Thanks for the feedback. We liked it there as well, and it’s always great to get other options from people who have been there too. Safe Travels!

Thanks, we really appreciate the comment. Have a great trip and safe travels!

Thanks for the information, that is very helpful. We did notice the bathroom issue, but didn’t tour the family side and was hoping it would be a little more discreet than the adults only side, but it doesn’t look like that was your experience. We didn’t get a chance to stay there, only tour the property. We stayed at Secrets Cap Cana this trip, so it’s nice to have others experiences and opinions to help us. We will definitely keep this in mind when recommending this resort to our clients. Thanks again and safe travels.

Thanks for the info about the bathrooms. I don’t know why they think an adult couple wouldn’t want bathroom privacy.

@@take2-travel Which one would you say is better, the Secrets Cap Cana or the Margaritaville?

Thanks! We were there in July.

You’re welcome, we’re glad you found the video helpful. They have recently changed the name of several areas in the resort, so I’m not 100% sure. I believe they are referring to those now as “beachfront”. In the past I believe they were “ocean view”.

We agree, we are the same way when it comes to wanting a kid free vacation. I have heard they recently split the resort and are now doing an adults only pool, restaurant, and bar. I’m not sure how many restaurants or which ones are adults only, they haven’t said, but it’s a start.

Oh wow, thank you so much for searching for us and subscribing. It's been a bit since we were there and they have changed a few things up, but I'll share what I remember. They had several different varieties of entertainment available in the evening. They had pool parties that carried over into the evening, and different events around their "Main Stage" area like live bands and silent disco parties. They also have bonfires on the beach and live entertainment there too. These happen on different nights, so you would have to check the event schedule when you arrive so you don't miss them. They also have live music and entertainment at the brewery that is on site. So, that is an option too. The luxury rooms come with a daily full-stocked mini-bar. You should also receive what they refer to as "Joe Merchant's" credits or cash. This is free money you are able to use in the merchant shop. You can use that money to personalize your in-room bar or get some snacks. When we were there they had a large selection of alcohol and snacks available to purchase with the Joe Merchant credits and it was reasonably priced. I know a few things have changed, but overall I think it operates pretty much the same as it did when we visited. I believe you will have a great time. I know we can't wait to go back and visit again. Make sure to tell them it's your anniversary when you arrive. Sometimes resorts will provide something special for you when you are celebrating a special occasion like that. I hope this helped a little. When you get back, send us a message and let us know what you think. I'd be interested in knowing your opinion on the place. Safe Travels!

Thank you for watching. We appreciate the support.

They have the typical beach and water activities you find at many resorts including beach volleyball, paddleboarding, kayaking, etc. They do have a good nightlife. When we were there, they had night pool parties, beach bonfires, and nightly entertainment in the theater. They have a brewery onsite too that offers live music, and they show sporting events on their big screen. They have split the resort into an adults only section and a family-friendly section since we were there, so some activities may have changed a little and they may have added even more. Safe Travels!

Yes, all of the bars and restaurants are included. You can eat and drink as much as you want.

Alambike, a designer restaurant is not.

That’s a tough one but I think the Secrets edges it out a little. But it’s really two different vibes. Secrets is all adults only, elevated luxury. Margaritaville is mix of family and adult, with adult sections. It’s beautiful and very nice with excellent food but not the romantic vibe that Secrets offers.

We typically book our transfers included in our vacation packages. The company that we use is called Amstar. I’m not sure of the cost, because it’s figured into the package, but you could go to their website or have your travel agent look it up when they are quoting your trip.

We haven’t had the chance to visit that resort yet, so I’m not familiar with what it has to offer. I haven’t heard anything negative about it. If you go there let us know your thoughts on it. I would be curious to know what you think. Safe travels!

My husband and I stayed at Sanctuary Cap Cana in December 2022 and it is awesome! The rooms are beautiful, the grounds are immaculate, the food and drinks are amazing and the service is outstanding. We also had a butler which was great. We really enjoyed our stay!

We agree and don’t understand that policy either. We have reached out to that resort and a few other with the same policy, trying to get clarification as to why they do this. Non of the resort have given a clear explanation as to why.

It’s for safety and insurance issue

I think Secrets has them beat when it comes to the food and beach. I liked both resorts and think either would be a great option, but for food and beach, I would go back to Secrets. I did a video on our time a Secrets here is the link. Secrets Cap Cana / Punta Cana / Dominican Republic kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ireGmbmLrrvNqo0.html

@@take2-travel thank you!

It really depends on your taste and vacation style. If you want to be sure there are some areas you can enjoy where kids won’t be around, then I would suggest the adults only area. But if it doesn’t bother you to have families and kids around in the pool and the room areas, then you’ll probably be just fine in the regular part of the resort.

What exactly would one miss out on if you book the family side? Can you still use the entire place? And all of its offerings?

@@thomasoleson2651 No, the Rum restaurant is only for the Margaritaville Island Reserve Cap Cana Hammock, a bar and one Pool.

Thanks for your feedback. It’s always nice to hear about others experiences. When we were there the beach was recently scraped and the sand was much softer. We didn’t get into the water or go to the water edge so it’s good to get that feedback.

Where is the beach…..very disappointed
