Great for first time travelers
Overall experience was good. Our issues with the Villa plumbing in the kitchen and 2 of the 5 bathrooms interrupted some plessure time. If you are securing a golf cart inspect test drive first to ensure proper operational functions exist or you will have to swap it out. The food was amazing. Tomas the host for our in Villa barbecue is highly recommended. The bottle limit for owner guests is limited to 10 bottles and is 2-shelf liquor not top shelf (Bring your preferred liquor with you). On-site Duty free os heavily overpriced. Property is safe

Excellent combination of all-inclusive resort and VRBO
First, Jim is an incredible host. Everything has exacly as advertised and his preparations prior to arrival were excellent. I've rented alot on VRBO and he is the best host I've ever had. This property is a villa on the grounds of an all-inclusive resort, so it's the best of both options at a very affordable price. Our family had our very own villa with a spacious backyard with our own pool that was cleaned daily. We had our own housekeeper, Rafaela, who took care of us throughout our trip. We had a brief interruption in the air conditioning in one room. She called on our behalf and had it fixed in a few hours while we were at the beach. We had a chef come to make us breakfast every morning. There about 5 different options (Continental, American, Dominican, Light ...) to choose from. 5 bottles of complementary spirits (vodka, tequila, etc) were left in our villa and we had the use of a golf cart free of charge during our stay. The villa was clean. Each bedroom had an en suite bathroom and shower. The villa we rented was a Crown Villa in the Lifestyle Resort in Puerta Plata, Dominican Repulbic. Complimentary private airport transfer is provided at both ends of our trip. There was a private villa check in and a VIP concierge at our disposal. These meetings were quick and easy. The reviews of the Lifestyle Resort are horrible but this was not our experience. The resort is dated but the food was good for the most part.

Great stay in DR
John was an excellent property manager. His listing was spot on and he was very easy to communicate with both before and during our stay. The level wrist band that comes with this rental is invaluable as it allows access to pretty much everything on the property. The property has a lot of construction going on and the villa we stayed in was older and in need of some TLC. The staff at the resort were all fabulous and our villa was clean. Electricity and hot water went out a few times during our stay and internet connection was difficult. Restaurants were all great!

Villa stay
My stay at this property was as advertised. Private chef prepared breakfast every morning. You had your choice of breakfast styles. Getting the golf cart was a breeze, the property real estate was next door to the lobby to get your cart. The restaurant that we had reservations at was amazing. The house was amazing. Easy access to the pool. The balcony upstairs had amazing views and very relaxing. Overall our stay was a success. The only downside was employees knocking at the door everyday asking or inviting you to do certain activities. But that’s just me. Great job Jim on setting me up for my Birthday! Maurice

Spoiled like Royalty
This has been my 2nd trip to the resort, but my first time under Jim's services. All I can say, I LOVED IT. Upon making the reservations Jim stayed in contact from start to finish. Reservations were made for a large group and due to changes we ended only with 4 people going. But the whole time, Jim was there to contact the resort about the changes. The accommodations were beyond my expectations. From wifi in the villa (which is uncommon) to a guaranteed golf cart. Upon Arrival we were picked up in a black luxury SUV from the airport, our dinner reservations were scheduled for the whole time we were there and anything we needed was taken care of. Once returned stateside, I reached out to Jim to plan my next trip using his services. The only way I will stay at the resort is if I use Jim or I become a member. Thank you soooo much for making this trip easy, smooth, and enjoyable.

Great time- owner made it even better
We arrived late (after midnight) to our villa & had to check in at a different desk than normal for villas. We weren’t given the correct villa but thanks to our owner, Jim, being on property EVERYTHING was handled promptly and more than satisfactorly. Jim, made sure we had the correct wristbands with access to cirtually everywhere. He and his wife also included mu family in their meals as well. Great getting to know them. The grounds to the property are top notch and the food at the restaurants is excellent. Be sure to try as many evening dinners at different places as possible. They are excellent. Our villa was what we had hoped with the only issue being we needed a 5 bedroom villa but instead got a 3 & 4 bedroom villa right next to each other. Not a big deal for us as our kids were young adults and just took the larger villa. We are already making plans to brong some friends down for next year. Thanks Jim & Dee for a great time!

