Sunscape Coco Punta Cana — Beautiful resort, but VERY loud! Sunscape Coco Punta Cana is a very pretty resort with a beautiful beach, lovely pools and wonderful staff. But there is one thing I think people absolutely need to know before booking: this is a party resort, and it is LOUD. In fact, it is the loudest resort I have ever stayed at. If you’re looking for a lively, energetic, party atmosphere, this may be exactly what you’re looking for. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, I would seriously reconsider. Of the six nights we were there, we called Security twice very late at night because people had music absolutely blaring. One of those nights also involved people arguing, crying and fighting. We eventually started wearing earplugs to bed and still regularly woke up because of the noise. It wasn’t just an occasional disturbance—it was a pretty consistent part of the experience. The room: We had a swim-out room, which was fabulous. The room itself was perfectly sufficient, and the swim-out pool was lovely and, thankfully, much quieter than the rest of the resort. The beach: Absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately, the seaweed was extremely prominent during our stay. The water was basically a murky tea colour, it smelled, and we couldn’t bring ourselves to go swimming in it. This is apparently a seasonal issue, so it’s not something the resort can really control. We enjoyed sitting by the beach and taking in the view, but did all of our swimming in the pools. The beach vendors are fairly aggressive. You just have to be assertive.  The pools: Clean and enjoyable. Our swim-out pool was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. The food: I’ll give them an A for effort. They clearly work hard to make the food look appealing and offer plenty of variety. But honestly, the food was just okay—maybe one step above what I’ve experienced at some Cuban resorts, but not much. There were things we enjoyed, but overall, food was not a highlight of the trip. Definitely go to the restaurants in the evening if you can.  The staff: This is where the resort really shines. The staff worked incredibly hard and were genuinely wonderful. Many employees didn’t speak much English, so I found myself wishing I had brushed up on my very rusty Spanish! We tipped very generously throughout our stay because we really appreciated the effort everyone put in: $5 at dinner, $1 at breakfast and lunch, $1 to the gentleman who made my egg-white omelettes, $1 whenever we got drinks, $5 for expedition bus drivers, $20 for the boat captains & crew, $5 a day for our room cleaner, and even $1 whenever I exchanged money at the front desk. $1 for anyone who helped me with my suitcase. Everyone seemed to appreciate it, and we were treated wonderfully. Excursions: We did an expedition that was an all-day adventure to Saona Island and a lot of fun. It involved quite a bit of travelling to get there, but we really enjoyed it. We also went paragliding, which was both fun and scary as hell! Definitely an experience I won’t forget. Overall, I’m glad we experienced Sunscape Coco Punta Cana. It’s a beautiful resort, the swim-out room was fantastic, the staff were wonderful, and we had some really fun experiences. Would I return? Probably not—and the reason is almost entirely the noise. I can handle a lively resort, but the level of nighttime noise was just too much for me. So my biggest piece of advice is: if you want a party, music, activity and a lively atmosphere, Sunscape Coco Punta Cana could be a great fit. If you want a quiet, relaxing vacation where you can sleep peacefully at night, I would choose somewhere else.

Stayed at the resort for 7 days not a day in our stay where the beach is cleaned from seaweeds. Water is dark brown, aside from weeds it looks as if the oil from all the yatch , boats that are docked there are all in the water. It didn’t say in the description that it’s a few feet away from marine dock. We were also hassled by the people at the beach, hard to relax when they swarm you trying to sell you anything and everything. These hasslers also keep saying “Nihao” indirectly to me although I’m not Chinese which I think is very disrespectful to the Chinese people and to me The rooms smelled bad like sewer. The pillows are smelly although the cleaners changed the casings. The AC is not cold enough. We were also asked to be in a meeting the next morning after we arrived but because we decided to sleep in and not show up for the meeting when I asked AirCanada rep in Sunscape about our pick up time the day before our check out he said “ you missed your chance, you are all not in the list because you didn't show up in the meeting” The meeting is just about selling activities of things to do in Punta Cana which are far more expensive than buying online. The rep gave us a hard time before telling us the pick up time for airport transpo. He was asking for eticket number which I couldn’t provide at the time bec it was in my email and there is NO WIFI at the front desk area and at the Windows buffet area. I was ready to loose it and call the airline itself. We were also scammed at the airport by some dude named Miguel who lured us to go to Hard Rock Cafe for free breakfast buffet and discounted activities. On the way back to Canada 2 of my children were placed on stand by bec the plane was full they said. I don’t understand bec I paid for the package, I will understand if they seat at random spot and not together bec they didn’t buy preferred seats. Been on the trip with my family and it’s the first time I’ve experienced being harassed everywhere we go in Dominican Republic. Another thing, I do not know how someone from DR was able to make a $5.68 purchase using my account from the name “Rafael Mendez” which I denied bec I didn’t authorized him to make this purchase . I also recieved a reset password for my apple ? This is my first and last visit there.

Service very slow. Front desk is slow took 2 hours to check in. Restaurant very slow. It takes 20 mins to get your drinks. Also asked for an extra towel and blanket on the app. Stayed for 7 days never got the extra towel or blanket

Best part of entire week was the great weather. Sunscape Coco was nice. Nothing to write home about. It is also quite large with 17 buildings with 14 of them on one side of the main pool, buffet and lobby. If you have mobility issues please make sure you request a room in a building close to the lobby/buffet as they do not have golf carts to move people around. I was disappointed by the food. Not much sea food for a resort right on the ocean. But mostly I was disappointed by some of the staff, especially the main pool swim-up bar bartenders, and the guy at the main buffet grilling the chicken and beef (center grill). They made us feel like we were bothering them or taking from them even though we tipped generously. Sadly their attitude left a bad taste for us in regards to Punta Cana. Won't be returning there. Having said that the hotel was clean, food was editable, most of the staff was nice and friendly, and the beach was nice.

Booked the extra Sunclub room, no real benefit to that as anyone can go anywhere on the resort. Location was furthest from restaurants/ bars, however did have a "quite" pool and a make shift bar (till 6pm) in this building block. Food at the a la carte restaurants was very good. Italian, Japanese, seafood and steak. The main buffet was typical. Not bad but not great. There was entertainment at night which was fun, though we only saw two nights as more of early risers. Beach was the highlight of stay. Plenty of loungers and palabas. Up at six am and plenty of loungers available to enjoy ocean and a coffees/pastry from 24 hr coffee shop. Entry into water was easy, a few rocks along shore, but after 5 to ten feet in, sandy bottom. Water so clear you can navigate easily. Seawall encompasses whole beach area, so waves are minimal. In block 8, pool also available. Perfect combo. Room was nothing special. Had to request a fan as AC seemed to struggle. Fan was great. Beer fridge stocked daily with water, pop and 7 oz beer. Daily is a perk of Sunclub, which is good as after 6 pm bar is at other end of resort. Room service is included with Sunclub too ( didn't use), along with an Air conditioned lounge by check in thar has a bar fridge stocked along with various snacks throughout the day, that was a nice perk, but again not worth the upgrade. Staff were great. Always a smile and hello/ola and appreciative of a tip. I would definitely recommend this resort and would return.

This is my second time to this resort , and my experience was just as good, if not better than last time . They have upgraded the world cafe( buffet) and added a few new touches that make it so much more enjoyable . We stayed in the tower, our room was large, clean, cozy and stocked with all the things you may need. The staff at the resort are friendly , attentive and will try to help you in any way they can. The beach is the real star of the show, it’s calm waters and beauty really keep you coming back .

Grounds were very nice and maintained. Room was good other than no drawers to unpack. So living out of suitcase was a hassle.Food was adequate, found alot of people aaying they were sick. Not sure from food or too much sun. Entertainment was excellent and team were great. Pool,not enough chairs or umbrellas so by 530 am all the chairs were saved with towels.we found multiple saved chairs were stolen with no regret from thieves when confronted. Solution more umbrellas and chair. Still we thought resort was ok.would we go there again probabely not.

The resort is small, not a lot to do. The food is mediocure at best. Rooms with an ocean view are treated to the very loud and long shows or weddings until midnight. Lots of locals which the hotel caters too. There is no adult pool area. The staff is very nice rooms and public areas are kept very clean, we will not be back to this resort.

