The gated east-coast estate
Cap Cana is the gated development at the eastern tip of the island: Marina Cap Cana, Juanillo beach, Punta Espada golf, the Hyatt Ziva and Zilara, Secrets, Sanctuary, TRS, Margaritaville, Eden Roc and the private villas and Fishing Lodge apartments behind them. Guests reach it from La Romana on the Coral highway through Higüey, which is the reason this run is over an hour even though it shares the same coast. The estate gate logs every vehicle, so we send the villa number or hotel name in advance; with it the car goes through without a call.
