What’s Special About This Resort
For families who come to Cozumel to enjoy the tropical climate, the white-sand beach, and the warm waters, Sunscape Sabor is worth considering. While the resort sits a 20-minute drive from town, if you like the beach and don’t mind staying on resort most of the time, you’ll find plenty to do here. This all-inclusive resort offers kids’ and teens clubs (think foam parties and outdoor trampolines), plenty of kayaks, snorkeling equipment, and other watersports gear to borrow, two swimming pools, a private white-sand beach, a spa and fitness center, and a pier for easy scuba diving.
We want to make note that currently, there are 3 resorts attached at this location, Dreams Cozumel, Secrets Aura, and Sunscape Sabor. All seem to have issues at the current time with room quality, restaurant availability, and maintenance. However, these hotels are all on the largest strip of nice sand private beach on Cozumel, so we felt we needed to include them in our current guide. Dreams is the most recent refurbished area of these joined resorts, but we have reviewed Sunscape Sabor because of its better kids’ and teen clubs, and it has the fitness center and spa on site.
Things we like:
-
Private, white-sand beach -
Separate clubs for younger kids and teens

-
No food service by the pool
-

What to Do
Sunscape Sabor is all about the sunny outdoors, providing ample activities on land and in the water. Family fun includes beach volleyball, ping pong, and watersports. Or, adults can enjoy some relaxing pool time, while the kids and teens attend their own activities at separate clubs. The Explorer’s Club for Kids is for ages 3-12 and offers video games, crafts, sand-castle competitions, theater productions, and a camping adventure on the beach.
The Core Zone Teens Club is for ages 13-17 and offers daily activities, sports, and games.
The resort offers two swimming pools, and a scuba pool just for lessons. There is beach volleyball, snorkeling, kayaking, catamaran sailing, and paddle boarding all included.
Even after sundown, there’s always something happening, with nightly entertainment and live musical performances.
The Spa by Pevonia offers treatment rooms for singles and couples, locally inspired spa treatments, facials, aromatherapy, a full-service beauty salon, a hydrotherapy circuit, and all-natural products from Pevonia.
The fitness center features treadmills, free and universal weights, exercise bikes, elliptical machines, aqua aerobics, yoga mats, exercise balls, and more. But be aware the fitness center is shared between the 2 other adjacent resorts, so it can get busy.
The staff is happy to arrange excursions to local archaeological sites and eco-parks on the island and within Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.

Sunscape Sabor has 2 restaurants, with some casual daytime dining options as well. There are kid favorites on the menu, too.
