Picolo recommends · Hotel in Cap Cana, Dominican Republic
Eden Roc Cap Cana
Your own pool outside the door, a beach club down the path and no wristband in sight: Eden Roc is the quiet exception in Cap Cana.
Morning starts with a swim before anyone else is awake, because the pool belongs to your suite. Most of the suites and villas at Eden Roc come with one, and the low number of rooms means the paths and the beach rarely feel busy.
The beach club is where the hotel meets the sea, and the Cap Cana marina, with its restaurants and boats heading out to fish or snorkel, is a few minutes away. Meals are paid for as you go, which is unusual on this coast.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Eden Roc Cap Cana
We chose it for travellers who want privacy and attentive service rather than the all-inclusive rhythm that dominates the area. It feels more like a small villa estate than a resort.
Without an all-inclusive rate, the bill grows quickly, and this is one of the more expensive stays in the region. Families who want kids' clubs and entertainment will be better served at Hyatt Ziva.
