Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club, located in Puerto Plata on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic, announces the appointment of Manny Slomovits as Executive Chef. A New York native and graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, Slomovits has over 18 years of international culinary experience in the U.S. and abroad, including five star restaurants and resorts in New York, Florida and the Bahamas. He has served as head chef and luxury private villa chef for private estates and on private yachts sailing in the Caribbean, Canada, the Mediterranean, Africa, Turkey and Egypt and was a gold medal winner for Taste of the Bahamas 2007.
“I love my job. In my role at Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club, I am a chef who is also a teacher, a leader, thinker, artist and problem solver all rolled into one,” Slomovits explained. “When you eat something, it becomes a part of you and there has to be trust that it is going to be a worthwhile experience. That experience is important and I love being the one to direct it at LHVC.”
Slomovits is in charge of designing the dining experience and food quality at all Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club restaurants and in recruiting culinary and food service talent for the resort. “I look for people who love what they do, that bask in the moment of creation and can keep their head in the game,” he said. “Our members and guests don’t see the person who cooked the food but they see them through what is put in front of them and they should take great pride in that.”
The Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club Resort encompasses four distinct products: The Tropical, The Crown Suites, The Crown Villas and The Residence Suites. From hotel accommodations to stand alone villas, all guests have access to five swimming pools, nightly entertainment, spa, beach, tennis and more. Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club VIP Members have access to a “members only” restaurant, bar, swimming pool, exclusive beach area, as well as golf carts, limousine transfers and helicopter tours.
Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club Members, guests and their families have a wide variety of activities available to them in the Dominican Republic’s North Coast. Next door is the Ocean World Adventure Park with its daily animal and aquatic shows plus its signature night-time Las Vegas style show, Bravissimo. Other activities in the area include a cable car ride to the peak of Mount Isabella de Torres, white water rafting, horseback riding, deep sea fishing, boating, snorkeling, monster truck safaris and city tours of Puerto Plata, named in 2008 as one of the 53 best destinations in the world by The New York Times.
