Lifestyle Hacienda Resort is sheer luxury

Although you expect a holiday to the Caribbean to be vastly expensive, our total outlay was equivalent to an average 7-day med cruise but the standard of living was out of this world.
This isn't time share, it's rental from a holiday club member and you get all the perks that they've bought into. Imagine the choice of 5 high quality restaurants and an extremely good buffet bar to boot - the VIP Gourmet was the best, if you like steak, try the Chateaubriand! Imagine day after day of hot sunshine on a beautiful beach in the lavish VIP area with beds and curtains (not sunbeds) where you can cool down in one of the four spas while the waiter re-fills your glass with another cocktail, champagne or anything you like.
We've just come back from 10 days of bliss over the Easter holiday and after 23 years of holidays abroad, I can truly say that this is one of the few places that I would love to go back to. We loved every single minute of it!
Our pre-teen felt she was too old for the children's club but she was happy reading her books, lounging around and swimming in the sea.
We went on two evening events, both included in the price. VIP BBQ with live band and dancers (extremely good) and a Las Vegas style show at the Casino (also great fun!).
Although we didn't have time to visit Ocean World, it's just up the road and there are many other excursions if that's your thing but we just stayed at the complex because it was just so brilliant.
Our appartment was big enough for three and immaculately clean (as were all areas of the resort) with our fridge stocked with soft drinks, water and beer every day.
I can't praise Lifestyle Vacations enough, their holiday concept is very much a dream come true. One of the best holidays I've every had!
