Occidental Allegro Punta Cana

Take a look at the Occidental Allegro Punta Cana: This is a 4 star, all inclusive resort

The Occidental Allegro Punta Cana Resort may not be one of the most popular ones but it has its advantages. This nice vacation spot is a magnificent 4 star all inclusive resort. The ride from the airport to this resort won’t be long as is only 20 minutes away from it and is also quite close from a yacht club where many competitions take place.

This middle sized resort with approximately 540 rooms spread over 9 buildings each with 3 stories. You can get a room close to the beach if don’t like walking at all, but you must be sure to request it first. If you are fine with some walks you will be happy in most of the rooms, as the walk is not that extensive anyway. Even when families with children, married couples, and young singles have a liking for this resort, young singles and couples will enjoy the place the most. Some people might say the service is not that efficient mainly because of the language, but in my experience the staff can handle almost any language as their well trained to do so. They also offer a crib but you have to request it at the front desk.

Rooms

The accommodations at the Occidental Allegro Punta Cana resort can be divided into 2 main types of rooms : superior rooms and junior suites. There are other types but these are the most common that people request. The rooms are fully equipped with 2 queen beds, bathroom with tub and shower, ceiling fan, alarm clock, iron, satellite TV, and a safe (with $2 fee per day). Most rooms looks very clean, neat, and with some nice space to relax without forgetting the terrace that has a very nice view of the ocean if you pick it right. In the eventuality that you do have a problem with the room (plumbing problems, doors, etc.) the staff will change it without hesitation.

Pool and Beach

At the Occidental Allegro Punta Cana resort, crystalline waters are part of this well designed pool. This resort has 1 big outside pool for the guests. The place is big enough to carry out many simultaneous water activities. As some other resorts, they provide scuba diving clinics in the pool. Many chairs around the pool provide enough comfort for rest after a nice swim. The towering palm trees in the small islands inside the pool give it a tropical Caribbean atmosphere style to the place. The children have an area for them in this pool as well.

The beautiful beach decorated with endless palms and turquoise waters is one of the main reasons to go to Punta Cana. The beach is a very short walk from the resort, so no complains there but as usual getting up at 7 am to save the chairs using a towel is the way to go. There is some seaweed on the beach though, which can make the swimming a bit annoying. If a little seaweed is no trouble for you, you will have the time of your life.

Food

As usual you got your typical main buffet restaurant which in this case is the Topaz. In here you will be offered the main meals like: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For breakfast you won’t have much choice than to eat here, but for the lunch you will have some extra choices like : the pizza snack bar and the beach club. I absolutely love pizza, so the pizza bar is essential to me.

Like an old saying the best is left for last: the a la carte restaurants. For the dinner, at the Occidental Allegro Punta Cana, you will have the most options available like: the Italian Caruso restaurant,  the Caribbean papaya, the La Yola seafood restaurant, and the Las brasas grill. As you know the best stuff comes with disadvantages; these restaurants require some nice dressing as well reservations. In all honesty, dinner at these restaurants is way better than doing it at the buffet; so I highly suggest you to make the reservations fast.

Entertainment

Unlimited drinks will make the time here even more enjoyable that you could imagine. If you add a wide array of water sports that can be done like: kayaks, snorkeling, water polo, aqua aerobics, windsurfing, surfing, and boogie boards you will regret not staying for a longer time. Gym, bicycles, tennis courts, motor water sports, horseback riding, and excursions are just a few of the extra things you will be able to do. The horseback riding is one that costs 25 US dollars per person and is not that good in this area, as the place of the ride will be desolated, a bit muddy, and there will be not that much to see. The golf course at the Occidental Allegro Punta Cana is really good, but only if you have the cash for it, as the price can escalate quickly when you combine the caddy, tee, and other fees. Some of the excursions here are very well worth their price, like one to Isla Saona, Isla Catalina, and Manati park (Check the daytime activities section). The night shows are a great way to start the night, they usually start like from 9:30 to 10 pm. The disco at night is the place to hang out if you are looking for an awesome time with unlimited drinks. There is also a casino but is like 15 minutes away from the main area,  meaning that you will probably have to wait for the little trolley-like car to take you there.
