2 Adults, 2 young teens. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Went with an open mind and were really pleased. 2 adoining rooms on the seafront, yes, they smelt a bit musty, but were cleaned daily. Staff friendly. Food excellent, plenty of choice. Pools lovely and clean. Sea superb. Lots of watersports and beach games. Plenty of room for kids to have... more

The beauty of the lush green trees, flowers and water cannot be matched, however we should have been warned about the insects. I was bit by "no see ums" simply from walking on the beach and then in the evening while watching shows. This ruined my vacation because I literally had no relief and still do not and it's been... more

Hi, I spent two lovely weeks with my girlfriend here, and arrived home 19/05/08 (wish I was still there). First of all, I really don't understand how all these bad reviews can be written.

We just arrived home after our 4th stay at Occidental Allegro Playa Dorada and we had another great vacation in our second home, as we say, back to our Island family. We have been going to Puerto Plata since 1993 and have always enjoyed. The Occidental Allegro Playa Dorada staff are the greatest. All of the people that work there,... more

A friend and I decided to have a relaxing vacation after a hard yerar of school. We decided to book at the Occidental Allegro Playa Dorada in Peurto Plata, because the rates were relatively inexpensive, and we knew that it would definately be a "party zone!" When we first arrived, our room was not acceptable (air conditioning was broken, shower... more
