Why travelers love it
“Modern Cap Cana all-inclusive with warm service and swim-out suites”
Guests consistently rave about the staff here, with butlers and bartenders remembered by name long after checkout. The property feels fresh and upscale, and Preferred Club perks like a beachside pool, cabanas, and a dedicated restaurant are worth the upgrade for many travelers.
Food & drink
StrongMultiple à la carte venues punch above the buffet, with the Asian restaurant and steakhouse as standouts. The main buffet is solid but light on variety after a few days.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Asian restaurant and steakhouse are top picks
- Barefoot Grill draws repeat visits
- Preferred Club restaurant adds an upscale option
Heads up
- Buffet variety wears thin over a week
Dining overview
Multiple à la carte restaurants are on-site, with guests particularly recommending the Asian venue and the steakhouse. The main buffet gets mixed feedback, with some noting limited variety compared to the specialty restaurants.
Beach
MixedThere is a beachside pool area and Preferred Club cabanas on the sand, but the beach itself gets little airtime in guest feedback. Expect a functional Cap Cana shoreline rather than a headline attraction.
low confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Beachside pool with swim-up bar
- Free cabanas for Preferred Club
The resort sits along the Cap Cana coastline, an area generally known for calm, clear water and softer sand than central Bavaro. Preferred Club guests get access to a dedicated beachside pool area with complimentary cabanas.
Pools
StrongMultiple pools including a swim-up bar area near the beach, backed by pool servers who actually check in on you. One of the resort's stronger features.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Several pools across the property
- Swim-up bar near the beach
- Attentive pool servers
- Swim-out suites for private access
Several pools spread across the property, including a swim-up bar pool near the beach and a separate Preferred Club pool with cabanas. Select rooms open directly onto swim-out pools from private terraces.
