Corporate Overview

Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club (LHVC) was developed by a group of Austrian Investors in 1995, beginning with the construction of the Hacienda Hotel in Puerto Plata, on the Dominican Republic’s North Coast.

The vacation club product, Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club, began in 2002 with 200 members and today, in 2009; there are more than 6,000 LHVC members. It offers an array of membership options to fit most budgets and individual needs which has made it a popular option for many families over the years.

LHVC has created a one-of-a-kind V.I.P membership, where exclusive facilities and services are offered only to these members, including restaurants, bars, swimming pools, lounge, beach area, golf cart, limousine and helicopter transfers, and more. Plus, the company has created a unique accommodation product of spectacular standalone, Mediterranean-style Villas that offer private swimming pool, cook and house cleaning in designer appointed 3-7 bedroom sprawling, home away-from-home type accommodations. These types of accommodations and services are so popular that the company continues to expand this line with future phases of suites and villas already underway to meet the growing demand.

Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club was presented in July 2009 with five prestigious Puerto Plata hotel industry awards during the 7th Annual “From Hotels in Hotels” Award Ceremony held at the Ocean World Park Marina & Casino with 400 hotel industry guests and regional tourism officials in attendance. The program is hosted annually by Leonardo Medrano, producer of the Puerto Plata television program, “From Hotels in Hotels” to honor professionals and institutions in the tourism sector who are a commendable example in the country, and especially in Puerto Plata. LHVC received two top awards of the evening, “Gold of the North Coast” for diversity and quality of its resort as well as ongoing transformation in new projects in Puerto Plata, and “Hotel Investment of the Year for 2008.” Three LHVC employees were honored for outstanding dedication and professionalism, including the resort’s hotel manager, human resources director and food and beverage director.
