We spent a full week at Sanctuary and couldn't have been happier with our choice. First, the airport in Punta Cana is small by most Western standards. There aren't many flights coming and going so customs coming in and checking in on the way out were a total snap. Exiting the airport a taxi driver had a sign with our... More

The staff is great; everyone was friendly and helpful... However, this is not yet a 5 star resort. The food is nothing to write home about (it's good, but not wonderful and definitely not worth the prices they list on the menu), the minibar is the worst I've ever experienced (only beer, no alcohol) and we were unable to watch...

GREAT PLACE, GREAT SERVICE, GREAT VACATIONS. This is a really special place, the people are unbelievable friendly and give an excellent service and make you feel the king. You have many different options for staying, single rooms to big houses with many rooms and pools. So there is something for each taste. The only negative point I can mention is... More

We booked this resort for our honeymoon for 10 days in July of 2011. We chose this resort because of the positive reviews and thought that the bad reviews were just from people who are never happy. I wish we had not ignored the negative reviews. The POSITIVES: Very nice greeting when you first arrive, the grounds were beautiful, the... More

Our trip was just wonderful. Sanctuary is a BEAUTIFUL property. Well maintained and immaculately clean. The beach is raked every morning so it's perfect. The staff is beyond fantastic. The food was delicious in every restaurant. Loved the seafood at the Blue Marlin. Our villa was perfect. Steps from the beach. The first night is rained very hard and it... More

In general I thought this hotel was excellent. Gorgeous grounds and probably the best beachfront I've seen in the Dominican Republic. My only trepidation was the fact that it is what I would call a 'work in progress.' There is a tremendous amount of anticipation about this area, which was still heavily under construction when I visited. Another 5 years... More

I rarely write reviews after returning from vacation, however since the Sanctuary was so amazing, I wanted to share my experience! I Travelled with my girlfriend and 7 other members of her family. The resort was absolutely perfect. We stayed in the Castle suites, and our rooms were spotless, big, and well appointed. This is a very high end resort,... More

My first holiday in the Caribbean, it was beautiful, hot and relaxing. I stayed for 5 nights in Sanctuary Cap Cana with my friend and enjoyed every minute of it. What a wonderful resort! I could not ask for more for the quality of accommodation and service. The staff was incredible! They were genuinely concerned with whether or not we... More

I really wanted to love Sanctuary Cap Cana. It's location is stunning - surrounded by sparkling Caribbean water. The architecture is impressive. But, unfortunately, the resort does not meet with the expectations of a five star property. Accommodations We stayed in an oceanfront Junior Suite in the Fortress. The room was spacious with a very nice bathroom with separate shower... More
