Sunscape Beach, Punta Cana DR - Dec 2004 - Resorts, Ranches, Lodges & Spas in Dominican Republic pictures on Worldisround

Sunscape Beach, Punta Cana DR - Dec 2004

This is a new hotel. It had been open only about a week and a half at the time these photos were taken. There are still some "growing pains" but most things seemed to be in order. There appeared to be a lot of construction going on, but it's segregated from where the registered guests were. We were not staying at the hotel, but invited ourselves in for a walkaround and a photo shoot. We adopted the "leave nothing but footprints; take nothing but photos" mode. This property appears to be a suitable candidate for future trips, once the construction and new hotel 'hiccups' are history. The facilities all appeared to be first class.

Dell boy,

What the Dell are you doing in Russia? See you in the week of February 14th... we should make a commitment to meet ourselves and laugh at loud at it. Give me an incentive or a lieu de rencontre and we will see from there!!??

And if we don't meet, we can imagine it ... !

Have yourself a great holiday! Wish you sun and beauty all around you!

The best is yet to come!!!

Bob, thanks for the photo's they are excellent. i am going on 10th Feb so it was nice to see a bit more of the resort. We were quite worried as we have seen a variety of comments from holidaymakers on the web so it has put my mind at ease.
— Shelagh Cubitt, February 7, 2005

Hi Delboy,

I will be leaving on February 14th as well for 1 week. Can't wait to take a break! Hopefully the weather and the facilities will be awesome. I am in grand need to pamper myself Big Time. Thank you Bob for posting those pictures. There are not a lot over the web. Keep up the great work.
— Kat7, February 5, 2005

Thanks for the pictures. We will be traveling there on 2/14 and saw very few pictures on the internet for it.
— Al Mauch, February 4, 2005

Great pics-difficult to find pics of a new resort. We're headed there 2/28 & really looking forward to it. Did the Barcelo Palace last year so will be interesting to see how they compare. Any room suggestions? Thanks.
— Thomas Potvin, January 30, 2005

Cheers Bob
Thanks for posting the pics Bob. Not many on the net, so good to see. Off there on 14th Feb for 2 weeks. Anyone else there then?
— Delboy, January 29, 2005

Thank you for taking the time to post these great pictures - I will be taking my first trip ever and was a bit worried - but not now. Glad this is the place my daughters booked me for my dream winter vacation.
— Holly, January 24, 2005

Hi Bob, Thanks for the pictures! We are headed down for a week in March. We are looking forward to a relaxing week of sun and fun!
— Danny, January 18, 2005

Windy? not really!
I'm not sure which photo (or photos) made you think it was windy. There's lots of ocean between the hotel and the next land, and there is usually a nice refeshing breeze. The wind was about 10 knots (12 mph) when the photos were taken. If you are referring to the white water in the beach pictures, that's the waves breaking over the reef. And, by my definitions, the water is quite warm.
— robert dungan, January 13, 2005

never been to carrabean!!
I have nevr been to the carrabean and found a good price on this resort. Is it very windy? as telling from the photos it looks very windy. And is the sea/ocean warm?
— natalie Ford, January 12, 2005

Where it's At
It's well up the coast at Uvero Alto. If you can find Secrets or Sirenis on a map, then it's just down the beach. And yes, it's about an hours drive from the airport. see http://www.dominicanimpressions.com/maps/1/img6.htm
— robert dungan, January 8, 2005

Thanks for the pictures!!!
The place looks great. I too was nervous about the resort after reading so many negative stories...going the end of Feb. I am sure we will have a great time....
