Why We Love This Deal

It's a bit of a hike to the Outer Banks, a line of North Carolina islands fringing the wild Atlantic. But once we get there, we never want to leave. 

The 4-star Sanderling Resort is a perfect home base for a longer stay. The grounds of the resort feature a private stretch of beach, three pools and an award-winning spa.

And Travelzoo members get to stay here for 50% off during the prime travel seasons of summer and fall.

The hotel is very nice - beach vibe with beautiful seating areas/fireplace overlooking the ocean. The rooms are large with a very large patio furnished nicely. The rooms in the Beach house and separate from the building with the bar/restaurant and across the street from the spa and indoor pool. The indoor pool didn't look very inviting but there are two outdoor pools and hot tubs behind the Beach House along with a very large fire pit with plenty of seating. The bar are was a pleasure because of Taylor who is a master at making wonderful cocktails and a terrific conversationalist with a great sense of humor.

We have never been to the Outer Banks and all our travels and, for a first time trip, this was absolutely awesome! Sanderling was wonderful. The staff was courteous and helpful And the room was comfortable and functional. The grounds were meticulously kept in the hot tub was really grand. A walk on the beach and then walking back to our room each night was really a treat. I would highly recommend this place for anyone that wants to get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy life

The staff is professional 150%! They are always there when you need them and are always busy making your trip better. You can tell by how they respond and how hard they work that they really enjoy what they’re doing. I will definitely be back

I would have appreciated the option to have a microwave in the room due to the distance we had to travel for lunch and dinner.

The Resort was very clean and in a great location. The Lifesaving restaurant was very shorthanded. It took us 2 hours to order, get our drinks and eat our breakfast. The food was good.

Not what I expected for what I paid ( see below). Also only one restaurant was open on the property contrary to what it said at booking ( Kimballs's was closed) so not much choice for dining.
Other Comments
The room was not really " oceanfront" but adjacent to the parking lot. I would have preferred a room in a different building with less noise from the busy street.

Staff/front desk was very accommodating… Grounds were lovely. We went because it’s normally out of our price range, but affordable with travel zoo deal. Rooms had been upgraded and were nice. Again, all staff were very friendly and nice.
