When my group and I arrived (through Nolitours) at A.P. we were checked in within an hour, being served drinks which were nice and tasty. The staff was accommodating and helpful. The staff try hard (and succeed) with doing the best that they can. Our room was basic but pleasant to stay in. The water pressure was decent in the... More

I am going to start off my review on a positive note. The grounds at Allegro Papagayo are really nice, very hilly(they have shuttle stops) but very nice. The staff in my opinion really tries to make the best of what they have to work with. Now on to my review. We arrive at the hotel on Tuesday, June 4th... More

Disappointments: After traveling for hours to arrive at hotel, representative kept us for a long check in that turned out to be a sales pitch for the occidental vacation club. "All inclusive" rate not worth the money-seems bait and switch for selling club. Food poor; bar horrible. Pool very loud with different music playing in different places and loud speaker/microphone... More

We spent three nights in January at this property--we paid for the most expensive room because we were told there were at the bottom of the hill - closest to pool and ocean.

I will preface this review with the fact that it was our first time at an all inclusive resort so while we weren't sure what to expect, my husband and I left extremely disappointed. First, as others have brought up it is in a very secluded location, so unless you have a rental car you are stuck. This wouldn't be... More

My husband and I stayed here for two nights (was supposed to be three) in early June as a part of a travel package we purchased. We had previously been at a lovely hotel in La Fortuna (Magic Mountain) for 3 nights. Maybe if we had visited this resort first we would have not had such a strong negative reaction... More

My husband and I we spend two nights end of May, in this place with a broken bed, malfunctioning toilet, and the screen door to our patio was broken. All you can eat? horrible food, pathetic drinks and they close the snack bar so.. is not all you can eat ... Sorry but this place is a nightmare.

This is a beautiful hotel! If you want somewhere to get away and relax this is the place. It's right on the beach!! The views are so beautiful, that alone was enough to make me want to go back. The staff is very friendly, making your stay a very comfortable one. The only issue we had was the comforters. They... More

The problem is one of central planning vs the market. Let me explain. For an "all-inclusive" package, you get no internet (not even in the lobby or kiosks in the lobby -- those cost $4 for 20 minutes), stale bread, mediocre food, mediocre well drinks, a run-down room with ants, uncomfortable beds, stale chips with not enough nacho cheese, and...
