The next resort we stayed at was Secrets Sanctuary Resort in Cap Cana, Dominican Republic. This resort is located about 15 minutes south of Punta Cana Airport. It is an adults only resort and all inclusive.
Infinity pool overlooking the ocean
The Casino
Seating in the bar area where they had live music almost every night. We LOVED our stay at this resort. There are about 175 rooms and suites at this resort, but it is really spread out so it feels quiet and private. If you are facing the ocean, there is a private beach on the far right of the resort (pictured below!). During our whole stay we never saw anyone on this beach!
The water was really clear and beautiful, and really warm. There were barely any waves, so we really enjoyed swimming. The main pool has a swim up bar (love those!), there is a casino, and many other activities available.
We spent our first night in a Ocean View Junior Suite which was very nice. But when asked if we wanted to move to the 3,100 square foot Royalty Villa, we were ecstatic! Take a peek inside…
Here is the outside
And here is the entrance when you first walk in! An outside dining area, the all glass living room to the left, and the huge balcony and ocean straight ahead!
This was our balcony…
with steps that went right into the ocean!
This was our view to the left
This was our view to the right
See the glass on the left? That was our bathtub!
Here is the view from the bathtub from the inside! Unbelievable right??? They practically had to drag us out of there when it was time to leave!
At least once a week since then, Dave has asked when we can go back there. Which I find hilarious because I had to majorly talk him into Dominican Republic because he had heard it wasn’t very nice. Happy to say that I quickly changed his mind on that!
Main pool
I highly recommend this resort to couples that want to relax, do some water activities and have great food and drinks. We didn’t leave the resort at all during our stay, but the concierge at the resort can set up all kind of activities or tours for you. There are some very nice golf courses nearby as well.
Check back tomorrow for an amazing offer to this resort for one lucky couple!

I recently visited Dominican Republic with my boyfriend and we stayed at Zoetry Agua in Punta Cana and Secrets Sanctuary in Cap Cana. We had a wonderful stay at both resorts! I am going to be sharing our trip all week, starting with our stay at Zoetry Agua Resort.
Zoetry Agua is a really unique, special resort. It is located about an hour north of the airport in Punta Cana. It is a really peaceful drive to the resort, and the resort’s drivers love to share information about their wonderful country.
The resort has just 51 suites, and is located right on the beach. It feels really private and luxurious, and the service is amazing. Everyone learns your name right away, and everyone really goes out of their way to make sure you are having a nice stay.
The resort is all inclusive, but goes far beyond what most resorts offer their guests. The rate includes gourmet food, premium brand drinks, complimentary room service, a 20 minute spa treatment per guest, horseback riding on the beach, complimentary laundry service, and complimentary worldwide calling.
We LOVED the food at the resort! It is organic, healthy, and most of all, delicious! There is a lot of seafood, fresh fruits, and local Dominican food. The deserts and cocktails were incredible as well. Our favorite restaurant was Indigo which was located right on the beach.
We stayed in a Suite Caribe which was amazingly luxurious. There was a living room, gorgeous bedroom, a partially outdoor shower, and the best part- a private garden courtyard with our own pool! There are also rooms with direct access to the hotel’s main pool, and suites directly on the beach.
During our stay we relaxed at the pool and beach, went on a few long walks along the beach, went horseback riding on the beach, took a dune buggy tour (we got so muddy!), and enjoyed lots of amazing food and drinks!
We had a truly amazing stay at Zoetry Agua! All of that being said, the resort is really quiet. If you are looking for a lot of activities or nightlife, this resort isn’t the best fit. If you want to relax in quiet luxury, then I highly recommend this resort.
Zoetry Agua provides special, complimentary amenities for honeymoon couples. And all of my clients receive complimentary room upgrades based on availability when you arrive. For more information about this resort contact Ever After Honeymoons!
Kathryn and James went on an incredibly romantic honeymoon in the gorgeous Caribbean. Oh yeah, did I mention they sailed through it? I had quite the challenge- they had already contacted two other travel agents, friends of theirs no less, who couldn’t find them their perfect honeymoon within their budget. But I was up for the challenge, and made all of their honeymoon dreams come true! The couple, both Pennsylvania natives, are beach lovers and knew that after the wedding relaxation was key.
We were advised that after the craziness of the wedding, we would want to spend the first few days just decompressing and relaxing, Kathryn said.Their dreamy honeymoon started at the Peter Island Resort, (this place is unbelievable!) a private island resort, followed by days of sailing with only a chef and a captain, oh, and each other. Not only was the idea of it all so unique, it also was special to the couple: Not only does James love sailboats, but he proposed to Kathryn on St. Thomas on a sail boat.
The sailing trip allowed them to see so much more than they could have if they just stayed in one place.
The couple sailed to Norman Island, Jost Van Dyke, Cooper Island, baths at Virgin Gorda. They even snorkeled in caves and over shipwrecks!
They loved the fact that they were able to dress down at their all-inclusive resort, but still dressed up for dinner daily. And we loved the fact that they wanted to share their story!
Their wonderful honeymoon was also featured in issue five of Utterly Engaged! Private chartered sailboats can be taken to many destinations around the world, and probably aren’t as expensive as you might think. Contact me if you are interested in taking a private chartered sailboat for your honeymoon!
