  Not what was sold to us

  I will never return that is for sure. Entry doors locked and opened when they felt like it. Couldn't slide open closet door. Patio door wouldn't lock and while trying to close it, metal came off the glass. The ceiling leaked in our entry way. We had to put towels down. The sink was all marked up and no stopper for drain. 1 towel and 1 hand towel a day. Shower drain was high so the water ran into the bathroom. No liquid soaps in the shower. Large amounts of mold in the closet. Ceiling fan ran constantly because there was no switch and the chains were not reachable. The sheets and 1 thin blanket were not any type of quality. It took us 3 hours to settle in because we had to keep moving rooms cause they were so bad. We were exhausted and settled for this room. As bad as it was, we took it because it was the best of all they showed us. They offer a shuttle service to get to restaurants but good luck getting on cause it seats 10 and your packed like sardines. I was ready to leave day 4 of 7.

  Beautiful Resort

  We became members of this resort in 2019. We then upgraded to VIP level in 2022. We have never been given a Jr Suite which is what was in our contract. During our week there in early 2925 it took them 4 DAYS to get a toilet plunger to our room. 4 DAYS of using the poolside bathrooms and others. That is terrible service. Our room phone NEVER WORKED unless they wanted to call us. We had to constantly go over to #1 Tower to get anything done about our room. Which included, no working toilet, flood during rain, hot water only 1 day, refusal to restock water and pop in our room fridge. They have now raised the rates to over double, it's astronomical for the poor, terrible service, the lack of concern for you, etc. The concierge assigned to us who called never came through with any of her promises. We'll probably never stay there again because we can't afford it and there are plenty of other resorts in this country at the sane price point which are better, 4 star and even 5 star rated. This place is a 3 at best.

  Very small, no choices, no chairs or shade on the beach.

  I wouldn’t recommend going to Lifestyle Tropical Beach Resort. The Tropical itself is a very small territory, the amenities are very limited, there are no choices and no easy way to the beach. No chairs, no shade on the beach. No coffee bar, you can have a coffee only in the buffet on breakfast. There is no ice cream (important if you are with kids) - at all, nowhere, even not in the buffet. A pool is fine for kids but there is not enough loungers and most of them are in the direct sun, no shade. There are only few umbrellas. The loungers are placed so tight to each other that it is difficult to get on and off it and you have a stranger next to you within your personal space, who can be loud or unpleasant. Access to the beach is not welcoming, you have to walk through the “VIP” zone, with a security guard and a note that only VIP and members can go there, but it is the only way to the beach. There are some beds overlooking the beach but those few with a tent above it are all taken, and the rest few without a tent are in the direct sun without any shade at all, they are mostly empty. While walking across this tight VIP area with the beds you walk past staff moving around there and feel that you are intruding, doesn’t make it to want to go to the beach again, too much hustle. We were offered only one a la carte restaurant at 7 pm, the other two were available at 9 pm which was too late for us. The buffet is large, the food is good, but the service was hit and miss. Some waiters were attentive but with some we felt that we are invisible, no coffee or drinks offered. We did left tips. The room was very nice, well cleaned, but with crazy design elements. There is no regular washroom. There is a shower enclosure just next to the bed, and a separate toilet stall. The walls to the shower enclosure and the toilet stall are made of (supposedly) non-transparent glass which is, however, not enough non-transparent. Good there is a balcony where non-involved people can wait. We normally go to evening shows in resorts but in this place the show is somewhere away and starts at 9:30 pm, too late. I don’t know what level of service we had with our bracelets, nobody explained it to us. I tried to find the WestJet rep for the information meeting, was told by the bus driver and then reception about different times (9:30 am, 10 am, 10:30 am, “around 11 or 1 pm, or 2:30 pm”) for the first meeting but didn’t see him after couple of attempts and stopped trying. The feeling that you cannot go there and there does not add to the good impression. Overall, we would not return, we are usually looking for some quite time to spend on the beach in the shade, and it is not the place.

  0 stars if I could

  Well check in took longer than it should have. They knew we were coming we had 4 couples with us . 8 kids under the age of 10 . All having to wait for bracelets. We told them the times we’d like our dinner because of the children. They gave us 9 pm seatings and not our preference of choice for dinner restaurants. In fact they gave us the ones that we said we did not want. Eventually we got one of them changed to the Mexican restaurant. We got there and they said our time was not 6 it was at 9 pm . We told the hostess (I can’t recall her name -but she was very rude). She told us to move out of the way so others could get in which we weren’t blocking them but we moved down . Eventually we got to go in and she told us we were taking someone else’s table but they reservation was for 8 so we have 2 hours to eat then we had to leave . We would have done sooner but they were late to bring us drinks and our food. Once we were done we did get done 5 before 8 and as we’re leaving we saw the group talking to the hostess and she pointed to the table we were at and then us as to say sorry your table was ready for you but that group there took it and that’s why it’s dirty. I have been to the DR for more than 20 years and I’m glad that I met other Dominicans before these one because they give a bad rep to them. The last thing was this lady at the real estate office yelled at the kids . The kids were touching the water well we waited for some of our group. She could have spoke kinder to the children. Also the golf carts weren’t ready and they were bad but if you’ve been there before you know they give the crappy ones to the groups they choose unless your are willing to continue to buy up. And yes if i could do 0 stars I would

  Timeshare & scam

  In the airport they offer u a free day-trip to see their Oceanworld water park "to see if you would like to visit next year" you then have to pay a deposit of $40USD which you do not get back unless you follow through and go to visit their site although they do provide a taxi there and back the moment you get there they butter you up with a free visit to a buffet and mamajuana which u can't even bring over the border, they then drag you around their barren resort into multiple rooms and villas with the weirdest layouts where they pressure you into spending minimum $5k USD on the spot refusing to offer business cards as they're "unprofessional." The entire place is scam littered with payed actors that try and convince you into spending as much money as possible going as far as to ask how much you have available on ur credit card at that moment 😂😂
