Allegria Hotel Reviews

We had a beautiful, small ~50 person luncheon wedding at the Allegria in November 2024 on Jack’s Rooftop. It was a great pleasure communicating with Mary, who stepped in and took over brilliantly toward the end of our wedding planning process. We were very lucky to have her as our catering manager and she helped us bring everything to life with a smile and the utmost professionalism. She also handled our ketubah with love and care. The Allegria is lucky to have her. Jessie, Kirk, Sam, Jai and Derek were also stars of the staff for our wedding weekend as well as the excellent catering staff who took care of our guests. We had a snafu with the lock on our suite not working the night before the wedding but it was handled as swiftly as possible by Derek and he did what was needed to make sure we were settled properly. We and my family loved the amenities breakfast the morning of the wedding - and the suite worked out well for us. The staff was great with assisting my father with a wheelchair rental delivered to the hotel. Shout out to Ruben also, while although we didn’t work with him directly, he was very attentive and whenever we ran into him, wanted to make sure we were taken care of. We have magical memories of our wedding weekend and The Allegria was the right choice for us! Thank you again :)

We hosted our wedding at the Allegria in August 2024, and it was an absolute dream from start to finish! The venue is beautiful and truly gives you the feel of a destination wedding without the travel! Our ceremony was the highlight of our wedding! The ceremony was hosted on the pool deck where everyone enjoyed a beautiful summer breeze and amazing views of the beach while the sun started to set! Discounted room block rates are available along with the option to host the rehearsal dinner, after party and farewell brunch, making this the perfect location to celebrate your wedding weekend! The staff went above and beyond for us and did not miss a single detail! They made us feel so special and completely stress free! Both the food and the service were excellent! We couldn’t have been happier with choosing the Allegria for our wedding!

alegría hotel made my dream came thru,the ceremony,cocktail hour was amazing all my guests was so happy and saying what great food the dinner waoo delicious and this can be done with the help os davin white he went beyond on everything and jessie whitman with the rooms and of course jessica from reservation thank you for made my dream wedding came thru.

Randi the Allegria staff were amazing and put together and executed an extraordinary day that greatly surpassed our expectation. The space was laid out perfectly and Sarah, Kirk and the rest of the staff were amazing in looking after every detail and making sure we were well taken care of. Thank you once again for helping us create a day that along with our guests, will look back on as one of the greatest days of our lives.

The Allegria Hotel was incredible in helping me plan my wedding!!! The venue, the wedding catering and events manager, the catering sales manager, catering/menu selection, food preparation, the chefs, and the banquet manager provided impeccable service along every step of the way. They moved mountains to make my wedding magical and perfect - especially, considering our wedding was planned in less than 4 weeks. With the Allegria's Dream Team of Superstars, one would think this wedding was 1.5 years in the making! In fact, every guest of my wedding was in awe of the venue's beauty, the oceanside setting, its glamour, and its impeccable service. I think it is important to note that I previously used the Allegria and its staff to host a surprise anniversary party for my parents last year and they were so perfect that I couldn't think of any other venue to host my wedding this year!

First, Randi Fox, was an angel. As our Wedding Events/Catering Manager, she was incomparably dedicated and invaluable. She was always responsive and accessible via email and phone, if not picking up right away, always calling or email me right back. She remembered every detail, was incredible attentive to all of our special circumstances, i.e. Halal specifications for the menu, consideration of my mother's limited mobility and special accommodations for her, and anticipating certain needs for me and my bridal party as well as our guests. Most importantly, she has the kindest and sweetest demeanor that was always genuine and inviting! She was an absolute pleasure to work with and made my wedding planning seem effortless.

Along the same lines, Jessie Whitman, was equally indispensable in helping me set up a wedding block of hotel rooms for my guests and in taking care of my chief guests, i.e. my in-laws. She was amazingly attentive, addressed all of my questions, was always accessible and unfalteringly responsive to my requests. Her persona exudes happiness and it was so evident in her approach to her work.

We had picture perfect day to get married on the rooftop's pool deck, overlooking the ocean. Immediately following our marriage ceremony, the cocktail hour began, which took place in the rooftop bar lounge. While my husband and I didn't get to personally experience cocktail hour ourselves (we were off with our photographer taking wedding photos on the beach during sunset!), per our guests, the cocktail hour was spectacular!!! Friends and family have continuously regaled my husband and I with stories of the how blown away they were with the quantity of food available during the cocktail hour, the presentation of the food stations and the servers, the fun mocktails, and most importantly, how mouthwateringly delicious it all was.

