The hotel is the first in the Dominican Republic to be awarded Two MICHELIN Keys and is the country’s only member of the Relais & Châteaux association.

Why this grade
Eden Roc Cap Cana is one of 280 one-star houses on Earth, among just 777 starred hotels; seat 15 of 280. The First Star doctrine holds that a single EMPTYJET star is an enormous honor — like a restaurant's first MICHELIN star, and Eden Roc Cap Cana’s recognitions make that case. The hotel holds Two MICHELIN Keys and was the first hotel in the Dominican Republic to receive this distinction, and it is the Dominican Republic’s only Relais & Châteaux member. Facilities and service — 68 accommodations including 60 suites and 5 villas, private Blue Flag beach exclusively for guests, butler service and an Eden Roc Spa by Natura Bissé — alongside Green Key certification and active sea turtle and reef programmes, support the star.
