The Crown Villas at LHVC Resort

The Resort and Its Setting

Crown Villas at LHVC Resort is one of the villa-style accommodation groups within the wider Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club in Puerto Plata, on the Dominican Republic's Atlantic coast. Puerto Plata — "Silver Port" — has been a Caribbean holiday mainstay for decades, and the resort's position puts owners close to the coastline, the city centre, and the airport, without being buried deep in a resort zone. As a vacation club property, it operates on a timeshare ownership model: owners hold a week (or weeks) and can return annually, exchange through RCI, or make the week available to other travellers.

Puerto Plata: Things to Do Nearby

Puerto Plata gives owners and renters plenty to fill a week beyond the resort grounds. Playa Dorada, the area's best-known beach, is a short drive away with calm, swimmable water. The Teleférico cable car climbs above the city for views over the coastline and the mountains behind it, while Fort San Felipe, a 16th-century colonial fortress, anchors the historic downtown near Parque Central, where local restaurants and shops cluster around colonial-era buildings. For a longer outing, the Damajagua Waterfalls — 27 cascades with natural swimming holes — make a popular half-day trip into the jungle interior. Between the beach, the old town, and the waterfalls, the area suits both relaxed beach weeks and more active, outdoorsy stays.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Crown Villas at LHVC Resort and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to get your ad live, and we don't take a cut of your sale — 0% commission, however much it sells for.

Because this resort belongs to the Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club network, any resale typically needs to go through the club's own transfer process rather than a simple private handover, so before you agree a price with a buyer, confirm directly with Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club: the current transfer fee, whether the club holds a right of first refusal on resales, how long the transfer process usually takes, and the current annual maintenance fee. These details affect what a buyer is actually acquiring and should be disclosed upfront in your listing — buyers will ask, and sellers who have the figures ready close deals faster.

A resale buyer generally receives the week itself and RCI exchange access once the transfer is completed in the club's name; they do not automatically inherit any club-level perks, point balances, or promotional extras tied to the original purchase, so it's worth being clear in your listing about exactly what is and isn't included.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters researching Crown Villas at LHVC Resort tend to ask about the specific week or season on offer, unit size and sleeping capacity, proximity to the beach and airport transfer options, and whether the booking includes resort amenities. Being specific about the calendar week, the view or villa category, and realistic travel times from Gregorio Luperón International Airport (POP) will help your listing stand out to serious renters.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Puerto Plata is served by Gregorio Luperón International Airport (POP), with the resort reachable from there by taxi, rental car, or independently arranged transport. Winter (November through March) is peak season locally, so weeks falling in that window tend to attract the most interest from renters and buyers planning a northern-hemisphere escape. Owners listing a week should also check whether their membership documents specify which weeks or seasons are included, as this directly affects resale and rental value.
