The Lifestyle Tropical Beach Resort & Spa is the essence of a true tropical beachfront resort. The buildings are low rise Mediterranean style set amongst Caribbean style thatched roofs and cobblestone walkways. The resort comfortably blends with the surrounding mountain ranges and the golden sands of Cofresi Beach. Most of the rooms open to a balcony overlooking Cofresi Beach; others offer spectacular mountain, garden or pool views. Interiors have been furnished very tastefully in soft whites and creams to keep the elegant Caribbean flair. Aromatherapy, seaweed, body wraps, facials and many other beauty treatments for men and women are available at Metamorphosis, the Caribbean largest chain of spas, right in the resort and it is walking distance from the Ocean World Adventure Park, casino and marina. The hotel has 282 rooms, 53 of which are suites, all housed within seven buildings. There is an executive golf course, a private riding school and Lifestyle Holidays own Polo Club approximately one mile from the resort. Puerto Plata is situated on the Atlantic North coast of the island at the foot of the majestic Mount Isabel de Torres. Examples of the brightly painted Caribbean-style houses can be found in the bustling centre and along the seafront boulevard and it is popular for those seeking history, shopping, local excursions and, of course, the opportunity to take a cable car ride to the summit of Mount Isabel de Torres to see the colossal statue of Christ.
