We were very skeptical, due to alot of the reviews we read on here and we almost cancelled. Boy am I glad we didn't! If you are basically looking for a base where you can do alot of tours from them this isnt the place....yet. There are new tours opening up, but the all day tours are quite aways away... More

I recently spent three days at this resort at the end of a lovely trip around Costa Rica. This was the fourth hotel during the trip and by far the worst. Knowing that this was the least expensive all-inculsive in the area I was not expecting five star service, but this hotel does not meet even the minimum standards of... More

I just got back from Costa Rica after spending the first week of Feb. in Guanacaste province at the Allegro Papaguayo Resort. I had a wonderful time. The resort was clean and the people were very friendly. The food was good. An older establishment, it exceeded my expectations for a three star resort. Rent a car and use this as... More

I recently returned from our trip to Costa Rica between Feb 2nd-9th. I want to begin with the fact that from reading countless reviews I began to feel a little skeptical about this trip but in the end I had a fantastic holiday. I am so disgusted about how many different things people find to complain about. This resort is... More

The Gold Cameleon upgrade is a joke. All rooms the same. We were in #3 so long way to everything, although shuttles good and frequent. Moved to #10, so better! Had to pay $25 for WiFii, available in Lobby and Rest. and I could get it in my room, until one day expired, so had to go back up to... More

Allegro Papagayo on the surface meets what's expected for a resort on the beach. It provides a large pool, bar area, and standard buffet set-up. The food was average (one caveat was the swordfish served on the carving board - delicious!) and drinks were probably below-average (bottom shelf liquor and pre-mixed tropical drinks). The overall pictures on the Occidental website... More

This was our first vacation to Costa Rica and the Allegro Papagayo. Upon arrival at our hotel we (probably 150 people) were welcomed by Allegro Staff. Check in was very busy so we decided to head to the lobby bar where we remained until around 9 pm...it was great. Our rooms were average like everyone else has said, but they... More
