Deluxe Beach Suite - Ask about the GOLD All-Inclusive or BLACK Upgrade

**All-Inclusive fees will be due to the Resort upon arrival. Please view rental agreement or inquire before booking**

We can book you into the Beach Suite unit located literally steps from the Ocean!

There are two parts to the reservation process. We collect for the reservation and payment of the room, and when you check in at the resort you will pay for the All-Inclusive portion. Once you provide us with your flight information, we will arrange your complimentary airport transfer to the resort from either Puerto Plata (POP) or Santiago (STI).

The Lifestyle Holiday Vacation Club is located along the Northern Coast of the Dominican Republic and is one of the best kept secrets of the Caribbean that we have discovered in our 20 years of traveling the Caribbean. A great place to vacation!

As Chairman’s Circle/Platinum Supreme Shareholders/Real Estate Owners of the Resort, we can extend many of our benefits to our guests. We can extend to you the Gold Bracelets with your booking, which would give you access to the Member-only areas of the resort or the Black Bracelets which extend you access to the Shareholder areas of the Resort.

Resort Amenities include:
• 12 à la carte restaurants for dinner reservations.
• 2 Full-Service Buffets for quick meals or late-night snacks.
• 10 Lite Fare Restaurants for casual dining. No reservations required!
• Over 30 bars to suit everyone’s inclination.
• Free Wi-Fi access in designated areas (Wi-fi available in the room, additional cost).
• Access to 4 beaches (Both Member and Guest)
• Complimentary bikes for your enjoyment, tennis and basketball courts.
• Thursday night has a live entertainment party typical of a Vegas show.
• You will have access to the V.I.P Pool and Bar.
• Complimentary round-trip airport transfers from “EITHER” the Puerto Plata airport (POP) or Santiago Airport (STI). Few members can offer complimentary Santiago airport transfers for guest reservations through the Resort’s transportation department. This gives you an additional airport to consider when reserving your flights. STI requires a 3-night minimum stay.

Lifestyles Holiday Vacation Resort offers many activities which include banana boat rides, snorkeling, fitness classes, poolside activities, tennis, golf, ping pong, child center activities, spa and workout center, etc. There is also an on-site scuba diving school (PADI).

*** Inquire about our NEW BLACK Bracelet upgrade option now available ***

Send us an inquiry and we will respond ASAP. The best way to have a great vacation experience is to feel comfortable about your reservation. We make sure everything is completely arranged and all of your questions are answered long before you travel so once you are on your flight (not included), you can relax and be on a worry-free vacation. We want all our guests to enjoy all that Lifestyle has to offer to make their vacation a truly fantastic and unforgettable vacation experience!

Nice property

Resort was very nice, food good. Beach view was awesome. Drake was amazing with communication and setting everything up. Did not realize restaurants on property were by reservation. We had reservations set up for us, but we weren't aware. New to the all inclusive so possible error on our part but the resort also failed to tell us-we found out when we went to schedule reservations. Also, resort was supposed to tell us about the extras we received by booking with this owner-told us they were busy and meant to call us but didn't. Overall-wonderfull experience.

Great Unit

If you're going to stay at this resort, this unit and owner are first rate! The room is beautiful and exactly as described. Communication is thorough, accurate and responsive. The resort is challenging. Although it was beautiful and there were nice beaches, I would not travel to a Lifestyle Holiday Resort again. Even if you get the black band, there are places you won't be allowed to go (beaches, bars, restaurants). Even with the black band you can't necessarily get reservations at all restaurants. The resort decides where you get reservations when you arrive and then doesn't give you that information unless you go on the selling tour. Questions and problems are very difficult to get addressed. Employees will consistently state that you need to speak to someone else. That next person will direct to to someone else, etc. They provide reservation/service phone numbers that aren't answered. You won't be allowed into restaurants or activities (tennis, pickleball) even if it seems empty without a reservation. Internet access is almost non-existent. A low level signal is available in some areas. It isn't ever enough to support connection to a laptop. You can purchase internet access in the room, but the cost only covers a single device.

Great stay, worth getting the gold bands

Cofresi is part of a consortium of resorts in the same area (Tropical, Presidential Suites, Villas, etc) that all share amenities, beaches and bars. Depending on the membership level you purchase, you have access to increasingly more options that the previous level. The owners fulfilled their end of the bargain and we were very happy to have the gold bands for the duration of our stay. The resort however needs some work. They didn't seem to know which office could help which type of guests. We were guests of owners but they had no idea where to direct us when issues arose. We wasted a day just in getting bounced around to different offices to get issues resolved. The first room they put us in was a ground level unit that had issues with water coming in. The room had a musty smell. They moved us to a 2nd floor unit, but the view was not as nice. It took us a while to figure out that we needed to go to the Real Estate office for help. The resort will happily direct you to the sales office and once there you are stuck in the sales seminar (their version of the timeshare tour). We enjoyed the NV 'Envy' Beach which was included with the gold bands. I honestly felt like it was better than the higher level beach next door because all the people from that beach had to come to ours to use the restroom. I was not impressed with any of the food at the restaurants. It was not bad, but just wasn't great. I was hoping for more seafood options. We would book again if possible though.

