Allegro Papagayo is an all-inclusive resort that is located in Costa Rica's Gulf of Papagayo.
The Four Seasons and the Fiesta Resorts are in the same neighborhood. The resort has 300 rooms with rates of up to $150 per night. Playa Negra is one of the local beaches; providing an atmosphere geared towards outdoor activity.
The resort is near active volcanoes and a thriving rainforest in the only country to meet all five criteria to determine environmental sustainability. There are green, gray, and black sands (consisting of lava fragments) of interest to the local area. The resort is 30 minutes from the airport in the closest major city of Liberia. It has been reported that 5% of the world's biodiversity resides in Costa Rica amongst the 25% of the land that is protected from human activity.Deforestation rates in Costa Rica have been nearly 0% since 2005, which makes the rainforest an almost permanent fixture in Costa Rica.
In 2008, the resort was forced to be shut down for a time because of sewage problems. The Ministry of Health declared that the hotel must be cleared and new guests could not be accepted in addition to new reservations. At the time of the closure, sewage trucks could be seen leaving the property. Residents of Guanacaste Province protested against several forms of contamination which originated from the waste products from the resort.
The sewage problem was eventually solved and the resort was re-opened by July 18, 2009.
Guests and employees of the Allegro Papagayo have noticed unusually warm year-round temperatures during 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016.
