Creator's Key Takeaways

The real win was when we got to go out to the sanctuary itself. And they had a champagne wall with somebody holding champagne out, a little window for you.

The service was impeccable. The ratio of staff to personnel in the sanctuary area was incredible.

I think I would choose the sanctuary. I was a lot more comfortable in the sanctuary.

Order food from the sanctuary menu for easy lounging.
