Sanctuary Cap Cana, a Luxury Collection Resort, Dominican Republic, Adult All-Inclusive 

We recently returned from a 4-night stay at Sanctuary Cap Cana and had a really enjoyable experience overall — what truly made the trip stand out was the service from the staff throughout the resort. We stayed in a Junior Suite with a swim-up pool, which was absolutely worth it. Having that extra space to relax (especially in the afternoons after the beach) made the room feel like its own private retreat. Our butler, Camacho, was outstanding. He checked in with us every day to share the day’s activities, helped coordinate dinner reservations on site, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. It struck a perfect balance of attentive without ever feeling intrusive. At the beach and pool, Felix took great care of us — helping secure chairs based on whether we were feeling more “beach day” or “pool day,” getting us set up with towels, and checking in periodically to see if we needed anything. It made the daily setup seamless and stress-free. Our housekeeper, Jebylyn, also did a wonderful job keeping our room spotless and refreshed each day, which we really appreciated coming back to after long days in the sun. Dining was a bit of a mixed bag: • Casabella was great for both breakfast and lunch — lots of casual options and an easy, relaxed way to start the day or grab something midday without feeling overly formal. • Wok was our favorite dinner by far — both in terms of food and ambiance. We ended up wishing we had gone back a second time. • Capriccio (Italian) was good, but not great. It’s definitely a more formal dining experience, so be sure to follow the dress code if you plan to dine there. • The Steakhouse, on the other hand, was just okay. The food didn’t quite live up to expectations, and the wine situation was frustrating — only house wine was available by the glass, with all other options being bottle-only and priced $200+, which felt excessive for an all-inclusive experience. Overall, Sanctuary Cap Cana delivered a relaxing and service-forward stay. The people working there truly make the experience, and we’re grateful to Camacho, Felix, and Jebylyn for helping make our trip so smooth and enjoyable!