Fantastic trip
The resort is beautiful, with gorgeous beaches and facilities. The villas themselves are getting dated, but it was clean and inviting. Carolina, our housekeeper and cook, was the kindest, most considerate person. I have mobility difficulties and she made accommodations for me. She kept the Villa spotless. There were some maintenance issues, but the resort attended to them quickly and efficiently. The food was good, especially the Dominican restaurant. My daughter and her husband went on an excursion with her 14-year-old son to the Damajaguas waterfall jumps and had a blast.My husband took lots of walks around the resort and on the beach. We all enjoyed the beautiful beaches, with NV being our favorite. Everyone was kind and helpful to me with my needs. As to check-in etc., Jim was fantastic. Everything went as planned. Jim was very communicative and helpful. Wonderful vacation!

Great villa no hot or water 2nd class treatment
Great villa unfortunately we had little to no hot water the 14 days we were there. We ran out of water 5 days. We were supposed to have a golf cart for our transport needs. NO GOLF CART the 14 days we were there. Making dinner reservations was a daily chore. Which our was supposed to be handled for us but we always found out the afternoon of the day. Even after we were upgraded to VIP status it didn’t matter. There seems to be 3 levels of service. Owners Members and Shareholders. We rented tru a share holder. The least important one on their list. So no matter what wristbands we wore didn’t make it any better for us. The resort is a great place if I go back I will make sure I rent from an owner. All the people we met in the 14 days we were at the resort the people who rented from owners got treated the best. If you see a beautiful house renting from $100 per night. Stay away from it. It’s not the place you will get. You will be treated as a second class person below the owners and members.

Crown Villa 8/2023
Jim was a great host. I was able to communicate with him prior to the trip and once I arrived at the resort. We were picked up in a Mercedes limousine bus at the airport which had 10 other guests going to the resort. I had 5 people total in my group and had reserved a 5 bedroom villa. At check in, I was attended to by Dominga who stated we only have notification of 3 in your party and a 3 bedroom. I told her that was not possible and needed to be fixed. She went to speak with the manager. She told me they were looking into the manner. In the meantime, speak with the concierge services about dinner reservations that evening. There was only one person working and about 4 people in line. Fortunately I was next. During my 30 minute wait, I contacted Jim our host. He said he would call and see what he could do. Another person was arguing with the concierge service about the same bedroom issue for their multiple guests. After getting a dinner reservation, I went back to the check in desk and Dominga said they were still working on it and disappeared. Now I know why there is a full service bar in the lobby. After an hour, I went to ask another person and was told we were assigned a 5 bdrm villa. We went to the villa and were astonished. Full kitchen stocked with beer, soda and water, 5 bathrooms, 5 bedrooms, private pool, outdoor kitchen and a large patio. Continued review elsewhere. Host, Resort,Villa,Beach staff, Clara our Maid who is also the chef great. My Concierge, Saury bad.