The hotel is beautiful very clean and well maintained .Staff were friendly When we arrived a group of 6 of us they had 2 in building 3 2 in building 10 and 2 in building 11 after some complaining the desk guy got all 6 of us in building 3 so that made us happy .The 2 buffets were great quite a variety everyday found kalidascope a lot quieter than windows but overall both were good .The only restaurant all of us went to was chopsticks the food and chef were wonderful .The pool was clean and very lively daily .Activities going on music playing was pretty good but busy.The beach had lots of seaweed every morning but they had it all cleaned up by 10 it is very close to a marina so lots of boats to see getting loaded to go on excursions again lots of daily music and activities going on .White soft sand and pretty good views .overall our group had fun and not to much to complain about but there is a few and they are as follows no Spanish coffees at all .yes you can get coffees and capachinos but all in paper throw away cups .The resort is huge and very very busy so long lines to get coffees not alot of seating in shade to enjoy said coffees .Long lines at most restaurants except the buffets .Alot of vendors bugging you everyday at beach and pool.Pool chairs and beach chairs need to be saved early and when you get them everybody is so close you can't really move them around to stay in shade of umbrella so you fry .Hard to get a spot in the pool without getting volley balls flying around or kids jumping in almost on top of you so keep that in mind .The rooms were very nice beds were comfortable pillows were also comfy .One maid wouldn't give me bottled water in the evening but the day maid gave me 6 bottles the next day so that was good. We really enjoyed hanging out in the evening at the sports bar it had a nice patio to dance on so we brought our own speaker and did that most nights and Richard is an absolute gem of a bartender he took great care of us all week and makes the best chocolate martinis we loved him and his sense of humor he was great ❤️ So if you like alot of people and vendors and line ups this is a great resort .

Rooms are old, look for another place. The beach that should be the selling point of this resort does not make up for all the other things wrong with the resort. The servers in the buffet restaurant are very hardworking though, kudos to the ladies there.

The Hotel was spacious and clean .Great layout to all the amenities. The food was oooh so good , fresh and great variety. Very pleased . Wasn't very pleased with the sports bar if was too small .For such a large resort with hundreds of guests to have such a small evening dancing area didn't make sense .however great vacation had by all .

The 1 major complaint we had. Was the main Lobby ( which was nice layout) The furniture in the Lobby was in very Poor condition, and not plentiful , Too bad because this is the first thing people see when first arriving, or have to gather to on raining eveing,s which we had too. The addition of better furniture and more plentiful would be a big asset for that Hotel. We were at this Hotel aprox 8yrs ago known as Belive, the upgrades made for nice inprovements.

Beach, pool and grounds are beautiful. Italian restaurant was very good. Some rooms are in bad need of refurbishment and have a nasty smell. Front desk reaction to our complaint about our room was met with indifference initially. Don't pay extra for ocean view you may get a partial ocean view or a restaurant outside your door as we did and they called it oceanview. We asked for red wine and were told they had no opener. Wine served in paper cups? Ice blender was out of order for 2 days. Generally not good value for your money.

This hotel could use some newer lobby furniture. But otherwise the hotel was modern and fresh looking. Grounds were well kept. Staff were very friendly. We were assigned building 16 for the swim out room. Staff informed us that it was a long walk for my partner that had mobility issues. The next morning we asked to be moved to a closer room to amenities. They were accommodating and upgraded us to the Club section for $60 per night US. On seeing the room, we were impressed and enjoyed the rest of our stay. We must say the food was good but the choices never changed much from lunch to dinner. Breakfast was great. Room service was slow but food was still warm when brought to the room. I would stay in the Club section again because of the convenience to all amenities.

This resort was clean with very friendly staff. The pools and beaches were great and the buffet and à la cartes offered a good variety of food. The size of the resort made it great for travelling with a large group for meeting up. Lineups for restaurants on the night of the beach buffets were not ideal, especially for those with children and new arrivals to the resort. I would definitely recommend the upgrade to SunClub for premium drinks and increased dining options. Kenneth, the bartender was fabulous. He was friendly, efficient and treated us to his speciality drinks! Rooms were a good size and bar fridge restocked daily. No issues with getting beach chairs together for large group.

Entertainment was very good food no so good beacn small and the pool more small with only one open bar On top i hot stuck in the elevator out of service for two hours with no way of leting know from inside that i was stuck. My wife come looking for me and she let them know that i was stranded inside The alarm buttom didn’t work and no cell signal inside and the only way wss to k ick the door and hopefully some one would hear

I just wanted to say our travel agent was great to deal with! I found the resort itself very overcrowded. I liked our room, building #4. It was a central location to the pool, beach and lobby. Pool & beach were nice but very overcrowded & you had to get up & claim a lounge chair by 6am. If you waited until 7am you were scrambling. There was variety of food but mid level. Sometime the buffet would seat you other times not. It was very confusing. One morning the smaller buffet restaurant ran out of coffee. Kept saying 5 mins, an hour later still no coffee. Coffee bar had huge line ups and only 2 staff. Staff itself were very pleasant but I felt they were understaffed. I feel it is because of overflow of Cuba resorts being closed. Some of the bars did not have vodka, some days the bars did not have beer. You’d have to go from bar to bar to find a drink you wanted. Bartenders were excellent. I found the à la carte restaurants were very slow to get drinks and food out. For the most part I had a great vacation. I did like the resort it was a good size. Just too busy for my liking. My husband & I will stick with the luxury resorts.

Just returned from a beautiful week.the resort a little outdated but awesome. The food was great, the location was perfect, and the snorkeling was WOW, the best we have experienced. The ocean water is so beautiful and clear. We loved Curacao and hope to return one day!

The grounds, beach and pools are all very nice and clean. If you want a Lounge chair in the shade be prepared to go put a towel out by 6:30am. The food was ok but not great. Sometimes it could have been warmer. The service was inconsistent. Some servers were very friendly and attentive but many times we were left hoping someone would come by to refill drinks or remove plates etc.

The resort is clean and nice. We enjoyed our stay. I did find it under staffed. Our rooms were not cleaned till very late in the day. Our fridge didn’t get stalked properly. Towel shortage and pool lounge chairs and beach chairs were an issue with not enough for the amount of people.

The trip was organized incredibly well, the hotel was beautiful, rooms were clean and buffets had selection. There was minimal issue with a language barrier, however that is to be expected and wasn’t hard to manage a way to figure it out. Overall we had a great trip and we loved it.

We were a group of six with 3 rooms in the sunclub. Our room was a swim out. The rooms were clean and only had a couple days where our fridge didn’t get restocked. There is construction going on next door which was quite loud every day. Definitely impacted the enjoyment of the swim out room. There are plenty of food options and bars throughout the resort. The new no reservations for restaurants is super annoying as you can wait several hours to get seated. There seems to be staffing deficit as we struggled to even get water at the buffets. Definitely a huge lack of lounge chairs around pools and at the beach. Ended up renting Bali beds a couple days.

The Hotel is excellent, the staff is friendly respectful, and the food is amazing, especially the Italian and Japanese restaurants. There is entertainment every evening and this makes Sunscape Curacao Resort quite attractive, and there are activities for all age groups. The grounds are well kept, the pools are great, but the building and the furniture are archaic! The residences are in need of renovation! I would go back any time.

The entertainment staff were amazing, Coca-Cola and Timon were non-stop the whole time we were there and were very good at engaging with all of the guests, no matter what the guest's primary language was. The dancers, musicians and singers were amazing, a different show every night. They did a really good job of adapting when the shows were moved inside because of the weather. The food was amazing! There were long waits at the a la carte restaurants, so we went to the buffet for every meal and were very happy to do so. Dinner options changed every night, so there was a good variety to chose from. The workers there are amazing as well; a shoutout to Grimil who took care of us every night, making sure we found a good table and keeping our drinks topped up. He was a real sweetheart. And to the pasta station as well who remembered my order after just a couple of nights. I would say the one that that may need improvement is the housekeeping. Some days our room wasn't cleaned until after 5:00 p.m., which made it tricky if we wanted to go back to the room for anything in the middle of the day. But other than that, we would love to go back again. The location is amazing too, a perfect distance from the airport so no long bus ride to and from, so you can maximize your time at the resort.

The hotel is a very short drive from the airport in a busy commercial area. It is dated and in need of repair. It is said that there are six restaurants to choose from but in reality there is one buffet with poor quality American style food that runs out shortly after opening, an Italian restaurant with food that churned my stomach that was only open on occasion and a Mexican restaurant that was not open once in our week long stay. There is a food truck that serves the entire resort during lunch time and again caters to those who prefer American hot dogs and burgers. There is one pool that is crowded by 8am where there are loud classes (aquafit, zumba, games) hosted throughout the day so consider if this is your scene. Bring noise cancelling headphones if you prefer to read quietly. Our first room had broken A/C and faced the loud evening entertainment and we were upgraded without issue to a larger decent room. Unfortunately we found a cockroach crawling on our bed one night which made it hard to enjoy for the remainder of the stay. The staff were great except when it came to the cockroach situation. We asked for a later checkout which was given to us by one staff member but clearly not communicated to anyone else as when we returned to our room we were locked out and the staff were quite rude about it. The one positive is that the view was gorgeous but overall we would not recommend this resort.

