Conveniently located near a championship golf course, Sunscape Puerto Plata is the only all-inclusive resort in the area with a no-wristband policy. The Sun Club programming appeals to all ages and the property features expansive pool and beach areas.

“While not brand-new, this is still a great family property! Just 20 minutes from the airport, this resort is a wonderful full-service hotel with tons of entertainment, activities and fun for all ages. Guests also enjoy some extras that don’t usually come with budget-friendly hotels, like no required bracelets and no reservations needed at the specialty restaurants.” — Tina Baldwin, Maritime Travel Agent, Mayflower Mall, Sydney, NS

The beach restaurant is transformed into a disco at night and even if you don’t feel like dancing, you can still enjoy some great Latin music under the stars.