Jim was great! The service at the resort could improve
I would like to start by saying that Jim the host was great to work with and I do not think that he intentionally misrepresented this resort. Once we arrived at the airport our stretch limo, which I didn't realize we were getting, was amazing and stocked with champaign and beer! Great all around. Once we got to Lifestyle Holiday Resort check in was pretty smooth... We got in and dropped off bags freshened up and headed out to explore. The next day is when all the problems started to arrive. This particular house had multiple issues ranging from AC(they said they couldn't fix), no water in shower, no stove oven(for our in house breakfast each morning), pool was super tiny and stone was falling off, wifi wouldn't work in this particular villa, and some other minor things. We went to thevl office and at this point it took a tour of the property(its a timeshare and I expected them to try to sell, and that was fine) and about 3 hrs of complaining to get moved. They finally moved us from the 5 bedroom we were given(actually 6 with the hidden room, which would have allowed the couple that ended up booking a separate 1 bed suite across the resort because they said they didn't have a 6 bedroom to stay with us) to 2 side by side 3 bedroom villas. Things improved at this point!!! My main complaint for this resort is that with it being a timeshare there are multiple levels. Owner, members, guest, guest of memeber/owner. Again that is fine but I do not think that they are transparent with the members about what their guest will receive when they book through them. We didn't have access to about half of what was listed. So I think transparency from the resort is main issue here. 2nd issue is they actually treat you differently if you do not have on an owners bracelet. We saw this 1st hand as the couple I mentioned earlier booked through an owner. We have Member Guest bracelets. AGAIN I do not think Jim intentionally misrepresented. I think they have failed to inform him of what to tell his guest to expect. On a good note the cleanliness FOOD were amazing! That gets 5 stars! Thank you again Jim!

Best vacation ever
This was one of the best vacations we ever had. The Villa was spectacular. We had our own private pool with waterfall. We had our own golf cart to get around, which was very helpful. It was More than we could of imagined. The house keeper/Chef was amazing, she prepared an excellent breakfast every morning and brought beautiful flowers. The villa was kept very clean and pool was kept up with every day. We had complimentary drinks and fresh fruit every day at the villa. The resort was very beautiful and very large. It had everything for the whole family. I would highly recommend staying at the villa and going to OceanWorld. Jim was very responsive to all my texts and had everything handled perfectly. He is a very gracious host. I will definitely be booking another trip with Jim.

Jim was amazing from begining to end, he really was always available to help us out as much as he can on his end. This is a resort, you dont get what you see in the pictures. The management team are only accomadating if you buy a timeshare. We didnt get the ocean world tickets and didnt get the 6 or 5 bedroom house we originally booked. They split us into 2 diff homes. This does NOT reflect Jim it was out of his control. Thank you Jim for doing your best. Lifestyle resort should treat all guests equally. We loved it and were looking to buy a house but after the way lifestyle staff treated us we were turned off.

Just a few negatives .. 1) AC was not working in a few rooms. 2) No VIP bracelet .. not a problem since most VIP places were closed due to Covid Overall the property was great.

Some good and some not so good
Pros -great communication with owner. Jim was VERY responsive and nice to deal with. -beautiful grounds, very lush and well taken care of -very nice beaches -excellent employees, happy and smiling and very friendly -delicious home cooked breakfasts and wonderful women cooks CONS -very outdated villas- broken furniture in Villa 21 including outdoor chairs. Daughter almost hurt herself when of the legs broke off -45 minute wait in shuttle on arrival- suggest they take less people per shuttle runs -45 minute wait to check in- very inefficient. Get bracelets that open doors like Nikelodean in Punta Cana. -no golf cart provided and had to wait average 15 min for shuttles anyplace we wanted to go -LOUSY LOUSY WINE served in every restaurant -LOUSY LOUSY WINE offered as FREE wine. With DR being close to ARGENTINA, get some great Argentinian wines from Mendoza -Trapiche, Mexican restaurant was SO LOUSY- NOT AUTHENTIC at all and salsa and guacamole were jar. Served chips vs real tortilla chips... COME ON! -very weak drinks in all bars -VERY LOUD music on Sunday guest party. Get rid of that. It's not needed and keep all restaurants open. Allow us to select the restaurants vs concierge pick them... -Grand-daughters had chicken at VIP Gourmet and both got VERY ILL- vomiting and high temperature -first villa (48) had a major leak in the bathroom. They moved us to Villa 21 which was right next to restaurant garbage dumpster. Heard bottles breaking all day/night plus horrible smell. -Dirty spa facilities- saunas and jacuzzis... -waited almost 2 days for liquor package to be delivered. Only good thing was Vodka. No Tequila offered and horrible wines which we threw out. -SLOW VIP service answering phones