Hotel itself is rundown and in need of maintenance. Rooms were great but maid service was hit & miss. The Italian a la carte restaurant was great, but the variety of food at the buffet was only okay. Staff were great. The disco music was audible from our room, was loud and went until 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning. The pool and swim up bar are nice. The beach is not swimmable in this area.

It was okay. Our room was lovely. The beach had lots of seaweed and lots of vendors that want you to looky looky. I was disappointed in the Ala carte restaurants. They only took reservations at 1 of them, and nothing was available in the 2 weeks we were there. The other restaurants had line ups, and if you didn't get in you just wasted an hour standing in line. Also we only found 3 restaurants, it's a huge resort. The food was typical buffet style.

Hotel rooms were very comfortable The cleaning staff were excellent Sunclub staff were very helpful Some of the a la carte restaurants were very slow The beach is beautiful; however, get to the beach before 7am if you want an umbrella. It was very difficult to get shade for our grandkids. Sad really, as the resort does not want anyone to hold the chairs, but many of the seats under the umbrellas were vacant for hours, with only a towel and a few personal items holding them.

We have just returned from a week's stay at the Sunscape Curacao which I would rate at Excellent. Overall this is a solid 4 out of 5 star. The snorkelling was outstanding with plenty of fish to see right off the beach. The breakwater adds to safety and makes it more enjoyable. We even got a car rental and visited multiple other beaches but the snorkelling was still the best at Sunscape. Our room was clean and never encountered hot water or housekeeping issues. This is not a gourmet Michelin experience but the food was good and varied contrary to some reviews. We were always able to find something and ate well. As for service and staff: Yes you are on island time. Pro tip: if you start with a smile, that goes a long way. Shoutout to Nathaly and Jorge at the Blue Grill as well as Jermaine at the World Grill. We would definitely recommend and return to the Sunscape Curacao. Frank and Jodi

Perfect for seniors and watching gstring bikinis Staff went above and beyond. Music sometimes too loud. Good party place,........................... I'm finished but system not happy and won't let me out of survey

Between Sky, Mr Pineapple Mr Handsome and the rest of the entertainment team, this resort goes above and beyond! Daily games and nightly shows kept me laughing and playing for 2 weeks. They learned my name and always stopped for a quick hello. Definitely 10/10

The Sunscape curacao was ideally located. The beach was beautiful, with a protected swimming area filled with a natural reef and lots of colourfull fish. Snorkeling gear and water shoes are recommended. The water entry into the beach is rocky. The staff and service were very friendly. You can drink the water from the taps. The resort is older. With that comes bigger rooms, but also maintenance issues. Our room had a broken handle on the bathroom door and the kids got locked in. The problem was not fixed in our timeline. The resort was large. The sun club area was the quiet part, but quite far from the restaurants and amenities, so it wasn’t ideal for people with mobility issues. We stayed in tower 2. There was a neighboring business that had obnoxiously loud music until midnight, and the pool area of the Sunscape was quite loud as well, both day and night. If you value quiet, book the sun club area. Food and drinks were good for an all inclusive. Service in the À la carte restaurants were slow. If you didn’t get there for opening at 6:30 there were long waits as the restaurants seemed understaffed. It could take 2-2.5 hours to finish a meal. The gym facilities were basic and crowded. You could safely walk outside of the resort as curaçao is very safe.

We loved the beaches at this resort. The water was calm and felt very safe for snorkeling and swimming, with plenty of sea life to enjoy. Overall, the food was good. However, service at the à la carte restaurants was consistently slow. They appeared to be short‑staffed in the kitchen, and guests seemed to be seated in a short time span, which created additional delays. Meals often arrived cool or cold. The buffet offered a nice variety of dishes and the service there was good. Staff throughout the resort were friendly and welcoming. The rooms were spacious and clean, though dated. As an older property, some things were not functioning properly. For example, the bathroom door handle was broken, and closing the door risked getting locked inside. We requested repairs several times, but it was never fixed during our stay. The music, entertainment at the resort and neighbouring properties was also very, very loud! It typically went to midnight.

Rooms are dated, problems of some sort in most rooms, problems handled by staff or moved rooms, beach , pools very clean, staff very friendly and accommodating,food good,snorkeling outstanding, Sun Club may not be worth it for everyone.

All I have to say is terrible food, rude and lazy service at restaurants and bars unless you tip big, room was under construction and overall not worth the money. Got taken to the hospital due to parasites and food poisoning from poor hygiene and food prep practices.

Very nice resort , excellent service nice clean room and very good maid service , we really enjoyed our 2 weeks vacation. This is the resort we stayed on our first vacation to Puerto Vallarta , used to be Holiday Inn.

Grounds were lovely. Very poorly run hotel. We were Sun Club ...ment nothing. Got seats at the pool once ,at 4 in the afternoon. The lack of band and not having to book for The restaurants and lining up for ages was an epic fail.

The room was fabulous. Buffet had lots of variety. Staff were friendly. Pool aquafit excellent as well as game activities! Mexican restaurant good, others difficult to figure app & you had to pay $50 American which surprised us so we didnt go. Excursions of monkeys & four wheelers great but bus switching confusing.

Staff was exceptionally helpful. The Sun Club was an excellent choice. The rooms, the gardens, the pools, all scrupulously clean. We especially enjoyed the close proximity of the rooms to the pool to the beach. All were just steps away. Definitely plan to go back.

First off reading reviews on trip advisor I was wondering if I made the wrong choice of resort. I was so happy we didn't listen and change resorts. The deluxe pool view room was always clean and fridge restocked daily if not you just have to ask. Pools 7 or 8 in total werent perfectly cleaned but what resorts are. Beach was lovely and large ,sargassum but not resorts fault someone always cleaning. Buffet always had plenty of choices so you never went hungry. Went to Tierra Amazonian restaurant 2X loved it Bluewater Grill 2X loved it Mexican X1 Downside lineups for all , your on vacation grin and bere it All servers were happy and did a great job but the resort could use alot more in all areas. The resort is alot of walking if you have problems no golf carts . They absolutely need more garbage cans and maybe someone walking around cleaning up after ungrateful guests who are too lazy to pick up after themselves We would definitely come back

We travelled to this resort as a group of 14 people ages ranging from 2-73. We all had an excellent time. The rooms were great, spacious, and set up nicely although there are no dressers to unpack your clothing. Pools were cleaned daily, although with the amount of swimmers had a film on top of what seems like sunscreen. Beaches were also cleaned daily but with the constant waves there was always some seaweed left behind throughout the day. Nightly entertainment on the stage or at the beach was always entertaining. Buffet was great always had a variety of food and we were always able to find something to eat. No issues with the food. Went to three à la carte and they were all delicious and hot. Reservations for chopsticks needed through the app. Mexican restaurant was a wait in line to be seated and the Italian restaurant gave us a buzzer and we had to stay close until it went off. We would definitely return for another visit in the future.

Our 7 day stay was amazing! Staff at this resort were fantastic, kind & courteous. Our room was nice, clean and the bathroom had recently been remodeled. We had a beachfront, ground floor room in the Plover building. Highly recommend it. We opened our patio door, stepped off our terrace and we were on the beach. Everything was so nice and close, the restaurants, pool etc.. The food was good. We enjoyed our stay very much :)

The grounds are very well maintained. not enough garbage containers around. The entertainment people are great specially Chocalate. miss having foam parties when it was BeLive. I have been at this location 10 times and will continue to come back as long as I get treated the way I have in the past.

Curacao is a beautiful warm, friendly, beautiful, historic and safe island. The resort was clean. The food was excellent. The Italian was my favorite. The staff were super friendly. The beach has a concrete pad down with Sand over it in the sitting area because lack of natural white sand I guess. There is a rule about no reserving beach chairs which is completely ignored so palapas are gone by 6 AM but you can find a lounger. Sunclubs are newer in better shape. Bring water shoes, it's a bit rocky in places. Entertaining fire dancers were excellent, we had a carnival night with excellent dynamic musicians. And lounge type music outside at night. We were suggested to purchase the Sunclub package. It includes having a separate nicer building at quiet end of the resort with your own less crowded beach area, private bar, newer chairs, different towels, private pool and a bar fridge restocked daily. and prioritized check in.We got NONE of that. On arrival we got in line for check in and waited. When it was our turn we got sent to the sunclub lounge to check in there and waited again. After that we never saw anyone in it because it seems just like a business office with a couple couches and chairs, coffee, wine, water and cookies. The term lounge is exaggerated. We took our luggage, struggled by ourselves to the building at the farthest building from the sunclub. Only one elevator worked of the two. The halls were dingy. The room was bright, large and clean. The maids were very nice. We got an ocean view, true but it was the back of the kitchen and buffet area with all the noise and ventilation sound. The cold water tap didn't work, no problem. We slept separate on our anniversary vacation because we got 2 small beds instead of the king bed in our vacation agreement. No quiet for us because the nightly entertainment was just down to the left of us. On 2 different days we banging above us from workers directly above us on the roof working into the evening. The daily restocked fridge was checked the next day after getting there the nothing until after asking personally/ calling 5 times to ask. Second last day they came . You can drink the water but only the hot water tap worked so I filled my yeti and put in fridge or went down to the bar to get water. The vip services said sunclub members are put all over the resort which there were some others in our building. Finally one rep said they overbooked, that's why we weren't in sunclub area. I find it deceitful/ sneaky, we never got what we paid for, no apologies or reimbursement. We did eat in the Bluewater grill for breakfast once. It's for sunclub only but is the same food in smaller portions except with table service. Got asked several times to visit the dreams hotel and learn about the vacation club in a private session for 45 min, no obligation and get a free couples massage. AKA time share pressure pitch. The concierge Amanda was excellent and attentive although couldn't comment on on our downgrade or any way to resolve it. We were never moved. You may not get what you ask for and I know we're not the first. PS short walk to Mambo beach. Beach is identical but you have to pay to stay and squeeze in with all the cruise visitors. Nice sops and restaurants. The Curacao Store on upper level is very reasonably priced. Got all our souvenirs there. The gift shop at the resort is +++ expensive.

