We have stayed at numerous all inclusive resorts, and this one was our least favorite(all of similar star rating). First of all the "unlimited" a la carte bookings is falsely advertised. We were there for two weeks(Jan 13-27), and at first only guaranteed three dinners, they claimed the resort was full and unable to offer any more-even though it's unlimited... More

We just got back from a one week stay at the Confresi Palm. The grounds and lobby are beautiful! The VIP beach is great with the " beach beds" and premier liquor, it is next to the Lifestyles property. There is a variety of entertainment and food selections, complete with a light pool show on Friday. We thought the breakfast... More

I traveled to Puerto Plata and stayed at Cofresi Palm from January 28th-February 4th. We were two 28 year old women looking for a relaxing week away from the winter in Toronto. Prior to leaving we were anxious about our stay because of the horrible reviews that we read. We decided that we were going to go on our vacation... More

My husband and I spent 3 weeks at the Lifestyle Holiday Resort in January 2012 - that being our 5th stay with friends who are club members. Although we did not stay at the Cofresi Palm Resort we did access some of the facilities. Walks thru the area reveal beautiful pools including one for kids as well as one for... More

Just got back from the Cofressi Palm Beach Resort and Spa. I will admit we were very nervous about going after reading all the bad reviews but let me tell you this was one of the best resorts we have been at. We had with us two teens, a nine year old, four adults and 2 seniors with walking disabilities.... More

My entire family arrived with good intentions and a open mind after booking and paying by credit card all in advance. Normally you pay when you leave.a hotel and resort. To start with the front desk was good hardly a wait. We did have to wait til 3pm which is normal. after getting our rooms we quickly noticed that one... More

I went with a group of 7 girls, meeting 5 other friends down at the resort. Not only was I shocked at how nice the resort was (thinking I paid such a low price and was expecting lower standards), the staff was amazing. The Cofresi resort shares restaurants, beaches, pools and bars with the next door Lifestyle resort, so the... More

This was our first trip to this resort. We have gone to a number of other all inclusive resorts and this is one that we would not return to. That being said, we always make the best of what we have while we are there. Let's start off with check in itself. They were very organized and the whole operation... More
