 | |  |  | Occidental Allegro Punta Cana: Perfect for Anyone | Tip Rating:    Satisfaction:   |  |  | |  |
stayed for a week, between july 3rd and 10th, alot of people came on the 10th. Lots of couples, lots of famalies, lots of europeans (their the best), lots of singles- perfect stay for anyone. Single ladies- BEWARE- you will be proposed to; very, very, very friendly staff. Decent nightlife, however, Mangu (local club) is alot better (20 minute ride from hotel which is $20 american). really cool prizes; two couples won 1 week free trips at any occidental hotel! Excursions are very expensive, however there is alot of choices- swim with sharks and dolphins, monster truck etc. Lots of daily activities, such as beach aerobics, bingo, beach soccer and volleyball. Food was okay, being vegetarian i didn't have much choice and the buffet offered more "adult" food, but the beach bar offered "kid" stuff (fries, burgers etc)... try the pizza from the pizza shack (right beside pool). Only dissappointments were that nothing was served after 2 pm..boo..so bring some snacks and maybe buy some rhum from the store. The rooms were also very damp and there was literally like an inch of water on the floor, so we had to leave our air conditioner on all the time, fulll blast; our clothes were always damp. Also, if you are travelling with young ones or plan on going to bed early, try to get a room as far from the pool as possible.. the music blares from the shows into the rooms;not very thick walls.lol. Overall, good trip. Recomend it.
Beach is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l , its rated a 5 however i don't think i'd give it that much- just b/c there is lots of seaweed [which should have been cleaned daily] I got out of the water looking like a sea monster. Leave a Comment Theme: Hotel

Terrible. Stayed for 7 nights- 6 nights too many! We arrived at night, so we didn't get a taste of it until the next day. You need to book dinners three days in advance, so you can only eat at the a la carte restaurants your last 3-4 days. The buffet is the same breakfast/lunch/dinner, and there is a bit of selection, but by day three its very boring, and its the only place to eat breakfast and lunch. Linups to get in to eat- no snacks offered, and the snack bars the talked about- didnt exist.
Terrible staff. If you are a woman- run. I was hit on numerous times, even when with my father, and the staff were again- very very very friendly. I was uncomfortable, and i had to complain to the manager- didnt do anything. The pool boy even came to find me 'after work,' which was hugely inappropriate, and unacceptable. Was uncomfortable wearing a swimsuit, and I dress fairly conservative. They also forced alochol at me during meals even though I was underage, and during dessert the waiter offered me himself- he wasn't kidding.
The beach is beautiful- but thats about it. The water was nice, but alot of seaweed on the shore- could have been dealt with. Also the staff would come up and tickle me when i was sunbathing. Awful. Surprised they didn't get fired. Also can not go onto beach after dark, as there are prostitutes, men hitting on men, 14 year old girls offering themselves- terribly sad, nevermind unsafe.
The rooms were clean, but the walls are not sound proof. Couldn't get to sleep because there the people next to us were 'doing it' and then woke up to hear people barfing at 7 am- wonderful. Also the people next to us were broken into.
Nothing to do. They offer water aerobics and vollyball- but no one did it, and they tried to force you into it. No means no, but they dont get it. Can't walkt anywhere from resort. Day trips were the best part, but expensive ($70 US per person.)
Virtually no night life. I was 17 at the time, and bored as anything. NOT a place for teens- the only teen there over 12 and under 20. One dance club, with one room, and techno music. The bar was the most happening place- but only because no where to go before then.
Staff put on terrible shows- Lion king? Only enjoyable because everyone wathcing was drunk-
only because there was nothing to do besides drink.
Staff called everyone "American Alcoholic."
Surprised it got even one good review.
Would not recommend it to families, singles especially, or anyone who enjoys delicious food.
Would recommend it if you are a drunkard who wants a cheap warm gettaway, and dont mind slimy men gropping you.
Nothing. Not one unique thing. Leave a Comment Theme: HotelPrice: US$180 and up » Currency Converter
