Sanctuary Cap Cana -Luxury All Inclusive, a Salamander Hotel

Everything was amazing! Food was great, lots of selections. Service is top notch! Everybody was super nice. Property is gorgeous, well maintained. Only downside is the beach is basically unswimable. Lots of seaweed. I dont think its the hotels fault, its just nature. Hotel tries to clean it up all day long but still comes back.

Sanctuary is a gorgeous property with great amenities and amazing staff! As soon as you get there they welcome you "home" and make you feel that you are at home! The staff was very kind and helpful as well as a lot of fun! Miami was the best! Events on the resort are great and quite entertaining. Food is very good (outside of dinner at Blue Marlin). The wildlife at the resort is amazing, especially the giant spiders which are very harmless and a part of the natural beauty! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Orbitz was also great in assuring us about our reservation and airport travel through the change over of resort management! So glad we were there with Salamader resort instead of Secrets!

On arrival everything was fine until i checked into my room. I had the ocean view junior suite, which looked and sounded lovely on-line. The room was old and shabby and smelt damp. It was more like a room that belonged in a 2star hotel. I was not happy at all. in the end i upgraded to a honeymoon suite with private pool which was a lot better but cost an extra 875us on top of my holiday. The private beach is tiny and not kept well. The restaurants in the hotel were nice, they had all top shelf drinks in the bars so no complaint there. The evenings entertainment was an absolute joke.

The accommodations and hotel staff were more than excellent. You are treated like royalty from the moment you arrive. There is plenty of pool space. The beach isn't that large, but you won't have to fight for a spot. Food was pretty good, but not all of the restaurants were open for dinner every night and the menus were not very expansive. I would definitely recommend this resort to honeymooners and couples wanting some R&R. If you are looking to party, there are not as many activities at the resort compared to others, but they do have bars open late.

Incredible service. Attentive when you needed food, drinks, etc., but not intrusive at all. Everything from the glassware, silverware etc. to the grounds were super clean. Food was as good as it gets on an island. Dining was always easy, whether it was breakfast, lunch or dinner. No lines. I've been to a lot of places and this was the easiest, most hassle free place I've been to. Adults only and all inclusive made it extremely relaxing.

Amazing hotel! Great rooms, restaurants, pools, service, just everything was great. Would definitely come back! Can't wait to come back! The service was amazing and they were very caring.

The hotel was wonderful! It was extremely nice and clean. We were immediately welcomed by staff and taken care of for the remainder of our stay. The lobby was beautiful. We were in a beachfront room that had a nice view of the ocean, a sitting area, spacious bed area, bathroom, closet, and entry hall. The entertainment and main pool area staff were amazing. They were very polite, fun, and social. You were definitely encouraged to get involved in activities if you were up for that, or you were left alone to simply relax. The food was decent with plenty of options to choose from. The burgers at the pool bar were great, the Italian restaurant was our favorite, and the 24-hour room service was perfect. It was nice because you did not have to have reservations at any of the restaurants, and we never had to wait for a table. All of the restaurants closed one night during the week at dinner, so you did have to plan for that in order to get to everything. One of our favorite spots to hang out with new friends was at the castle bar/pool area. It was not crowded, and we pretty much had the amazing view all to ourselves. Overall, great hotel with no complaints!

The resort was beautiful and the staff very friendly. Food was fabulous. Very relaxing not alot of on site activities. Beach small but beautiful. Down side was every morning we were awakened by a loud continuous banging noise at about 530 am. Sounded like a machine running below our room. Water trampoline was broken, bikes were no good. Two restaurants ran out of the food we wanted to order and the resort was not even close to being full plus some nights only had choice of two restaurants to eat at and we had to wait over an hour to be seated. Occassionally service was slow and when we called (twice) for our luggage to be picked up at check out, no one ever came so we carried it to the lobby ourselves. Housekeeping also came to clean our room a few nights when we were there changing for dinner. It is a wonderful resort and we had a really great time but would not spend the money to stay there again our stay at the Majestic Colonial was just as nice for a better price.

Being our first trip out of the country together it was absolutely perfect. The hotel staff, especially [...] and [...] were amazing and very personable! We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was just so relaxing and any troubles we had, they fixed promptly. The only thing that was frustrating was they required us to pay at check-in instead of check-out. Doesn't seem like a big deal but when you make plans with you bank to make a huge pull on your account on a particular day and you try a week in advance of that day, it causes problems. Other than that it was delightful. Great Food, Great People, Great Weather! If you want to book excursions, do it once you are at the hotel, seemed cheaper that way. It is more of a low-key resort, not alot of night life, but the little they have is a smaller group that you get to know more people around you, very fun!! =) ENJOY!! We can't wait to take another trip!!

My boyfriend and I traveled here last week. We had a wonderful time. Beautiful property. Wonderful food. (We are both pretty particlar.)This was my first experience with an all inclusive property. He has been two other 5 star all inclusive properties in the Caribbean...he said they did not even compare to this place. Very exclusive and private, great/friendly staff and service, wonderful food. Room was to die for. Worth the extra price to stay here. If we would go back to the Dominican in the future we would absolutely stay here again.
