government to stand firm on its orders to close the Hotel Allegro Papagayo. Last Wednesday, the 300-room Guanacaste hotel - which houses almost 600 guests - was ordered closed in 24 hours by officials from the Health Ministry, who had discovered clandestine pipes dumping sewage into an adjoining estuary,tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6013995.post-41424520994984293482008-02-08T13:17:00.000-06:002008-02-08T13:21:54.052-06:00Christian Gomezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17227177687837137977noreply@blogger.com0 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/U0Wnv5rBFHLXKpvu9vAUKD3T_BM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/U0Wnv5rBFHLXKpvu9vAUKD3T_BM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/U0Wnv5rBFHLXKpvu9vAUKD3T_BM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/U0Wnv5rBFHLXKpvu9vAUKD3T_BM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>The Allegro Papagayo's Occidental resort recent news that it will have to close its doors due to the illegal dumping of waste water into the local estuary came with even more more surprise as guests were told that they would just be refunded their money back. Arriving guests in the coming week found that they had had their reservations canceled and money refunded but had no where to go.
