Secrets Sanctuary Resort in Cap Cana, Dominican Republic

The next resort we stayed at was Secrets Sanctuary Resort in Cap Cana, Dominican Republic.  This resort is located about 15 minutes south of Punta Cana Airport.  It is an adults only resort and all inclusive.

Infinity pool overlooking the ocean

Seating in the bar area where they had live music almost every night

We LOVED our stay at this resort.  There are about 175 rooms and suites at this resort, but it is really spread out so it feels quiet and private.  If you are facing the ocean, there is a private beach on the far right of the resort (pictured below!).  During our whole stay we never saw anyone on this beach!

The water was really clear and beautiful, and really warm.  There were barely any waves, so we really enjoyed swimming.  The main pool has a swim up bar (love those!), there is a casino, and many other activities available.

We spent our first night in a Ocean View Junior Suite which was very nice.  But when asked if we wanted to move to the 3,100 square foot Royalty Villa, we were ecstatic!  Take a peek inside...

Here is the outside

And here is the entrance when you first walk in!  An outside dining area, the all glass living room to the left, and the huge balcony and ocean straight ahead!

This was our balcony...

with steps that went right into the ocean!

This was our view to the left

See the glass on the left? That was our bathtub! 

Here is the view from the bathtub from the inside!

Unbelievable right???  They practically had to drag us out of there when it was time to leave!

At least once a week since then, Dave has asked when we can go back there.  Which I find hilarious because I had to majorly talk him into Dominican Republic because he had heard it wasn't very nice.  Happy to say that I quickly changed his mind on that!

Main pool

I highly recommend this resort to couples that want to relax, do some water activities and have great food and drinks.  We didn't leave the resort at all during our stay, but the concierge at the resort can set up all kind of activities or tours for you.  There are some very nice golf courses nearby as well.

Check back tomorrow for an amazing offer to this resort for one lucky couple!