Of course, the cocktail hour served as a prelude to the incredible dinner and dessert courses - all compliments going to the exquisite efforts of the Allegria's chefs, Chef Frank and Chef Justin. Again, every wedding guest with whom I have spoken stated (with the highest degree of enthusiam and excitement) that they had never eaten better at a wedding! The vegetables and fruits were crisp and fresh. the entrees were prepared flawlessly and were simply scrumptious: the chateaubriand with mushrooms was delectably tender, the herb-roasted chicken piccata was perfectly seasoned and juicy, the roasted salmon impeccably flaky and light with a teriyaki sauce that had an exacting balance of savory umami and sweetness. The plates looked as delicious as they tasted. Dessert was out-of-this world with a Smores station that rocked and pastries galore!

I could not have been more thrilled with the Allegria in hosting my wedding weekend. While the venue's location directly on the boardwalk with the beautiful Atlantic Ocean is its backdrop are unbeatable on Long Island, the staff and the service were the most memorable. I cannot say enough to say how happy they made us and how stunningly they carried out my wedding. I hope to return to it again for future events!!!

I had my daughters bridal shower at the Allegria. The catering manager Randi was easy to work with and very accommodating. The maître d’ Captain Kirk was phenomenal. Anything I asked him for I received seconds later and with a smile on his face. I received many compliments from my guests that the shower was the most beautiful one they have ever attended. The food was delicious, plentiful and very fresh. And the view was stunning!

Our Wedding at The Allegria Hotel was truly magical..

We were blown away with how seamless our day was. We had our June 4th Wedding on the rooftop, cocktail hour inside (upstairs) and reception in the Ballroom. Every part of the day ran smoothly and as we planned. Randi was excellent throughout the process, ensuring all the smaller details were perfect, she even sourced a Rose wine for us which wasn't part of the package.

The Food was so delicious and the staff throughout all of our events couldn't be kinder or more attentive. Captain Kirk, Sam and Marianne were so wonderful and no request was too large. Our cups and plates were always full, we were also impressed by the portion sizes compared to other venues.

Our Cocktail Hour was beautiful and everyone raved about the pasta station and the size of the oysters in our raw bar. Guests at the bar were served quickly and we never had a large line for drinks.

We were able to open the bar area for longer after our event for an afterparty which was great for our guests who were staying over. We worked closely with Jesse and Andrew for our wedding block and they were so helpful in securing rooms for our close family and out-of-town guests. This gave our Wedding the destination feel we were looking for.

We also had our rehearsal dinner on June 3rd and Breakfast on June 5th and both events were equally wonderful, great food, coordination and drinks. Every person we interacted with on the Allegria team was so exceptional. We absolutely loved our day and everyone who was part of it.

The Allegria was the perfect location for our Wedding and everyone enjoyed it so much!!! You will not regret booking this location.

We had our wedding at The Allegria Hotel on June 11, 2022. Was a great experience. Their banquet team was amazing !!

I am still on Cloud 9 over my wedding at the Allegria Hotel this past weekend and that could not be possible without the beautiful venue and help of the amazing staff at the Allegria! I live in NYC and searched tirelessly for venues in the city and did not fall in love with anything. I then decided to expand my search out of the city and I fell in love with the Allegria instantly when I visited. We had our entire wedding on the rooftop - the views were breathtaking and the room had the party-chic vibe I was looking for. The staff at the Allegria are exceptional. I worked with Randi, Geraldine, and Bonnie and they were so patient, accommodating, responsive, and caring throughout the entire planning process. I had numerous requests/concerns throughout the process and they made sure to find a solution for everything so that the wedding would turn out exactly as I had envisioned. The banquet team and the day-of staff were all so friendly and enthusiastic. I am typically a very hands-on person and I was able to be completely hands-off and enjoy every second of my wedding day without worrying about any details and it went as smoothly as could be. Maria, the bridal attendant, is truly an amazing person and she made me feel so relaxed and supported throughout the whole wedding - it would not have been the same without her! Thank you to everyone at the Allegria!

