The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island Golf Resort earned Mobil's five-star designation for 2008—yet another feather in a cap decorated with the AA Five Diamond Award, membership in Preferred Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, and top ratings from Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, and Andrew Harper's Hideaway Report. Just 21 miles from the cobblestone streets of Charleston, South Carolina, the hotel provides an unforgettable venue for incentives and meetings on a ten-mile-long Lowcountry island fringed by white sand beach and acres of marshlands.
Although the island's wild beauty suggests an out-of-this-world location, a professional meeting staff oversees 18,000 square feet of state-of-the-art conference space at the hotel. The eight flexible meeting rooms, 255 gracious accommodations, and world-class leisure amenities create nearly limitless ways to customize a gathering. Plus, groups have access to lodging in nearly 600 vacation villas and luxury homes, more than 10,000 square feet of additional meeting space in the resort's freestanding East Beach Conference Center, and more than 20,000 square feet at a trio of golf clubhouses.
Golf lies at the heart of the Kiawah Island experience for sports enthusiasts. The action begins at the Ocean Course—designed by Pete Dye and home of the 1991 Ryder Cup Matches and the 2007 Senior PGA and 2012 PGA Championships—and goes on to four other courses by Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, Gary Player, and Clyde Johnston. A Mobil Five-Star Award–winning spa—one of only three in North America—plus nearly a dozen fine restaurants and lounges, tennis, and extensive nature programs complete the array of amenities on hand.

The staff is wonderful. If you need help, everyone was willing to help - you didn't get the "that's not my job" type of response. The staff goes out of their way to make it a spectacular event stay.
It poured rain 2 hours before our opening night dinner (to be held poolside), with a chance for more to come. Once it was decided to the outdoor event was a go, all guests saw was an army of people (hotel staff and event staff) reset the pool for the evening dinner. We told guests there would be a 30-45 minute delay due to the weather. With the army of people the hotel had on had, dinner was delayed 15 minutes.
