Puerto Plata

The resort was a lot smaller than we typically vacation at. For some ways, this was good, as service in restaurants and bars was fantastic. However, being so small had less to offer for kids activities.

Everything would be fine if it weren't for the problems with Wi-Fi and the shower. Our complaints didn't go beyond the reception,lack of response from the administration. The first night we covered ourselves only with sheets, and it took more than 24 hours to get blankets.

My partner and I had a great week! The food was out of this world, variety, quality! We were able to eat and drink at the sister resort next door as well, which was also a huge plus. After a slight glitch with our first room, which was dealt with quickly, we were moved to another. The rooms are cozy, but we weren't inside much. Beach was great and if you were up fairly early, poolside seats were easily attainable, as were beach chairs. Great entertainment at this resort.

From our arrival to our departure we found the personnel friendly, smiling and helpful at this Adult only resort. Our rooms were different in size but they were nice & clean and all items replenished when needed. There were 13 hangers in my closet and 2 shelves one long shelf on top to store my clothes/items. I had no drawers in my room. I had issues with my safe (3 times), but Vivian and Josee came rapidly and changed the batteries and the safe. There was an electrical issue with the 220 volts (No AC) but it was mostly during the day and I was out to the beach or pool. The ceiling fan and lights (110V) worked. They changed the big green transformer box at the end of my building and we had no further issues. The beach is nice and the entry into the ocean is easy and gradual (not steep). All pool areas were well maintained. We enjoyed the gardens when walking to the buffet or the beach. We did not eat lunch at the beach. The food was good at the buffet. The variety is not elaborate but you will always find something to satisfy your hunger. We ate at the Italian and Asian A la Carte restaurants. For our taste, we found the Asian to be the Best one, good selection and delicious tasty food. We went to the resort's Spa and enjoyed relaxing massages. My daughter had Angela and I had Lisbeth and Eloida. These masseuse were very good and professional. Even if I had issues with my safe and AC, we still enjoyed this small Adult only resort. We will be returning to again enjoy another restful vacation ....

From arriving to Hotel front lobby I was astonished by the beauty of the layout after a very easy check in with customer service that can speak very good English I was able to easily get to my room and be astonished by the views sites smells an attitude from all. My next stay will be at Lifestyles Resort hopefully building 6 maybe a Corner Room. This will be my forever tropical home.

The first week we were there was fantastic. The service was excellent, the staff helpful. Within 24 hours, once the hotel stated to fill up to always full capacity the hotel changed completely. There was always something missing on the buffet tables, the staff was rushed. Beach towels not replaced on hang to dry on our room's chairs, etc. Very disappointed.

It was good but no activities, the restaurants were closed, if I knew in advance I would have gone somewhere else. The team there was good.

Enjoyed a pleasant week but didn't experience anything spectacular. Food was passable but nothing stood out. Beach was average but I prefer pure white sand beaches. Satisfied with the stay considering the price paid.