The rooftop of the Allegria is an unbelievable place to hold an event. We had a cocktail party style wedding and it was beautiful. Tina Marie was very helpful and accommodating with all of our planning and day of event needs! She was very attentive to our special guests!
Our guests raved about the food, the view and the fun but elegant beach chic vibe. Wish we could do it all over again!

A truly Magical experience! TinaMarie, wedding planner, Maria ,bridal attendant, food and beverage , security were extremely professional, attendant and patient. These services were flawless!!! A memory that will never be forgotten!

I give Tina Marie and her staff 5 stars. Communication, the food, the ballroom, bridal suite, guest accommodations were all 5 stars. I am not the easiest client and expectations were high. The Allegria exceeded all my expectations. Do not have any qualms about having your event at the Allegria. You too will be thrilled. Our wedding date was 8/10/18 and the first thing I wanted to do was to thank everyone that made this evening sheer perfection.

I got married in May and couldn't be happier with how my wedding went.
We worked with Tina Marie for months planning every detail. She was so responsive, professional, patient and organized. She tried her best to accommodate our needs while slightly pushing back when our demands were through the roof ( and I was one demanding bride!).
Everything turned out better than she promised us and on top of everything they surprised us with a couple of details.
The food there is amazing and every guest I spoke with raved how delicious everything was.
The wedding attendants were super helpful and made us feel like everything was taken care of.
Looking back, I wish I didn't stress as much with planning, because Tina Marie got everything done perfectly.
On top of everything, the venue has the best views I've seen and the moment I saw it I knew I don't want to look any further. Allegria is beyond beautiful!
Once again, huge shout out to Tina Marie and her team. You excelled all our expectations!!

Our wedding was magical! Tina Marie was amazing! About six months prior to our wedding the hotel got a lot of bad press in the media which became a bit stressful for my fiance and I. Tina Marie made the whole process seamless and worry free. The food was outstanding the hotel is gorgeous 9 months later and people are still talking about how wonderful everything was. Whatever we asked for she accommodated us and many times even threw it in for free!!! The breakfast/brunch the next day was a great finishing touch! Tina Marie and her crew were there from start to finish and we wouldn't have wanted it any other way!!! :)

Tina from the Allegria orchestrated a perfect wedding. Everything was spectacular. Our guests have been gushing about the venue, the fabulous food at both the cocktail hour and dinner, the views and impeccable service. Tina made it easy from the first day we met her and that was priceless. Her personal touches made it extra special. We're still floating on cloud nine.

Tina Marie was the best to work with. She returned calls within seconds and was eager to make our wedding perfect. The venue was stunning and everyone raved about the beautiful views and lavish style. The chef came up to meet me the day if and sent his best wishes. I didn't expect the food to be that good but people are still talking about their tasty meal. Allegria really did feel like we were at a destination even though my family only lives 30 min away. I highly recommend this venue for a different experience than all the other venues have to offer in Long Island.

My husband and I had a beach wedding at the Allegria. The day was perfect thanks to Peter- head of catering and wedding planning, and Sandra- fabulous bridal attendant. Their service went above and beyond before, during, and after our I Dos!

During our first visit, it took me and my husband about 4 minutes to figure out that we were going to get married at the Allegria. The venue was just perfect on all accounts: it’s located right on the beach with great views of the ocean (and the Manhattan skyline if the sky is clear), the space has a great clean and contemporary look, the food is great, the hotel room block was convenient for our guests, and the event staff was fantastic. It’s obvious that Peter is very experienced in the business and he’s a straight-shooter that does not make false promises; if he agreed to something, he made it happen. He and his staff did such a great job taking care of managing the event that all we had to do was show up ready and experience the day. I really cannot speak highly enough of the event/ catering staff- they alone are a good enough reason to go with this venue. Special thanks to Sandra, our day-of attendant, because she seemed to know what we needed throughout the night before we did. The food was awesome at both the cocktail hour and during the reception- we know because Sandra made sure that we got to try both. The seafood during cocktail hour was fresh and I’ve been thinking about the sushi and carving stations during the reception since the wedding. We were fortunate that the weather was clear and we had our ceremony on the rooftop, which overlooks the beach. We also got to do our photos on the boardwalk and, thanks to our wedding party being good sports, we even took some shots on the sand. Overall we and our guests had a great experience at the Allegria. We had many guests tell us that it was one of or the best wedding that they’ve been to. I would highly recommend this place and if we could go back and do it all over, we wouldn’t change a thing.