Dining was terrible with the exception of Italian restaurant. Sunclub was not worth it - always requested beer but never came. Beach was very rocky and entertainment in the evenings was not good. The buffet was horrible and if it weren’t for the Italian restaurant we would have lost some weight for sure!

It met my expectations. The people who work there are excellent. The food was good, but the pizza area needs improvement; I think it needs more staff! The air conditioning needs to be improved in the rooms.

We had an amazing stay at Sunscape Coco Punta Cana and truly enjoyed every part of our vacation. The resort is beautiful, very clean, and well maintained. The staff were exceptional — friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with a smile, which made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was excellent, with a great variety of options at both the buffet and the à la carte restaurants. Everything was fresh and well prepared. The beach was stunning, with soft sand and clear water, and there were plenty of activities and entertainment throughout the day, as well as relaxing options when we wanted quiet time. Overall, it was an excellent experience and exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely recommend Sunscape Coco Punta Cana to friends and family and would happily return in the future.

Stayed Nov/25...great hotel, very clean, kind helpful staff. Beach is beautiful, with plenty of shade and chairs. Grounds were very neat and tidy, as the grounds crew does nice work. The ala carte restaurants were good, especially daytime at the Bluewater grill and the food truck(super fish tacos)!! Buffet for breakfast and lunch was plentiful, great selection, however not crazy about the supper buffet. I did like the taco/sopa options most nights but pirate night buffet was not good. So many great people, I wish I could remember all their names, as I should have written this upon returning. But I do remember Margharito, waiter at the Bluewater! Great guy made me laugh! Warm water but waves were a bit rough, which made for alot of sand in your swimsuit! Lol We were able to walk down the beach a ways and saw the release of baby turtles, which was the highlight of our trip!!

This is an older resort. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Housekeeping was minimal but as I said the rooms were clean. The grounds are very pretty, the beach is very nice and there was alot of seaweed on the beach when we were there over Christmas. The staff were friendly and service was basic but good. Tony in the restaurant is fantastic! It is a lower cost resort and that is reflected in the service. We had a great time at this resort. It was difficult to get in to the A la Carte but the buffet was quite good.

It is located a short drive from the airport. A very clean and well maintained resort. It is the smallest one I have been to however the benefits are that you don’t have to walk long distances to get to the restaurant or cafés and even the beach is right there. On my trip all the staff at the Cafe , bars and restaurants were amazing. Customer service was great. Cleanliness of the rooms and the public washrooms was fantastic. I also noticed that this resort was very wheelchair friendly although I do not have a use of it. There were ramps everywhere, which is great. In case someone from the resort is reading this I would request that staff be trained to wipe down the steam nozzle of the espresso machine after each use. Nightly entertainment was good. Entertainment was great. I cannot think of any shortcomings.

This hotel was wonderful. Everything was close so there wasn’t a lot of walking. The beach was beautiful. The grounds were clean, the rooms were clean, the buffet was lovely lots of choices and the green juice was delicious. We were there over Christmas and the Christmas Eve dinner was one of the best I have ever seen. Above and beyond all the way. Our house keeper was so beautiful she was friendly and was singing Christmas songs. She gave me trouble when I tried to help make the bed haha. Look for Tony in the buffet he is so friendly and speaks excellent English. If I had to say something negative it would be the noise. There are a lot of carts travelling on the pathway and they are very loud. The beach did have a lot of seaweed too but that’s nature. They didn’t use bracelets so we even got to try out some sunclub features because some of our party was staying in sunclub. Over all I would go back and I would get sunclub swim out room!

We spent a week over the Xmas and the place was very busy. The rooms were ok, close to the beach and to short distance to everything. Where this place needs improvement is the food options, services, starting with check-in: it took more than 1h and was past mid-night. Buffet service is slow and sometimes inexistent, waiting for a glass of water or a beer and sometimes was easier and faster to help yourself. Food options were very limited and poor, if I compare with our last experience in DR, for example Ocean Blue or even Senators from Puerto Plata. The beach is nice has lots of chairs available and lots of shades, there was lots of sargassum, and that got cleaned up a few times in a week. The hotel that is the neighbor to left, did a way better job in cleaning it. The entertainment was fine with shows every night. I would recommend this place with one condition if you can get it very cheap. If you get a very good deal, go for it.

No one seemed happy to be working there Food was okay Hard to get into the restaurant beside buffet Lots of seaweed Tony is the best server in the buffet by far Had a good time but could had a better time if I payed more.

Bad service. When you have a complaint about the service they say’ no hablo ingles”. There was no fish in the menu, nor beef. Only pork. Barely any passion fruits. Dirty. Plates are made of plastic; glasses are made of plastic too. The room was clean; however we found 2 cockroaches in the bathroom. The beach was so so dirty: seaweed was removed from the shore only 2x in 7 days, there was plastic in the water, boats were too close to the beach- it smelled like gasoline and it blocked the view

If you are looking for friendly people willing to help when asked; meals in open outdoor restaurants steps from the ocean; snorkelling steps from your beach chair in what feels like an aquarium; sunsets to die for from the beach or your room balcony; and a great location for exploring the rest of Curacao then this resort is for you! If you are someone who likes modern large resorts with bar service in your beach chair then this is probably not your best choice. The resort rooms could use some upgrade, however, the beds are comfortable, the AC worked and they were always clean and well stocked. The food in the restaurants (with the exception of the only one requiring reservation -the PanAsian) was good. The beach has beautiful swimming and snorkelling. The only downside is the shortage of palapas which created the early morning competition to reserve..no sleeping in if you want some shade. We explored the beauty of Curacao off resort with ease. It is a 5 minute walk to Mambo beach which can provide the Miami type vibe if that interests you. The shuttle vans that cost $2 stops out front of the resort. We took it to and from Williamsted- a must see. We hired a private guide who drove us to the north west -Shete Boka National Park, Playa Pescado(turtles), Grote Knipe beach, Playa Kenepa Chiki, Flamingos. Private guide was more economical than paying for excursion for 3 people. We arranged a snorkelling tour to visit the south west of island -Spanish Waters with cruise through the bay on the way to sunken Tugboat. We would recommend this resort for those who do not need grandiose to enjoy the amazing beauty of Curacao.

This was a wonderful escape from our Canadian winter weather. Couldn't have asked for better weather. Sunny and 31c everyday. The resort was nice and people were exceptionally friendly. Also, the service was outstanding. Beautiful beach and the sunsets were amazing! Also, we had no issues with vendors or people selling timeshares. Our favorite restaurants were the Italian and the Bluewater grill. However, we were not keen on the buffet or some of the Mexican food. However, this is purely personal taste. If you have children, this is a great place to visit. There are many kids programs available at this resort. If there is an area for improvement, I would suggest perhaps more food/dinner variety.

Entertainment team were great. Good service and food Overall good vacation resort. Food was okay. Shows were different from other resort.. Entertainment team were very freindly and have good programs specially for kids.

Overall this was a very nice place. Grate for snorkeling in a controlled area restaurants were very good. Rooms very clean and comfortable. Live music was nice. Nice getaway. City was beautiful and people were friendly. Definitely going back!

Sunscape coco. The staff are amazing but, the room we were in definitely needed some updating. Pools were great. Mexican restaurant was fabulous we went twice. Buffet always had a lot of choices. Visit the star struck bar and find Rafael. Great bartender.

