Allegro Papagayo, on the Gulf of Papagayo

This resort on the Gulf of Papagayo, on Guanacaste's northern Pacific coast, is now run by Barceló as Occidental Papagayo, and it is adults only, for guests 18 and over. It suits couples and groups of adult friends who want a resort with several restaurants and bars, a spa and a bay view, about an hour from Liberia airport.

The buildings are terraced into the hillside above the bay, in a Spanish style, with the dry forest of Guanacaste around them.

Why we choose it

Adults only. With a minimum age of 18, the pools and restaurants stay calm, which is why we suggest it for couples rather than families.
Close to the airport. About an hour from Liberia, it is an easy first or last stop, with no long drive at the start or end of the trip.
Bay views from the higher levels. The Deluxe Bay View rooms and the Premium Level Master Suite look out to the sea, so ask for those if the view matters to you.

Rooms and views

The Deluxe rooms, at 32 square metres, are for 2 adults, and the Deluxe Bay View rooms add the sea in front. The Premium Level adds more space and privacy: Luxury rooms and Studios at 32 square metres, Junior Suites at 52 square metres, and the Premium Level 1 Bedroom, at 64 square metres.

The Premium Level Master Suite, at 78 square metres, has the sea view, and the Premium Level 2 Bedroom unit, at 96 square metres, is the largest. Accessible rooms are available.

On the property

There are several restaurants and bars, so dinner can change every night. The U-Spa offers treatments, and there are swimming pools, a gym and a disco for anyone who still has energy after the beach.

Between the pool and the bay, the days here are easy, and the coast of Papagayo is right there for snorkeling, kayaking or a sunset sail.

Location and getting there

The resort is on the Gulf of Papagayo, in Guanacaste, about 1 hour by road from Liberia airport. Check-in is at 15:00 and check-out at 12:00.

From here we can arrange day trips to Rincon de la Vieja Volcano, a canopy tour in the forest, or a catamaran on the bay.