Absolutley wonderfull experience! The professionals at the allegria had everything under control And made my wedding 100% stress free! I didnt have to worry about ANYTHING! In fact....i am now having my baby shower there!

Peter is heaven sent. I owe everything to him. My event was beautiful. It was more then I imagined. Thank you so much Peter and Lisa for my special night.

I cant start how amazing our wedding day was here they are so on point with everything its like your treated like gold there service is so amazing out of this world peter the captain in charge he was dealing with us the whole time couldn't ask for a better person in charge he mad everything so true I just cant get over the quality and service and food I mean everything and the bridal attendant Sandra amazing amazing I tell you and Adrianna the whole staff was so great everything came true for me and my wife I got to give it up to them and Christina santos located in the flower shop downstairs was fantastic worked wonders but again thank you to peter pizzaro and staff you made this wedding complete

We are writing to say a HUGE thank you for everything you did to help us to have a wonderful wedding. Peter (Director of Catering) and his team helped us organize a really beautiful day at the Allegria Hotel. The day itself was more that we could dream. Peter and his team were there with us all along the way and made it easy and simply amazing. Thank you for your patience and endless support leading up to our big day. We're are very pleased that we chose the Allegria Hotel to celebrate our big day!

Our kindest regards,

Catering Manager Lisa Bullock and Event Coordinator Steven Gopaul were amazing. The wedding ceremony (held at the hotel) and reception exceeded our incredibly high expectations in large part due to their efforts. I would strongly recommend having your wedding here; however, there were glitches on the hotel side of things (none having to do with the catering side) as it related to room check-in efficiency, TVs and mediocre staff responsiveness.

Since my husband and I are both born and raised in Long Beach, NY and wanted a beach chic, modern venue for our party, we needed to look no further than the Allegria Hotel in our own hometown.

From the minute we had our first meeting with Peter Pizarro regarding our vision for our event, we were treated with five-star service. Peter and his team were courteous, attentive and accommodating every step of the way – and this often meant being responsive to a barrage of phone calls and e-mails regarding the preparations for our event – every single request was treated with urgency and importance!

Our party was entirely on the rooftop, on a gorgeous summer evening, with impressive views of both the ocean and New York City in the distance. We served our dinner buffet style and entrée selections included the filet mignon, the Mediterranean station and seafood station. Since our event our guests have been absolutely raving about the food! If you want to impress your guests with a MOUND of fresh lobsters, jumbo shrimp, oysters and clams (and who doesn’t enjoy that type of fare in the summer?), this is the place for you to have your wedding!

My husband and I partied the night away and did not have to worry about one single detail during the evening – everything was perfect and surpassed our expectations! Our guests continue to call us in complete awe over the venue, food and service!

Peter and his team did not miss one beat with our party! We experienced nothing but stellar service from start to finish. His team is world class!

For couples who want a sick party in a beautiful venue that will wow your guests on Long Island – the Allegria Hotel is your place!

Peter and the team at the Allegria truly made our wedding dreams come true.

From the venue, to the food, to the hotel room block, to the drinks-everything was spectacular and perfectly executed.

I emailed them about 4 times a week, and never felt like I was annoying them (which I'm sure I was)--they answered in such a lovely manner instead of being rude to me.

We have heard over and over how incredible our wedding was, I feel SO honored to have had such a great team behind me to make the dream REAL. REALLY real!

Of course, I had my moments of doubt and paranoia, but I wish I hadn't because I had NOTHING to worry about. 5+++++ stars. An amazing experience and hands down the best day of my life because of the team there.

Thank you Peter and the Allegria.