We had a good family vacation. Our goal was to spend time together and the hotel gave us rooms next to each other. I would say this is a solid 3.5 resort. Pros: Large resort with lots of entertainment. Wi Fi worked well. Food was good. Snacks and drinks were always available. Chairs by the pool and at the beach were easy to find. Beach was nice for walking. Enjoyed the slides at the pool. Overall the resort and rooms were clean. Cons: Swimming at the beach was not something we wanted to do. Quite alot of seaweed and sandy dark water. The app for the buffets was not user friendly. We found them hard to book and most often said nothing available even when we tried booking early. Also they had ala cartes that cost extra even though we were on an all inclusive package. The servers at the buffet were not organized. One night we had problems getting them to bring us utensils. We had a feeling there was some problems between the staff and who was responsible for each area in the buffet.

Trip started with our deluxe oceanfront view. Having a view of the fish restaurant. Asked the front desk twice to see if we could change to a higher floor. They said they would get back to me and never did. The toilet was running called the front desk. Nobody ever came to look at it. We ended up just fixing it ourselves every time we flushed. The ceiling in the bathroom was leaking we called and nobody ever came. The stocked mini bar is two beers and three pops. Had be track done someone almost every day to bring water bottles. Only one bar that you can get drinks at during the day. The hotel is very dated and rundown Buffet ran out of plates. We are extensive travels and have been all over the whole. Will not be going back to that hotel.

Over all the resort was beautiful, food was edible at best, getting the mini bar in the room restocked was a daily challenge. Our room was not even ready as requested for when we arrived, the mini bar was not stocked the floor was not cleaned room appeared to have been tidy only the beds were made only. It was a big disappointment from the moment we got there. Don't think I will be returning to this resort anytime soon. - Check in was spending forever waiting in the hot and humid lobby. - We weren't shown to our room. - The key cards for the room door did not work most of the time. - No cold water when we got to the room, only boiling hot from the sink. - Go to take a shower, only cold water 6 out of 7 days we were there. - The bathroom flooded from the ceiling on day 2. - Toilet barely flushes. - no face cloths or hand towels, only big towels - floor was covered in sand - room was not clean upon arrival - mini bar was not stocked, had to beg for bottles of water every day. - didnt get the room we were supposed to get and if we wanted the other room they were going to charge us an extra $500 USD. So that didnt happen. - the staff obviously dont enjoy working here. They dont smile unless you smile at them first. - the vendors selling jewelry at night harass you to try to get you to buy stuff and insult you if you dont. -my husband was sick for 4 days, and I tried to bring back a plate of toast and a banana from the buffet for him, and the staff went off on me, like I was trying to rob the place. So I left it there with them and took the banana, with them chastising me in Spanish angrily. - if you dont speak Spanish, youre basically ignored or passed over by staff. - the nightly entertainment is a joke. Either music so loud it makes your chest vibrate, a magic show so boring even children weren't interested, the same dancers every night, a poor imitation of a circus with 3 jugglers, 2 stilt walkers, a couple of guys doing flips. -no activities during the day -the food was not the greatest. Was told chicken was boneless, had bones in it. All they had for fruit was melon, banana and pineapple. No salad dressing except thin ketchup. Most of the food was either dried out, over cooked/burnt or mushy. -staff barely speak English, and just nod, pretending to understand and not answer your questions. -No towels left when going to the pool or beach. -signs at the pool say no leaving belongings on chairs to reserve them, but not inforced, nowhere to sit at the pool because of this. - nothing but Spanish on the tv in the room NEVER COMING BACK TO THIS RESORT AGAIN!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON IT!!! Old, outdated, dirty floor, plumbing issues, mini bar was an empty fridge, coffee machine full of non-coffee particles and dirt. None. The environment around this resort was a slum Vendors on the beach force you to take pictures with their parrots, and demand $40 USD for them, threatening you. No security on the beach to protect you from them. Harassed by people from random "party boats" that are on the beach as well. Not too bad, except people allowed to smoke marijuana on the resort and having to smell it wherever you walked.

We have no complaints. The rooms were clean, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic.Thanks to the Italian restaurant and Nicole for decorating for my husband's birthday ( a total surprise) The beach was a bit rocky but not a problem with water shoes, so many fish right at the beach because of the coral. The bartenders were great, and Kenneth's Special drink was a delicious Adult flavored Strawberry Shake. We would definitely stay there again.

We loved our week at Secrets Tides Punta Cana. The resort was so clean and well kept. Staff was professional, attentive, happy to help and plentiful. You could always find someone to assist you if needed. Drinks were served in glasses and were of great quality - bars were never far away. Our room - a swim out with butler service was beautiful appointed and had multiple lighting options throughout the room and bluetooth speakers in the ceiling that we could play our own music from. Room Service delivered on time and were accurate and hot upon delivery. Our butler was named Milcaides (Micky) and he was fabulous. He was a terrific help to my partner who planned a wedding proposal while we were there. Micky played a big part in helping to make it a very memorable occasion for us. He was so attentive, personable and genuinely wanting our stay to be the best possible. The entertainment was good - lots of activities throughout the day to participate in. Evening live entertainment and then shows. We didn't stay for any of the shows, but they looked to be well presented in a very nice theatre area with plenty of seating. This was not a "party" resort. There was a DJ who played music throughout the day, but it wasn't crazy loud or obnoxious. Evening parties/shows ended by 11, with people being able to stay up and enjoy the lobby bar later into the evening if they chose. Restaurants were decorated very nicely, food was delicious and menus had lots of options at every restaurant. We were extremely pleased with the whole vacation. Knowing we set the bar quite high after this trip for future vacations to measure up to. It was a romantic, relaxing and thoroughly enjoyed vacation in the DR. Don't hesitate to book it!

Travelled Nov 8-15 Resort is dated but rooms are spacious and clean. Staff are all exceptional and very helpful. Food was excellent and delicious! A very safe and beautiful place to visit and enjoy! Thank you all. Too many names to mention but kudos to the entire staff.

Hotel needs some updating. Water temp control on showers needs work to balance more vs hitting extremes (cold and hot). Cafe was excellent. Staff were excellent and accomodating. Dining needs some work. Not much of a selection on buffet items. Italian open every day, but Mexican / Grill restaurant were not. Grill sandwiches were excellent.

