\u201cThe Dominican Republic has a cultural aspect that no other Caribbean Island has. It’s the first place that Columbus found in the new world right, so there’s that historical element.\u00a0 It’s the second-largest island in the Caribbean so, there are different things to see from the mountains. to the beaches to the lagoons, to the territories, and how locals cook and live.\u00a0 But the best part in my opinion as to why this island is so special is because of the friendliness of the Dominican population. They’re so friendly and not to say other islands are friendly but I think they’re overly friendly and make you feel right at home. So, when it comes to traveling and going on vacation, these are big qualities to look for\u201d. -Anthony Malone\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COVID-19 caused quite a stir around the world. In 2020 none of us could have ever dreamed that we would all come to a complete halt and life as we know it would be changed forever. For the past two years, the world has tried to get back to a sense of normalcy and return to the way things used to be, however, things have changed, and because of all that has happened during the pandemic, everyone now wants to live life as happy as they can. One thing on a lot of people’s bucket lists is traveling and now thanks to COVID testing and vaccines people have begun jet-setting across the world. The purchase of passports is now at an all-time high as living life and traveling to the fullest seems to be the name of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing safe is one of our number one priorities here at Lavish Elite Luxury Vacation. We make sure that our properties are safe and sanitized before, during, and even after each guest leaves. We never want anybody to come onto our properties and feel unsafe after all the names of our properties are lavish, elite, and luxury, all three words that describe the total experience. Yes, of course, the pandemic has forced us to change some of the things that we do but at our core, we are still giving you a time to remember. From the moment we pick you up at the airport and you get to see the beauty of the North Coast on the way to the property, to the moment you are greeted at the door upon arrival. We are giving you vacation in every sense of the word. We like to make sure that when you Instagram your experience and you tell your friends about our property that is an honest and delightful time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malone describes the North Coast of the Dominican Republic, Puerto Plata as the gem that is rarely seen, he says<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPuerto Plata is the gem of the north coast of the Dominican Republic. Of course, you always hear about Punta Cana and Puerto Vallarta which are also amazing places on the island, but there is something very special about the North Coast. The locals will tell you that they have a better appreciation for life they will tell you it’s in the taste of the food, the mountain views, and just the feel of the environment.  Don\u2019t get me wrong we turn up and have fun as well, but we actually are a relaxing area on the island where people really prioritize the quality of life. When you come to our property you get to enjoy the locals with the dining and food, the beach, the music, and the culture which are all very important when going on vacation. Here with Lavish Elite Luxury Vacations, we take that quality of life seriously, leaving you wanting to stay for more\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes Lavish Elite Luxury Vacations stand out among the rest? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you come to our properties, we want to give you an experience. From the time you enter until it\u2019s time for you to leave, we pride ourselves on ensuring that you feel good. We are unlike any other vacation spot on the island, and I know that that might sound a bit odd to say but we honestly are the best at what we do. The funny thing is most people rarely hear about what Puerto Plata as a whole has to offer so when they come, we give them the wow factor from the chefs and the food that they prepare right in the kitchen, to the atmosphere, to the d\u00e9cor, to the excursions on the island and even the pampering the day before you leave, we give you the ultimate in a luxury vacation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
