Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa

The Resort & Its Setting

Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa sits within Cap Cana, a purpose-built resort district known for its marina, golf courses and private beach clubs rather than a bustling town centre. As an independent property affiliated with RCI, it runs its own ownership structure while still giving owners a route into the wider RCI exchange network. The resort is positioned as an upscale property, in keeping with Cap Cana's reputation as one of the more exclusive corners of the Dominican coast.

Cap Cana: The Area and Things to Do

Cap Cana was developed as a self-contained luxury enclave, and most of what owners and renters come for is within a short drive of the resort. Cap Cana Marina, about half a kilometre away, is the social hub of the district — yacht moorings, waterfront restaurants and a lively evening scene. Punta Espada Golf Club, roughly 3km out, is the area's signature course, built along dramatic Caribbean cliffs. The beaches directly in front of Cap Cana, around a kilometre from the resort, offer the calm, clear water typical of this coastline, and Punta Cana International Airport is approximately 25km away, keeping transfer times reasonable for a Caribbean resort. Travellers after a change of scene can also head to Bavaro Beach, about 15km north, one of the longer stretches of white sand in the wider Punta Cana area.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own at Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa and want to move it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to post the ad, and BidMyTimeshare.com takes 0% commission on the sale — whatever you agree with the buyer is yours to keep.

Because this is a resale at an RCI-affiliated independent resort, the actual transfer of ownership is handled outside our marketplace, through the resort's owners' association or management company rather than through BidMyTimeshare.com. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both parties should confirm directly with the resort: the transfer or closing fee charged to move the deed or membership into the buyer's name, whether the resort or HOA holds a right of first refusal on resales, how long the transfer process typically takes, and the current annual maintenance fee. A resale buyer should also get written confirmation of whether any RCI exchange enrolment, accrued points, or loyalty benefits tied to the seller's account carry over, since these are often tied to the original owner and may need to be re-established separately with RCI.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for confirmed week dates, clarity on what's included (unit size, resort fees, any resort credits), and straightforward contact with the owner — all things you can lay out clearly in your listing description.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

RCI-affiliated ownership means that, subject to availability and the resort's own rules, owners can deposit their week into the RCI exchange system for a stay elsewhere, which is worth mentioning in a listing if it's a selling point for you. Anyone relying on this should check their RCI points or week balance and exchange availability directly with RCI before committing to a purchase or a swap. Because Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa is independent rather than part of a large hotel brand's timeshare division, fee structures, resale rules and transfer processes are set by the resort itself — always get these confirmed in writing before any money changes hands.
