Recently taken over by AM Resorts and turned from a Barceló into a Sunscape, this all-inclusive offers good value and has managed to remain vital at least in part because of its discounted internet deals enjoyed by a mix of Dominican families and guests from abroad. The tile-floored, attractive rooms have comfortable beds and the spa offers fish pedicures.
The pool areas aren't the elaborate fantasias of some resorts, but the beachfront lives up to most people's Caribbean expectations. Like most of its kind, check-in and check-out can be slow and there's a hefty charge for wi-fi.
