Set along a stretch of pure white-sand beach in Cap Cana, an exclusive enclave of the DR´s most popular resort area Punta Cana - and just 15 minutes from the Punta Cana International Airport -  five-star all-inclusive property Margaritaville Island Reserve Cap Cana., which opened a little over three years ago is one of just eight Cap Cana resorts. On our visit, my husband and I found its “no worries,” tropical vibe spoke to me the moment we pulled up to the hotel entrance adorned with a fun and whimsical giant flip flop. Welcomed by several enthusiastic “Island Ambassadors” with an animated “FINS UP!” reception, our vacation had officially begun as we were offered margarita popsicles, the resort´s traditional welcome treat for guests.

With 228 suites / including swim-up suites and 40 villas with private plunge pools / a wide range of food and beverage venues, a spectacular spa and more, this Margaritaville is a sun-seeker’s dream come true, offering a playful escape with a laid-back tropical vibe.

Opened in November 2021 in partnership with Karisma Hotels & Resorts, Margaritaville’s signature easy-going vibe to relax and unwind in paradise is inspired by the lyrics and lifestyle of the late singer, songwriter and bestselling author Jimmy Buffett. Fans of the musician can keep their eyes out for song lyrics all over the place.
