On the surface, Alejandro appears to be a polite, dashing, and charming gentleman, but underneath he is dark and twisted. He is known to use his charm and exceptional persuasion to advance him further in the game. He has proven to be one of the show's deadliest contestants, as the number of eliminations he has caused is rivaled only by that of Heather. He proudly acknowledges his terrible nature, even viewing himself as worse than Heather, calling her a saint by comparison, and happily acting upon his nasty desires after dropping his nice guy facade. He generally keeps his cool when someone or something angers him, even taking losing rather well, but snaps when his patience is pushed too far. He can easily hold a grudge for even the most minor offense to him and takes pleasure in exacting his revenge on those who wronged him. His manipulative side has been largely toned down in Total Drama All-Stars, and although it is still present, his better and less malicious side is seen. Despite being one of the crueler contestants, Alejandro can be sincerely nice if he desires to be and draws the line at senseless harm, even being disgusted by Mal's cruelty. He has made it clear his cruelty isn't usually personal with few exceptions, mainly doing so to win. Like the rest of his family, he follows the Burromuerto family code: never hit opponents in the face, no matter how much he hates them. Alejandro is very proud of his Hispanic heritage and handsome appearance, partly because it allows him to invoke the "Latin lover" stereotype. He is very high maintenance in personal grooming and not eating any foods that could potentially ruin his image or make him sick. Alejandro will frequently speak in his native language on the show. When talking to, he is polite and friendly.
