Review of The Sanderling Resort & Spa

Had a lovely time, and the location is phenomenal. That said, the price tag implies a 5 star resort experience and that is not what one will find at the Sanderling. Attention to detail is key and that seems to be what was missing for us. Though all were minor inconveniences easily tolerable at a roadside hotel, they should be non-issues at a resort-caliber establishment: Chipped soap dishes, hooks falling off the wall, no USB ports built into rooms, no glass/cups by the bathroom sink for oral care, sandy stairwells, and no water of any kind available at the fitness center. I understand it's standard practice these days not to clean rooms during guest stays because of COVID, but I don't understand or condone it-a freshly made bed and fresh towels should be a daily experience no matter the precautions.
Our 3 meals at the Lifesaving Station Restaurant were fantastic and our server Sandy at dinner was beyond exceptional.
