Price reduced for Thanksgiving Week 2018

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.

The staff at Lifestyles Holiday Resort was friendly & accommodating. The villa was nice & we were pleased with the way we felt like we had our own oasis. It took us a little while to find our way around the resort & we still did not find all the places we hoped to. There are so many nice beaches, pools, restaurants & lounges to explore. We may have benefited from taking the tour, but preferred to skip it so we could spend more time on the beach. As a first timer, we were a little confused by the routine of staff coming & going from our villa, but adjusted quickly. The pool was cleaned every morning, our housekeeper, Rosa was in every morning to make sure we had coffee & to check on our breakfast needs. She served a delicious breakfast on time every day! We enjoyed her pleasant personality & she quickly became part of our family. She kept our villa clean & made sure we had what we needed. Our VIP representative took care of our dinner reservations, our transportation needs & restocking the frig as needed.

Our only challenge was with the golf cart. It took us several days to get one because there weren't enough of them & then we had to get some things fixed on it. It did not hamper our vacation tho. We enjoyed walking & most of the accommodation's were close by. On the evenings that it rained, we took the shuttle. The shuttle service was convenient & their response time was amazing.

Unfortunately our beach party was cancelled due to rain, we heard that it was a great experience. We did not attend any of the shows because we had late dinner reservations. But we enjoyed hanging out at the Sports Bar. The staff was so friendly & became part of our family.

Thank you Jim for making the reservation process so easy. The resort check in & check out went smoothly. All details were executed well. We look forward to going back!

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.