The Allegria not only met our expectations for my daughter's wedding, but greatly EXCEEDED them! It was the most beautiful, elegant wedding, with delicious food and a most pleasant and attentive wait staff.
After signing our contract, I came across many negative reviews online and witnessed a huge turnover in staff. Todd Jacobs left and we wondered what we could expect from the new management. All my fears were unfounded, because the minute that we met with Peter Pizarro, we KNEW that everything would be taken care of with class and attention to detail. He accommodated every request we had, was responsive to any concern whatsoever, and was so helpful in planning the evening. Our guests were positively blown away by the Rooftop venue for the cocktail hour. The passed hors d'oeuvres were delicious and plentiful. There was something for every palate at the cocktail hour and our guests left comfortably satisfied. Not only was the wait staff attentive, but they were also warm and friendly! I have been to so many wedding receptions where the wait staff is surly and practically throws the food and drinks at you - but not here. Lisa, the bridal attendant, anticipated the bride's every need and treated her like a queen. We had the combined appetizer/salad course which was a great idea because people were still full from the cocktail hour and it was a nice amount of food to tide everyone over until the main course. The entrees were OUTRAGEOUS! We selected the sesame tuna, filet mignon and a chicken dish - all were outstanding!
We had a dancing crowd, and it got a little warm on the dance floor, so maybe I should have asked them to pump up the AC, but that is the only thing I can think of that even remotely could have been improved upon. All in all, it was my daughter and son-in-law's dream wedding and we could not have been happier with the venue, food and staff. EVERYTHING was top notch! Thank you Peter and your amazing staff!

I cannot say enough about this wedding venue. I had attended a wedding here two years before I was even engaged and I knew from that moment that the Allegria Hotel was the one and only place I wanted to get married at. We booked and began working with Ginny Jacobs but found out two months prior to my wedding that she had resigned as well as her son and executive chef Todd Jacobs. We were reassigned to Peter Pizarro, who is the new cateering director, and felt we could not have gotten any luckier! The new chef provided a new menu that blew away our originial menu. We were able to provide Filet Mignon as a choice on the menu despite paying for the lowest tiered food! He went above and beyond to meet every expectation we had. We had our ceremony and cocktail hour on the rooftop and our reception for 120 guests in the ballroom. From start to finish there is not one thing I can think of that went wrong or I was displeased with. Our maitre'ds Jonathan and Jonathan as well as my bridal attendant, Nancy, were all god sent angels who anticipated our every need before it happened. Every person who worked our wedding was nothing but accomodating, pleasant and professional. This hotel is truly a class act. I cannot thank my husband enough for having our wedding here and for the Allegria Hotel for ensuring that I had the wedding of my dreams.

First I want to say that the Allegria was the best of the best. My wedding wasn't the traditional wedding that everyone normally has. My ceremony was on the beach following that my wedding guest of 25 people and i had coctail for an hour and then a sit down dinner in what they call the "Sexy room" and boy was it eligant. the way the seats were arrainged was perfect for the amount of guest we had. The food was good for a wedding. The hotel staff was awesome and always helpful. Brides i would suggest that you get a suite the night before like I did so there will be no stress. I had my hair and make up come to me. The wedding coordinator who I feel was so very nice and accommadationg was Nicole O. She helped me every step of the way. My wedding was on a very tight budget she was understanding and tried to help me everyway possible. Hands down my husband and i plan to come here to renew our vows because it was just that nice. DO NOT HESITATE ALLEGRIA IS THE PLACE TO GET MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!! VERY UPSCALE AND CLASSY PLACE YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED

We had an amazing wedding! Working with Tiffany and Crystal was great! They went above and beyond to create perfect memrories!

I cant be happier with the Allegria, they completely blew me and my wife away
The most important thing i can tell someone who is considering the allegria is DO NOT LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS ON LINE. Im glad i didnt
The staff was professional, courteous, and more accomodating than i could ever expect.
I have friends that work in the hotel and restaurant industry and the told me that the service and staff was the best they have ever seen....as a matter of fact one of them couldnt beleive that each table had its own server and bus boy, drinks were never empty...i mean never!!!! I really recommend at least taking a look at this place its awesome!!!! I wish i could get married there every weekend.
p.s. Ive been back several times since my wedding...oh by the way if you get married there they treat you like a v.i.p. afterwards like if you need a room and they are booked they will accomodate you at any cost and you will get a room and you dont have to do minimum 2 days...again do NOT listen to the negative online reveiws !!!!!!

Our recent bridal shower at Allegria Hotel's Jack's Rooftop Bar was nothing short of perfection. The rooftop room/bar offered breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and cityscape of NYC, creating an elegant and enchanting ambiance. The food was not only visually appealing but also exceptionally delicious, catering to diverse tastes.

