This was our first tropical experience at an all-inclusive resort and overall I think it was a great experience! The whole thing from leaving Chicago, to arriving back a week later was just over $3k so for us that was a little pricey, but still not too bad.
The biggest negitive is that there isn't much to do outside the resort, but that is the nature of the beast I think.
The food was pretty good all around and the staff was fun and entertaining.
My wife and don't have another trip to match this up against, so we might be missing out on something, but overall, if you are looking for a 100% care-free, relaxing vacation, this will do the trick nicely!

Went for 14 days and dont have one complaint at all, the rooms were perfect the staff are all friendly and funny even the maids and cleaners. Perfect if you want a relaxing holiday or a fun holiday with always something to do. The restaurants are all brilliant and there are plenty choices of food. Only one problem is the 1hr and 30mins car trip from the hotel you get a bit hot and thirsty but the drivers are willing to stop if you want to buy a drink.

My husband and I stayed at the Sunscape March 30 to April 6, 2008. We had read all kinds of bad reviews and we got very worried. When we arrived the place was beautiful and very clean. We had a room on the 1st floor and had no problems with anything. Yes the room was a bit musty but lets be realistic we are in the D.R. The weather was perfect only one cold wet day but we made the best of it. We did not go to watch T.V. so that was not an issue. The food was very good we had a wonderful meal at all the places we went. The maid Maria was pregnant and did a great job of cleaning our room. The beds were changed at least three times which I did not expect at all. The towels and bedding had a clean smell and we did not see any bugs in our room at all. I think that people who have complained need to have a reality check and remember it is a third world country. WE had a great time go with a positive attitude and a smile on your face. It sure is amazing what a smile and good attitude will get you.
