Punta Cana resort sparkles with swim-out suites, luxury spa

The sprawling villa façade of Sanctuary Cap Cana is only one clue to the grandeur that lies within. The Spanish Colonial-inspired resort spares no opulence. Guests retire to spacious suites and villas-some with direct access to the saltwater pool. Restaurants and bars play up the tropical setting, while an upscale spa ensures private time.

Highlights
  • Resort with high-end amenities
  • Full-service spa
  • Multiple restaurants and bars
  • Some rooms with direct access to the saltwater pool
  • Near two Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses
Rooms

Guests unwind in high style in the suites and villas in Sanctuary Cap Cana. Some rooms take on contemporary style (think espresso wood platform beds and mod lamps), while others veer more tropical (intricate cutout arches, straw-based furniture and knotty wood walls). Upscale amenities raise the comfort, thanks to fine linens, silk bathrobes and marble floors. Soaring ceilings and expansive patios or balconies amplify the luxury. An extraordinary treat: Some rooms offer swim-out access to the saltwater pool.

Features

Visitors get pampered at the resident spa, a retreat beloved for its pool, hydrotherapy services and massages. Guests also indulge in the five swimming pools, bartending and dance lessons and golf courses nearby.

Dining

Restaurants at Sanctuary Cap Cana pay special attention to ambiance. Blue Marlin, a casual seafood eatery, sets the scene for relaxation with oceanfront dining, while Argentinean grill The Steakhouse stirs drama with a cast iron and brick oven that uses charcoal to fire juicy meats to perfection. For the most special of occasions, request a private, candlelit, seaside table. Follow up with a cocktail at the romantic Love bar, one of many lounges on the property.

Sister Trip April 22-28

First let me say this is my second stay in Punta Cana. Two entirely different experiences at two entirely different hotels. This hotel is great if you are looking for a very quiet experience except for the children who seemed to appear on Friday and Saturday yelling and splashing in the main pool. Pool areas are beautiful and in fact all the grounds are gorgeous. Understand why you would want to bring your children here as there is limited areas they can escape to. Barriers at each end of beach front and play areas. Do not come here for the food. Was surprised that of the 5 restaurants only 1-3 are open each night. Steak House open only 2 of the 6 nights we were there. Blue Marlin, great view and decent food. This place needs to go all inclusive or not. A major pain to have to sign the check every time even in you have paid for all inclusive. Think this is their way of making certain you tip as there is a space on the check to add and you feel guilty if you don't. Room was in great location (beachfront ) close to everything but still quiet. Must say that if we needed anything they were there in mere minutes with the exception of room service. Entertainment was very limited very unlike the larger resorts that have major productions nightly. All in all would not come back here if not a couple or family. The castle seemed to be the place if you wanted to avoid children. Swimout rooms look very private and the pool and bar here frequented by couples only. Very quiet. All staff very friendly and make sure to know some minimal Spanish. No shopping off the resort and don't bother with the public beach as no better than the beach at the hotel. Make sure to bargain with the souvenir sellers as they expect it. Cheaper to buy your souvenirs from them rather than hotel shops or airport for certain! Didn't go on any excursions as was just looking to relax and that we did! Last note, if you are single and with friends or want gourmet food, this is not your hotel.