What truly set Allegria Hotel apart was the exceptional service from every staff member. From the manager, Devin, to the cleanup crew, to the bartenders, everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Their proactive approach, consistently anticipating our needs, made the experience stress-free and enjoyable. The genuine hospitality and attention to detail made our day truly special. I highly recommend Allegria Hotel for any special event. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for an unforgettable day.

Allegria was amazing, they did everything we asked them to do. They really have the most elegant space we've seen, our pictures are unforgettable.
One hint: ask them to crank up the AC in the ballroom well before the reception starts. It gets really hot once the dancing starts.

We had three months to plan our entire wedding and the Allegria delivered! It was as if they were used to shot gun weddings (no, I wasn't pregnant!). They were such an amazing staff and took care of every detail. They were also very flexible when we wanted certain accommodations. For example, they brought in one of those cushy arm chairs for my 99 year old dad. We had our rehearsal, dinner, ceremony, and reception. We all stayed a couple of nights as well and everything was handled smoothly. My guests are still talking about the roof top!

Venue is beautiful and the staff is great. The venues was a clean, bright and modern in appearance. The staff was so attentive to our guest, and treated them all like royalty and they had great food.

We had a party in August. Service was great and hotel is beautiful

We had a wonderful time at the wedding.. Absolutely a wonderful time. Very lucky to have had the chance to be apart of this day at a beautiful venue on gorgeous Long Beach. The staff was really great and so was the food.

Allegria Hotel is a beautiful place and the food is absolutely great. Ginny was amazing to work with and very patient. We all know how difficult brides can be.

I do have to say that the only reason the score is this high is because of Ginny and my bridal attendant Nancy. The score is this high because of the quality of the food. However, I was highly disappointed in my maitre'd, Jonathan. While I had wedding coordinators, I still expected him to be very involved and my disappointment was reflected in his tip. My now husband and I didn't see him until the reception when we were cutting the cake. O an also when he opened the door for me at the start of ceremony. I just couldn't what his purpose was that night. He didn't greet me nor my fiance when we arrived or when the start of the ceremony arrived.

The cake is totally amazing as well by the way. everyone loved it.

Randi is just patient, kind and answers every question you have. We met with her and she even paid for our meal to try the food. Best grilled octopus I have ever had. It was succulent so I know the food will be delicious on our wedding day. We were looking to celebrate on a Sunday brunch and found this. Way over our expectations. lol. Rooftop venue is perfect for us. It's beautiful and modern. It looks like a glimpse of Greece before actually going to honeymoon in Greece. We are so excited!

The best location for a beach wedding! wonderful view from the rooftop and amazing pictures on the board way.my guests all loved it

Allegria Hotel brought my wedding to a level that I was not expecting to find on Long Island. The ceremony was held in a tent on the beach on a gorgeous day in July. The reception and cocktail hour were held in the bar and ballroom areas. The touches of contemporary art and culinary skill wowed my guests in a way that had them speechless. Even now, almost 3 years later, people still tell me that my wedding was unlike anything they had ever been to before. At the end of the night after my guests had left, my attendent was still following me around asking if the groom, my self and my parents needed any beverages or anything. I felt well taken care of and did not have to worry about a single thing the entire day.

We had a wonderful experience with the Allegria Hotel for our cocktail hour and wedding reception. Tina Marie and the bridal attendant were both amazing. Super quick with response and helpful with all of our questions. The venue is very busy and was not extremely flexible with dropping items off ahead of time and the timeframe we had to complete paperwork within. They were short one chair on one table for the reception but they fixed the problem right away. They also didn't understand my directions for my guest book and forgot to put a basket in the bathroom until I noticed about halfway through the wedding. A minor detail was that we were misinformed about the suites that we could both get ready in. These are conference rooms and not the hotel room suites they originally claimed we would have. I also was not aware everything had to be removed from the bridal suite at the end of the night so it was somewhat hectic and friends had to help clean up which led to a few items being misplaced. Overall it is a lovely space with great workers. They added hotel rooms to our block at the last minute and were very accommodating with guests coming from out of town. We felt that they could improve by providing better information regarding the day of details. We were also under the impression that the bar would stay open while guests were there so we did not organize an after party. Unfortunately the bar closed relatively early regardless of people trying to purchase drinks.

Beautiful venue!! We had our dream beach wedding. Cocktail hour was amazing, everyone could not believe the food and decor. We also rented the piano bar for a wine tasting room. The only complaint was having a wedding coordinator that was attentive and made sure that everything went off without a hitch. Also, the dance floor was really small.

