The only nice thing I can say about this place is that the beach is beautiful. From being locked out on our balcony in 45˚ weather by a broken lock to being lied to about spa renovations being complete when they weren't even close to spa staff loudly joking and laughing right outside the door during our massage to the complete ...

Great Visit Off Season
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/11/09
I stayed at this resort off season, it was my first time staying in the outer banks and after many business trips I was looking for peace and quiet, and that is exactly what I found. The room was lovely, I stayed in the north wing with a view of the waterfall. The first morning I took a walk on the sound side on the nature trail and then back to ...
The Sanderling calls itself a resort, but its service is far from any resort I've ever been to. There was no one to greet us or help us with our luggage when we checked in. The "Sound View" is a nice view of the parking lot, so we insisted we be moved. The concierge was also completely incompetent and ruined an anniversary surprise. Was not impressed.
We arrived July 8th and departed July 15th. The first 24 hours we had 3 different rooms. The first room we checked in had a very old old shower and bathtub. My husband is over 6 feet tall and the shower head came to his belly button. The second room the birds started screaming at 10pm and didnt stop until 6am. Couldnt sleep one mintue. So ...

We can't wait to go back!

This was our first trip to the Outer Banks and the Sanderling made it a wonderful experience for us. We plan on going back next summer. The service was very good, staff was friendly and helpful.

The Sanderling is not only in a perfect location but it's feel is like a big open lodge. The staff is out to take care of you, The rooms are spacious with a spectacular view. I really love the atmosphere, the afternoon tea, the big reading room and the free Sunday papers!

OUTSTANDING!!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/07/05
This is a gorgeous resort with first-class service. Complimentary bottle of fine wine is a great welcome gift. This is a fantastic couples' vacation resort.
the Sanderling is a wonderful hotel with great service! We were lucky to get a "loft" with sitting area downstairs and sleeping area upstairs. The Left Bank, the hotel's fine dining restaurant, is an experience in itself! Truly worldclass. The only comment I have is that somebody needs to figure out the way the 100 US$ gift certificate works!!!
