Occidental Allegro Playa Dorada Hotel

We were at the Allegro Playa Dorada last February and thought it was awesome! You have to understand, if you have never travelled to the Dominican Republic, that their resorts are not the same as most other tropical locales; their infrastructure is less developed and... more

Firstly we were very happy with the holiday, we travelled from Gatwick with MyTravel who had a 4 hour delay (these things happen), but they were not helpful in conveying information of why we were delayed. The flight was tightly packed and some people did not have the... more

The best holiday I have ever been on! The rooms weren't the best but it was livable. There were leaks in the roof and one day we had ants all in our clothes but the problem was sorted very quickly. The fun club staff are amazing; you can't get any nicer people. Tony, Joe... more

DO NOT GO HERE. My partner & I were transferred to here after the bombs in Egypt and this was the worse holiday I have ever been on! So much so we tried to get a flight home after the first week. We have been to many Caribbean islands and when I saw this resort I felt... more

Hotel accommodation was fine, regularly cleaned. Food was good, fresh salad and veggies. Drinks were ok except the wine (like drinking watery perfume). They run out of things regularly, cups, glasses and drinks etc. The complex seems isolated and feels like Butlins in the... more

If you're looking for a relaxing place to sit on the beach and enjoy the sun, this is the place to go. We visited this resort the week of January 21st, 2006 and it was an amazing experience. All the staff were so helpful and we found that other people staying at the resort... more
