This resort is very nice, if you are a pool person this resort is for you. The beach is terrible. The water is all dirty. You cannot swim in it. So if you are a beach person like me, this is not a resort for you.
The service by the pool was excellent. All the staff was very nice. By the pool, Oscar was always checking in if everything is good if we need anything else.
The entertainment team was also very nice always checking in if everything is OK specially John and Rodrigo.
However, I think by the pool more activities should be added, instead of having them in the disco which is hidden away.
For example, the Salsa and bachata dance should be by the pool where everybody is all the time.
The spa was perfect the Service was excellent and the facility was very clean.
Gym also very nice and a good size.

I have nothing but wonderful things to share. We were here for our honeymoon and it was such an amazing experience. Our butler in the castle was Frank and he was so very accommodating. We can say that there is not a lot going on at the resort, so when you do get tired of eating, drinking and swimming, you are done at the resort. Not much entertainment and on two occasions when there was to be evening entertainment, they did not show. Having the butler service though solved that problem quickly. We were ready to leave the resort for something different and when we asked Frank for suggestions, he immediately sprung into action and found us things to do with very short notice. The food was great and the bartenders and all staff was over the top amazing! We will be back with a better plan for excursions. The beach is the least attractive part of the resort. It is muddy, small and full of seaweed and there are no water sports available at the resort. Some extra activities at the beach would be great! They could stand to add some different beers and better wine, but you expect that when going to an all inclusive.

Honeymoon AND first anniversary destination! Nestled within the exclusive gated community of Cap Cana, this resort boasts private access to a beautiful, powder-white beach and crystal-clear turquoise waters. The lush tropical gardens, colonial-inspired architecture, and tranquil ambiance create an idyllic sanctuary. Whether you're seeking a romantic escape or a relaxing getaway, this resort offers the perfect atmosphere to unwind.
The rooms and suites are nothing short of spectacular. We’ve opted for the iconic Castle, staying in the swim out suite, and ocean view suite. We loved that the Castle was secluded from the more centrally located buildings. Our rooms also came with butlers, who made us feel like royalty for our entire stay.
Sanctuary Cap Cana is a dream destination. It offers a perfect balance of luxury, romance, and serenity, making it ideal for honeymoons, anniversaries, or a peaceful retreat. With exceptional service, gourmet dining, and breathtaking surroundings, this resort leaves a lasting impression that will have you planning your next visit before you even check out.

Location and views are incredible.
Food was average at best. Most dishes served cold restaurants and buffet.
Room was the bigger issue. Changed rooms multiple times. Noisy AC and wouldn’t cool below 75’. Toilet would not stop running. Worse issue was returning one evening to our door being left open from the turn down service. Luckily nothing missing.
Very sad and would not recommend. Too many other great options in the DR. Melia is our new go to resort brand.
This felt nothing like a Marriott and was the opposite of luxury.

The butler service was fantastic, our butler was extremely helpful and attentive throughout our stay. The food was mostly good, although the Italian restaurant was disappointing. We paid over $1k for an upgrade to the honeymoon suite, which was not worth it. While the private pool was nice, we found ants all over the balcony on arrival. The bath was difficult to operate, and later in the stay, the closet began leaking, getting some of our clothes wet. Though our butler kindly offered to have them cleaned, we were leaving soon, so it wasn’t necessary. Overall, the stay was fine, but I’d recommend avoiding the honeymoon suite and doing an upgrade.
