What Makes Sunscape Dominicus La Romana Special?
1. The Calm, Sargassum-Free Bayahibe Coastline
Located on the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic, Dominicus Beach features calm, wave-free turquoise waters ideal for young children, paddleboarding, and snorkeling. Unlike many Atlantic-facing beaches in Punta Cana, this protected Caribbean bay stays naturally clean and virtually free of seaweed.
2. Proximity to Saona Island & Cotubanamá National Park
The resort sits right next to Cotubanamá (Del Este) National Park and the Bayahibe marina. Guests enjoy short 10-to-15-minute boat transfers to famous eco-excursions like Saona Island and Catalina Island.
3. Comprehensive Sun Club VIP Upgrades
Upgrading to Sun Club transforms the resort into an elevated hybrid stay—giving parents and adult couples access to quiet pools, private lounges, and adults-only dining venues while keeping kids entertained at the water park.
