Top Palancar Reef Hotel Reviews

Allegro Cozumel All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful Beach, Amazing Staff, and Not-So-Quiet Nights! If you’re looking for a beautiful beach, gorgeous tropical grounds, stiff drinks, and incredibly friendly staff, look no further! We were pleasantly surprised by how welcoming and accommodating everyone was throughout our 7 night stay. Our first room wasn’t up to par, but the staff quickly moved us to a second-floor unit overlooking the resort, surrounded by beautiful palm trees. The room was beneath a stunning vaulted thatched roof, adding to the tropical charm. Unfortunately, the design had one major flaw: virtually no soundproofing! We could hear EVERYTHING next door, including a neighbor’s loud snoring that kept waking us throughout the night. Luckily, he rarely returned before 1:30 a.m., giving us some quiet time before the nightly concert next door began! The resort also offers nightly discos and outdoor entertainment. Great if you enjoy evening fun, but not so great if you’re hoping for an early night. The noise made it difficult to sleep before 10 p.m. I wondered how families with little ones managed! The food was very good, and as a non-picky eater, I could always find something delicious. Add the beautiful beach, lovely grounds, and stiff drinks, and there’s plenty to enjoy. Would we recommend it? Absolutely! Just be prepared for some noise if you’re a light sleeper. The outstanding staff and tropical atmosphere made our stay memorable. Better soundproofing would make this resort a 5-star review."

"This property was nicer than I expected. Communication with the host was smooth. The guards at the gate to the property were helpful and friendly.We were there to scuba dive. There is a pier next door which cost 10 a day. This is a good spot for diving because lots of the major dive sites are near this location. There is a shower and tub to rinse your gear on the property.The 2 pools and the beach are pretty and clean."

"Our stay at L’and was incredible. We had 14 people staying, and no one had to share a bed.The house itself is enormous, and perfect for a big family or multiple families staying together. The bedrooms are all large and luxurious. There is a huge space inside for cooking and gathering. Everything is high end, and built for luxury. Outside is absolutely perfect. Everything is top notch. The pool is huge and amazing.Each day Victor (the caretaker) cleans up outside and resets all of the lounges, etc.Nelly and Carolina come each day to clean, make beds, clean towels, etc.The beach is incredible. You can drive or take the golf carts. Victor can take the umbrellas and chairs down any time you want to go to the beach. He is awesome. Sandra will be your main point of contact before the trip and during. Take advantage of her concierge services, she is incredible. Make sure to download WhatsApp to help with communications with all of the Luxury Cozumel team.We took advantage of the private chef for 3 dinners. If we made one mistake, it was not using Sandra’s Kitchen for all meals. Don’t make the same mistake: just book the private chef for all your meals. It is the best way to relax. The food is incredible.Also use Sandra’s kitchen to fully stock the kitchen. The price is reasonable and it is super convenient. We will be back soon and will always stay with Luxury Cozumel!"
