Flamingo Beach Resort has received some poor reviews and I don't understand why. It is a small resort, but that adds to the charm and personalized feel. I was here for a week (May 10 onwards) and everything was exceptional. The staff are friendly, professional, and they almost all speak English. We arrived early before check in time, and we... More

Sometimes after reading other reviews in Trip Advisor, one doesn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised, all in all. The room was very nice and large enough, king size bed, good pillows, better toilet paper than most hotels and a nice balcony overlooking the pool. I am glad I took the majority of people's recommendation and bumped... More

My husband and I were married at Flamingo Beach Resort at the end of April. We stayed there for 5 nights with 50 of our wedding guests. Everything about our stay was perfect! The resort is amazing, beach is beautiful, food is great, and staff is fantastic and extremely professional. The resort is on the small side, which added to... More

Upon arrival we were not checked in until exactly 3:00pm (their check in time). It was 97 degrees and we sat in the lobby sweating for two hours. The hotel was not full and we found this very odd. The beds were very comfortable, however, we found the bathrooms to be gross. The toilet wouldn't flush and tub wouldn't drain,... More

As the owner of the Flamingo Beach Resort & Spa, I was mortified to read your review and I apologize for the negative experience you had at our hotel. I do not know the date of your stay, but If the hotel was not extremely full at the time you checked in, you should have been accommodated quickly into a... More

Look, the hotel was fine. Clean room, cheap drinks, on the beach. It did its job. BUT: I bought a package that included $200 of food and drink credits to spend at the hotel. At the end of my stay, they informed me that certain food/drinks were not included in the package (no wording on the website, it was just... More

Please know that we take these reviews very seriously and were extremely disturbed to read about your experience at our hotel. Since the Trip Advisor reviews are anonymous and only accompanied by screen name, it has been very difficult to investigate your case and get to the bottom of what truly happened. We are certainly not in the habit of... More

The location of this resort was absolutely perfect for us, thanks to previous trip advisor reviewers who helped us choose the town and resort. Gorgeous white sand beach, steps away from the large pool. Nice sized clean, pool-view room in the southwest building, with a very comfortable bed. Although they did not have us in the king bed pool view... More

We loved our stay at Flamingo Beach Hotel. We stayed at an ocean view suite and the view was perfect. The hotel has a huge swimming pool and part of it is on the shade so for the ones that do not want to much sun or for those that are with children it is a plus. I have received... More

We recently stayed 4 nights at this hotel. The hotel was nice and had all of the amenities that you could want. The pool was nice but the beach was amazing. The hotel sits right on the beach so you only need to walk a few steps and you're on the beach. The hotel also provides lounge chairs for its... More
