Facilities and room: the grounds and facilities were all very clean and beautiful with lots of pretty flowers and walkways. The 2 pools were very nice and clean. Our room was cleaned daily and well kept other than our fan light missing it’s cover. We did have some ants in our room but I reported it to the staff and they came and sprayed right away, no issue really. The room fridge had beer, soda and water and we were able to get the maid to give us extra beer. The ac only functioned about half of the time which made sleeping a little uncomfortable. The shower worked great and we spent a lot of morning time on our deck watching the little animals chase each other around. I will comment that even being a little distance from the nighttime entertainment stage it seemed rather loud, I would avoid staying in a room close to it!
Beach: the beach is absolutely beautiful and well maintained!! All of the things I discussed above about the room really don’t matter much because you spend basically no time in there because the beach and pool are so nice!!
Staff: the staff was all very friendly, minus the initial pressure to attend the timeshare meeting. Our favorite drink man on the beach was Claudio May, he truly was the best! Claudio always kept us stocked with drinks and knew our names after the first day, super friendly and kind! If you stay here I hope you are blessed enough to have Claudio as your drink man!!
Food: our favorite meal of the day was probably breakfast. Almost daily we went to the breakfast buffet for a fresh made omelette. The grill gal whipped up a mean omelette and it would usually tide us over until a snack by the pool (the French fries are yummy and the pizza isn’t bad) or supper. We ate at all of the reservation restaurants and they were all very good.
Drinks: the drinks were good but lacked alcohol. We quickly figured this out and would request double or triple shots in our drinks.
The area: we went running daily on the road behind the resort and felt safe. We also walked into playa del Carmen on the beach and on the sidewalk and always felt safe. The little shopping center right behind the resort was also nice.
Bottom line....we will be back and had a wonderful vacation!
The internet is also something which was a bit annoying. It is not included in your stay so be prepared to add the price of internet to the total price of your stay (35$ for 3 days 45$ for 7 days and it’s for 1 device) All in all if you want a good priced all inclusive from which you can go on excursions, I would recommend you stay here.
Don’t expect to be having breakfast on the beach ! There is one dark canten like buffet meters away from the beach where you have to have breakfast and dinner. The hotel claim to have various bars / restaurants. There aren’t. There are two buffet / bars and that’s it.
When you sit around the pool the entertainment staff play very loud reggaeton all day. If that’s not your vibe then you have no choice but to listen to it.
Don’t give these people your clothes to be cleaned. I sent an expensive trench coat to be dry cleaned with the promise that it would be returned by 5pm the next day. The jacket was never returned. I had to visit reception 5 times during the last few hours of my holiday when I should have been relaxing. The staff at the reception do try to help however some members are simply incompetent with a low level of English . I wouldn’t suggest staying at allegro playacar if you can’t speak Spanish.
My transfer is collecting us for the airport in 2 hours and I still haven’t been given my £90 jacket.
Just poor quality all round pay £50 more and I’m sure other resorts will be much better. It isn’t worth a penny and weather unpredictable in November not really Caribbean.
We found the resort clean, nicely lay out with everything within a short walk. We were placed in a upper floor room right next to the quiet pool and found this location to be perfect. There are two pools separated by the lunch buffet/pool bar building which is also the Mexican Restaurant in the evening. The ocean side pool is the noisy pool with all the activities and music along with the swim up bar. The other side is the quite side with plenty of shade and chairs.
The food at the main buffet located on the upper floor of the main building was good, with something for everyone, in the morning they had a station where they would do eggs or omelets to order, and we never went hungry. Usually during lunch down by the pools they would have one of the chiefs cooking a daily specialty item pool side in addition to the lunch buffet, this we found to be a nice touch.
We found the staff to be extremely friendly, and interested in talking with you, and insuring you had everything you needed and that you were enjoying your stay.
The Beach is beautiful, I would say that Playacar has the best beach in the area; it was clean and well maintained.
Overall we had a fantastic time at the Allegro Playacar, and would definitely go back to the resort!
Accommodations & Hotel Grounds Our room was quiet, very clean & comfortable. The maids who cleaned our room were very helpful. If you needed anything, you had only to ask them. The hotel grounds are beautifully maintained with many tropical plants & trees, with less concrete.
Food The food was consistently very good. Our biggest problem was trying to keep our weight down. We found that there was a large selection of choices @ each meal. There are 3 specialty restaurants available by reservation by the front desk. We enjoyed suppers @ each of the Italian, the Oriental & the Mexican restaurants. Also available are pizza, daily chef beach specials, plus ice cream & other snacks.
Special Events The hotel does a great job for all special holidays & events.
Hotel Staff One of the biggest pluses of this hotel is their wonderful & helpful staff. It is always a pleasure to see the same pleasant faces year after year. We have stayed at many other hotels & there is no comparison at all.
Weather This year had outstanding weather – it only rained 1 or 2 days during our entire stay.
Water/Beach/Seaweed The beaches remained clean & clear of seaweed during our stay except for a bit on the last couple of days. We were able to walk down the beach to the Ferry Terminal in town every day. The ocean is so clean & clear that it makes you want to jump in & stay there.
Shopping in Playacar & Playa Del Carmen To indulge your shopping pleasures, you can take a few steps from the front lobby to the little shopping center in Playacar for a few things. For a larger selection of stores, a walk to town is just a short 20-30 min. walk by sidewalk or beach.
Excursions You may book excursions through the hotel or at several kiosks close by. Most excursions pick up & drop off from the hotel lobby. Numerous excursions in the area are available-with some to suit everyone.
Conclusion We chose this hotel because it has a more traditional feel to it & each hotel building has fewer rooms. If you are looking for a quiet, comfortable hotel with wonderful staff on a large beautiful beach, this is the hotel for you. Enjoy paradise.
