Sunscape Resorts – Bringing Back a Brand
By Mark Rogers

When AMResorts first burst onto the all-inclusive scene ten years ago, it was with the Sunscape brand. Sunscape offered affordable and active vacations for families, friends and singles. As AMResorts grew over the course of a decade, they introduced new brands that raised the bar on the all-inclusive experience, including Secrets, Dreams, Zoetry and Now. The market embraced these elevated brands and the company’s Sunscape properties eventually disappeared from view, taking a vacation of their own. With the top end of the market so well-served, it was time to revisit vacation options for travelers with one eye on the budget. The time was right to bring the Sunscape brand back.

On November 1, AMResorts will open Sunscape Dorado Pacifico Ixtapa. Further down the line, the company has hinted we may see more Sunscape resorts on the Riviera Maya and Puerto Vallarta as well as in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.AM Resorts
