We write this review a year after our visit, with two additional trips to Cuba under our belts since, which have given us greater perspective on Occidental Allegro. We came to Playa Dorada for a relaxing vacation, an early escape from Canada's winter. We arrived January 1, 2009 and were immediately charmed by the lobby entrance, the indoor walkway to... more

This hotel was our first trip to the Caribbean and it was excellent. It gave us the Caribbean bug. The hotel was lovely. There were some things that weren't probably the best, like banging the wall to get the air con to work but everything else more than made up for it. The staff and people were so friendly and... more

Incredible staff: The staff at this hotel made our stay! One of the waitors, Jose, was a delight. He always had a table for us in the buffet during breakfast, brought us our drinks to the beach, and always had a humane smile on his face. The gentleman outside the buffet, every morning, making churros was a high to my... more

Well...I must say I had a great time at this resort. I'm not very picky though. The resort had everything I was looking for: good service (minus the busy local weekend), good food, a great beach, pleasant beach vendors, a clean room everyday, nice landscape and last but certainly not least cute staff (important to me)..hilarious. There were six of... more

I recently stayed at the Occidental Allegro Playa Dorada from April 27th to May 4th. I went with my boyfriend and my parents. The hotel was closing the day we left for renovations and I hope they make some improvements. We got lucky and got rooms in the 6th building which is apparently the newest and we were on the... more

My Husband and I, along with friends, visited this magical resort from the 13th to the 21st of April. With this being the first holiday for my husband and myself, we read a few of these reviews before we flew out. Now, I wish I hadn't!! It seems to me, that only the people who have nothing better to do... more
