    I am so excited for this video because the Sanctuary is very special for me as well. I’ve been to the Sanctuary many times and even celebrated my son’s 18th birthday with all the family and his best friends. I always get the suite they are specious and very nice I love everything about this little resort within a resort because it feels so safe and everything you need is a few steps away.

    Thanks for showing us a new option, Mike. It looks a little bit more intimate than the Sanctuary in Cayo Santa Maria.
    Bonus, it’s one of the few sun spots we can book direct out of Saskatoon. Prices are at a premium from out west. Two weeks in Feb., booking a suite like yours, is about $3500 pp, or regular room at $3k. It’s approaching Punta Cana and Cancún pricing, but we like the smaller, boutique beach vibe of this resort.

    Anutha great video homie! Curious, I have brought down first aid stuff like in your video twice. Both times taken away by customs at the airport. Not sure if it’s illegal to do so or if the officers take it for their own use and share among the airport staff officers? Any idea? And secondly, I love quiet. This resort seems great. I’m a light sleeper cause of everything so close at its peak season from your room can you hear loud, drunk and obnoxious people at the 24 hour snack bar?
    And side note and what I appreciate the most about your reviews is first you speak quietly at dawn to not wake up other guests. Wish others were as respectful as you. Thanks
