Good stay!

Sunscape itself was gorgeous! The pool(s) are amazing and always kept very clean! The bars were always stocked and drinks were delicious! Food was sub par though along - I didn't have a single meal there that I would say was great! The mais service was also very unreliable!

Amazing resort

U forgatabke trip. We enjoyed our stay from day one! Very professional staff that worked very hard to insure all guests were treated great. Very delicious food, always new and fresh verities of fruits and vegetables. Clean rooms with attention to details .New Year’s Eve party was spectacular. We are going back to the resort next year for sure. One thing we didn’t like was the pressure to participate in a meeting relating to timeshare type of a club. Otherwise, it was a prefect place and more [... lire plus] than lively vacation.

Beautiful resort, terrible food

The grounds were beautiful and very well kept! The room was very clean, air conditioning was great, some activities happening - a little bored. Quite a few people not from the resort were there trying to sell items, very pushy. The food was unfortunately terrible, we had a very hard time finding food we could trust to eat. Beach also wasn’t the best, very smelly and loud construction happening in the water 24/7 with no notice, even all through the night.

Disorganized resort!

Hotel buildings are ok and good location. However if you are foodie person please don't go there, because you will be very very very disappointed. I am not saying much but there is not way I would go to Sunscape Bavaro in Punta Cana. However they have some of amazing people.

Great Resort

Clean rooms, comfy bed and very polite staff. Ground immaculately kept. Buffet restaurants excellent. However, the a la carte restaurants were randomly closed and even though you got a sheet in the morning stating which ones were open, that was not the case. Service in the French restaurant was pitiful - we walked out before dessert because we had already been there for almost 2 hours. On various nights, there were local vendors with tables set up throughout the resort. There should ha [... lire plus]ve been a centralized area with these vendors so that if you wanted to look at their souvenirs you could. They would accost you every time you walked by one of them. Beach was very short and had a lot of erosion. One half could not be accessed from your chair because it was sand bagged and had huge rocks. Even though it there was a programmable thermostat in the room, it didn’t appear that we had any control. It said it could be set to 16 but got no where close. The resort itself was beautiful but we wouldn’t recommend it because of the lack of a decent beach and random closure of the a la carte restaurants.

DISAPPOINTING!!

PROS. Very nice rooms, well kept beautiful grounds, rooms and resort kept very clean. CONS. Beach is NOT as pictured, has large breaker bags in water as to prevent erosion, however they were smelly and not pretty to look at if you had ocean view room!! Water was murky looking, not nice to go in. Pools were dirty and had many screaming kids. Grrr! FOOD was aweful!!! Same thing everyday and several restaurants closed for several days at a time! WTHeck! Towels were almost extinct everyday [... lire plus] even in Sun Club. SUN CLUB, well it was probably worth the extra $$ however they were always running out of premium liquor. The club pool was quite nice. They never told us about Club amenities when we arrived and put us in a room farthest from the Sun Club pool & lounge....took us a couple days to find that out. TIMESHARE GURUS.... they say its not time share but they are relentless! Spoils part of your vacation. It was one thing after another with this resort. I would not return nor recommend!

Clean resort

The resort as a whole was nice. Very confusing to find your way around though. Not much of a beach, all washed away. The staff worked hard to remove the seaweed daily. Power went out daily. Spa coupons were NEVER available. Food was decent but bland. Rooms were always cleaned and resort was tidy. The entertainment was blah. Half of the staff were not very friendly. The other half great. Room fan kept breaking. Room service VERY slow. A La Cart restaurants were not all open, just a few were avail [... lire plus]able.

Pleasant

The resort overall was great! The rooms were nice however problem with the sliding door to the balcony (easily locks when closed). The beach was not as portrayed in the pictures. Seaweed was everywhere. A huge rock/shoal was in front of the resort. The staff were very friendly. Entertainment in the lobby was crowded, not much room to sit. Atmosphere was good. We made the best out of our vacation and met some great people.

Beautiful Resort

The resort was beautiful however the beach was full of seaweed. The pictures of the beach prior to the trip did not capture the truth. I was very disappointed with this however the rest of the resort was amazing!

Great time!

Everything was good at this resort! Only thing we didn’t like was all the seaweed at the beach & in the ocean. We aren’t sure if it was the time of year or if it’s always like it, but we made the best of it & still swam in it.