First off, Trip central was amazing to book with! Once I get over the trauma of this resort, I will book elsewhere! We just returned from the Dominican and I wanted to give you the review we sent to Hyatt Customer Service and they have told me to contact you or Air Canada holidays. I knew the reviews were bad and I knew the resort was bottom of the Hyatt chain, but this resort should honestly be shut down. I have also contacted UVC as a member/owner I am shocked at the difference! We’ve only ever stayed at Dreams Now and Secrets, but this was insane to me. Anyways, I just wanted you to know about the week as I’m sure you may have heard the complaints before as well and I hate to complain! We are all business owners, this was by far the worst hotel I’ve ever been to. Booking with you was wonderful and I will book again but definitely NOT this resort and sad the Dominican is off my favourites list. Not at all your fault and I’m thankful for the easy efficient booking process. So RUN don’t walk from the blue shirts! Their membership is useless! My letter is as follows: We just returned from Sunscape coco punta cana (Oct14-21-2025) and as a UVC member, I’m embarrassed I purchased this trip! The list of issues is Endless and trust me when I say, I’ve stayed at lower class resorts that put this resort to shame First of all, we booked 2 rooms. Once they found out we were members, we were immediately shunned! Everyone else offered upgrades and special treatment! I was shocked to witness first hand! Then daughter with infant put in a room beside the party pool with no sleep at all! Offered a room with fee to move and will note we were in separate buildings when requested joined rooms! When moved to a room with no AC…we are all covered in bed bug bites confirmed by the doctor, we have many mosquito bites, but not as many as bed bug bites! They were moving furniture from room to room and our request was just ignored! I asked what the issue was to our Neighbor and they too had the same issues! Covered in bed bugs! We are home now sick and basicly threw away everything we went there with! We ordered water for the infant and literally had to steal from maids cart as not once not twice..10 room service requests were ignored and maid did not understand English. On the app, it showed as pending requests. I phoned front desk and they sent a gentlemen with pop! When the maid seen me taking water for the baby, she took 2 bottles back…and She gave us 2 water! When room service finally showed up on day 4, they delivered 4 more bottles of pop!! No water, no beer…just pop! Our toilet didn’t flush, 2 days we were walking to the sunclub to use their facilities before they finally came with a plunger! Then not one day did we have room service even after showing the maids the bug bites all 5 of us had! Showed them the dirty sheets and moldy curtains and she said something in Spanish and never returned! Then others coming up to our swim up and leaving their empties and cigarette butts in cups….This is LUXURY?? A seven month old covered in bites and nobody cared! No mini bar filled not once in 8 days in either room! No towels! Oh and bring facecloths as they do not supply those either! We also had to help ourselves to the cart! No hot water, and they say to upgrade to Sun club for top luxury?! We tried everyday to book an a la carte..no luck!! The buffets were packed as not all restaurants were open! We booked a beach dinner for my daughters engagement which was 100% ruined as they had other people booked with one swirled light bulb and then still charged us after being told we didn’t show up…I then tried to help them out by booking photos on the beach, then get charged 400.00 for 20 photos after being told 150 for the rushed 5 minute session! This resort is as crooked as they come! Not only did we get eaten alive by bedbugs…we had mold all over our room! Curtains, sheets, walls, table, sofa bed. Now we are all back in Canada after a week of being sick, still sick and traumatized after this week of nothing but disappointment! I understand this resort is a lower class resort, but it is definitely no more than 2 star and that’s only because some staff were very kind and worked very hard. Mostly restaurant staff! This was a surprise engagement for my daughter and was completely ruined! We had 2 rooms. Both Sunclub as we were told to upgrade for added luxury…people from all buildings had the same treatment! 50.00 a day to rent cabanas all to get hounded by aggressive vendors! One vendor had a parrot, and we obviously want to support the locals and felt safe knowing a security guard was right there, he then tells us 50.00 per picture and connected something to my daughters phone, to which her bank account was immediately shut down coincidently for fraud, then confronts my son in law in front of security who is nonchalantly walking in a different direction..so I give him 50.00 to make him go away and the vendor went over and passed the security guard cash! We tip security to keep them away in apparently private zone…so the vendors can pay the security guard to go inside the ropes area…safety is NOT good at all! Offering cocaine and marjuana and getting more and more aggressive the more you say NO…Then The weekend came and locals came for the weekend…what a disgrace! Even our patio chairs were taken right off our deck! We didn’t sit on the sunclub loungers for our room once! Getting service with a smile was never! What exactly is the perks of upgrading?! Paper cups that literally melt in your hand. Spagetti Burgers and hotdogs seemed to be the only things available, unless the buffet was open. Room service had the same on the menus but never came once! We walked to the standard side (not sunclub) as they had a burger bus available. No other restaurants open. Sunclub had the same little dry sandwiches and sweets covered in flys. The cabana at Coco Cafe was falling apart and they were painting and the fumes were so strong your eyes watered! So that was shut down also. Their nightly dinner parties….15 US dollars each to enjoy. Ive never been to a resort that charges for their theme dinners..it’s normally just their buffet food anyways! The pools were all filthy! Rocks and leaves all throughout. We even had a burger bun float right by..this is just a few things I think were inexcusable. Air Canada on the other hand, fantastic! That was the only good portion. After reviewing endless poor reviews a couple weeks prior to our trip, something told me to try to change but it was too close to departure time unfortunately. But in hind sight, we had great weather and flew out the day the weather got bad. So Air Canada was fantastic! I am told this is their low season, so understaffed and not all restaurants will be open!! The sunclub is right beside dreams Flora which is under construction day and night! Between kids running wild in the swim ups all hours and construction…I felt like I was downtown NY City!

We had a great time! The room was very clean, the air conditioning worked great! The pool at sun club was so clean and warm! Zoraida was the best bartender ever! She did such a great job! We had an amazing time snorkeling as well right in front of the sun club pool. I loved that the pool and beach were so close! The grounds were kept very clean and I also had the best deep tissue massage at the spa! Great weather all week!

The resort rooms are fair but the workmanship in the reno is in need of a little TLC the grounds and beach are in very good shape and the pools seemed ok we try not to do pools. The restaurants lack of variety in selection for example for your toast in the morning no peanut butter and only strawberry jam if you have lactose or gluten free none to be found the staff are very nice I thought that this being an Hyatt resort would compare to the Riu or the Bahai but not close to it.

The resort was very well kept and beautiful. Beach was always cleared of seaweed and staff cleaned up all cups and dishes through out the day. Can't say nicer things about the stuff, always in great moods and very helpful. I do wish there was more a la carte's open but we understand it was off season when we went so not everything is always open. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this resort for anyone looking to have a great vacation.

Very good good location friendly staff the food could be a little better entertainment was okay would like to hear a little more reggae music but overhaul it was nice beautiful island my wife and I truly enjoyed it and would go again someday

Overall, our stay at Sunscape was a positive experience. Having upgraded to SunClub, we felt we had the best room at the resort - it was a corner room with a great ocean view, located on a 2nd floor with a fairly private balcony, and was close to everything. The hotel is, at best, a 3-star resort. Despite being a bit dated, the biggest drawbacks were the poor service and terrible food. With the exception of a couple of standout employees (Nathaly - head waitress/hostess), staff were often scowling and unfriendly. The SunClub staff made us feel as though we were an imposition, and were pretty unapproachable. Xienandrau, who was usually assigned to restocking our mini-bar, was great during the first 5 days; but his service was sporadic thereafter. The staff at the Italian restaurant were frequently rude and dismissive. The staff at Oceania were always friendly and attentive. Thanks to Nathaly, we had attentive service at the Grill and the Cafeteria (aka the Trough). The food quality was repetitive, unimaginative, uninspiring and disappointing. The alcoholic drinks were a bit of a joke for Sunclub guests. One had to order a double or triple shot in order to be served a standard 1.5 oz shot, which made one feel like a real lush!! Although the hotel appeared clean, and staff were visibly always cleaning the premises, we had cockroaches in our room. The air conditioning in our room only seemed to work at around 4:30 am. The rest of the time, our room was quite hot albeit cooler than outside. The coffee maker in our room was broken when we arrived. Despite reporting it twice to the concierge and bringing it to the attention of the cleaning staff, the coffee maker was never replaced or repaired. The gym was not air conditioned and the equipment was dated and not entirely functional. Equipment was limited to ancient weight machines and some quasi-functioning cardio units. For us, the highlights were the onsite scuba facility and the beautifully protected open-water swimming arrangement. The scuba operation and employees were truly excellent. As an avid swimmer, I enjoyed the experience of frequent swims inside the breakwater "reef". Overall, the Sunscape and Air Canada Vacations provided a mediocre experience, at best. However, we liked Curacao and plan to return. The next time (hopefully January 2026), we will avoid AC Vacations and hope to book a 4-6 week stay through either AirBNB or VRBO. We are happy to discuss our experience in person, and also welcome any advice on future longer term visits to Curacao!

I stayed at Sunscape Coco Punta Cana for 7 nights and unfortunately, this resort did not meet the standards expected from a Hyatt-affiliated property. We were “upgraded” to the Adults Only section, only to be told upon arrival that children are now allowed there — something not reflected on the website. Had I booked directly, I would have paid a premium for inaccurate information. We accepted the upgrade because of promised perks like a private pool and better proximity to amenities. Sadly, the experience quickly went downhill. The fire alarm in Building #1 went off multiple times every single day from Sunday to Thursday — often as early as 5 AM or late into the evening. Staff told us it was a false alarm caused by someone possibly vaping or smoking, but it continued for days with no resolution. This created not only constant disruption but a serious safety concern — what if there had been a real emergency? The air conditioning in our room barely worked, and the fixed shower head had very low pressure (luckily the handheld one was better). For a resort at this price point, these basic amenities should not be an issue. Many à la carte restaurants were closed (low season), yet no effort was made to adjust the dining experience. Even the disco required you to pay for drinks, and drinks from other bars weren’t allowed. Isn’t this supposed to be an “all-inclusive” resort? The buffet food was mediocre at best, aside from the fresh bread and egg station at breakfast. The beach, shown beautifully in photos online, was completely covered in seaweed and not being maintained. I understand this can be seasonal, but I also expect a resort to make an effort to keep it usable. There were some positives — the resort is visually stunning, the spa is excellent, and the coffee huts are a great touch. I also appreciated the kindness of a staff member from the medical team who gave helpful advice without pressuring us into a paid consultation. That said, I would not return to this resort — even if it were free. I overheard several other guests echoing similar frustrations, and it’s clear the quality has declined. This is not a 4-star resort; it barely earns 3 stars based on our experience. I am sharing this review because guests deserve better — especially when paying a premium for what should be a relaxing, seamless experience.

The hotel itself wasn't to bad itself, rooms were small but the restaurants were usually closed and not free. The bars were limited, one open often otherwise most were closed sometimes open for few hours during the evening/day. Service was great when you got it but normally only had 1 person working to serve bar and snacks. Not very child friendly 3 and below, food was mediocre, and the beach was very poorly taken care of.

Sunscape was a medium level resort (IMO) We have zero complaints, but it was basic. Check in - smooth! But - I had booked a double room, we got a king bed, but the room was great very spacious, clean and comfy (very basic, but hits the basics) so we didn't bother switching. Beach - beautiful, but yea some seaweed issues, got better as the week went on! Pools - nice, basic, a bit too busy for my preference Restaurants and booking them - Yes you have to get up at midnight and book your a la cartes for that day. Seems daunting but it wasn't that bad once I got help from concierge to set up my app. We loved both meals at chopsticks, loved Tiera, and the one on the beach was ok Quite enjoyed the Mexican and Italian buffets. Regular buffet was good for breakfast. We absolutely loved the pizza place on the beach, as well as the window at the flip flops bar. The cafes make amazing cappuccino- but always busy, always a line up even at 6 am I couldn't believe it! This may be my only complaint...lack of staffing, making the service just meh.

