How was your trip?

[@Jelaniwaters]

I’m looking at going to this resort, I’ve heard negative things about it via review I’ve read , looks pretty dope and I hate those timeshare people will stalk you for days until you said no 10-20 times

[@AriAbroad]

Honestly it was fine, especially for the price you’re paying. Only negative thing I had to say was those timeshare people being so aggressive and invasive.

[@Jelaniwaters]

@@AriAbroad facts thanks I just booked it for 7days for $500 a good deal with my timeshare 🤷🏾‍♂️ ,I hope the food and drinks are good

Just came back from there. Stay at The tropical. Got the same deal from Groupon.

[@AriAbroad]

Yeah it’s a pretty good deal. First time we did Cofresi which is why we wanted to try out Tropical this time. How’d you like it?

[@MissDanine2u]

Love the video. Did you have to attend a timeshare or anything?

[@AriAbroad]

Thank you! The part about being called multiple times in our room and the guy waiting on us after breakfast was his attempt to drop us off at the timeshare building. I did it the first time when they ask if You want a tour and took me to breakfast, picked me up and left me at the timeshare building. So I didn’t do it this time.

[@RoxanneRoxanne760]

What airport did you go to?

[@DroGotti_]

2 questions please if you don’t mind: 1. Is it smoke friendly? 2. Which one you prefer cofresi or lifestyle?

[@AriAbroad]

Hi! I’m not sure about smoke friendly. I didn’t see any one smoking around me. But I like Cofresi for rooms, The tropical for location. I was told by an employee that the resort actually rents rooms to locals at Cofresi. So when I was there, there were way more locals than guests at Cofresi. The Tropical had more guests than locals. Just depends on your preference. Either way you can shuttle to either restaurants and beaches on either side

[@marilynballesteros9004]

Thanks I was here contemplating

[@AriAbroad]

[@madeofevil7074]

Did you get vip access ? I'm a little bit afraid i don't want to buy then get something else when we get there

[@AriAbroad]

I just used the Groupon. I didn’t get anything extra but Internet. I did ask at the counter if I could upgrade. It’ll be 50/50 chance you can.

[@mybeautifulmonster03]

so the price is only for the room, i am in Groupon reading, meals nor drinks are not included, nor house keeping, I read house keeping is $25 a day, do you know how much the meals were daily or did you have to pay per restaurant

[@AriAbroad]

You have to take into account that this video is a few years old. Many things could have changed. You’re better off calling the resort. At the time of my video everything including food at all restaurants and housekeeping was included.

[@mybeautifulmonster03]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@NinaSharee]

I'm using your video as a guide. I want to plan this for Christmas next year. Planning ahead lol. Would you say this is okay for children?

[@AriAbroad]

Awww that’s such a compliment. Keep in mind it has been a while so things could have changed. There were children and families there but I didn’t see many. Most were locals with their kids that I saw.

[@jamale1211]

Hey, quick question I see that you use Groupon to go to Cofresí resort all inclusive will they charge you for two guest or will it be for one guest under one hotel fee?

[@AriAbroad]

It was for two guests back when I used it. But this was a couple years ago. I’d call and verify.

[@smerrit313]

Question. There are a few different Lifestyle resorts in that area. Why the Holiday one and not the others?

[@AriAbroad]

I honestly just picked the one that Groupon offered

which room did you select when you booked this resort the tropical? I am trying to secure dates now but only see an option for superior garden view- did you select another option to get such a nice room?

[@charliewingate1893]

Good morning Queen, I just have a few questions. Was room service included at either resort, how was the internet service just in case I have to work from while on vacation & what time do the pools close ?

[@AriAbroad]

Good morning! Room service was provided at both resorts ( room cleaning right?). There was wifi but I believe it was extra and I can’t remember how much. However, it was so spotty that I ended up getting international through my phone carrier because the internet kept going in and out and wasn’t great on the beach either

[@chodge8366]

looked a little dead there. Maybe due to covid? Anyway your georgeous and wish I was there when you were. It would have been a vibe😉

You did not reach sosua? Resorts are too inclusive, you need to go and meet the locals, you cannot go and just meet people from your country. They want to bring resort to sosua now sosua might be too much, but this is Disneyland dominacana. Cabarete is a mixture, of local and resorts. Let us save sosua, playa. There needs to a element of excitement and danger. Did you have domican food ? You went to Puerto plata and did not see big bottomed females? Next time touch sosua, it is vibrant.

Mi Tia and my friends are from Puerto Plata and La romana so we don’t just stay on the resort.
