Could be better, Huge potential

This resort is a rebranded version of the older Ancora Resort, and the signs of age are visible as you walk through the property. Overall, it was a mixed experience, and we don’t plan to return. Highlights: Excellent Room Service: Our room was always impeccably clean, and drinks were replenished daily — great job by housekeeping. Staff Shout-Out: A big thank you to Zsolt, Lewis and Julian for going above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Excursions: The private boat trip and Scape Park excursion were amazing. (Skip the Fun Park — it doesn’t compare to Scape Park.) Spa: The deep tissue massage was solid, though the hot stone massage wasn’t quite to my wife’s liking. Lowlights: Food Quality & Value: The food was mediocre, and dining options rotated among three on-site restaurants. The stay requires an all-inclusive package, which cost around $500 per day for our family of four (2 kids) — a poor value considering we barely used it. We preferred dining out at nearby spots like Drago Grill, Noah, and Sanctuary, but those aren’t covered in the all-inclusive. Dated Villas: We stayed in a two-bedroom villa that showed serious wear — cracked walls, water damage on the ceilings, and poorly draining showers. The entire space needs a major refresh. Towel Policy: Getting beach towels turned into a bit of a saga. You’re given one towel card per person and must trade it in, then return the towel to the lobby afterward. Not a huge issue, just an odd and mildly amusing system to be aware of. Final Thoughts: We’d rate the experience 3 stars. It was a pleasure meeting some wonderful staff members, but the resort still has a long way to go to live up to its potential. With better management and some much-needed updates, it could truly shine. ”

Unique spot away from the Punta Cana Bustle

We enjoyed our stay at Cap Cana. Very spacious, well appointed rooms. Excellent service and food---especially for an all inclusive. Very friendly staff and fun entertainment. Beautiful property- but this place is quiet and for more mature couples.”

Beautiful Resort

First time in the Dominican Republic and Sports Illustrated did not dissappoint! The Land/Sea tour that was offered was a special treat! Zsolt, the marketing director was great along with all of the staff. Everyone was very welcoming, helpful and pleasant throughout our stay. The resort is beautiful and we loved the restaurants and shops situated around the marina. Food was excellent! The shuttle to the beach runs every hour and it's just a short 10 minute drive to get to Juanillo Beach. We would love to go back!”

Great week!

The Sports Illustrated Resort was great. The Villa was just right for two couples. the patio was large and overlooked the pool. The food was good and the staff was wonderful. Third Home members get some additional perks that are nice. ”

Sports Illustrated Cap Cana

We had a wonderful time at the SI Resort. The staff is extremely friendly and the setting is beautiful. The only suggestion I have is that they need to upgrade their technology. WiFi was non-existent outside the main lobby area and our television never worked due to connectivity problems. That said, we would happily go back. ”

Our family (2 adults and 3 kids 10/12/14) had an amazing time in sports illustrated. From our point of arrival, Cecil met us at the reception and dedicated one of his staff to look after us personally. The apartment was amazing. Very spacious and spotlessly clean with high-end furniture and a super balconies in all areas with excellent sea views. The resort itself is 2nd to none with a varied food menu every day, including seafood and quality meats. There’s entertainment every evening and lots of entertainment at the pools. The staff were very friendly and very professional. Regarding activities Cecil suggested options and arranged our entire stay with activities every day from scuba diving, Kite Surfing, skate park, beach resort and commentary buggy and speed boat excursion to mention some. The spa was a real treat: staff guide you through an unforgettable experience starting with sauna, 4 rain showers, ice cold plunge pool, steam room, ice cold plunge pool again, jacuzzi, heated chill loungers followed by a 50 min massage. An unforgettable experience!! We had an absolutely amazing time here, and will definitely be back and would have no issue recommending 100%. 5 stars + … Thank you for making our holiday! ”

Great resort we highly recommend!

Great resort for couples, families and groups in an excellent location conveniently located a short distance from the airport, no traffic, spacious and comfortable rooms and wonderful staff. Upon arrival, we were very warmly welcomed by the friendly reception of Zsolt Gal, marketing director, who made our trip even more exciting with a complete tour of Cap Cana and a fun day with the family at Scape Park. The resort embodies tremendous opportunities for growth, pleasant hospitality, delightful shops and exquisite restaurant choices. We truly enjoyed our stay and made many new friends! Thank you again Zsolt for going many extra miles for your guests! We highly recommend Sports Illustrated Cap Cana Marina and Villas to everyone and we look forward to visiting the resort again to see all the planned changes completed.”
