ARIAL VIEW
Sexy Getaway at TRS Cap Cana Waterfront & Marina Hotel
By Paloma Villaverde de Rico
Tucked away in an exclusive enclave of Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, you’ll find the destination of Cap Cana, home to several luxury resorts, including the adults-only
TRS Cap Cana Waterfront & Marina Hotel
. Part of
Palladium Hotel Group
, this is the property you want to recommend to clients who truly want to get away from it all.
BEACH CABANA
This boutique 115-room TRS Hotel, surrounded by a lush tropical forest, is ideal for guests seeking a tranquil stay, those who are yearning to disconnect, kick back and take in all the stunning water views from every which way. Active clients will love that this area of the Dominican Republic is considered to be one of the top spots for fishing and deep-water diving, with the Cap Cana Marina hosting top-notch fishing tournaments. It’s about wellness all-around, whether your clients want to partake in some paddle yoga, a sunset spinning class or head out for a day on the water.
ACCOMMS
And before guests explore offsite, they’ll want to take in all the onsite delights. For starters, there are the spacious accommodations we tucked into for our 2-night getaway—the J
unior Suite Marina View
(all accommodations come with butler service). This elegant, contemporary 540-sq.-ft. suite is just perfect for a honeymooning couple with fab views of the aforementioned marina, a comfy bed, a pillow menu, an expansive double-sink bathroom, modern decor that pays homage to the surroundings and a terrace made for watching all the yachts sail by. In all, there are seven room categories, including the 1,080-sq.-ft.
Ambassador Suite Poolside Ocean View
with views of the marina and the sea from a terrace equipped with a private jacuzzi, two sunbeds, a hammock and a lounge area.
EL GAUCHO REST
Given the size of the resort, the number of dining options is impressive (four). We had the opportunity to dine at the toes-in-the-sand
Helios Beach Club
, where the Med-inspired food was beyond scrumptious, although the views stole the show as it’s located at a far end of the property alongside the stunning waterfront. Another top recommendation is
El Gaucho
, especially for—you guessed it—meat lovers. Here, diners can savor Argentine bites such as
empanadas
. Non-beef eaters will be blown away by the many options they, too, have on the menu. We also skipped into the
Piacere
coffee shop for sweet morsels and that must-have early morning coffee and we swooned over the delicious scent coming from the poolside
Grill
area, serving made-to-order snacks fresh off the BBQ.
LOBBY AREA
Your clients will want to while away an afternoon at the
Zentropia Palladium Spa & Wellness
center and its hydrotherapy circuit, dip into one of the sparkling pools (recommend renting a Balinese bed with personal butler service) and spend some time beachside along the small stretch of shoreline. Other premium experiences include a romantic dinner on the marina, a floating breakfast, exclusive wines and rose petal room decoration accompanied with champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries.
