Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo Hotel Rooms at the Occidental

Pros: Very clean, both in the rooms and the grounds. Very good food. Extremely nice beach. Helpful staff. Amazing Service. Wonderful experience. Cons (To be picky, not reason to not go): hard to get dinner reservations at desired time, dinners take around 2 hours, no swim up bar (but service around pool and beach is pretty quick), no music at poolside, can be tough to get a chair by the water. We went to this all-inclusive resort for our honeymoon for 6 nights and absolutely loved it. It is definitely a more low key option than others in the area. More of a quiet, relaxing, lounging type of place. Not a party hopping joint, but still plenty of drinking and activities, just not dancing and "spring break style". The staff was phenomenal and always offering assistance. Our room was one of the standard rooms and it was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. Each room has it's own private terrace which is great. The food was fantastic overall, but dinners took around two hours each. We were able to get reservations where we wanted, just may have had to wait until 9 or 9:30. The main pool and beach area was beautiful and had great service, but it was tough to find a chair after 8 am (especially if you wanted shade). Drinks were great, almost anything you wanted and made well. Staff were friendly and invited us to join in activities. Breakfast and lunch were easy and very delicious. Multiple other smaller pools offered privacy and seclusion. We would go back in a heartbeat!!!

We enjoyed everything. The only thing it really didn't have was a beach. We loved the adult area it was fun and relaxing. We had massages and they were great . Overall we had a awesome experience and would come back.

When booking this resort for our honeymoon, the appeal for us was the rustic authentic look. Once we arrived, we felt the charm immediately! Sylvia was such a kind hostess and upgraded our rooms to a partial room ocean view. What a nice surprise! Our visit was wonderful. We spent most of our time on the beach & at the pool, since it was only within a few steps from our room. The drinks were tasty and the staff was so attentive. The entertainment crew were a blast and knew us by name by the second day! We opted to do the buffet every evening (rather than the restaurants) for dinner because it was so delicious and such a wide variety of choices. We loved Allegro! The only elements we didn't care for were the time-share salespeople offering us "deals" more than one time, the bed sheets (a bit scratchy), and the plumbing system was old. Other than that, our trip was perfect! We've told all our friends about Allegro and we can't wait to go back!!