Nice Resort & Great Property Manager

The stay at the property was great. Exactly as described in the listing. Pre-booking and pre-trip communications and details from the owner's property manager were extremely helpful. Buildings are closest to the beach in the entire resort. And the resort is large with about 5 complete sections. The unit is in the Cofresi Palm section. The colored bracelet thing is a bit overdone here. However, having a gold one is certainly preferable over many others. There was no ocean view from the unit assigned (Bldg 40) but I could certainly hear the ocean. Beach/VIP beach was only a few steps from the building. VIP beach areas (there are at least 4 but one was closed) have nice, comfortable beach beds and staff was great. Drinks and food service available that is included in the VIP beach areas at no charge. I would definitely recommend tipping. It is critical to make dinner reservations at the restaurants as soon as possible upon arrival (or before). The resort did assign reservations for the first 3 nights at VIP restaurant selections but i changed them after the first night. Easy to do. You go to the VIP Guest Services office and I did not have to wait in a long line at 9 a.m. like non-VIP guests. I ate breakfast in the VIP breakfast restaurant once. I would suggest the regular buffet breakfast. It is a larger venue, easier to find a good place to sit, and better service in my view. The food available is not too different either. Tip: Learn the shuttle route!

Overall my stay was ok the food choices were good a variety to chose from, the staff was friendly, but the front desk lost my state ID and it took approx. 3hrs to located it and lastly the mattress in my room was very hard and difficult to sleep on something similar to a mattress at a county jail or military barrack.

Lifestyles resort

I was at this lifestyles resort 13 years ago. It's as beautiful as it was back then. Booking with John Wells has been the best experience I've had. He reply's to emails with hours not days, and when I received emails they are lengthy with so much information which is very appreciated. I didn't need to go back and forth with so many emails because John's emails for so informative. The resort itself is clean and very large. I was glad to have paid extra to get a golf cart as the resort is the largest Ive been on. I really loved how John booked all 12 nights for our dinner reservations so this saved me time getting up early to book. The food was excellent. I'm not a fan of steak but had steak at quite a few places as it was delicious. We just didn't care for one restaurant out of the 12 we went to We found the staff at the bars and restaurants weren't as friendly as other places we've been. We are used to bar staff being funny and joking or at least making small chat but we didn't get that here. Harmony beach was our favourite spot as the staff there was more friendly. This place also has servers that come to your cabana which doesn't happen at most of the pools. Overall this place is great if you are looking for a more relaxed vacation as it is a big resort with lots of areas to enjoy the many pools and nice beach.

The Resort

Enjoy being in DR. The downside of this trip is not from the owners of the suite but most of the resort staff and their lack of communication. On multiple occasions we were given misinformation and harassed multiple times to buy into their property. The beach was not clean as this was a major turnoff. If I was asked to return I would not. Another downside is the lack of entertainment and pools closing at 7 pm. I wish I had more positive things to say but lifestlye resorts will never get my business again. I would like to thank the owners of the suite for allowing us to rent out their property and respond to messages quickly.

Awesome time, awesome value

My husband, baby (9 months old) and I all had a great time. The VRBO is located within a resort and once you arrive you pay for the all inclusive bracelet. Really great value. Upon checking in we were able to book dinner for all our nights there, we received 3 complimentary alcohol bottles (of our choosing) and 2 juices. Due to the large scale of the resort you have to move around on the shuttle. At first is hard catching it because even though it is on a 20 minute schedule it’s hard to catch. I would recommend if possible to book one of the golf carts especially if traveling with a non walking/young child. The room is nice for resort standards, cold hood AC, was cleaned well and they provided us with a crib. Every beach had the nice lounge beds and we explored almost all of the beaches/sites. We can’t speak for the hotel entertainment at night since our little one was in bed by 830pm we had early dinners. Communication with VRBO was awesome they set up free round trip airport pick up, super nice car and friendly drivers. All in all would recommend.

Another amazing stay

Another fabulous stay! We weren’t sure what to expect since we haven’t traveled since prior to covid. Alyssa and Drake were exceptional at communication and answered all of our questions promptly and thoroughly up to our travel dates. We upgraded to the black band which was fantastic as we were able to go to just about every area of the resort, our reservations were scheduled upon arrival as we were able to submit our requests prior to our stay with the black band. Airport transfer was waiting right outside the airport for us , easy to identify and our driver Manny was engaging, fun and friendly! A little confusion with checkin as we were used to working with VIP services in previous trips and we were directed to the Real Estate office this time. Once we arrived to the areal estate office , we were provided with our dinner reservations, drink packages and scheduled our complimentary covid tests. The staff at Lifestyles are so amazing - friendly and made us feel right at home. We can’t say enough about the bartenders, entertainers, maid service, lifeguards, servers. Check out process was simple and airport transfer was on time. This is one of our favorite places to visit and we can’t wait to book with John, Drake and Alyssa again in the fall!

Not what I expected of a so called 5 star property

The food was good , but the room was substandard. Low lighting (could not read in bed , or anywhere inside the room at night) , the walls are thin ( i could here the neighbors, as if they were in my room ), bathroom lighting above the mirror not sufficient for shaving , hot water regulated , so if you want a hot shower, your not going to get one , the nice restaurants are only open from 6-10 pm and you need to set a reservation ahead of time ( basically when you get there, not even knowing where you want to eat for your time there , that far in advance and I myself normally eat by 5 pm and not later , so I guess I’m ——- out of luck.
