“Servicio Excellente”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 25, 2013

It was such a good experience to enjoy life like a rich person. The staff is excellent. They are kind and nice people. Manny and Miguel of the golf services are awesome, they really accomodated our requests. Cheers for the both of them. The staff of the Casablanca were excellent as well. The whole time we were there in the resort, we were seated on the same table, and we were greeted by many of the friendly staff. Overall everything was great.The only thing I notice is that when you reserved for a la carte dining, you are always on the standby list. This is not good for people who likes to dine. The staff say that it is priority for VIP's. People are turned-off by this kind of reception, then when you invite them to become members, thats when they refuse. For myself and my wife, I thank personally the great services from your staff.

Room Tip: Building #5 is quiet and beside the adult POOL.

“Fantastic Vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 25, 2013

This was our 7th time vacationing at the Lifestyles Resort and it was the best vacation yet. The food was even better than the last six times which is hard to believe because we have always immensely enjoyed the cuisine. All of the staff have always been polite and courteous, and they have started to learn English, which of course we enjoy. I would like to mention that Manuel Guzman and George made our stay just that much better.

Room Tip: Every room is good.

“Still in disbelief on our great find”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

We got an unbelievable deal through Cheap Caribbean and thought it would be too good to be true. The resort turned out to be beautiful, so clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. We never had to wait but a minute or 2 for a drink and the food was great and plentiful. Pools and beach were great.

Room Tip: The Confresi sister hotel fills up with the locals on the weekend. The Lifestyle side has a little m...

“Totally all inclusive fun!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

This hotel has it all! The members in our travel group range from 72 to 8 years in age and everyone had a great time. The 70 year olds enjoyed all of the cuisine options, sitting aound the pool listening to music and playing dominos. While the 30 to 50 year olds enjoyed the covered VIP beds by the beach, water sports and sampling the wonderful drinks. Our younger travelers enjoyed the Kidz Club, where they went to the aquarium, horse back riding, and created a broadway worthy play. The kids looked forward to participating the Kidz Club almost as much as their parents wanted them (the kids) to take off. We enjoyed it so much that we went back for a second visit during Thanksgiving 2012. The staff treated us as if we were part of their family.

Room Tip: All accomodations were great.

“Don't do it”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

This was by far the worst vacation we ever had. The food was awful, the liquor limited unless you paid the extra VIP charge and the room was NOISY with LOUD, LOUD, LOUD music by the pool from 9 AM to at least 10 PM. Unless you timed it just right there was NO water coming out of the shower. The people who work there are very nice but there was only so much they could make up for. Watch out for the 10 minute sales pitch which will last for two hours. And don't believe the statement that you have 4 days to cancel the purchase. If you do cancel they will hit you with all kinds of fees. We don't eat fast food very often but the best meal on our trip was at Taco Bell on the way home from the airport.

Room Tip: Get a room away from the pool
