While staying at the lifestyle crown villas, we experienced wonderful hospitality and great service. The villas are very relaxing and comforting. I would recommend your vacation getaway to all my friends. The only suggestion I may offer is that you offer more turkey products, ie, turkey breakfast sausage, turkey burgers. My husband had a difficult time finding things that were suitable for his diet.

We were a party of 6 staying in a 3 bed villa. We arrived late at night but were quickly checked in. The next moring a rep for the resort came by to check up on us. We expressed concerns about paint fumes in the villa. It was just remodeled. She moved us the next morning which kinda bummed me out because the deign of this villa was fabulous. Better than the one we moved to. I also told her about not getting the flowers and bottle of rum I was promised for one of the couples as it was their honeymoon. She said that our villa was given to someone else who arrived before us but she would have it in our new villa. Never saw either of those items. But we did find a rat in the kitchen that didn't pay for it's share of the villa. The private pool was awsome. Just the right temp. all day and night. Carol, our maid that cooked and cleaned, was fantastic. Lots of remodeling gowing on around resort, but it wasn't really intrusive. Food was decent. My biggest dislike was that everything closed early as far as pools and bars. Like 6:00 PM. But we had a good time anyway. Would give

I am writing from the lifestyle crown villa ...... i couldnt wait til i go home to do it...im still here. First off...i did an rci exchange...i came with 5 other people...so it cost us 600 per person for 7 days which totals 4200 in usa dollars. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE VILLA. !!!!CAUTION!!!! WHAT U SEE ON THE INTERNET IS NOT WHAT U GET IF YOU ARE NOT A LIFESTYLE MEMBER. Our maid Maritza was great...didnt speak english but she came and cook breakfast for us everyday. The problem that we had was everybody got sick from the cooking. Dont eat the cheese. We are so tired of the cooking that we paid a cab to take us to the local super market and we cook ourselves which is fine...everybody is starting to regulate now. The cab cost about 30 to 35 dollars total. Be smart buy n cook ur own food. The buffet is sickening. The exercise room is smashed...equipment is old n dirty. the vip pool and beach is great but u have to get up early to claim ur bed with a book or something. we didnt mind not having a golf cart because the walking is great exercise and i lost at least 5lbs. from being sick and walking. The vip party was nice...old music though. tooo old they played ymca by the village men. The pool that comes with the villa is what makes the vacation worth while. you also get free internet...so if you dont want a large bill at the end of your stay ither use free email or text via internet. ONE OTHER THING if you plan to go with a group make sure your group have their money to do excursions and want to do the adventures you want to do...broke vacationers that travel with you make for a boring vacation.

So we stayed here as a guest of a member for the first two weeks of July. Our villa was among the older ones, comfortable, nice AC unit, with a FANTASTIC pool even for our toddler. Our maid was the best, as was the pool guys, and the shuttle drivers. We were able to get a cart for an extra $100/week. However, our check-in took 3 HOURS because they could never finish one checkin before starting another. The entire facility is horribly inaccessible for wheelchairs. REMEMBER, as VIP guests you MUST call the day before at 9AM to make dinner reservations for the following day. A fact that they forget to tell you. The buffet was OK, Indochine on VIP night was acceptable. Bellini's is great whatever the day or time, Blue Lagoon has great food but the service is HORRIBLY slow. The VIP Gourmet is the best. Management is what makes this place fail each and every time. The common worker does as best a job as they can, but when you run into a problem, management is ALWAYS unresponsive. Our phones never worked from villa to villa to elsewhere on site to internation receiving or dialing. The show on Thursday night at the Casino is a joke and lame compared to REAL shows in Vegas or in CT. The Sunday welcome party is just too crowded, loud, and hot. Internet service is horrible with the exception of marginal acceptibility in the VIP World pool area along the back beds.

We've been to better all-inclusive resorts in Central America for the same amount of money. We won't be back.
