In November 2016, my wife and I took our honeymoon to Sanctuary Cap Cana, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. This was our first time to the DR and were excited to relax and enjoy. We had the help booking through a travel agent booking the whole thing which I recommend if it is your first time. Our travel agent had coordinated transportation from the airport to our report and back.
We arrive after a short drive from the Airport and we come to the main entrance. The staff asks my name and they said we were staying at the castle. We hop into a golf cart and we are taken to the castle where we check in.

This is the view approaching the castle.

We check in and get our honeymoon suite and meet our butler. Yes, we had a butler for our entire stay! He was amazing! Whatever you needed, he was able to get for you. If you wanted something arranged, he could assist. Our room was amazing, a split level room where you enter on the first floor where there is a half bathroom, dinning table and living room. There was a coffee and beverage station where we had water, beer and sodas available. A walk up the stairs led you to the bedroom loft overlooking the living room and out though the tall floor to ceiling windows to the Ocean. We had a walk through closet that led into the master bathroom. Back on the first floor we had our own private patio area with a private plunge pool with a view.

We were at the resort the entire time and decided not to go explore and do any excursions. The weather was beautiful the day we arrived however, it poured rain that evening into the morning. It was either overcast or rained the next few days with our last day being amazing. We still hung out at the pool and drank many beverages at the pool bar. There were several amazing restaurants on the resort our favorite was the steakhouse. During the day there was food out by the beach and pool. The food was amazing with a variety to choose from.

Since the weather was not the best, we went to the spa and had a couples massage. The spa was nice with a hot tub and sauna with a fruit/snack coffee and tea bar.

On our last day we soaked up the sun and enjoyed what we missed out on during the overcast days. We met some wonderful people on our trip who were also on their honeymoon and will keep in touch with them.

We had a wonderful 5 days at the resort and wish we had stayed an extra day or two. Next time we will make sure we will. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The worst part about the trip was having to leave after being pampered all week. Did I mention the resort is exclusively and adult only resort.

I know there are many resorts in Punta Cana, this one is definitely worth a try. If you have any questions, leave a comment and I will answer them the best I can.
