I want to start off by saying that before we actually went on this trip, I was traumatized by all the terrible reviews this place was getting. I was so nervous to the point of being scared to go on this trip ~~~ My expectations were ZERO in the end, so I jumped on the plane with absolutely no idea... More

My wife and I stayed at Cofresi Palm towards the end of January and we can't wait to go back with our kids! A very beautiful resort with wonderful landscaping, great pools and a nice beach. I think that people are born to complain because we had no problems with the food. We were always able to find something we... More

My husband and I recently went on a 'RedTag' vacation to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic and we have NEVER been this disappointed in our accommodations in all of our travelling experiences. There was false advertisement, as the Cofresi resort by Lifestyle is NOT a 4.5 star hotel. At least, not the room they had us in. We would like to... More

I am a member of Lifestyles and have stayed in all of the other accommodations, so I decided to try out the new Cofresi Palm section. What a beautiful place! The beaches, rooms, decor are all top-notch, which is in keeping with the rest of the Lifestyles resort. The Pearl buffet was one of my favorites. Food was excellent and... More

We had booked this trip through Cheap Caribbean before the reviews starting coming in. Obviously, we were very concerned. Simply put, if you can book somewhere else, do so. I've stayed in Punta Cana a few times before. The beaches there are much nicer and longer (we walked for miles, not so here). The water is clear when your in... More

My husband and I are members at Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club and were interested in checking out this new section of the resort. We normally stay in the villas as we usually come down with large groups of friends and family. However, since this time it was only the two of us, we wanted something smaller. And we are very...

The least I could say... it is total chaos out there ! While all the staff is nice, smiling, doing the extra mille to acomodate, it seems there are no rules in this resort, no standard, and you can get various answers to the same question depending to whom you ask! As an exemple, I got borrowed an umbrella free... More

Not our first all inclusive resort, but first in Dominican Republic. We found the grounds to be gorgeous. The food was good to very good and had nice variety. The room was old, but clean and comfortable with a stocked mini-fridge. The buildings are indeed scattered over acres on a hillside which means LOTS of stairs unless you call for... More

The only people that have positive reviews about this place are obviously the time share owners. This place is based on "exclusivity" if you're not a member you will not get any of the so called "perks" of this place. The only thing I have nice to say about his place is that the grounds are nice, but you constantly... More
