Just got back from Cozumel and stayed from Feb17th-24th 2008..at Hotel Flamingo.

Had the privilege of staying in a Suite as well as a courtyard room. Both were extremely clean and exactly what we needed. We stayed in the Suite Rm#31 for 1 week and when we missed our flight we stayed in the courtyard room.

The Suite was really impressive. Nicely decorated especially liked the bathroom tile work and sink. A nice touch was the fact that it had a mini fridge...which made it convenient to refrigerate our bottled water. The view was nice ...facing out looking over the town and ocean! The whole room had lots of windows and natural light which was a really nice feeling.

The Courtyard room was nice as well...very plain but clean and comfortable!

The great thing about the Hotel is that you are within walking distance to everything! Across the street there is a cute restaurant called El Morrito III with good mexican food. The hotel also has a very nice bar/restaurant. We only ate at the restaurant once for breakfast which was good but american style. We generally only ate at Mexican restaurants! however very close to the hotel there is a large variety of places to eat steak/italian/bakeries etc. Only a few blocks to the main square and ferry docks to Playa Del Carmen.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The maids did an excellent job as well!

Overall we were very happy with our stay and would recommend it to anyone!

Really enjoyed our stay at the Flamingo. The room and bathroom (a superior room) were recently renovated, with lovely white walls and white linens. The staff were really friendly - especially the bartender, Ivan, who went above and beyong to make us feel welcome. A light breakfast was included in the price, which was nice. The hotel is really close to the town center. There's no beach close, but Cozumel is waiting to be explored. The internet and laundry service weren't available when we stayed, but that was the only thing. We'd stay again and recommend it to others!

My husband and I found the Flamingo to be a quaint and simple hotel. No fancy amenities but clean and very convenient to stores and restaurants. The staff were very helpful and friendly . Great little bar and especially bartender Ivan's personality. Always nice to have a little cocktail the end of the day and meet other guests. The rooftop was awesome at night even though there was no patio furniture.

Some of the negative comments were dim lighting in room and lack of storage cabinets and mirrors in the basic room. Also, parking was not convenient.

We understand upgrades are being made this year and we definitely plan to go back to the Flamingo.

employees were great: however the hotel and amentities were not. food was below average, and stopped serving at 6 P.M. we were faced with many obstacles through-out our week stay such as cold or no water for showering, no cable, and no electric one night! also the area was under construction(sidewalks and street) and was very inconvient( not the hotels fault). first time in cozumel, but unfortunatly probably will not return due to the experience not only at the hotel but the hasseling locals(vendors)
