just got back from Sanctuary Cap Cana, lot of pics of facebook if any of you follow me.
Simply put, it was awesome. The food was great, the resort was beautiful, and the staff was INCREDIBLE. The entertainment staff was awesome, easily the best shows I've seen at an all-inclusive. The staff remembers your name, gets you involved, etc.
We stayed at the castle- older building and farther from the main hub but having a butler made it worth it. The walk gave us a chance to walk off our meals, and if we were all dressed up we'd text him for a ride on the golf cart. Having a butler in the castle was great- he booked our shuttle back to the airport, our covid test, our reservations for dinner or activities.
The beach was very small, but we couldnt use it anyway- the red seaweed was terrible, no matter how much they fought it. Not the resort's fault, but that is a huge consideration for us going back to certain areas of the caribbean unfortunately
if you do DR, you definitely have to do the Saona Isla excursion. It was 11 hours but the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen
