Now that the new year is under way we are so glad to be back to regularly scheduled programming and back to escaping reality LOL! Do you have a 5 minutes to wander back to Cap Cana with us? Because I have a hidden gem I want to share with you!
A few years ago I was touring resorts in Punta Cana, we had been on our feet in the hot Caribbean sun for 3 days looking at resort after resort. We were exhausted but we had to go a little further out to see the last resort in a newly developed area called Cap Cana. Honestly, I was expecting to see more of the same - boy was I wrong! We were transported to place I could have never imagined, Sanctuary Cap Cana.
What we found at Sanctuary blew our minds, this adult-only all-inclusive resort is designed after a Spanish Colonial Town, complete with it’s own Castle perched on a cliff. I mean, am I dreaming!
A small, boutique property with only 300 suites that include Ocean front private Villas, Suites in the Castle, suites in the Colonial section - something to meet every style and preference. Everywhere you turn on the grounds of Sanctuary you will find stunning architecture and beautiful artistic nuances in every nook and cranny.
I fell in love with this little slice of paradise and vowed to return. A year after my first visit I did come back and brought my husband to celebrate our anniversary. We stayed in one of the Castle Suites, which is Sanctuary’s upgraded concierge level rooms, you have private access to the rooftop pool on top of the castle, upgrade amenities, butler service and private lounge. We spent our time moving from one pool to the next then to the ocean and back to the pool - ya know it’s tough life on resort!
Shortly after our visit there, I received word that Sanctuary had been bought by another company so I immediately started digging to make sure nothing would happen to my hidden sanctuary - pun intended! I was so thrilled to learn that Hyatt had bought Sanctuary and hand plans to expand and to close the resort for a full make over! Fast forward to our visit in December, we were able to tour the newly renovated property and it is even more magical than before! The best part of our tour was running into our butler from our stay 2 years prior, he immediately remembered us and asked if he could accompany us for the last part of our tour - I mean talk about going the extra mile!
I don’t want to share too much with you because I want you to be amazed when you go but here are a few peeks of my favorite spots on property! Prepare to be amazed…
Sanctuary has a private beach for their guests to enjoy, but if you go past the castle there is access to the long stretch of Juanillo Beach, perfect those long walks! When you stay at Sanctuary you will have full access to 6 restaurants on resort and as added bonus inclusion you will also have access to the restaurants at Sanctuary Town with 9 additional unique venues that are open to the public.
Sanctuary is just that, a place to hide away, relax and be pampered. I hope you have enjoyed getting a sneak peek at this special property and of course if you would like more information and to get your next retreat booked please call us and we will take care of everything from start to finish!
