Have you seen any renderings of what the kids "splash" park consists of? Family of 6, been looking at various dreams properties in mexico and D.R. how do you think the food will be here?

@ChristineTurner

6 ай бұрын

Hi Mike! No I haven't seen renderings of the splash park but I expect it would be that fairly basic concept of kiddie slides and climbing zoo, along with one of those buckets that fills up and eventually flips over and splashes the kids. Nothing too exotic, but the kids seem to love it. I think the food will be okay here but with more of a budget approach to things. Still going to be solid quality ingredients - just not the premium cuts of steak, etc, that you might see at Dreams.

Great video , what about the beach itself- seaweed? Etc . Do you have to fight for beach chairs ??

@ChristineTurner

Hi The Nasty Nelly! I actually did this video just prior to it opening so I haven't seen what the seaweed is like or the chair saving situation. I will say that the chair fight usually varies with hotel guests week to week, so you never quite know if you have to get up at 6am or can sleep until 10 & still get a seat!

Do you know when all of the renovations be complete?

Hi Dech810! The resort is open now and final touches are being completed but the majority of work is done.

There are so many positive yet negative reviews I am finding online, so I am pretty nervous to attend this place in March. I would like to ask if you know how much the upgrade to the SunClub would be, and where I could find more information on excursions that are relatively close to the resort. Thank you!

@ChristineTurner

Hi Suzie! When you reserved your room, you would have had the option to upgrade to SunClub. You would need to check your reservation and inquire with whomever you booked the trip with to find out if you can upgrade and if so, what the cost would be. I would suggest joining one of the facebook groups to find out more about excursions - here's a link to one that is actually run by a woman who works for a tour company there. facebook.com/groups/1109095627114609

Thanks for the great review. I am going in June. We booked SunClub family double rooms. I didn't know it was on the other side of the resort from the adults only section. Will we be able to go to the adults only side and lounge with our sun club family booking? We are all adults. Never been to one where there was two areas.

@ChristineTurner

Hi Jessica! Yeah the SunClub Family rooms would be more in the family section as this would normally be used for a family with kids but the layout of the resort looks pretty decent so it shouldn't be too far to get over to the adult pool - there's always shortcuts through these places! I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of the resort and the SunClub! Thanks for watching!

The resort emailed me back and said we cannot use the Adults only areas only the sun club family lounges/pools and the main area of the resort. I just want to know if we will wish we just did the regular rooms by the main pool area instead of the sun club family area. Can you give any recommendations about this?@@ChristineTurner

@@jessicabarto3292 Wait - so you're saying that you've booked a Premium room and you can use the Premium Family pool but not the Adult only pool for everyone? That makes zero sense. I'm thinking it may be a lost-in-translation moment? I've never ever seen a resort that would restrict access for guests in upgraded rooms. This would be a first!!

Hi Christine...Is this a new build or was it another resort before, if so which one?

Hi Barbara! No it’s a takeover from one of the BeLive resorts. They’ve done some renovations to match the style and colouring of a Sunscape but no major changes.

Hi Christine!! We going on February too. Wifi is free?

@ChristineTurner

6 ай бұрын

Hi Jose! Yes - according to the resort fact sheets, it is included. I will say that I have seen a few notes elsewhere that contradict this, but the standard for all Sunscape properties is to include the wifi, so I'd be very surprised if they didn't.

Thanks for the review, Christine! I'm booked for new year's as a solo traveller, have two questiona: 1. Would I need to make a booking for the night club for the 31st? 2. If I'm hungry later at night, is there a cafe/late night eating option here? Thanks!

Hi Raoul! The disco doesn't require reservations unless they are planning a special event - you'd have to contact the resort directly to find out if they Activities Team has something planned. The Coco Cafe is open 24/7, so you can always grab a snack from there! Thanks for watching!

Hello! I made this video before the resort opened, so I'm not 100% sure, but I will say that every other Sunscape I've been to has drink menus to at least give you an idea of what types of drinks they can mix up!

What is the snorkeling like at this location?

@ChristineTurner

6 ай бұрын

Hi Elaine! Unless you go to a reef on a tour, the beaches in Punta Cana are great for swimming but you won't likely see much in terms of fish when you snorkel. The beach is nice but the fish tend to spend more time around rocky areas and coral, where they can feed. If you can, I'd highly recommend a tour to Saona Island. It's a full day trip as it's way down south, but the water is spectacularly clear and the beaches are eye-candy. Great snorkeling too!

Hi Sunshine! Smoking is restricted to certain areas. I did this video before the resort opened, so I don't know if they allow Hookah smoking or not. My guess is that they wouldn't because most places are removing smoking areas.

This looks like a revamped Belive resort, when i went it was a dump. When they opened it to the locals on the weekends, we were treated poorly.

Came from our 7 day stay in this hotel, and it was not a nice experience, the room we got was dirty and filthy, the paint of so called "renovations" is everyone, even on the curtains; the bright side was the weather and the ocean, but it's not the hotel's merit
