Punta Cana · Gated, quiet, luxury, calm Juanillo beach

Cap Cana: all-inclusive resorts we stayed in

Cap Cana is the gated south end, 10 to 15 minutes from the airport, quiet, and the calmest water on this coast at Juanillo beach. Six of the resorts we sell are here and we have slept in two: Hyatt Zilara at 9.4, the highest score in our database, and Dreams Cap Cana at 8.6. Prices here start higher than in any other zone.

Seaweed, coast-wide
South-facing

Seaweed is the coast's, not a resort's: the south-facing side of the peninsula and the season decide it, and it moves with the wind. Our own stays here: the record says it comes and goes at Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana, Dreams Cap Cana Resort & Spa.

Where else on this coast?

Seven zones, one airport. The drive time is the first thing that changes your week.
