On the week of Jan 14th-21st 2006 we travelled to the Dominican Republic for the first time. We couldn't have been happier with our accomodations at the Occidental Allegro Jack Tar resort in the Playa Dorada complex near Puerto Plata.
Pricewise it cannot be beaten for what you are getting. The resort is structured as a number of 4 unit two storey walkups vs. the traditional hotel ... [more]setting. There are two pools, the adult pool with swimup pool bar and the kids pool where all the activities take place. There is a golf course that runs through the resort, and despite the fact that you have to walk through it (between 6th & 7th hole) to get to the beach, the furthest away from the beach you could be on the resort is about 5 mins. There are three a la carte restaurants which at some times during the day become buffets.
The hospitality was great, room was cleaned every day. Grounds personnel out all the time cleaning the resort and beach. Food was great (bring your immodium). Bar service was at times slow, but that's to be expected. The shows and entertainment were excellent, really kept everyone having fun and involved all the time! I would recommend this resort to anyone looking to get away and have a nice relaxing vacation. [less]

Occidental Allegro Jack Tar village is a wonderful hotel.
The food is brillliant and there is a wide selection. Something different to eat every night.
There are 3 a la carte resturants an Italian, Carribean and seafood.
For lunch there were 3 resturants to choose from the main resturant- buffet style, pizza resturant where you can sit down and be waited on. This is also the ... [more]same for the beach resturant.
The entertainment was excellent. My favourite animators were Coffee, Koko Loko and Nabuk. But the best one was definatley COFFEE!He was the best ever! There are plenty of activities for all ages in the day around the pool eg. Water polo, crazy games, volleyball etc. and at night there is a different show each night.
The rooms were fine but we had to change a few times when we first arrived because we had the room right next to the maintenaince block. Rooms were kept clean and tidy.The maid would come everyday.
The beach was kept clean and tidy.
There was also a quiet pool with a swim up bar. We did not visit this but other people said it was quite relaxing. This pool is for adults only though. [less]
