Sanctuary Cap Cana

Wonderful relaxing vacation. Be sure to book dinner reservations early. We were not able to get into Wok or Capriccio until the last two nights of our stay. They were both excellent! We enjoyed the Blue Marlin for lunch. The coffee shop was wonderful. We enjoyed getting coffee, sitting on the patio and enjoying the view. The staff was amazing. Our biggest disappointment was the lack of pool chairs with an umbrella. Many guests “reserved” chairs in several locations (pool and beach) that sat empty for hours. We realized that you had to get up around 7:30 to set your stuff in a chair and pay an attendant to watch your stuff in order to secure an umbrella. The beach was very small and rocky. We spent most of our time at the pool. Having a pool float was a nice way to cool off. (Bring your own if you don’t want purchase one at top $)

We went to Punta Cana for our first visit to the Dominican Republic and stayed at Sanctuary Cap Cana because we were looking for a Marriott Bonvoy property that was upscale and being an adults only all-inclusive, we got the be best of all worlds! Our Marriott Ambassador status got us upgraded to the Castle side of the property instead of a standard oceanfront suite that I booked, so we received the services of a butler for the duration of our stay and Samuel Tejeda, made our stay so smooth! All of the staff from the morning breakfast and pool crew, to the activities crew, to the dinner staff and turndown service were so friendly. Our room was very large and comfortable. The food was the best we had had from an all-inclusive, period. We will go back to the Sanctuary again.

Our stay at Sanctuary Cap Cana was lovely! The resort is beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. Our butler, Emilio, was excellent and took great care of us during our stay. We really enjoyed the delicious breakfast and the overall friendliness of the staff. The drinks were fantastic and poolside service were especially great.

We booked Sanctuary Cap Cana for a quick three-night getaway before my boyfriend started a new job, and after doing a lot of research, I’m so glad we chose it! Because we knew we’d stay on the resort the entire trip, our biggest priorities were great service and good food—which can sometimes be hit or miss at an all-inclusive. Sanctuary absolutely delivered on both. The food was great, the resort was beautiful and extremely clean, and the service was genuinely 10/10. Every person we encountered, from reception and housekeeping to the bartenders, restaurant staff and pool service, was incredibly kind and welcoming. We upgraded to the Castle and would absolutely recommend it. It felt private, quiet and elevated, with our own pool and butler service. Our butler, Emilio, was AMAZING. He handled our dinner and spa reservations, made sure we experienced everything the resort had to offer during our short stay, and was always there if we needed anything. One evening when it started raining, he even picked us up in a golf cart with an umbrella and personally walked us to the restaurant. It was those little touches that made the experience so special. We also loved that the resort is adults-only. We visited in early October during the slower season, so it was incredibly peaceful and secluded while still never feeling deserted. The weather was beautiful with only brief rain each day. Overall, Sanctuary was absolutely worth the money. Beautiful resort, great food, incredible service and the relaxing getaway we were looking for. We would 100% stay again—and if you book the Castle, hopefully you’re lucky enough to get Emilio!

My husband and I spent a long weekend at Sanctuary Cap Cana celebrating our anniversary, and it was absolutely amazing! It was exactly the relaxing, romantic getaway we were hoping for. We were upgraded to an incredible room with a beautiful ocean view and easy access to both the beach and pool. The resort itself is gorgeous—the main pool pictured here was one of our favorite places to relax, and the entire property is even more beautiful in person. But what really made our trip special was our personal butler, Camacho. He was fantastic and truly took care of everything for us. He made our dinner reservations, made sure we always had towels and water, arranged rides around the resort, and gave us recommendations for all the fun things happening during our stay. We never had to worry about anything because Camacho was always one step ahead of us. He absolutely made our vacation! The resort was beautiful, the service was wonderful, and we had such a great time celebrating our anniversary together. We left wishing we had booked a few more days! We would absolutely return to Sanctuary Cap Cana—and if you have the opportunity to have Camacho as your butler, you’re in very good hands! ❤️