Fun stay at Sunscape Bavaro Beach

Just came back from a nice family vacation In Punta Cana. Upon arriving we upgraded to sun club. It was around 380 for 10 days. The first few days we didn't think it was worth the upgrade but by the end of the trip we did think it was worth it. The room was very fresh and clean with a nice double shower. Only negative was that the floor got super slippery when wet. The room overlooked the pool, which was fun for the kids. Sun club also had its own lobby, bar and place to eat, the breakfast w [... lire plus]as nicer than the main buffet and you got better service and drinks there as well. Everyone who worked there were super friendly! Especially a guy named Nathan who made sure everyone was taken care of. He was always there to help us with various things and made sure our stay was as good as possible. The pool was also very nice although it was a bit annoying that anyone could go there since there was no way of knowing if they were part of sun club or not. The grounds of the hotel where very beautiful and there were several pools and places to eat to choose from. Our favorite pools were the relaxed pool and the sun club pool and our favorite restaurants were chopsticks and Sunny side grill. The pizza place was also great for the kids. I also want to mention that the beach is not very pretty. The drinks at the resort were nice, but their orange juice was disgusting and we had a hard time finding milk for the kids. One time we got it from a nice bartender at Flip Flops and another from the cafe. But it was a milk hunt every other day haha. And it tasted strange.... I also tried the spa which was excellent! Overall the resort was great with lots to do and fun for kids. The negative are those annoying vacation club people who try to trick you into having a welcome breakfast when you get there. Trying to make you feel guilty that they would not get any points from their boss or whatever if you don't go and saying that the whole thing is only to celebrate the hotels whatever Birthday. Another negative experience we had was the guy who works for Amstar who convinced us to take an excursion called Marinarium. He said it was great for kids and also the only excursion they recommend to pregnant women. Well we had one 4 year old and one 22 month old with us while booking this trip. We thought it would be fun to see some fish, stingrays etc. I had a naiv idea in my head that it would be snorkeling in calm clear waters with colorful fish. The excursion was basically a party boat. The snorkeling area was in rough water where we had to be dragged out in the middle of the ocean to a closed up pen area while holding one kid in one arm and the life ring in the other. Luckily the kids had their puddle jumpers on. We were only given some floating yellow belt that you strapped around your waist. Even my husband felt unsafe during this swim in the ocean. The kids cried and we had to swim back to the boat. When we left the party boat continued with blasting music. Also the net around the deck on the boat had large holes in it so you had to hold on to your kids as much as possible, they could easily fall off the boat. I got so angry with the idiot who said that this was a very suitable excursion for us. I should have done more research myself but stupidly enough we trusted that guy. Even our west jet rep later said that the marinarium is definitely not good for small children. I am still so angry with that guy, sooooooo angry! Avoid Marinarium if you have young children, especially if they can't swim and avoid it if you yourself are not a comfortable swimmer.

Great resort

The resort overall was great. A few things that I wasnt happy. The music from the theater played too late as we usually had busy tiring days. The waiters at the buffet sometimes didn't ask us if we wanted a drink and took a very long time. The conceirage was not very knowledgable.

Lovely, clean resortThe resort

The resort was very clean. They even spent all day raking up the beach. The rooms were very nice. The food was fine. The service in the a la carte restaurants was very slow and the staff on the front desk weren't very friendly or helpful.

Amazing resort

It was perfect. We would not have changed a thing. Great food, great service, friendly staff. The grounds were meticulous. Loved not wearing a bracelet and unlimited a la carte. Our ocean view room was fabulous!!

Beautiful Resort

The grounds were beautiful. The room was excellent! The people were very friendly! The beach was awesome! We really enjoyed the Chopsticks restaurant! The buffets were awesome! The bar on the beach ..... large donkey and small donkey were hilarious! The hostess who was serving us drinks on the beach was amazing! It’s nice to have the geotubes there to allow us to go in the water without the waves being too much!

Terrific experience

Resort was clean, rooms were clean, showers were awesome. Staff were very helpful, restaurants were very good, good variety of food for lunch and breakfast. Evening entertainment was good Our first all inclusive experience and we were very pleased

Fabulous vacation

Just home from a fantastic vacation with four families, 17 in total. The resort was beautiful, grounds were well maintained. Food was excellent, a la carte Restraunts were all great. Buffets all had lots of choices. Beach was OK, geotubes in the water to help with erosion were not the prettiest site. And lots of seaweed but resort had people raking the beach all day long to keep the seaweed to a minimum. Entertainment staff was non stop, activities at both the beach and poolside areas. They [... lire plus] put on a huge Easter party for everyone. It was amazing. My only issue with the resort was we had requested adjoining rooms because we are a family of 5, we didn’t get the adjoining room, had rooms on opposite ends of the hallway. So we had to separate and each stay with the kids in separate rooms. Overall it was an amazing vacation.

Wonderful vacation

Had a great vacation at this resort. We travelled with 4 families. Kids ages ranged from 12 -17 yrs. the resort always had activities going on for the teenagers. They all had so much fun. The staff were all so kind and helpful. The entertainment staff were great and a lot of fun. The food was really good and plentiful. The resort was immaculate and staff were constantly cleaning. Would highly recommend this resort for families

Fantastic stay

Resort was fantastic. Staff were great and very helpful and friendly. Food was good. Lots for the kids to do. Activities going on all day long at the beach and the pool. Lots of great entertainment. Very clean and well kept.

Good resort

The hotel staff are amazing nothing was to big for them to help! I didn’t like the Barrier on the beach but understand why they are there. I’m a little upset as soon as we got there we were approached to buy into a travel plan which took up so much time we did by it so if anyone else got it let me know how it is.have been at nicer resorts but the staff is the best I’ve ever felt with
