First, the condo is huge and stunningly beautiful inside and out with wonderful views of the pools, ocean, and beach from the huge private balcony. Beautiful high quality comfortable modern furniture throughout. Wish I owned it. Hated to leave.
Manager Kelly extremely responsive and helpful.
TVs work well with provided cable satellite and allow you to open your personal streaming apps. Great free wifi capable of reaching the pool area if you sit close enough.
2 huge symmetrical pools are beautiful and well designed. Deepest maybe 4.5 feet. Ledges in the water to sit on and large areas only inches deep to lie. Not heated and a little chilly on first dip but swimmable.
Best part is that there are very few people there. Only about 10 nice lounge chairs with cushions at each pool, widely separated and it is more than enough. Large shade structures also widely separated on beach as well. Holiday supposedly "busy" but the available chairs didn't fill up until afternoon and the place is never crowed. Never ran into another person inside the building including the elevator.
Cap Cana is huge and beautiful, landscaped sort of like Disney World but without all the people. Single gate to access the entire community. Card key to enter your building. Keypad to enter the condo. Video cameras and visible security. Very safe and secure.
Cap Cana short drive from airport and village of Punta Cana.
Modern very nice grocery store about 9 miles away adjacent to Blue Mall on the way from airport.
We ate most of our meals in Cap Cana, generally good but not great. Best food in Cap Cana was paella at Aura in the Fishing Lodge area. Lots of choices there without reservations. A few restaurants were beautiful looking but completely empty of diners. There's a large open courtyard area near marina with several nice restaurants and plenty of energy.
Ate at several resorts on the water, beautiful before sunset, but once the sun went down not so much with marginal food quality.
Oddly maybe the best restaurant was a place attached to the Blue Mall....SBG. Beautiful inside and out, very busy and very tasty. We got lucky to snag a table without reservation and will return next time.
Punta Cana village has an area clustered with restaurants and bars which we will have to explore next time. Looks great
Beaches are mostly hard coral and coral rubble with patchy areas of beautiful sand.
Can't wait to return.
