Lifestyle Tropical Beach Resort & Spa All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at Lifestyle Holidays Resort in Tropical Building 5, and as always, it was clean, practical, and so much fun. The food was excellent—Casablanca never disappoints, and the steak at Blue Lagoon was absolutely perfect.
My favorite thing about this resort is the staff. They truly make the experience unforgettable. Danny and Rachelle at the VIP beach bar are wonderful and always welcoming. The chef at Zen is incredibly talented. We lounged on the beach beds most days during our two-week stay, and Estalin at the pool knew exactly which bed I liked—he had it ready as soon as he saw us every day.
At Casablanca, Jackie and Oscar were amazing. They remembered what we drank every morning and night, which made us feel so cared for. Carlos from the spa gave us a great deal, and we enjoyed the steam room daily along with fantastic massages.
We did water aerobics every day and joined in fun games with Black Panther, Brown Sugar, and Bongino—always a great time. Everyone truly made us feel like family, and we can’t wait to return.
A special shout-out to Churros, the Mexican restaurant just outside the resort—amazing food and staff as well. Lifestyle really pampers you and makes you feel at home.

"The check-in process was a bit tedious, but that was due to Expedia, not the hotel. To keep a positive experience, the hotel staff was very kind and upgraded us to a beautiful room. We were a family of four, including a 7-year-old child, and each of us had our own bed and private bathroom, which was excellent.
Everyone was very friendly and welcoming, from the front desk staff to the waiters, and especially the bar staff. The entertainment was excellent; the girl who organized the karaoke had great charisma and energy.
The weather was on our side, with sunny days throughout our stay. The food at the Blue Lagoon restaurant was delicious . we absolutely loved it.
The entire resort staff is humble, respectful, and very kind.
Recommendations:
• I didn’t really like the “guagua” shuttle; I think a large golf cart would look better and feel more comfortable.
• At the bars, drinks were often served in plastic cups, which takes away from the presentation. However, at the beach they used nicer cups, and we were able to take great photos there."
BlueBay Villas Doradas - Adults Only - All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"We stayed there from 12/07 to 12/13. The staff was super friendly and they’re working hard! Everyone is smiling and trying to help you. The rooms were cleaned everyday
Entertainment shows were great and fun!
Overall great resort.
The ceiling fan needed to be fixed and the staff member fixed it the same day within an hour,
Cute little resort , adults only. Would highly recommend it to my friends. "
"Where do I begin to express my delight at finding this beautiful resort at the suggestion of a friend the day before I arrived. I found the beautiful king size bed too hard for me, but I slept on the futon quite comfortably, and the housekeeping noticed and continued to make up that bed for me instead. The mediterránean and Brazilian dinners were excellent, and all meals were quite enjoyable. Staff were so friendly and very helpful. Even calling to check on me after I had arrived in my room to see if everything was all right. The decir is a little bit dated, but does not attract from the enjoyment of this lovely resort. It actually reminds me of a Grand Bahia Principe I stayed at last winter! I will definitely recommend Marien to my friends, and hopefully be back someday myself. Muchas gracias!"