The food is delicious, and the hotel is beautiful!! The staff was friendly but somebody was not entirely honest with us. When we signed the contract and picked the venue we expressed that one of the most important things to us was a venue that only hosted 1 wedding at a time. We were assured that they would not have any other events that night and definitely not a wedding. To our surprise, walking from our cocktail hour to the reception we were bumping in to guests from another wedding going on in the room right next door and being asked to move out of the way for the other weddings pictures. It definitely put a damper on the night. When we confronted the chef who apparently runs the show there, he apologized but would not offer us anymore than a voucher for a complimentary night there that expired in 3 months. I could go on about how poorly they handled the situation but I wont. Overall it was a very nice wedding but be wary, this place will do anything for an extra buck.

The Allegria really failed to make me and my groom feel special or have confidence that they would be able to pull off our wedding. Within a few weeks of booking I had doubts based on feedback I was receiving. They failed to communicate with us, when key staff turned over they didn’t even tell us that we had a new contact. The food was pretty good and the chef did meet with us to go through the menu but I was the one that had to set up every appointment and only found out a few weeks before the even that I had to order the cake through a separate vendor even though it was included in our hotel package. A few small errors were made with the menu. When I had questions I felt like I couldn’t get a response from people and I was made to feel very unimportant. The Allegria made almost $70K from our wedding weekend. The rooms that our guests paid $225 a night for were in bad shape, they had no AC, towels, and toilet paper…the list went on as I got feedback from our guests. If you plan on working with the Allegria don’t have high expectations.

The venue completely forgot a table and left ten of my guests standing for an hour. At the time of the reception the chef made a last minute decision to have the carving stations in the hallway. It was a bit of a disaster but the place is beautiful

The ballroom was lovely and the food was excellent. However, dealing with the management was a nightmare. My party planner swore she would never work with them again. After the event, we were badly mistreated. Letters written to the hotel management were ignored.
What can I say? The lack of responsiveness was shocking and unprofessional, and I have no respect for this establishment.

My wife and I recently stayed at the Allegria Hotel, and it was one of the most disappointing hotel experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, it felt like nothing more than a money grab disguised as a luxury stay.

Upon check-in, we were informed that parking would cost an outrageous $45 per night. Since we were unfamiliar with the area and wanted our vehicle parked somewhere secure, we reluctantly agreed. Unfortunately, that was only the beginning.

Things went downhill very quickly after that. At no point during checkout was I provided with a printed bill or a detailed explanation of charges. I only discovered the true amount after leaving the hotel and reviewing my credit card statement. To my surprise, I was charged an additional $65 in so-called “amenity fees.”

What amenities exactly? The pool was CLOSED. The rooftop deck was CLOSED and inaccessible. The “gym” consisted of two treadmills and barely qualified as a fitness center. The complimentary bottled water and coffee they referenced are standard at almost every hotel and certainly do not justify hidden fees. Whether you use these “amenities” or not, they charge you anyway.

To make matters worse, when I questioned the charges, the responsibility was pushed onto Priceline, which is completely unacceptable. The hotel is responsible for being transparent about its fees and services — especially when many of those services are unavailable.

Even the restaurants inside the hotel felt dishonest. You need to carefully review every charge because items can mysteriously appear on your room bill that you never ordered. By the end of our stay, it became very clear to my wife and me that this establishment operates with extremely questionable business practices and appears more focused on squeezing every possible dollar out of guests than providing a quality experience.

My advice to anyone considering staying here: BEWARE. Check every single line item on your bill and monitor your credit card statement closely because if you don’t, you may end up paying for services you never used, never received, or were never properly informed about.

We came to Long Beach hoping for a relaxing getaway, but instead left frustrated, disappointed, and feeling completely taken advantage of. We will absolutely never stay at the Allegria Hotel

What can I say about Peter "Piece of $h!t" Pizarro. Be warned, his word means absolutely nothing. He will promise you everything, peachy until its too late for you to turn back and you have nowhere to go. Then he will tell you "this is business". Basically he promises you everything so when you shop around and look, theres nothing better out there but after youre commited and your date gets close all of a sudden the promises change. Be warned, unless you like to be lied to and your time wasted otherwise youll lose a lot of money, then dont you use Peter Pizarro
