The hotel complex boasts over 1,160 rooms consisting of  two hotels, The Tropical, which is the essence of a true tropical experience in a resort on the beach, with Mediterranean buildings 3 stories high. It has 282 spacious rooms, divided into 229 tropical rooms, most with ocean views and 53 junior suites.

The other hotel is the Cofresí Palm Beach, which is the most recent building in the complex, with 468 exquisitely decorated units, from Spa Suites for adults only, to family rooms, located between the beach and numerous swimming pools.

The resorts Presidential Suites, with 160 units, 53 of these with three bedrooms, is the luxury suite concept of the complex, these unique units have elements beyond comparison, in a luxurious and elegant accommodation experience.

From being innovators of luxury transfers to and from the resort to the continuing growth and construction of our villas, the company is innovative and always moving with the times”.

When asked what makes the Lifestyle resorts different to others Mr. Wischenbart’s answer was direct, “we take the best staff, create the best accommodations and VIP communal areas and deliver the best service….the combination of these elements is what makes Lifestyle a truly unforgettable experience”
