayed a second night in a different room and the housekeeping staff moved our suitcases from one room to another - so slick and smooth! The facilities on the grounds are excellent. We stayed at the pool for hours. We also did the horseriding which I would definitely recommend. Breakfast at the Copper Cafe was lovely and the portions are massive (for someone from the UK) and dinner at the Alex Madonna Steakhouse was also great. I cannot wait to come back.

We had a great view of the ocean & the whole back of the property (pool, spas, etc) on the 4th floor! About 25 feet from our room was a rooftop patio overlooking the ocean & surrounding area. We loved the whole back area where the pool and spas, and little fire pit areas are. Great area to sit and eat the complimentary breakfast in the mornings and watch the waves! Breakfast was scrambled eggs, sausage or bacon, pancakes, waffles, bagles, fruit, juice, pasteries, and hot drinks. Room was good size, bed was large & comfortable. Coffee with kcups in the morning. Bath/shower combo. (My husband loves baths!) There is a restaurant that shares the parking lot on the property. They were good and delivered to your room, if you wanted.😊

Sanctuary Beach Resort was and absolute highlight of our trip! The location is stunning, right on the beach with breathtaking ocean views and direct access to the sand. Our bungalow-style room was beautifully designed, spacious, and had a private balcony where we could relax and watch the waves. The resort’s peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect place to unwind. We loved the fire pits in the evening, creating a cozy and romantic setting. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The on-site restaurant served delicious meals with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. If you’re looking for a serene and luxurious escape along the California coast, Sanctuary Beach Resort is a must-visit!

Checking in was a bit of a problem, had to wait a bit after check in time to get our room. Other than that, it was great. Beautiful views of the mountain. Nice big deck. Great place. We loved it.

The history and the love to detail makes it a most wonderful stay. Also a great way for young families to introduce kids to staying on a ship.