Same food choices day after day Very poor room soundproofing People partying 'till 2-3am and nobody stops them In adult only beach area very limited shade because half of the area is taken by Bali beds for which you must pay

We really enjoyed our week at the sunscape with our grandaughter beautiful pool lovely grounds great a La cartes wonderful staff here’s a few I remember Omar and Richardo at the swim up bar made my grandaughter awesome virgin mudslides and many other drinks Ivan at the Italian restaurant was amazing Gladis ,veriniece, and Catalina and the omelette girl who spoke wonderful English I forgot her name were all amazing and of course our wonderful lady Cinthia who did an amazing job in our room everyday thank you to all of u hard working people . That being said I do have a bone to pick with the hotel policy of not giving u access to the food or drinks before 1:30 in the afternoon I find that extremely disappointing when u arrive early to the hotel u have to sit around and wait till 1:30 to get a bracelet so u can get something to eat or drink that’s ridiculous I’ve been to many countries on vacation and have never experienced that before I understand waiting for ur room till 3:00 but come on not the food and drink issue hopefully they change that I seen many people walking around fully clothed in that heat waiting until 130 for a drink I felt bad for them anyways I would recommend going if u arrive at the hotel after 1:30 or else I would never go back there so many other wonderful resorts to discover hope this helps anyone wanting to go here nice to be fore warned great if u are going with small kids otherwise do adults only resorts lots of kids here

Nice place. The staff is amazing. Check in and out was seamless. Food is good with lots of variety. Close to the city. Safe to go on your open. Entertainment is good but off you like to party, explore neighbouring resorts and the West side.

All and all ok. Food was good. Could definitely have been cleaner. Too many people for amount of facilities (pools packed, no chairs at the beach or at the pool). Very busy place. Entertainment was 50/50 I guess usual karaoke resort stuff.

Just returned from a very pleasant stay .The hotel grounds are beautiful and every thing is very clean The food was good plenty of choices We loved the cafe for our morning cappuccino.The beach was very nice although the only negative was there were not enough loungers and unfortunately to have one you had to get up very early to reserve.I believe the pool situation was similar but I didn’t use the pool on our stay. The staff were very friendly and worked very hard .The beds and pillows were excellent the best I have ever had in an all inclusive I would certainly return and recommend this resort I have read some very negative reviews but we did not encounter any problems We stayed in building 5 and was close to everything we needed.

We found the Check in and Check out process unnecessarily slow. Loved the room, beach, bar staff. The restaurants seemed very disorganized. Tables seemed to be cleared and reset at random with no one specifically responsible for any particular tasks. Coming from a hospitality back ground, I found this very confusing. It would not take much to take this hotel from just good to amazing. The restaurants and  bars were also constantly running out of glasses, cups & saucers. At breakfast the Self-service coffee station almost never had cups at Kaleidescope. The bars were also running out of properly glasses ..... one evening at the Adults only bar, we were given scotch in paper cups !! To a scotch drinker, that is blasphemy!! Our maid Claudia was amazing !!! Our room and the entire resort was kept very clean and tidy. We also loved the beach and beach staff. The Adults only section was also amazing. The food was very average, with everything tasting much the same, but we did not come for the food. The omlettes at breakfast at Kaleidescope was the best meal of thd day ! Very tasty!! Overall, we very much enjoyed our vacation at Sunscape Coco and look forward to coming back again.

While most staff were great. Some were rude. While the property lacked staff, it was kept in clean standings. The property offers a few dining experiences, but in 11 days there we were not able to book a fine dining evening. The booking process is ridiculous for vacationers. There's not enough chairs or umbrellas pool or ocean side. Having to get up at 5am, isn't right. Hard to relax and unwind worrying about your stuff, chairs and dining. Bar staff are great, although they were unstaffed as well. And often weren't ready to serve drinks at opening time. Entertainment could be improved upon. While we made the best of our vacation, I wouldn't recommend

This is a huge resort. Many options for food and drinks. I unfortunately got sick and spent my vacation in the Bávaro hospital, so I can’t really give an honest review of the place. Would I return? Probably

Food and drinks-I would give it a solid 3* and no more. Good variety but food was only warm at the buffet unless it was made at the custom stations or you caught a new batch being put out. At the sit down restaurants it was better but it was VERY hard to get a reservation. You advertise unlimited a la carte dinners but you don't fulfill that. Its all done on the app on your phone so better bring a tech-savy person with you and lots of patience. The buffet takes forever to get a table. (like 20 minutes standing in line) I don't know why. One attendant would issue hand sanitizer, another would usher you to the door, (10 feet) another attendant would walkie-talkie to someone else in the diningroom for a table with # of guests, and yet another would usher you or wave you over to the table. Many days in the week we were there, they ran out of coffee at breakfast. SUGGESTION.... let guests find their own table and put all those attendants to work clearing and re-setting the tables. That would speed the process up. Some a-la-carte reservations are being booked and guests are not showing up. We ate in the Japanese restaurant and there is only 14x2 seats. We were the only 4 at our hibachi. Perhaps 10-15 minutes after the reservation time, you could allow another guests to fill in, and block the no-shows on the app. There isn't enough room in the restaurants for this to continue. With over 1000 rooms and 2 guests per room, thats 2000guests/meal. Thats a lot going to the buffet! SUGGESTION.... allow guests to show up, first come first serve at these restaurants. or use the red light vibrating puck system used at the Tierra restaurant. The bar drinks were made differently by different bartenders. No consistency and no measuring of alcohol/drink. Some were weak and some were almost undrinkable. Some of the bartenders would avoid serving you if you didn't tip them. They would serve everyone else and leave you til last. TIPS are for over and above service, not every time, even in the SunClub. I did tip but not every drink every day. Bartenders should have a basic knowledge in english of types/names of alcohol, little/more(quantity), mixed/blended, what the available mixes are. The slushy drinks need to be frozen, not just cold juice rolling around in the machine. Maybe mix in the blender with ice until its frozen, like early in the day. SUGGESTION.... turn the beer taps around, at all bars, so that the guests can pour their own beer, we already have our own cups! There is only one brand of beer, Presidentè. This would free up the bartenders time (although they could still keep an eye on guests getting beer) so getting mixed drinks wouldn't take so long. They move so slowly. We are the ones on vacation, not them. And have enough alcohol for all bars for ALL DAY. Everyday ALL bars ran out of alcohol about 4PM. You advertise unlimited drinks, but you couldn't fulfil that, and I'm NOT a heavy drinker. We booked in advance and paid too, so you knew we were coming! I understand this can sometimes happen, because you don't know what people will drink, but not EVERYDAY/EVERY BAR. We were there Mar 24-31/25. Not even peak season and judging by what we seen, (empty rooms). They were not at full capacity, so no excuse. Pools were pretty clean and warm. Lounge chairs/umberellas/palapas were hard to get. Had to put your towels on at about 5:30-6AM to get a couple loungers togther . Not enough chairs for the number of rooms/guests. You may want to give wrist bands to guests. Different colour for regular vs SunClub. This would define who is SunClub and who isn't. Why pay more if you don't have to. Seems to be a theme at this resort, running out of everything daily. Even drinking water at the bars. And the mini bar in the room is NOT restocked daily. We had to ask for more bottled water, beer and towels.

I wish I could say it was amazing, but unfortunately it was disappointing Punta Cana is not the same anymore its charm is lost it is crowded , the locals do not look happy like before, everything is so expensive talking about the hotel , it is huge , it lacks stuff, the buffet restaurants are always full, there is a line up to get in starting for breakfast. I used to help myself for everything, cleaning the table, finding cutlery and napkin, forget getting coffee from a waiter, if you find a cup you get it yourself from the counter. food, oh God .... the same thing every day... every day.. try to get a spot in the A La cart restaurants, you have to reserve it yourself on your phone if the internet works in your room you will get a message saying "sorry , try again , the place is full" getting a chair near the pool ... is a joke, I had to wake up at 7 in the morning to reserve a chair by putting my towels on them. the room was big in building 2 , had a problem with the toilet flush which did not work, the internet did not work , but the towels were very clean and also the bed sheets. for a hotel that big , the pool is very small As for the hotel stuff I have to say they are sad looking .... nobody smiles nobody says hello, weird if you want a decent coffee, you will be disappointed, forget the coffee shop near the lobby will I return to this hotel? NO

Sunscape Cozumel is a 3 star resort and not a 4 star as advertised. There was one pool and 2 options for meals. There was a very limited number of dishes at the buffet. We had a number of issues with our room including a balcony door that did not lock and a door that that did not seal shut. The entry mecanism was quite tempermental. There was a lack of towels in the room. We had to repeatedly ask for hand towels and facecloths. We had to repeatedly ask for soap at the bathroom sink. There was body lotion but no soap, which meant the need to go into the shower to get bodywash every time we needed to wash our hands.

