Sunscape Resorts & Spas
will make its Dominican Republic debut next year with the reflagging of
the Barcelo Puerto Plata, which closed last week.
The 585-room beachfront resort on
the island's northern coast will undergo “extensive” renovations, according
to AMResorts, operator of the Sunscape brand.
The resort, which is adjacent to an
18-hole Robert Trent Jones-designed golf course, will have eight restaurants
and bars. The property is owned by the Sandretto family, which also owns
AMResorts’ Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa in Mexico.
AMResorts oversees six Sunscape
properties: three in Mexico, two in Jamaica and one in Curacao.
