200-Room St. Regis Cap Cana Now Open In Dominican Republic

The St. Regis brand has been nicely expanding in the Caribbean in recent times. In January 2025, we saw the opening of the St. Regis Aruba, and now we’ve seen the opening of the brand’s first property in the Dominican Republic. Let’s cover the details.

Basics of the new St. Regis Cap Cana, Dominican Republic

The St. Regis Cap Cana has opened as of late April 2025. It’s located on the east coast of the Dominican Republic, near Punta Cana.

The property has 200 keys, including 174 guest rooms and 26 suites. In terms of amenities, the resort features four pools, beach access, a spa with 13 treatment rooms, a fitness center, a club for kids, St. Regis butler service, and more. Also near the property will be the 18-hole waterfront Punta Espada golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus.

The resort has a staggering nine food and beverage outlets, including Nina (in collaboration with chef Diego Muñoz, open for dinner), Cassava (a Latin American restaurant, open all day), The Amber Room (a rum and cigar bar), Carey Bay Seaside Bar (a casual outdoor restaurant open for lunch and dinner), Kawa Coffee Shop (a coffee and chocolate shop), and more.

Entry level rooms at the St. Regis Cap Cana start at 560 square feet (50 square meters). Standard suites start at 1,130 square feet (102 square meters), and some accommodations even offer direct pool access.

The property has been designed by Chapi Chapo Design, the same firm behind the St. Regis Kanai (in Mexico) and Amanyara (in Turks & Caicos).

I’m curious, I can’t say that a trip to the Dominican Republic has ever been on my radar. To those who have been, how do you compare it to other Caribbean islands?

St. Regis Cap Cana rates & points requirements

With the St. Regis Cap Cana now open, what are rates like? Not surprisingly, it’s an expensive property, given proximity to the United States.

Pricing varies a bit by season. Currently I see entry level rooms starting at $600 to $1,100 per night, give or take. However, that’s before the 28% in taxes and service charges, which really increase rates considerably.

If you are going to book a cash stay, I’d highly recommend doing so through the Marriott STARS program. This will score you perks like complimentary breakfast, a $100 food & beverage credit, a room upgrade subject to availability, and more.

For those looking to redeem Marriott Bonvoy points, I see rates starting at 102,000 Bonvoy points per night. Keep in mind that you can receive a fifth night free on award redemptions, which will stretch your points even further. This has the potential to be a good redemption option, given that when you’re redeeming points, you don’t have to pay the 28% in taxes and service charges.

Bottom line

The St. Regis Cap Cana, Dominican Republic, has opened as of April 2025. It’s always nice to have more Caribbean points properties, and I imagine this will be popular with Bonvoy members. The Dominican Republic is largely known for all-inclusive resorts, so it’s interesting to see Marriott bring one of its most luxurious brands there. The property looks pretty nice, but then again, renderings can be deceiving.
