My girlfriend and I stayed at the brand-new Maxim Bungalows between Feb. 20-27, 3008, and couldn't believe how stylish and beautiful this resort is.

The suites are equipped with state-of-the-art appliances (stainless steel kitchen, flat-screen TVs, jacuzzi) and furnished with contemporary Mark Davis furniture. The pool area is set up to look like a South Beach lounge, and the restaurant, Social, looks like it was airlifted straight out of Beverly Hills. No expense was spared to make this the nicest resort in the Dominican, if not the entire Caribbean.

The rooms and common facilities are top-notch -- nicer than anything I've seen on previous trips -- but what really sets this place apart from other resorts is the SERVICE. Everyone, from the manager, to the concierge, to the bellboys who drive you anywhere you want to go in golf carts, greets you with a friendly smile and asks if there is anything they can do to make your stay more enjoyable. We were blown away by their warmth and professionalism.

Even the adjacent sister property where we spent most of our days, Sun Village, was fantastic. Although it's listed as a four-star resort, the facilities, food and service well exceeded our expectations. It's an incredible value for families or travelers not looking for the exclusivity of Maxim.

Those looking for a relaxing holiday in luxurious tropical surroundings would be hard-pressed to find a nicer destination than Maxim Bungalows.

I just returned from a one week stay at the Maxim Bungalows in Cofresi (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic. The overall experience was simply incredible and far exceeded my expectations.

We stayed in the 2 bedroom grand bungalow which was absolutely immaculate. The decor and facilities of this suite were modern and of very high quality. It is evident that in the design and construction of these bungalows, so much attention was paid to details. The terrace was very spacious and had a great view.

The overall service of the staff at the resort was extraordinary. The cleaning staff did a fantastic job and tidied our room several times each day. The entertainment staff at the neighbouring Sun Village Resort was very friendly and made every effort to involve all guests. I have not a single complaint about any service related issues.
Everyone was extremely warm and welcoming, and did their best to make our experience unforgettable. As a guest at Maxim, we were given the upmost VIP treatment.

The grounds of the resort are very well manicured and maintained. Since the grounds are so large, golf carts were always readily available for transportations throughout the resort.

We dined at the neighbouring Sun Village Resort. The food was great overall, and my personal favourite restaurants were the Japanese and Mexican cuisines.

Overall, an incredible experience. I highly recommend the Maxim Bungalows to travellers. I am looking forward to planning my next vacation to Maxim.

Stayed at Sun Village Cofresi and previewed the Maxim Bungalows. Incredible!!! Luxury amenities, apartment styling. Walking distance to Ocean World, but the friendly staff will gladly get transportation for you if you need it.

Can't wait for the grand opening! I plan to be there!
