This was my thought exactly. Lol. We walked in around 1130 am and in early Feb. There was not many people there at all. Even the buffet was quiet. Maybe it isn't a great place to stay? Not sure. It is quite the walk to get to the beach ⛱️. Thanks for the comment and for watching my friend.
Just an FYI ... I have stayed at this Hotel about 12 times and always had a great time .. The STAFF is fantastic .. and it seems that some money is being put into this hotel for infrastructure and some updated rooms ... The positive changes started after this hotel STOPPED being partly owned by the Barcelo Hotel group.about March 2024 ....and why getting in was so difficult ..... timing of ownership was strange .... It is now solely owned by the Cuban Govt and no longer invested in by Barcelo .. hence the loss of Allegro in the name .. .. The BRAND of the solely owned Cuban Hotel is Caribe so you will probably see a name change to Caribe Palma Real soon .. .... Thanks for the walk about on the property .. it was good to see it again and some of my Cuban Friends .. staff you walked by at pool was a front door man.. .
What time of day and year were you there? It seems eerily quiet.

Where is everybody ?
I know right... we felt this was crazy how nobody was outside at 11 am ish . Can't explain this one my friend. Thanks for watching.
It was hard enough for us to get in and do a video... maybe they wont even let theier own guests in so thats why it is so quite, HAha

Awesome information. Thanks for sharing. Looked like a nice hotel.
What if your staying at palma real can you visit the other hotels the one you're staying at ?
You can access part of the beach and use of snackbar and pools at occidental and use of pools only at barcelo. Thanks for the comment 👍
Yes you can visit Occidental and Solymar.
You can also eat at RANCHION CARIBE where Occidental is
Thanks for helping out. At the Occidental, sadly no options when we went. Crazy thing is it is only sometimes $10 per person per week dif in price.
If this was Mexico the place would be packed...
That cant be normal for this place in feb. ?? not sure. But yes Mexico is packed then.
