This was our worst vaction ever! We were so looking forward to it, but ended up being bitterly disappointed. We went through RCI and still paid a fortune for 6 people for the terrible experience we had. We had a 3 bedroom villa, which looked beautiful, but had so many problems. Our airconditioning never worked our whole vaction, we had... more

Lovely villa on a great resort with the benefit of a good value all-inclusive package. Villa was spacious with a good sized pool and all the facilities that you need. Only thing that I would say is that you aren't guaranteed to get the villa in the photo, but they are all of a similar size and standard. Maid service... more

Upon arrival at the resort, there was confusion, due to a reporting error of the size of our party, (which was provided on 3 separate occasions) to be 3 adults. This obviously caused significant problems, due to fact that the resort was expecting a... more

We booked through an owner, a 3 BR villa. Villa The villas was not a newer villa but in decent shape. Everything worked and no need for immediate repair. The beds are very uncomfortable as well as the furniture. You will go home with a sore back. In fact the beds on the beach were more comfortable than the villa... more

I must say reading some of the previous reviews scared me a little. I had already booked our February vacation there, and after reading on this site, I had no idea what kind of trip I was in for. We arrived to the nicest reception. We were offered drinks upon our arrival, and there was no wait to check in.... more

We returned last Saturday morning, March 15th, from our trip to Lifestyle Crown Villas in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. We booked this through an owner which was a wonderful experience. I must say I was skeptical but everything was just as I expected. I was the one who booked the trip for all four couples so I was a little... more
