VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Set within The St. Regis Cap Cana, Nina is a sultry jewel box of a restaurant that feels like a secret worth keeping. The atmospheric, art-forward design — think rich teal walls, bold local artwork and warm lighting — creates a sense of intimacy that’s both refined and effortlessly cool. As you settle into a velvet banquette and sip on a signature rum cocktail, you get the sense that dinner here is more than a meal; it’s a slow-burning celebration of Latin American culinary artistry.
Developed in partnership with renowned Peruvian chef Diego Muñoz, Nina blends Dominican ingredients and Andes tradition with global finesse. Expect flavorful dishes like coconut-laced red snapper stew and tamarind-glazed pork belly, artfully plated and deeply satisfying. The wine list leans heavily on bold reds and tropical-accented whites, each pairing thoughtfully chosen. While the menu rotates with the seasons, the energy is consistent: vibrant, warm and mysterious enough to keep you coming back for more.
