As indicated in the title, it is my intention to write an honest and fair review of our recent stay at Flamingo Beach Resort. The manager has been an acquaintance of mine for several years. When we returned from vacation, and I looked at other reviews that have been posted recently, I noticed that he has had to respond several... more

Myself, my wife and our two children (ages 7 and 10) had a fabulous one week stay at the Flamingo Beach Resort. We booked on the hotel web site for a pool view room and were pleasantly surprised at the "web special" rate of $79us/nt.! The amenities are extensive and the location is ideal: large pool for the kids, great... more

We took a chance on Flamingo Beach with a lot of mixed reviews and thought we would be ok, but we were wrong. We get there and there is TONS of construction going on. No one shows us to our "pool view" room or helps us with our bags. We finally find our room walking down dirty and smelly outdoor... more

Renovation works are over in the perimeter wall on the pool and beach side, we are only working on the main entrance which is well delimited and completely separated from regular operations of the hotel, our current maintenance works are smooth and we will do all we can to avoid affecting our clients. My most sincere apology to this traveler;...

We have just returned from a two week all inclusive holiday in Flamingo Beach Hotel, Costa Rica. I have to say it was one of the best holidays i have had, the staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. yes there is building work going on but it did not effect us at all. We... more

We just returned from our vacation in Costa Rica, the Flamingo Beach Resort was the worst experience I've had in my years of travel. When we first arrived to check in they could not find our reservation, which we booked through Expedia. My 4 year old was very sick and she had to use the bathroom, but the bathroom in... more

In our constant intention to have better areas and services to our guests we are renovating the public restrooms and by that time the one in the lobby was closed, soon they will be finished and working again. In Costa Rica as a general policy we always ask for a credit card in order to open the phone lines of...

The hotel is under construcion. This caused three problems for us. One, it is noisy (jackhammers, saws, trucks, pounding, etc) all day long. This doesn't make laying out by the pool very relaxing. Two, the water turns off unexpectedly. I was in the middle of my shower (shampoo in hair, soap all over), when the water suddenly shut off. When... more

Noisy works are over and the water interruption was and accident that was fixed as soon as possible, we offer 4 theme nights during the week (Italian, Caribbean, Costa Rican and Mexican) with live music until 9:30 pm, we only have music until late on Saturdays or special events like weddings. I personally apologized with this client and I wish...

We arrived on a rainy July night to find that the suite we booked that advertised slept 6 people had one King bed and two couches. What they consider a "pullout" couch is actually a cushion that lies on the floor. Sorry - but you have to be crazy to sleep on the floor in Costa Rica! They had no... more

As we are improving we are trying to make this process as smooth as possible, we covered all the areas where the works are taking place and all our staff is working very hard on avoiding disturbances to our guests. Our pullot couches are in did a model that lies on the floor, unfortunatelly not everybody likes them but they...

Stayed at the resort for 4 days and 3 nights. We had a nice room that overlooked the pool and the ocean. We did not do the all inclusive, but our package did include breakfast. This is a great place to go and just relax. The pool and the beach are wonderful. There is really nothing to do, but they... more

OUR HOLIDAY: 2 weeks all-inclusive in June 2008, booked with FirstChoice in the UK. First of all, apologies in advance for the length of the post, but having read a few bad reviews about Flamingo Beach resort, I wanted to comment on our experience as we really enjoyed our stay. LOCATION: Couldn't have asked for a better location really. The... more

Just came back from a week long stay at the Flamingo Beach Resort and loved it! It has a huge pool with a swim up bar that kept both the kids and adults entertained for many hours. It is right on the beach and is an incredible place to watch the sunset. Pablo the tour guide set us up for... more
