Budget Friendly Resort With 13 Dining Options! • Sunscape Dominicus La Romana, DR! 2023

[@laerciocfh]

Thanks for sharing. One of the best videos reviewing resorts that I've ever seen! Honest, direct and human (not an AI describing the hotel). Thank you.

[@ChristineTurner]

Hi Laercio! Thanks for the feedback! I made the mistake of using AI in one of my videos last year and it made the whole theme of the video seem fake and untrustworthy. Thanks for watching!

Hi Christine! I’ve just randomly came across this! I’ve just booked for next year !!!

[@ChristineTurner]

Hi Pauline! Oh wow!! What a coincidence. I hope you have a great time!

[@paulinecampbell9023]

@@ChristineTurner it looks lovely!! We have been to punta Cana , but the water is so choppy I like the look of this side

[@ChristineTurner]

@@paulinecampbell9023 always nice to explore a new area!

[@jgates594]

These resorts are part of Hyatt. Hyatt Inclusive Resorts. The one in Punta Cana/ Cabeza De Toro should be opening soon if it hasn't already. Thanks for the additional info.

[@ChristineTurner]

Hi JGates! Yes both Sunscape Coco and Sunscape Dominicus are now open. They used to be part of AM Resorts but All Inclusive by Hyatt took over. Thanks for watching!

[@AnaCristinaDeLaCruzCreales]

Thank you so much for sharing!

[@fernando44281]

Hello! I'm trying to decide between the resorts on Dominicus Beach, and now I can book Sunscape too. Compared to other resorts like Dreams, Ibero or Catalonia, do you think Sunscape will be better? Tkx!

[@ChristineTurner]

Hi Fernando! Dreams is part of the same chain but is slightly better calibre than sunscape. Catalonia and Iberostar are nice but I wouldn’t put them on the same level as Sunscape. Little differences in inclusions go a long way toward getting better value for money with sunscape. Hope that helps!

[@fernando44281]

@@ChristineTurner tks a Lot! A question more, as dreams and Sunscape are from the same Company, do you know If its possible to use the commum área from both? I mean, usually we can use restaurants, pools etc from other resorts of the chain. The price os Very atractive for Sunscape but im worry about the front Beach

[@ronmiler5102]

Dreams Dominicus is way better.

[@Admila_]

Hi,we are looking to book this hotel,but it's not easy to find more picture online. Are all the restaurants open? Because sometimes when the hotel is newly open only partial restaurants could be open....And is all included in all inklusive? Thx

[@ChristineTurner]

Hi Admila!They will schedule an official photo shoot once the resort has been open for a few months and all decor and furnishings are in place. Little things like a wee flower on the restaurant table - those type of things are the last to get done and often are done after the place is officially open. The camera crew will come in and take over specific places and will remove the windows from the rooms to make them look more airy. I've never understood why they do this but it is what it is. The restaurants will rotate until they are at full capacity. Usually, the resorts start out as low as 20% during the opening week and build up each week from there. It's really smart, as it gives the staff a hands-on opportunity to re-affirm the procedures they've learned in training. Once they are up to full capacity (typically within the first 2-3 months tops), they will have all restaurants open, but again, this will fluctuate during low season. No sense having 13 restaurants open if the place is half full - WAY too much food wasted! All dining options are included except the UnWined Cellar - that is an extention of the Italian restaurant and is a private dining option, so there's an upcharge to dine in there. Thanks for watching!

[@manuelsanchezlopez2431]

Do you have confirmation it will open tomorrow? I have heard confussed information about a delay and they have removed the Opening date from their English website

[@ChristineTurner]

Hi Manuel! I haven't seen anything to the contrary, nor have I received any notifications of a delay. They're very good at sending out notice if a resort is delayed, and I just tried to book a room for tomorrow and it shows as available, so I'm sure everything will open on time!

[@Siluroman82]

Hellow, Please, do you know the number of telephone of the recepción to the hotel? Thanks.

[@ChristineTurner]

@@Siluroman82 I only see this email address - [e-mail] Alternatively, you could try their North American number and maybe they can give you a contact number - 1.866.786.7227

[@anarchyalacarte9067]

They are open. I just checked in yesterday.

[@carolinacosta4819]

Can you confirm if in the sunscape dominicus la romana, there is a swiming pool for kids? You've saída there's only two, and ONE of them is restricted?! Also can you confirm, besides the kids club is there any childrens playground? And by the way, whats the sun club? Do we need to pay extra? Or is it some kind of package?

