Ok, here we go. I will give all tips that we learned. First, if you are looking for the "Hot party spot" of the Caribbean, this is not it. This resort is very quiet which my wife and I liked. (Reading reviews of this is why we chose Sanctuary) They did have a band play one night, but it is... More

Just stayed here a couple weeks ago. After reading the reviews I knew I would instantly like the place. Yes, don't go here if you're looking for a million people, want to wait for dinner reservations, like waiting to find chairs or beds beach-side, or have immediate attention at bars. The place is pretty big that there is time you... More

If I could give this two and a half stars, I would. My fiance and I visited the resort earlier this month as a pre-honeymoon, due to crazy work schedules after our wedding. We were really excited about the hotel, as the photos were beautiful and it looked a lot like paradise. I wish this was the case, though. Before... More

The Sanctuary is under new management (again). It was my 3rd time there and again I felt like I was Queen of the Castle. - literally my room was in the "fortaleza" or what we'd call a castle. The view is amazing, the rooms very nice, but overall, I keep coming back because of the service. I love the food... More

This was my first time visiting this Hotel, I have stayed in various All-inclusive resorts not just in Punta Cana, but in Puerto Plata and Mexico as well so I believe I know a good hotel when I stay in one. I have to say the Hotel's architecture, grounds and some of the more expensive rooms overlooking the beach are... More

We just returned from a 5 night, 6 day stay at this beautiful resort and had an amazing time! The all inclusive package was SO worth it (the only thing that didn't happen was the pool/beach wait service. Only 1 person walking around serving everyone. The food from the restaurants was average and the portion sizes were off. We preferred... More

We booked our trip to the Dominican Republic after examining all the reviews and ratings online. After lots of thought we decided on Sanctuary Cap Cana. We could not have made a better decision. Before booking our flight and room we received outstanding service from the concierge staff. They helped us decide on the correct room we were looking for... More

My wife and I just returned from a week at this beautiful resort. The rooms, architecture, and landscaping are terrific. The pools and the surrounding beaches were stunning (beach immediately in front of Sanctuary is very small). But the real highlight is the staff - particularly Danny (#1), Moises, Raul, Ernesto, Robert, Javier, Carlos, and Bernardo. These guys really understand... More

My boyfriend and I booked a last minute trip to Punta Cana in April 2013. It was just what we needed. Paradise... The Sanctuary was close to the airport so the commute was quick. Beware of taxi drivers trying to get over on you..we paid 30bucks after haggling a bit..they really wanted 40 dollars and some people paid a lot... More

This resort is just beautiful, very quiet atmosphere, beach and pools are clean and inviting. Food was plentiful and delicious , the Steakhouse, Blue Marlin and CasaBella my Favorites. But this resort is about the STAFF, they are amazing, can't say enough about how each and everyone of them was pleasant and fun. I've been in many resorts in Punta... More
