Cancun Forum: Flamingo Resort, Cancun

You can get a Ladatel phone card in Cancun and use that at any pay phone marked Ladatel to call back to the US. Or rent a cell phone from cancunvalet.com. That's reasonable and easy. They will also arrange your airport transfer if you want.

Drink bottled water. We have gone to Cancun for for many years and always chew up a Pepto Bismol after each meal to keep our stomachs settled. Works like a charm.

I stayed at the Flamingo last month. Had a good time. Read my review if you want. There was a great beach there. So you should be able to get plenty of rest and relaxation. Or if you prefer the pool, that was OK as well.

Day-trips I recommend going to Isla Mujeras... or Xel-Ha (Shell-ha) Or maybe a snorkeling trip in Peurto Morales. There are Funjet reps right next to the main desk in the lobby that can set you up with anything you need.

A group of us stayed at the Flamingo last year and had a great time there. Everyone was very nice there. The check-in staff might be a little slow, but other that that they are very accomadating. We never tried to call home, but email home instead from the computers in the lobby. We only drank the bottled water and never had any trouble. I recommend taking a couple pepto bismal tablets or something everyday. If you see a security guard named Juan, tell him hi from the group from North Dakota.