[@ChristineTurner]

Hi Carolina! Yes the main pool is for everyone and then there's the Sun Club pool, which is only for guests staying in those upgraded rooms. This is a privileged section, with special amenities, better views, and a private lounge, as well as access to that private pool area. If you book a Sun Club category room, you and all other guests in your room have access to all of this; otherwise, you have access to the main areas with all other guests.

[@carolinacosta4819]

@@ChristineTurner thanks for your answer! And is there any pool / slides in or out of the pool dedicated for kids? Or any playground on the resort?

[@ChristineTurner]

@@carolinacosta4819 No there's just the two pools, but here's the info on the Kids Club & other play areas for them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoTddYmelJxljJYsi=v8EcQhJnntNTcLxc&t=285

[@omarg7702]

Is the sunscape la romana or sunscape coco better?

[@ChristineTurner]

Each resort is very different - just depends what you're looking for. Thanks for watching!

[@francoismarcil9242]

Hows the beach ? Rocks ? In the water etc

[@ChristineTurner]

Hi Francois! The beach is nice but water shoes are recommended because there are rocks and shells. Thanks for watching!

[@anarchyalacarte9067]

Sunscape Coco is in Cabeza de Toro...it's not in Bavaro per se. I saw it last week.

[@ChristineTurner]

Hi Anarchyalacarte! What did you think of the resort? The beach looks lovely there.

[@911247666]

Is there a fridge and safe in the room for regular guests

[@ChristineTurner]

Yes absolutely! Every guest room has an electronic safe and a mini fridge which is stocked up once per stay.

[@Rebecca-jr8zy]

Did you say no wrist bands ??? If so how do they know if your a club member or not ??

[@ChristineTurner]

Hi Rebecca! They usually will ask for your room number and have a list of everyone who is SunClub. Better than a wristband any day!!

[@Rebecca-jr8zy]

@@ChristineTurner ok thank you I have never been to a resort before.. trying to figure something out before I go to hopefully make it easier

[@ChristineTurner]

@@Rebecca-jr8zy I would recommend upgrading before you go. When we went to the sunscape in Curaçao several years ago, I asked about upgrading at checkin and they were sold out. Made it tougher to find pool chairs each day as all the regular ones were taken by dawn!!

[@paulagreat7801]

Are all the restaurants open

[@anarchyalacarte9067]

No. Not all are open.

[@ChristineTurner]

Hi Paula - most new resorts start out slowly, giving the staff a chance to get up to speed on the menus and service. I suspect they will have everything open soon though! Thanks for watching!

[@ChristineTurner]

Hi Anarchyalacarte! As I mentioned to Paula - most resorts do a 'soft opening', so they don't overwhelm the staff with a full resort and all restaurants at full capacity. They'll often start out with limited rooms available and slowly build up the occupancy levels at the resort, along with the other restaurants. Thanks for watching!

[@havekids.willtravel.]

What are the options for free restaurants?

[@ChristineTurner]

Hi HaveKidsWillTravel! All of the restaurants here are included in the All Inclusive program, except the UnWined Cellar, as I mentioned in the video. There are also some restaurants that are for Sun Club guests only, but otherwise, all guests can enjoy all restaurants. Thanks for watching!

[@ChantalChicoine-w8x]

Pour quand l'ouverture

[@ChristineTurner]

It opened on Dec 10. Thanks for watching!

[@ronmiler5102]

Pretty shity place,go next door Dreams Dominicus.Hyat purchased and renovated it last year,but it is an old resort with military barracks looking buildings.Lots of sea weed last year ,but they cleaned it very quick.

[@ChristineTurner]

Hi Ron! That seaweed is so unpredictable! Sounds like the beaches in Cancun / Mayan Riviera have gone largely unscathed with it this year. Maybe when the weather switches from El Nino to La Nina, it'll bring colder temps and drive it away.

[@christinewentzell7365]

What about the beach?

[@ChristineTurner]

Hi Christine! It's gorgeous! On the south-side of Punta Cana, it's protected from the large waves and doesn't get any seaweed. Water is clear & perfect for swimming or snorkeling. Here's a video that was shot just a couple days ago by a guest who's staying there right now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWXTl4dunM2Erqs

[@natalliadyachenko6555]

Hi. How about stones and rocks under water at this hotel beach? Because before renovation we were at this hotel and couldn't swim. And we used a beach at another hotels. Thank you.

[@ChristineTurner]

@@natalliadyachenko6555 It sounds like most guests are bringing water shoes because there can be rocks or coral in the water here. Great question! Thanks for watching!

[@romang4279]

Nice - almost 8 min of Lady's face! None of the real photos or videos of the resort. Last year this resort has worst reviews in whole DR
