Reviews Summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
Sports Illustrated Resorts Marina & Villas Cap Cana is commended for its vivacious atmosphere and engaging entertainment, alongside a staff that many guests describe as warm and dedicated. Despite this, the hotel faces criticism for its limited dining options and inconsistent amenities, with some reviewers suggesting a need for enhancement. While the rooms are noted by some as spacious and comfortable, others report maintenance and cleanliness issues. The all-inclusive package is often deemed poor value due to costly extras and unforeseen charges, and service quality appears to vary, with reports of unresponsive management.

Hotel's Favorite
Jose started our trip with a welcoming smile and ride to our room, along with a ride anytime we needed! Sopita is the best pool boy and a great dancer! Lots of good energy by the pool from Mario Wow Wow, Duracell, Candy, and Sopita with things to do each day. Restaurants and service from Katherine, Miguel, Tony, Sandy, and Obispo are hard to beat. Such friendly staff members and they'll remember you the whole time you're visiting. The food doesn't all taste the same like some resorts and they offer a good variety at each meal. Alfredo, Felix, Maria, and Damaris are awesome bartenders with a great knowledge of drinks made to perfection every time! Rooms are very nice and the Marina view is a perfect way to relax at the end of the day and watch the sunset. Will definitely come back to visit all of the friends we made here (I'm sure I missed a few who were spectacular)! 😊

We were at SI Cap Cana. We spent a lot of time at the pool and the Dug out bar restaurant. The following people made our trip awesome and memorable. Sopita was awesome and thought how to dance and he always had a smile on his face. Look forward to seeing him again! Duracell was awesome too and played volleyball in the pool with us. Candy was awesome too. Sandy took care of us at the restaurants and our wine. Corral And Felix at the pool were awesome at the bar. Mario Wowow and Germaine at the Italian restaurant were awesome and very friendly. Bombom was awesome and helped us regularly. Maris the cook at the pool bar made great food and served us with smile.

Loved my trip here with my family. The food and activities were always fun. The staff made the experience once in a life time. Sopita and Bonbon taught me so many dances and I had fun dancing with Sopita one on one. Duracell and Candy made the swimming pool activities and the Dugout lobby 8ball pool so much fun. I loved the food. The servers and bartenders Sandy, Gemmelyn, Felix, Maria, Coral, Alfredo, and even more had amazing service and gave us a 5 star experience. My time here was so enjoyable and I will for sure come back in the future. Loved this resort and everything with it.

Where to begin. Yes, the rooms are spacious and have a full kitchen. The staff especiall, Luisa, is top notch. They are super nice and friendly. All that being said, this place is a dump! 1 or 2 step under Motel 6. There is one restaurant and a pool side pop-up food area. As explained to us, the menue changes daily. The food was mediocre at best. We were told upon booking this place we had several restaurants and bars included in our all-inclusive package, which we quickly found out was not at all true. There were a couple of eateries in the courtyard, but were not officiated with the resort. So, to eat at those other restaurants there would be an additional fee. I believe we saw two functioning bars. There are two pools one is the quiet or serenity pool, then there is the main pool. They were both pretty blah. The pools closed at 6 p.m. everyday. There is no beach near. You take a shuttle between 10 a.m and 5 p.m daily to the beach. On the day of our arrival we arrived early. Check in is at 3 p.m, we were not able to get in until closer to 5. Fine, these things happen, however we were for whatever reason not able to get wash cloths. We had one, but needed more. We called the front desk several times and Noone ever arrived. This resort (I use the term resort loosely) is completely surrounded by demolished buildings and is directly in the middle of a construction zone. The shops which are inside the courtyard area are closed and under construction. There were three, possibly four shops open for business. The gym has a fingerprint entry which did not work on the day we arrived nor the next morning when we tried to utilize the gym. The front desk person wouldn't grant access, saying he did not have the key to let us in. I could go on, but I'm going to end this and put this disastrous place behind me. People, I read the other reviews prior to booking, and I am seriously appalled at these glowing reviews. I understand people have different experiences and taste, but please hear me, and hear me clearly...run don't walk away from this place! I promise you will thank me later. Oddly enogh the gym was the last straw. I litterally checked out of this place the very next morning and booked a totally different resort. I'm truly not a picky person, and am always one to make the best of most situations. This place needed to be put on blast for how aweful it truly is. People please, please, please find anywhere else to spend your hard earned money!! This place is not it!

Also in our activity pool (where the snacks are) we have our entertainment team doing activities with our guests all day long, with each activity listed in our DAILY planner found every morning in our Front Desk, plus our evening activities, including a new show every night and our house Dj.

This was our first time in Dominican Republic and Sports Illustrated did not disappoint. The entertainment was very good and engaging. Special big up to Sopita, Mario and Candy who kept us all entertained. The drinks and bar was good. Only negative was the variety of food available. Tony our server took very good care of us when dining and was always very pleasant as well as Abispo.
