6,577 reviews don't lie (much). Sunscape's whole deal is being the resort nobody regrets. It won't thrill your Instagram feed the way Ziva will, but it also won't have you fighting over lounge chairs at 7 AM the way Hilton will. The Core Zone teen lounge means Cohen and Charlotte can disappear for hours and the resort WiFi does the supervision. "Unlimited-Fun" = no wristbands, no reservations. Tova, the beach is right there and there's a 24-hour coffee bar for the 4 AM "the kids are gone" celebratory cappuccino. Real caveat from reviews: it's looking its age in places — don't come for marble countertops.