We did have a great vacation overall but there were both pros and cons with this resort. Beach was incredible and we really enjoyed our room on the 1st floor. And the evening bars were pretty good. That said, I was not impressed with the staff overall (mostly at the buffet and restaurants) and I didn't find the food to be the greatest.

My wife and I picked this resort very very last minute just based on pictures alone. when we arrived the pictures did absolutely no justice. Sunscape Coco was absolutely stunning ,this resort was our absolute favourite that we’ve ever been to , and will return on our next visit to Dominican. The only thing I would change is I would book a room that has immediate access to one of the Beautiful pools instead of being on the family side( long walk from family side to the best parts of the resort).The service is absolutely phenomenal and there was such a good variety of food! Thank you Kaylee anthropocentric for this amazing vacation

In 50 years of travel, this was the worst experience to date. We arrived late at night and after a lengthy check in we're left to find our room in the dark by ourselves. The room was dark, smelly, small, dirty and in poor repair with an ac unit that sounded like a 727 landing in the room. I pulled back the bed cover to reveal dead insects and skin debris off someone's nasty feet. We requested a room change and were offered for just $500. USD an upgrade to include use of 3 resorts along with a high pitched sale to join the Unlimitied Vacation Club. We declined and were given a new room that was acceptable. There are 2 restaurants, Italian and Asian with limited choices in each. I was unwell and missed a day of my stay as I was in bed. This was a first for me to get sick while traveling but the food is that bad. You have to save a chairs on the beach by 6-7 am and this does not ensure they will not be occupied when you arrive foe your time on the beach. We had people just take over our chairs and towels and refuse to return them to us. The only positive was the staff, they work hard to really try to please and are working with limited resources . Do yourself a favor and don't pick this resort. I read the bad reviews and thought how bad can it be? Well it was bad!

Rooms rundown. TVs not working in the entire resort all week. Hot water slow to come out. Food not good no taste overcooked few choices. Only 2 resturants lineups at peak dining hours. The Secrets and Dream hotel guests could come over and use our one pool take our chairs and eat in the 2 small restaurants and we could not use their amenities. Staff wanted us to move to Dreams for 300 US dollars and kept asking us daily to sign up for preferred membership. From what we saw it didn't really look much better at the Dreams and Secret hotels. Our pool was family friendly and the beach was nice. Only one bar and alcohol was watered down not tastey . When you are on holidays you hope for good food and drinks not at this resort. I am not a picky person. If you don't mind overcooked greasy food not Mexican then this is the place. If you wanted a beach chair you had to get up at 7am to put your towels down. One morning our towel and chairs were taken while we were at breakfast. Every man for himself. I would not go to this resort even if it was offered for free. I have travelled to many all inclusive resorts and this was the worst. Nothing to do in the evening only one show all week.

This resort is located not far from the airport. I would recommend this resort but the issue with the smell in the rooms need to be addressed. We first had a stale smell which was overpowered by a sewer smell. Once we turned off the AC it wasn’t as prominent (or we became use to it). Overall it’s a nice resort with lots of options for children— water slides, playground and water park area. Lots of pools to swim in and hardly any seaweed on the beach. The beach was cleaned by staff every morning. The loungers with shade was an issue if you aren’t a morning person. For those of us who are, obtaining loungers and shade wasn’t an issue unless you had someone who felt they were more entitled and took your lounger. To those who reserve the loungers but decided not to use them, shame on you! There were too many people sitting out in the full sun, sometimes on towels. Come remove your towel! Let someone else use it. Food was good. No shortage of food or drink. Didn’t have long waits for restaurants. Staff were friendly and helpful. Grounds were kept clean and well groomed. Entertainment every night Lots of vendors on the beach. They are trying to make a living. If you’re not interested politely let them know. We were nervous about going because of the bad reviews. It wasn’t as bad as we thought. We enjoyed the beach, sun and family time. Exactly what we went to do!

We really enjoyed this resort. I would definitely recommend upgrade to Sun Club, worth the benefits of updated room, check in and Sun club buffet. We ate at at resturants for dinner. If you go at 5:30 to get in line you get first seating at 6 pm and no longer waits. The beach was nice but did lack lounge chairs. All of the staff were wonderful and very helpful. Don't worry about bad reviews this hotel exceeded our expectations. The food was really good and so was room service. We did not get sick and ate everything. This is a solid 4 star resort. The shows at night were done very well.

This may very well be my 20th, maybe more, All-Inclusive Resort I have been to... by far the worst (dollar for dollar). Even Lower End Cayo Coco, Cuba trips, which costs, a third of this "Hyatt" are better, All Around. I've learned my lesson, and - unfortunately - Dominican Republic has left a sour taste in my mouth.

Hotel is very tired, desperate for a renovation. Not enough beach chairs or pool chairs. Need to hire more waitstaff. They changed to a "no reservations required" model for the a la carte restaurants, but they don't know how to do this without causing long lines. Updated amenities are shampoo, bath gel and a bar of soap. Beach is great, but the adult pool needs to be re-tiled as most of the 1 inch tiles are missing.

Not what we expected. It rained during our holiday no umbrella in our room. It took me three days of going to the front desk and was told they had no umbrellas left, not acceptable..I upgraded to the sun club but did not see any value for my money.

We had a lovely week but went in with some reservations after reading some of the group comments . I booked this resort because i had great experiences with the Sunscape Akumal in Mexico. 3 stays there so I thought I knew what to expect The resort itself is much larger than I expected but well laid out and the grounds are very nice . We booked a swim up sun club adults only room. (room 1102)The room was fine except that the swim up was in the shade pretty much all day. The room was cleaned daily, the mini fridge stocked and clean towels left daily. Only complaint/observation about the room is the layout. There is basically no privacy as the bathroom is pretty much open concept. If you are sharing with anyone other than your signifcant other you may find it a bit uncomfortable as the is only frosted glass to offer privacy. everything worked fine so no real complaints there . The beach is good. Very sandy/no rocks in the water but not the crystal clear water you look forward to but again not a huge deal. Loungers are a huge challenge on this resort so we found Elvin at the towel hut and booked a Bali bed for the 6 days we were there. Worth every penny to not have to be up in the middle of the night to claim a spot. Towels were laid out for us ,pillows supplied and drinks were served throughout the day !! It was lovely !! As to food and drinks here's where I was disappointed . The food was mediocher at best. Yes there was lots to choose from but it was so inconsistent! Hot food wasn't hot, food was either over cooked or undercooked . Foods that were prepared ahead of time were left to sit far too long before being replaced. Learned very quickly to have them cook to order at the grill at the buffet. The a la carte restaurants were very under staffed ,so often there were long waits to be served but we did enjoy the Bluewater grill and the Tierra where we had dinner twice. The house wine wasn't bad but the quality of the cocktails was disappointing as they used lesser quality alcohol, even in Sun Club. The margarita I had the first evening was not good . Baileys was always unavailable as they would say they just ran out so I stuck with white wine for the most part. All in all we had a great week ,weather was fantastic and the staff here try their best with what they have. Think of this as more of a 3.5 star and go with lower expectations and you will be fine . Relax and enjoy the warm weather !!

The resort was very nice. Clean, rooms were lovely (apart from the weird open concept bathrooms). Resort staff were wonderful and accommodating. The biggest downside was the food. Absolutely abysmal. Undercooked, overcooked, pasty, frequently mislabeled. This part was really a turnoff. The beach was fine, not the best not the worst.

We just arrived back from a week stay at Sunscape Dorado. We upgraded to Sunclub, which I recommend, and had a king bed ocean view room. Our room was clean, spacious and had an amazing view. Staff are fantastic at this resort - very friendly and hard working. Food was good, we were always able to find something suitable for us and our tween child. Loved the restaurant near the swim up bar and the Sun Club restaurant for lunch. We didn’t try the Italian restaurant, as it was adults only, but wished for another option, as sometimes the only other dinner option was the buffet/Mexican. Lounger saving is a problem - people would put towels on them really early and then not use them for hours later (or not at all). I think if they are empty for an hour, staff should remove them. We did the snorkeling excursion to Ixtapa Island, which was wonderful. We loved seeing the variety of fish in the coral reef. You can swim in front of the resort, but you have to time it pretty carefully, so you don’t get knocked out by the large waves. My husband and I both learned our lesson on that the first day! Overall I recommend this resort and I would return to it one day.
