I would highly recommend Occidental Allegro Playacar. It is an ideal size, great location and very good service. The beach is a little on the thin side but the quality of the sand and amazing blue water make up for it in spades. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. more

We just returned from the Allegro in Playa del Carmen. The place is great as long as you are not expecting a Riu or Hilton. The staff was hardworking and helpful. The grounds were impeccably manicured. Beach was small due to hurricanes but nice. The entertainment staff were superb. I don't know how they did it, doing aqua exercises in... more

The staff at Allegro couldn't have been friendlier or more accomodating. It was a pleasure to speak with them in our broken Espanol and they always responded in good cheer, with humorous attitudes and instructional assistance. The food was almost always top-notch. Can't say that they know how to do Italian in the restaurant, but that is a minor complaint.... more

If you want to spend all day in a chair on the beach with hundreds of others doing the same, pick one of the other hotels to the north or south of this one. If you enjoy moving around a bit more, this is a great place to be based out of. Having saved $1,000 for our family of four... more

Travel to Mexico at least twice a year. This is the first time we returned to a resort we had visited before. Small, quiet and clean with a great staff. The location is close enough to Playa to walk if one is in fairly good shape. In my opinion,the food served is the best I have had in Mexico, be... more

My husband and I booked this as a last minute trip 3 days before our departure. For the price with air, this was a great value. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and the grounds are immaculate. We had a top floor unit that was a perfect distance from the beach and pool area - room 3214. It only... more

This all-inclusive resort is good in every way apart from their rooms. The food was very good. I looked forward to breakfast every morning. Drinks were good and there was never a queue to get a drink. The staff were wonderful, friendly and hard working. Check-in was smooth. There are 2 pools. Tennis, Spanish lessons, ping pong, even a scuba... more

We had a quick stop in Playa and wanted to stay only one night in an all-inclusive. Found this hotel while surfing another hotel's internet in the location we were. Called in route to make reservations, and were told we could only get that low rate on-line, so we had to call family back in the States to book it... more

Location is not a problem for this hotel, it is situated 1.5 km away from the center of Playa del Carmen, so you walk there without a problem, there are other hotels in this area, so you have many others to choose from. We arrived at 2:00 am due to a problem with our flight, so the check in was... more
