TripAdvisor
A $25 million renovation completed in November 2023 gives Sunscape Coco Punta Cana a competitive edge among family resorts in Cabeza de Toro. The freshly overhauled property runs 1,091 rooms across a sprawling Bavaro Beach footprint, putting it firmly in the large-resort category where you'll cover real ground between the pool deck and dinner.
This property is best suited for families with children under 16 who want structured programming and aquatic variety without having to think about wristbands or restaurant bookings. The Explorer's Club (ages 3–12) and Core Zone Teens Club (ages 13–17) both run daily from 9 AM to 10 PM, giving parents genuine breathing room. The adults-only Sun Club sections add a quieter layer if parents need to retreat. Couples seeking an intimate, quieter setting will find the size and family energy to be a poor fit.
The most common guest complaint involves beach seaweed management — the resort makes ongoing efforts to clear Bavaro's sargassum, but results are inconsistent by season. Guests who visit expecting an always-pristine shoreline occasionally find seaweed collection operations underway. Come with flexibility and focus on the pools instead.
At 1,091 rooms, this is not a small resort. The property is 15 to 30 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ). Twelve dining options span Italian, Asian, Mexican, Amazonian, Steakhouse, and Caribbean — all included with no reservations required under the Unlimited-Fun® program. Seven pools include a splash pool with two waterslides, a dedicated children's pool, and two Sun Club exclusives. The Sunscape Spa by Pevonia® handles standard resort wellness duties with massages, facials, and hydrotherapy.
