Hotels near Victoria ‘s party, Puerto Plata

Un millón de gracias al grupo de empleados de Lifestyle Tropical Resort. Desde los guardias de seguridad, Teresa la Señora que hace la limpieza de las habitaciones , al equipo completo de Harmony Beach, el servicio al cliente fue sumamente VIP. Gracias por ser la diferencia del resort y por tratar a nuestro grupo de 23 como familia. Nos veremos pronto. SON EXTRAORDINARIOS ♥️♥️♥️♥️

The masseuse Suma at the Cofresi Spa at the Lifestyles Holidays Vacation Resort performed the very professional and high quality level of service seldom found these days. She is outstanding and my wife and I are looking forward to our next stay over and getting another massage plus some other services. Note the staff overall was excellent also!!

Excellent preparation. The staff was very kind, friendly, helpful, the varieties of food were very nice and excellent, everything was very nice, the restaurant was very clean, the rooms were very clean, the entire pool, the warm water was the best for me.

The rooms, grounds and staff are very nice. Jonathan (doorman and bellhop) was superb. He found tennis ground for us to play across from the hotel in the golf course grounds at the last minute. He made our last day very pleasant. However, I will not give a 5 star review because we had a very unpleasant experience. We were at the deck dining area, which is outdoors next to the beach. WE were the only guests dining at that moment because it was very hot and other guests were dining inside in the air conditioned room. My husband wore a shirt that he left unbuttoned ( it is worth repeating that we were alone there, and that the shirt was on). This caught the eye of the person in charge (owner or chairperson) who was eating lunch with some relatives (a baby and a couple). The man, was wearing shorts and a dilapidated white undershirt and sandals, and the wife was wearing bedroom sleepers and shorts. This happened in the more formal/air conditioned dining room. I can understand that Casa Colonial is entitled to whatever protocol of dress they deem proper, however, if my husband was not allowed to wear a shirt (by the way a designer shirt) just because it was opened, then these rules and regulations should be written and shared with the guests prior or upon arrival and applied to EVERYONE. Both my husband and I felt very embarrassed and frankly offended at our age to be scolded in this manner. WE have traveled the world and abide by rules and regulations of each place we visit, but it seems to us that this incident was uncalled for. It was more disturbing because the next day in the same dining area, there was a pretty woman wearing her bikini top bathing suit and sandals and nobody asked her to put on a shirt and cover herself. So I wondered if this was either ageism or gender discrimination rigidly imposed on my husband. Carmen Vazquez

Pros: beach front, easy access to the beach, tranquility around the lounge beach chairs. Friendly staff Cons: hotel is dated, shower was too small. There were cucarachas coming off the AC vents. Staff came to address it right away, however. There are not elevators and it is difficult to bring luggage to 2nd and 3rd floors. The place was not design for people with mobility issues. Also people are allowed with dogs unleashed. One small dog came after me. When I approach the dog’s owner to ask if he could put his dog on a leash, he became belligerent, disrespectful, and a kind of racist. The hotel staff watched and did nothing. When I ask for the manager to complaint I was told she was on vacation (?) when I ask for whoever was in charge, I was also told that person was also unavailable. It was frustrating and disappointing as that was a safety issue that remained unaddressed.
