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

My wife and I visited Sanctuary Capa Cana in March 2025. We had tried another all inclusive resort in Jamaica and were unimpressed. The food there was “just fine” (not great) and the overall resort was again “just fine” too. When we looked to try another we saw the ratings on Trip Advisor for Sanctuary and decided to give it a try. We are in the “more mature” age group and wasn’t interested in the whole party pool experience so we selected a Castle room looking for a quiet experience. Upon arrival we met Emelio or butler for the duration of our stay. My wife used a scooter and we wee able to get a room that allowed her to come and go without using the elevator and that was great. We also had some unusual requests I won’t get into in this forum and Emelio really came thru and exceeded every expectation. He was able to arrange for a set of lounges by the castle pool for us to use every day and we really enjoyed their use daily. About the resort. The facilities were outstanding. The rooms were very large, extremely comfortable and very well appointed. The restaurants were very good and the service in them was outstanding. For example, the staff at breakfast were always able to find us a table where we could roll the scooter up to the table and my wife could spin the scooter seat and eat without having to move to a regular chair. By the third day the staff recognized and welcomed us by name, had everything ready when we got there, and were great. I wish I could remember them by name to call them out here but they all were amazing. The Castle pool was exactly what we were looking for. Quiet, comfortable, and a bar and food less than 20 paces away. I didn’t try the spa but my wife did use the salon services and was quite happy with the results. One hint: as expected, the drinks were quite light in alcohol content (had three and felt quite normal) so if you are looking for a buzz, order a shot with your tropical drink and add it yourself. Overall, this resort meet and exceeded our expectations for an all-inclusive resort. We never and never felt the need to leave the resort but there are many opportunities to go if that is your desire. And Emelio and the Castle staff were great.
