Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Resorts in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
Hello friends, by the time you read this repost from my DeDivahDeals blog, hubby and I will be celebrating our 27th Wedding Anniversary. However, we are not in the Dominican Republic this year but will definitely be heading back there in 2018.
Last week my family and I spent 8 wonderful days in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. When we arrived it was just after a quick rainstorm, however, it was just in time to catch a beautiful sunset.
Wanting to wake up at least one day early to catch a sunrise was one of my goals and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip. Standing alone in the quiet stillness of the morning, watching a Gato (cat) sleep and listening to the birds chirping was a blessed way in which to start a non-work day.
Sitting in silence watching resort employees preparing for their day knowing that my only commute would be a walk down to the beach was wonderful.
Despite the current political conditions in the Dominican Republic, I have to admit that not having been on a vacation since 2009, the DR was definitely a beautiful place to be.
After returning to the room I gathered my men and we walked over to the Casablanca restaurant where we ate from a breakfast buffet complete with Mimosas and Bloody Mary’s (for me).
This was just the beginning of what turned out to be a week long event of overeating and drinking, but thankfully I only gained 3 lbs!
After breakfast, we tried to walk off a few of the calories with a tour of the Lifestyles Holidays Vacation resort. My mini men returned to the room for a little R&R, then hubby and I walked to the VIP beach where we met another couple from Oklahoma at of all places “Wallmart”
After dinner, there was Dominican entertainment followed by another beautiful sunset. Check back in on Friday to see some of the foods and flora in Puerto Plata.
