My stay at the Intercontinental Sanctuary Cove Resort was a blend of beautiful surroundings and some service hiccups. The hotel's tropical feel, with stunning pools and abundant wildlife, created a lovely atmosphere, although the breakfast service was sluggish and staff training could use improvement. Overall, the experience varied between good and disappointing.

The Queenslander Suite I stayed in was spacious and lovely, complete with a balcony and a well-stocked mini bar. I was delighted to find kangaroos just outside my sliding door, adding a unique charm to my stay. However, the musty smell upon arrival and issues with the key card were minor annoyances.
Service
6.0
While I experienced some friendly service from certain staff members, the reception was disorganized and unhelpful when I had questions. Room service left a tray outside my door until the next morning, which was less than ideal. The slow breakfast service was disappointing, especially given the hotel's standing.

Breakfast featured a great variety of high-quality foods, although having assigned tables led to slow service during peak times. While the main family restaurant was underwhelming in terms of options, the fireplace restaurant offered excellent food.

The pool areas were fantastic, ideal for relaxation, though they occasionally felt overcrowded with children. The outdoor spaces were beautifully designed, and the amenities like dry cleaning and housekeeping were well-handled.

My stay at the Intercontinental Sanctuary Cove Resort was good, with elegant surroundings and friendly staff enhancing the experience. The Queenslander Suite we stayed in provided a charming ambiance, especially with kangaroos lounging right outside. However, I did find the pillows quite soft, lacking proper support for my neck, and the dining options could use some expansion to fully complement the beautiful setting.

Our Queenslander Suite was lovely, with a nice view of the garden and some unexpected wildlife right outside. The bathroom was well-equipped, although the shower's design was a bit odd and the pillows were disappointingly soft.

I found my recent stay at the Intercontinental Sanctuary Cove Resort to be a mixed experience. The location is beautiful and the atmosphere is quite relaxing, but I noticed the facility could use some improvements, especially in cleanliness and service. While the staff were friendly, they seemed a bit unprepared at times, which affected my overall satisfaction.

The room I stayed in was spacious and clean, with fresh linen provided daily. However, I did notice some cleanliness issues like hair on the floor, which wasn't expected at a five-star hotel.
Service

Service was friendly but lacked efficiency, especially in the dining area where I had to send my meals back multiple times. Additionally, the poolside service was slow, which was frustrating during peak times.

The resort is set in a gorgeous area surrounded by lush greenery and wildlife, which I loved. However, the access to some areas felt a bit neglected, with dirty walkways that detracted from the overall experience.

Dining options were somewhat enjoyable, but the breakfast buffet was underwhelming and items often ran out without replenishment. Waiting times were also longer than anticipated for food and drinks.

The pool and beach area are nice, but maintenance seemed lacking as I noticed dirty areas and uncleaned items. The pool closes at sunset, which limited evening swimming opportunities.

My stay at the Intercontinental Sanctuary Cove had its ups and downs. The beautiful grounds and comfortable bedding stood out, yet the overall service left much to be desired. Staff shortages were apparent, affecting everything from dining to poolside service. I appreciated the clean rooms and lovely amenities, but the outdated appearance and inconsistent service made it hard to fully enjoy my experience.

Rooms

The room was clean and spacious with high-quality features. However, it felt a bit dated and lacked restocking of basic amenities like tea and coffee. I noticed some leftover items that shouldn't have been there, which was not ideal.
Service

While the staff I encountered were polite and friendly, there seemed to be a shortage of help across the board. It was frustrating having to track down pool staff for service and dealing with slow restaurant service even when the hotel wasn't full.

The resort is situated in a lovely area, with beautiful marine and garden views. However, the outdated walkways and the need to pay for parking detracted from the overall experience.

I enjoyed the breakfast with a range of options, although I felt it was overpriced and not worth the long wait. Most meals at the resort weren't as enjoyable compared to dining outside the hotel, where I found much better service.

The lagoon pool was amazing and perfect for swimming. Unfortunately, there were maintenance issues like rough concrete steps which caused minor cuts, and the saltwater lagoon had issues that deterred my daughter from swimming.
