Testimonial

January 17th, 2010

Here is another testimonial from our clients that traveled to Hacienda Lifestyle Resort in November 2009:

Lifestyles Holidays in Puerto Plata are definitely top notch. Our accommodation was a 3 bedroom villa with 3 bathrooms, as well as kitchen, living and dining rooms, a terrace to enjoy our breakfast on prepared by our maid, and our very own pool we swam in at any time. What a beautiful way to start or end our days. The food was excellent whether at the nightly themed buffet or at one of the 5 themed restaurants. The ocean and beach were a must everyday, especially diving into the waves or snorkeling, depending on the day, then relaxing on the beach in a bed with an island drink. The smiling faces of the friendly staff who willingly accommodated our needs made our stay one that we are telling all our friends about. This was our first holiday with Lifestyles in Puerto Plata and definitely won’t be our last.

Dear Mrs. Mondy,
 
As to our conversation the other day, i wanted to also write to you and say how much we enjoyed our vacation to the Lifestyle Hacienda Resort in the Dominican Republic.  We could not have asked for anything better.  The place provided a wonderful atmosphere for relaxing, swimming and just enjoying the tropical weather.  The pools and the beach were just perfect.  The food was plentiful and we really enjoyed their daily effort to make their diet different by creating special food nights, i.e., Dominican night, Italian night, etcetera.  The staff was also very accomodating, kind and very helpful.  i also appreciated bringing into the resort the opportunity to buy products that pertained to the Dominican
Republic, i.e. jewlery, art.  Included with this was  the resorts effort to expose us to the Dominican culture through their food, drinks and folkloric dance.  To see the local young people express their culture and to share that with us through dance and music was excellent. 
 
And may I just add, that the price for all of this was just fantastic.  It really allowed us to enjoy ourselves without going over our budget.  I must say that I am recommending this place to many folks.  It would be perfect for other members of my family.  Thank you Mrs. Mondy for your great help.  You were very helpful and quick to answer all our questions and you truly took interest that we would have a good experience.    Thank you so much and hope to be in touch again in the future.
 
Sincerely,
 
Stephen Carter
