Around Sanctuary Cap Cana

The resort is set along a stretch of white sand beach, with a beachfront pool and an oceanfront lounge, the Ocean Club & Bar. Blue Marlin, a restaurant on stilts over the ocean, is one of its eleven restaurants. The Punta Espada Golf Club, described as one of the best courses in the Caribbean, is part of the setting.

A Short Taxi Ride Away

Punta Cana International Airport is about 14 km from the resort, and the hotel does not run a shuttle. Cap Cana itself is a gated community of 30,000 acres, so most of what is nearby sits inside it. Ask the front desk to arrange a taxi and agree on the return fare before you go.
