The hype

Dreams Cap Cana Resort & Spa - All Inclusive
$450-750/ noc
Zarezerwuj to, jeśli You want the exclusivity of Cap Cana and a shiny, newer resort but don't mind trading a swimmable beach for a killer pool scene.
Dlaczego ludzie to uwielbiają
- Located in the ultra-secure, gated Cap Cana community (15 mins from airport)
- Massive, villa-style rooms that feel more like apartments than hotel keys
- The 'Coral Keg' sports bar and brewery is a rare find for an all-inclusive
Szybki przegląd: A stunning property with a major beach problem—it's rocky, shallow, and often unswimmable, so you're booking this for the pools.
Przejrzane przez @drwanderlustt: I stayed in this Swim-Up Suite at Margaritaville Cap Cana and honestly, waking up and jumping straight into the pool was the highlight of my trip. The outdoor shower was such a cool touch, and having a fully stocked minibar made it feel like a true party in paradise.

Reality check
The 'Preferred Club' upgrade is divisive—some say the private lounge and restaurant access is essential, while others call it a $360 waste for similar rooms.
- You prefer pool days over ocean swimming
- You hate long shuttle rides (it's 15 mins from PUJ)
- You want a family resort that doesn't feel like a chaotic daycare
Czystość i Konserwacja
8.5
- Housekeeping: Consistent and thorough. Turn-down service is reliable, though they sometimes miss restocking the mini-bar fully.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. Rain showers are huge and grout is fresh (benefit of a recent reno).
- Maintenance: Excellent condition overall. The property was recently rebranded and renovated, so peeling paint is rare.
- Linens & towels: Plush and plentiful. No threadbare pool towels here.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like white tea and bamboo; rooms are fresh, though ground floor units can get a faint humidity smell after rain.

FAQ i ukryte porady
Wszystko, co naprawdę chcesz wiedzieć, zanim zarezerwujesz.
Is the beach swimmable?
Barely. It is very rocky and shallow with frequent seaweed. You are better off walking 10-15 minutes to Juanillo Beach for a proper swim.
Is the Preferred Club worth it?
Yes, if you drink top-shelf liquor and hate waiting for breakfast tables. The private lounge and dedicated restaurant (Oceana for breakfast/lunch) save sanity during peak times.
How far is the airport?
Extremely close—about 15 minutes by taxi. No long bus ride needed.
Is it adults-only?
No, it is family-friendly. However, the layout allows for some separation, and the 'Secrets' next door is adults-only if you want to escape kids entirely.
What is the food like?
Above average for an all-inclusive. The steakhouse and the Pan-Asian restaurant 'Oke' are standouts; the buffet is solid but repetitive.
Are there hidden fees?
Mostly no, but 'romantic dinners' on the beach cost $150+, and spa hydrotherapy access is ~$50 if you don't book a treatment.
Porady dla wtajemniczonych

The 'Coral Keg' brewery has the best burger on the property, not the buffet.

Walk left along the coast to find the public Juanillo Beach club—better food and swimmable water.
- ✨
Room service is included 24/7; order the 'beef and broccoli' from the secret menu if available.
5 rzeczy, które warto wiedzieć przed wyjazdem
💡The 'ocean view' in some rooms is actually a 'view of the pool with a sliver of blue in the distance'.
💡The resort shares a wall with Hyatt Zilara/Ziva; you can sometimes hear their night shows.
💡There is a 'secret' quiet pool in the Preferred Club section that is almost always empty.
💡The on-site shop prices are astronomical—bring your own sunscreen ($35+ per bottle).
💡The 'swim-out' pools are not heated; they can be surprisingly chilly in the morning.
