A Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course with breathtaking ocean views is a 15-minute drive from the resort, and it's about the same distance to Punta Cana Village, which has open-air shopping and dining. A marina with a nightclub and multiple restaurants serving seafood, Italian, and Spanish cuisines is a five-minute drive away, serving as the closest development of any sort. Secrets is located along Cap Cana's Juanillo Beach, but keep in mind that there’s nothing within walking distance and it's an expensive taxi ride to get anywhere. Expect to see mostly couples of all ages here. Keep in mind that like most AMResorts, Secrets Cap Cana has a pricey Preferred Club option with members-only amenities like a private pool, private beach area, and exclusive dining. Even so, for a package chain resort, the style here is pleasantly up to date and attractive, particularly for couples who are in search of romance and don't want to be bothered with keeping track of details. We were a bit confused (and unsettled) by the strange sepia-toned videos on all of the TVs (including in guest rooms) of kids, animals, and elephants slow-motion, frolicking to a soundtrack of downbeat meditation music. Those impressions aside, the resort has a tranquil vibe overall - but it might be trying a bit too hard to impose tranquility. The lobby is a hopping spot, and guests often hang about in its plush armchairs and couches - especially near the Starbucks-style coffee shop and lobby bar.

At first glance, things can seem a little livelier than one might expect of a self-proclaimed romantic getaway.

That layout does a lot to cultivate the resort's away-from-it-all and exclusive vibe - particularly helpful given this property's adult-only, all-inclusive policy.
SECRETS CAP CANA PREFERRED CLUB WORTH IT FULL
Secrets Cap Cana opened in November 2016 and the oceanfront property’s manicured grounds are full of colorful tropical landscaping, small grassy fields, and palm trees that stretch in seemingly every direction.
