We have done a lot of staycations in Phoenix and Scottsdale, but Sanctuary by far exceeded any experiences we've had elsewhere. Granted it was for a 3 year anniversary and the vibes we had set a good platform for an awesome weekend, but the resort itself was perfect in so many ways. We were able to snag a room with a balcony and were welcomed with chocolate covered strawberries in celebration of the anniversary.
The rooms are so beautiful - I just wanted to jump on the bed, open and close all the doors and drawers and fill the bath tub up with hot water and fancy salts. How cool is that window between the bathroom and bedroom? Super cool. It's the small things. The staff was incredibly friendly, gracious and helpful at every turn which made our stay even more relaxing.
The pool was pretty stellar. Very fun chill on the patio outside Elements and enjoy a drink overlooking the pool, but it was even better to lounge in the sun during the day with a blood mary or strawberry basil lemonade. It wasn't too crowded which was nice and the service was prompt. The Sanctuary flip flops were pretty fun too. I feel like I'm still basking in Sanctuary glory even though it's been a week already since our stay. I will definitely recommend this to out of town guests looking for an indulgent splurge. Anniversary perfection.
