Villas are available for July 2018

Visited DR several times before and always stayed at 5+ star all inclusive resorts but this was the first time that rented a villa and must say that really glad that did. Thanks to Jim always going above and beyond to accommodate any request, this turned out to be the best vacation ever. Jim was very responsive and ensured that everything went smoothly. Rented 4bdrm villa which was right on the beach. Everything was beyond amazing. We just got back and my 2 kids are already asking when we can go back. Thanks Jim for making it an unforgettable vacation

Someone did steal our golf cart. Lol but we got another one .

We were six adults traveling together. We had a great time, lots of fun and laughter. We did have some torrential rains while visiting which the villa was not equipped for, leaking windows, doors, and some mold issues. Would definitely go back may choose a different accommodation.

This was the first in the Dominican Republic as well as the first time staying in a resort Villa. Jim was very informative and responsive. The checkin process was very quick and straight forward, I traveled with two friends we're all men in the 30's we received a drink at check in and felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. Everything in the description about what to expect was correct. We had a private villa with a private pool, maid service everyday, cooked breakfast which was great and way better then the breakfast buffet in which we also tried, the refrigerator was stocked with juices, water, sodas and beer. There was also a radio to stream music. The space in the villa was great. We received a golf cart which helped to navigate around the resort. The resort also had plenty of pools, access to the beach , food and drinks. It also had a couple duty free stores which came in handy. I'm definitely planning on heading back there in the beginning of the year. I didn't get the chance to go to ocean world so I cant comment on it. I did go check out club ice which i thought was pretty decent, its alot of reggaeton, reggae and hiphop which I enjoyed since I'm carribean, the age group varied but i would say the majority of the crowd was young adults.I didn't get to use the airport shuttle service because I rented a car so that i could tour the area during the day which I would recommend anyone who is looking to get off of the resort to do, my gps on my phone worked fined I had no delays or anything so I didnt need to rent a gps. My only take back from the trip is that every morning representatives from the resort would be knocking on the villa door before housekeeping arrived waking me up 😕 attempting to take me on tours and seminars which i was not interested in since I was on vacation to get away from seminars and meetings.

My family, friends, and I recently returned from a ten-day trip to the Lifestyles Holiday Vacation Resort. I must say that I was very impressed and we all absolutely loved our trip. First, I want to recognize Jim’s professionalism, sincerity, and trustworthiness. It is understandable to be wary when booking a vacation stay outside your home country, but I never once felt insecure working with Jim on this reservation. We plan to return to the resort next year and will definitely book through Jim again if possible.

The sprawling resort is immaculate and the staff very accommodating and friendly. The beauty of the numerous beach areas was surpassed only by the smiles on the faces of the beautiful, attentive staff. We quickly made friends that will last a lifetime. The private villas were nicely appointed and very clean. It was pleasant to have breakfast made especially for us to enjoy on the veranda. The private pool was cleaned and maintained each morning. We wanted for nothing during our stay. Our personal concierge, Jhon, made our dinner reservations and ensured we had everything we needed each day. The staff called each day to ensure our refrigerator was stocked appropriately, and a quick call to the transportation desk delivered very prompt service. In fact, we had to make sure that we were ready to leave when we needed shuttle service for the entire group because they were there before we could walk to the curb. We felt very safe in the environment. Every corner of the villa complex has a manned security guard station 24 hours per day.

We opted to take the half-day snorkeling tour excursion to Sousa Bay. The crew was wonderful, and we had a great experience.

The only negative experience we had was with registration at the resort. Our group arrived in stages and that understandably confused the registration staff. One worker became unfriendly as our last group arrived, making our guests a little uneasy. However, they learned quickly that the interaction was definitely not representative of the service or anyone else we encountered at the resort. We experienced consistent 5-star service throughout. We would recommend Lifestyles Holiday Vacation Resort in Puerto Plata to anyone desiring an affordable, luxury vacation. After ten days we found ourselves longing for additional time at the resort. There is truly something for everyone.

Thank you Jim for this wonderful opportunity to experience the resort with VIP access.
