I had high hopes for Sanctuary Cap Cana, but unfortunately, the reality fell far short of the luxury promise. From the moment we entered our room, it was clear something was off. The air was muggy, and there was an unpleasant mold-like odor that lingered throughout our stay. Cleanliness was below expectations—our beds looked hastily made and didn’t feel fresh at all. Despite booking the all-inclusive package, surprise charges cropped up. I was billed $5 USD for a pizza box and another $5 for a Perrier water,also add $10 everytime you order room service, hardly what I’d call "all-inclusive". What’s worse, the service lacked the warmth typical of Caribbean hospitality. Staff rarely greeted guests, and basic courtesies like “good morning” seemed optional. The biggest letdown? The beach was completely covered in seaweed, rendering it unusable. No prior notice, no heads-up from the hotel—just a disappointing sight and restricted access to one of the main draws of the property. Sanctuary Cap Cana may boast impressive photos and luxury branding, but my stay felt more like a missed opportunity than a tropical retreat.

I stayed from 7/2 thru 7/05. The hotel is beautiful; is very peaceful and quite. The staff is very attentive. Downside long wait to eat at the specialty restaurant; there’s no buffet for dinner on a daily only basis; I was very disappointed when i got to the beach and found out it was close due to seaweed season. I think it should be communicate to the customer in Advance so you’re not surprise and can make your decision before heading out.
