Video Tour by @awakenwanderlust: I spent a week at the Hammock side of Margaritaville Cap Cana and it’s honestly the most aesthetic all-inclusive I’ve seen. The spa day was my highlight, and the evening walks were pure magic. Totally worth the splurge for a reset.
Why People Love It
- The 'Joe Merchant's' point system lets you customize your own in-room minibar with liquor and snacks
- JWB Steakhouse is actually included (rare for all-inclusives) and serves quality cuts
- Juanillo Beach is far calmer and often clearer than the crowded Bavaro strip
About this video
My experience at Margaritaville Island Reserve Cap Cana Hammock was the definition of accessible luxury. From the moment I walked into that massive open-air lobby, I felt the stress melt away. The resort is located in the exclusive Cap Cana gated community, so it feels super safe and polished. I spent a lot of time just wandering the grounds—the landscaping is immaculate and the open-air hallways keep you cool with that ocean breeze. The highlight for me was definitely the St. Somewhere Spa. I booked a treatment and spent time in their indoor hydrotherapy pool; sipping tea there was the most relaxed I've felt in years. The resort sits right on Juanillo Beach, which has that perfect turquoise water, though it can get a bit breezy. At night, the vibe shifts completely. It's not a loud party scene; it's more about chill cocktails on the terrace with beautiful lighting. If you are an aesthetic seeker looking for a place that looks as good in person as it does on Instagram, this is the spot.
