After several years away from it, I return to the wonderful world of travel and hospitality. Allow me to explain…
In my ‘ first life’ I worked in the travel and hospitality industry, for 18 years actually, and I loved it. I met so many interesting people and visited so many magical places. About 5 years ago I wanted a changed so decided to pursue my love of interior design and opened my own business as an Interior Decorator, something I still to do this day and love it. No regrets, but I still love travel and had the idea of combining my two passions through my blogs. Here, I can talk about both design and travel and introduce you to beautiful places and hotels.
In today’s blog I’m taking you to the VH Atmosphere Hotel located in Playa Dorada, in the Dominican Republic, where I recently had the pleasure of visiting
The hotel is aptly named, as the overall ambiance – the ‘ Atmosphere’ – grabs you as soon as you enter the lobby and are welcomed by the friendly and efficient staff. The overall design and decor of the hotel – by the renowned Architect and designer Sara Garcia – is a perfect blend of Caribbean-style and contemporary, with touches of Victotian history of Puerto Plata. It is tasteful, relaxing and chic, the perfect surroundings for your tropical vacation.
One design detail that I really loved was the floor in the reception area and main dining room: beautiful, unique encaustic tiles

You’re immediately welcomed with smiling faces and a tranquil atmosphere
El Lago Buffet
My friend Carl and I enjoyed an excellet meal here. There was a wide variety of excellent choices at the buffet ( I think Carl tried a little of everything!) with seafood, meats, salads, breads, desserts- everything fresh and delicious, and something for everyone.
