Just returned from a one week stay at the Allegro Papagayo in Costa Rica. Here is an UNBIASED MUST READ review that everyone should read before going. First off - the best time of the year to go to Costa Rica is November, December or January. DO NOT GO IN SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER unless you like the rain!! November is... more

We have just returned from our 2 weeks at the Allegro and have to say that we had a great holiday. I read a number of the reviews on trip advisor to get a balanced view before booking this holiday (you are never going to please all of the people all of the time and one mans heaven is another... more

I just returned from Costa Rica. I stayed at this resort which is located in the Guanacaste region. It is breathtakingly beautiful here...sugar cane fields growing right up to the road. The traveler needs to understand that this area of Costa Rica is extremely remote. There appears to be many many miles of moutain roads between each resort. I wouldn't... more

First I'd like to say that all the reviews are correct... it's a huge hill... but my boyfriend and I enjoyed the trek everyday to burn off all the free food.... and the staff did try to give us an non-ocean view room even though we booked one with a view... again the staff fixed the problem when we stated... more

Fantastic holiday , food excellent , staff only too pleased to help and always with a smile. A pity First Choice have abandoned Costa Rica. more

Four Star? More like 2 to 3. Arrived early Sept 08 and checked in OK. A bit off that the rep (the "wonderful" JB) spoilt the start of the holiday with "Sadly my company is pulling out of this unique country and I leave in 5 and a half weeks" - not relevant and smacked of sour grapes - what... more
