Absolutly beautiful. I don't know about the quality of the one in Puerto Plata, but the one in Sosua is excellent

Don't buy the time share.

It's some sort of pseudo time-share, but they won't state it is. They drive around Sosua in golf-carts picking up straggling tourists for a tour and sales pitch of their property. I believe they are selling "memberships" around $4,500+ and then you will have access to rooms/suites at a discounted rate. The rooms are very very nice, includes several bedrooms, flat screen, open bar, and AI. Just google Lifestyle's Resort and you could check out their brochure.

Whilst I have never been there myself, I recently met 3 couples on a flight back from POP, one of whom had bought into the timeshare some time ago.
They raved about the place in every respect and I think they mentioned 5 or 6 bedrooms, an equal number of bathrooms and a private chef.

I know they also do airport transfers from POP airport via helicopter.

If you mean the Lifestyles, that is on Playa Cofresi, The hotel isn't terrible, but the food pretty much is..... All of those perks mentioned are for the people that have bought into the time share, or V.I.P. If you are just a regular paying guest, you will be hounded day and night by the timeshare "goons". As much as I love Cofresi, there isn't alot to do there. But if the price is right, you might want to give it a try....

We've been to LHVC numerous times. Over the years, the food has improved - they have a new F&B manager and he has definitely made a positive difference! The staff is attentive and always eager to please. I would recommend LHVC to everyone.

I stayed there 2 years ago. it is pretty and very large. Unless you rent a golf cart, you must wait for the bus. Food is typical of any all inclusive.

It is isolated but enjoyed my stay. I now own a condo in cabrete which is more to my liking.

The one in Sousa is absolutely beautiful, walking distance to everything and would suggest this one over Puerta Plata.
