They really added to our stay. Joe the Bartender and Gineete the hostess at the Italian restaurant are spectacular. Really great people offering tremendous service. The main check in desk staff were great, just loved the experience.

Our stay at this resort exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed. Every interaction was warm, attentive, and professional—whether it was the front desk, housekeeping, or the restaurant team, everyone went out of their way to ensure we had an amazing experience. The entire resort was spotless. You can tell the staff takes great pride in keeping everything beautifully maintained. Our room was immaculate, the common areas were pristine, and even the outdoor spaces were kept in perfect condition throughout our stay. Beyond the cleanliness, the service stood out the most. The team was always quick to assist, offered helpful recommendations, and constantly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. It made the stay feel personal and truly special. Overall, the combination of outstanding service, friendly staff, and an exceptionally clean and well-kept resort made this trip unforgettable. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, worry-free getaway.

Our ocean view suite was beautiful. The housekeeping and concierge staff was amazing. The star of our pool side service was Omar. His service was over the top. He made us feel like we were the only people at the pool. Other servers were not as attentive on service and cleanliness around the pool. On the days that Omar was not working, pool staff walked by pool trash such as cups, leaves and a lime. The lime sat by the edge of the pool for two days. The best restaurant on site was Capriccio the service and food were excellent. The Wok also was very good. Service at the Blue Marlin was lacking and the staff tried to pass swordfish off as the red snapper. All in all we had a wonderful time.

Property is immaculate! Rooms are impeccable. They are clean, quiet, and very comfortable. The staff is over the top welcoming and always helpful. The pool areas are clean and accessible. Only negative is not enough umbrellas for those hot Caribbean days. Alcoholic drinks are readily available and service staff checks on you regularly. The beach area is small and was not accessible during our stay. I believe they are working on it to prevent further erosion. The restaurants are very good overall. The Italian restaurant is by far the best! The Steakhouse and Wok are excellent, I feel the Blue Marlin was below average. Although we didn’t always have a reservation at the Wok, we were always seated. Overall, a very positive experience and highly recommend it.

First off, kudos to the pool attendants, restaurant servers, the room cleaning staff, pretty much every one that made our stay worth it, except the concierge and front desk personnel, including the supervisor who did not greeted us. My wife and I were celebrating our 30th anniversary. We chose this hotel after watching a lot of videos in YouTube and social media. We were expected to be greeted with a welcome drink, explain all the activities available, a map of the hotel, wifi access, etc. Just basic info upon checking in. Well, NOTHING of the sort. Just a guy telling us that they have a room with two beds, with partial ocean view (even though the website says a junior suite, with balcony and ocean view) and there is nothing they can do, other than upselling us a suite with true ocean view for almost $400 a night. Not a great anniversary experience so far. Honestly, two big things stand out during our stay: The food is mediocre at best (except for the Japanese Fusion Restaurant). And the rooms are outdated and smelled humid. The beach was closed (we were not told) and will remained closed until further notice. As I mentioned initially, we had to mentioned it was our anniversary at the restaurants, bars and the pools that we started being noticed and congratulated by all the wonderful service staff. The hotel itself did not move a finger for us. It should not be advertised as a 5 star hotel, specially under the name Marriott. No difference with a Holliday Inn.

We have been going Sanctuary Cap Cana for the past 10 years. The best thing about the place is the people that work there. They treat you like family. They also remember what you like and make you feel special. The property has always been beautiful and the food is good for an all inclusive resort. The resort has changed over the years, mostly for the better. We always feel relaxed and taken care of. Marriott is the current brand and with that hopefully they can focus on changing the food options as they have become repetitive through the years. They have done a great job with the Wok and Italian restaurant but in my opinion the steak house needs a new menu. They have taken away filets and racks of lamb as an example. The drinks are good, minus almost zero bourbon options. They should consider opening the sanctuary town during the day for lunch once a week to mix up the lunch options. The food there is good (pizza, tacos, sushi) but how can you truly enjoy it when you have dinner plans. They have been working on the beach issue and I'm sure it will be taken care of soon. Overall we love visiting Sanctuary and we will return in the future.

Jensy at the pool full of professionalism, great customer service and very polite. Cristian at the pool bartender also very professional and attentive. Kelvin concierge excellent personality. He was always helpful ensuring my husband had a tee time for golf and transportation to and from the golf course. I would recommend this resort to all couples looking for relaxation and an escape from the monotony and stress from work. Definitely coming back!!! I almost forgot to mention the housekeeping staff!!! Room was impeccable!!! Thank you all!!!

Disliked: Amenities
1. The property, although beautiful in design needs serious attention. Weathered paint, broken and/or very much worn equipment, signage, etc that have gone way too long with apparent little to no upkeep or pride in appearance. 2. We were in the “upgraded” section of the property, the “Castle”, in a swim out suite of a private pool. The pool was disgusting, dirty and had copies amounts of algae and visible debris and slime all over the bottom and sides. I have seen better pools in apartment complexes. 3. Although the resort is “All Inclusive”, with a huge selling point about “24 hour room service”, it wasn’t until we arrived that the much bragged about room service came with a $10 delivery charge. 4. We were turned away from the restaurant we were most interested in because it was closed for a private party. 5. Sanctuary Town, advertised as a really chic row of restaurants included in the all inclusive package was closed 3 of the 4 nights we were there. Avoid this resort… not worth it. Save your money and go elsewhere.

First I would like to mention how great the staff was., very nice and attentive. We were there from Wednesday through Sunday and we saw the exact same staff, morning, noon and night. I can’t say enough about how great they were. The resort is very clean and very quiet. The beach area was a little disappointing but that wasn’t the resort fault. We went to the spa and had a wonderful message and hydration therapy. Very nice! Food was really good! I highly recommend this resort.

The property is beautiful, the room was great and the food was outstanding. Ginette and Alix in food service went out of their way to make each meal special. They deserve a big bonus! There needs to be more food options though. There were only 5 restaurants to start with and they are not all open every night so options were somewhat limited.

Love our butler, Carlos! Had a wonderful stay and staff are the best. This is our second year in a row, and we are already making plans for next year. PERFECT for couples.

The pool was great! They said the Sanctuary Town would be open Wednesday-Saturday and because it rained they kept it closed limiting things to do and places to eat to 3 places. The bathtub in our room did not work, the smoke detector in our room kept beeping even after us asking them to fix it, and the mini bar was never stocked unless we specifically called and requested it. They didn’t clean our room 3 days in a row which was very frustrating.
