Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Puerto Plata

The property is clean and beautiful. The staff is super friendly and helpful, but if you know Spanish it helps even more for smoother communication. I wish we could stay for longer. The villa was big and had washer, dryer and other utensils. They also have a private pool, would definitely recommend this place to more people. It’s also convenient to go to many places from here. Only one thing was - wish they had more restaurants and included breakfast in the package. Overall it was great!

Beautiful location, amazing pool and service. Nice rooms with strong wi fi, good A/C, and comfortable beds. Very secluded and safe near a beautiful beach. Great restaurants nearby and close enough to downtown Puerto Plata and its tourist attractions, reachable by Uber and taxi. Also not too far from the airport.

A beautiful, safe, and spotless resort with outstanding staff. We stayed in a villa, which was absolutely perfect. Parking was seamless. The pool on the property was lovely, and the beach club was exceptional. They even provide a complimentary shuttle, but it’s an easy 10-minute walk if you prefer.

Our stay in Xeliter Green one was pleasant. There are a couple things that could use improvement. First, there was no clear indication on where to eat so we ordered out and it took over an hour to get the food. It would have been helpful to have a list of places to eat within walking distance so we knew there was no need to order out. Also, we weren’t given enough garbage bags so we ended up having to stack garbage on the counter which was obnoxious. Last, Wi-Fi was only usable in the villa, which proved to be inconvenient when we had to communicate with the food delivery to find each other. We had to keep running back inside. Other than those minor issues, the stay was good! The views of the mountains are gorgeous, the pool is huge and was mainly unoccupied. The beach was breathtaking. I would visit again, especially since I’m familiar with what to expect.

Property condition is excellent but in this particular one sun tocuh in front and felleing was hot even with air conditioning. A perma (exterior blackout) curtain is needed. Also, many furniture inside the studio and balcony. Not easy to walk and move inside. Coffee maker not working... Service from Xeliter staff was great (Esther and Felicita specially). Pool area and beach excellent...clean and quiet...

The apartment was beautiful, and the owner clearly thought of everything when preparing it for rent. It had washers and dryers, towels for the pool, towels for use inside the apartment, and even beach chairs (though we didn’t use them, as the beach in front of the apartment isn’t ideal for swimming—maybe just for relaxing and enjoying the breeze). The owner responded to my messages very quickly, making our stay very pleasant.The small pool was lovely and open until late, perfect after a long day of sightseeing. The restaurant in front of the apartment, La Lola, is 100% recommended.

Interior is beautiful and the place is very comfortable and modern

Villa Dona Kika is a beautiful home. The pictures are very accurate, but in person it is even nicer. Everything was very clean, no bugs, no dust. If you like to cook both kitchens and bbq are very well equipped with all the utensils you need, just buy food. The beds are comfortable not worn in. The pool was clean and not over chlorinated. There is a full bathroom with a washer and dryer outside in the pool house as well as an outdoor shower. It is close enough to the beach and restaurants that you could walk. The owners of this property take very good care of it. I felt as though I was in my own home with my family. My family travels from the States twice a year to visit relatives in DR and absolutely will be back!! We highly recommend renting this beautiful Villa.

Beautiful villa and surrounding property. Wet bar by the pool for added convenience. 3 full bathrooms

Tania was very professional and good at communicating. The place was wonderful it has everything you would want in a room and I can’t wait to stay here coming back to sosua

Todo excelente, lo único que no me gustó es que al llegar no tenían mi reserva a pesar de que se había confirmado con una llamada a recepción temprano, fuera de eso me gustó.

The hotel is very well located, the staff is very friendly and the place is very clean. The linen needs some upgrading.

The place has a soul, great ambiance, is life 24/7. The location is fantastic, the owner and people that work there are wonderful, right next to my favorite Parque Central, close to Malecon and with options to buy a breakfast.

Complimentary coffee was provided. I was also included in a staff lunch which was very nice. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The location was walkable to the beach and many attractions.

Very good location and staff, quiet and convenient

Let me start off by saying that we got married here 14 years ago and have seen beautiful new buidlings come up. They have updated many facilities. The highlight for me were the amazing staff members who was always very accommodating and truly serves with a smile. Another highlight was a pool at the presidential suites. It has a cool little waterfall and has cabanas where people should be shielded from the sun and still be comfortable. The breakfast at Blues was quiet, intimate, and delicious. There was even a shuttle that would take us around the different restaurants. I truly loved the experience. The spa was also wonderful. They have Jacuzzi steam rooms, a pool and of course spa services.

We received the best attention from Angélica Hernández, excellent service, good food, good pool, good transportation service and staff in each area visited, only add more drinks at the bars but the service of each employee is good. Everything is fine, thank God.

The pools are beautiful, the service was amazing and the attention to details was great. The food was very tasty, and the bars all had great drinks. Will definitely be returning soon.

The rooms are kept nice and clean. There is adequate service. There are variety of food choices. Nice pools and beaches to enjoy with the family.

I read a lot of reviews on this place before booking. I will say that I regret not booking Cofresi Beach Resort or the Lifestyle Beach Club hotel as they are both actually on the beach and have a better options than the Presidential Suites. That being said, I am not unhappy with my decision. We still had access to all of the other resorts in the Lifestyle compound. We had the option to walk or take the shuttle that between the hotels. Once we knew where we were going, though, we opted to walk as it was usually not too far and then we did not have to tip the driver. I would recommend that you take cash and get DR pesos (100 pesos is like $2 US) for tips for the bartenders and shuttle drivers. It is not required, but they do appreciate it and remember it...and give you better service. I know it should not be that way, but it is what it is. I will also say that I preferred the stay during the week rather than the weekend. It was a LOT less crowded and easier to enjoy the beaches, pools, bars and restaurants. I was a bit confused on the whole eating rules. We were told that we could only make reservations at the restaurants for two nights since we were not "vacation club" members (read timeshare without the maintenance fees and restrictions on travel dates). However, there was always two different buffets to choose from, but they served the same food in both places nightly. We did find the buffets decent, they have cooking stations where you could get cooked to order meals
