Great property, wonderful staff ready to fulfill any requirements you might have. Restaurants,poolls and beach close proximity to the buildings . Lovely entertainment every evening ( live music at the Love Bar or shows at the DJ Pm bar). We loved it so much . We are already planning the next trip back at the same resort Sanctuary Cana. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

This place is truly a Sanctuary. The property is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The staff was amazing. JT went above and beyond to make sure our stay was the best. José made sure our pool experience was amazing. The food and drinks were excellent. Miguel is an amazing bartender and our drinks were always top notch! It honestly was the most relaxing Honeymoon/vacation we have ever had. There was a lot of seaweed on the beach and ocean water was dirty, but that is not the resorts fault. The weather was amazing in the 80's, but our room pool water was a little colder than I would have preferred. We were not able to stay in it after sunset. Overall, we had an excellent experience and will definitely be returning in the future.

Such a beautiful place and the staff are next level. Ricardo took the best care of us from setting up reservations to carting us to the pool! It was a totally unexpected convenience and really made the trip that much more enjoyable. Randy was our favorite waiter. We fell in love with this place and the people. Highly recommend to couples looking to relax and reconnect.

We had such a wonderful stay. Everything was so clean and pristine. The staff was the best part of the trip- from our butler Jesús, to the staff at each restaurant, to the entertainment team (we loved Caroline!) They went out of their way to ensure us having the best time possible. We would love to come back!
