Allegro Cozumel by Occidental

Has anyone stayed here? We are scheduled for Jan 1 -5 and am curious
about the location, weather during that time, and any good dive shops
nearby.

I suggest using the dive shop associated with the resort.

I have been there three times. This resort was great about 8 years ago, but it
has not been well managed. I was there last year, and our room was not so
great. The dive shop within the resort is good and easy to use. Ask for a room
close to the dive shop. You would be able to run to your room between the
dives, which is nice.

Dive is always great in Cozumel. You will have fun.

I am leaving to Iberostar tonight. I heard this resort is newer and more
updated.

I stayed there last time and had a good time. The A/C sucks. YOu have
to wave your arms around in the middle of the night since it is motion
sensitive and will turn off if there is no movement in the room.

Will enthusiastic copulation do the trick?

Blow up a balloon and hang from a string in front of the AC.

I would imagine only if she's sitting up. And I have a pretty vivid
imagination.

We stayed there in early October this year. We had a downstairs room
that was in the building closest to the dive shop (Dive Paridise).
The buildings have about 8 units each. The buildings behind us (on
the south side of the resort) were being remodeled. Noise was not a
problem. Our building had been remodeled. Our room had a king sized
bed, adequate storage space, and cable tv w/ CNN (we watched the
presidential debates). There is a patio that has a table and chairs
and a hammock which we used to hang our wet suits and booties from.
There were some hooks in the bathroom that we could hang our bc's
from. From our room it was just a short walk to the beach and dive
dock.

We had done some research before we left looking at prices and chose
to dive with Papa Hogs. Their rates came to about $50 per tank while
other dive shops wanted about $60 per tank. The shop at the Allegro
would not rent tanks to do night dives to us. If you dive with them
they will provide free shore tanks but there is nothing but sand to
see. Papa Hogs was great. The dive sites are so close to the Allegro
that we just got our gear stored before we arrived at the dock.

The biggest complaint that I have about the Allegro was the food.
While the presentation of the food (especially the deserts) was
excellent, the food was pretty bland. The Allegro would do much
better in offering local type Mexican food. We ate hamburgers almost
every day. The did have barbeque - ribs and chicken a couple of
times. The ribs were tasteless - lack of barbeque sauce, but the
chicken was very good.

They had Corona on tap and a variety of mixed drinks. The mixed
drinks did not seem to have much alcohol in them. If you want booze
in your drinks, order a shot with your drink and add it to your drink.
The shot booze comes from a different bottle.

If you plan to go into town much, I'd suggest that you consider
renting a jeep. As I recall, a taxi to town was $11 each way. A taxi
to the airport was $15.

?? You mean $50 for a two tank trip, don't you?

We were there last Christmas. Was very crowded - beach was SRO.
Plus, since I had no tatoos, facial hair and did not smoke, I felt
somewhat out of place. <grin>
