A Different Auberge Experience

The property was not as beautiful or equipped as other Auberge Resorts we have visited. The property is an alternative to Kiawah Island, however, any portfolio home would be an upgrade. And, there is no comparison to The Sanctuary. The overall feel and spa offerings were a bit of a let down. The staff was lovely, although they ran my credit card 4x for a prepaid stay...which seemed like a training issue. The rooms are spacious with screened in porches. The room access is via open corridor. The exterior is stucco and pressure treated wood...higher quality products would have definitely made a difference in how the property feels. The spa has a small relaxation room and a tiny little hut outside, which is the sauna. There are no other spa amenities...no pool, jacuzzi, steam, elaborate showers. They are pet friendly, which is a very welcome option. I would most likely choose a different resort in the future, unless I have the dog with me.
