Fantastic staff great hotel
10 / 10
Apr 2011, Mike

Just returned from a holiday at the Roc and had a fantastic time. The staff were brilliant and my wife, who is in a wheelchair was treated as one of the family with nothing being too much trouble. The food was excellent with a range to satisfy the most choosy of diners.... more

We arrived in this part of Torremolinos that seemed a bit run down and not near any thing to do. Reception area ok (apart from a bar that never opened), staff friendly. Our room was on the 11th (top) floor and as the lift do opened it got a lot worse. Ripped, old carpets,... more

Good value for money!! Small but nice room with a balcony. Perfect location - only minutes away from the train station (takes about 10 minutes to get there from the airport), close to the center of torremolinos, about 10-15 minutes walk to the beach. Good food - buffet... more

This hotel offers real value for money. Although the decor is rather tired, it is spotlessly clean and the staff are very helpful. It is right in the middle of town, but despite having a room overlooking the road it was quite peaceful. Our bedroom was not particularly... more

My friend and I stayed here for 5 days middle of November. Hotel is nice and central to shops. It's only 20 mins from the airport. Hotel staff were nice and friendly and helpful, no trouble to get you an extra pillow if you want one. Food was ok, but as I don't like hot... more

Holiday from Hell from CeejaysPaisley
I cannot advise strongly enough to travellers NEVER to use this hotel. From beginning to end of our short stay (we relocated to another hotel after four stressful days!) it was one crisis to the next. The hygiene both in our room and the hotel was disgusting, the staff ignorant to british guests and their "all inclusive" offer was a joke where you have to pay for water and snacks ! This is by far the worst hotel my wife and I have ever stayed at, and we would feel heartfelt sympathy for any family who arrived there and were not in a postition to relocate as we were.
Excellent Value for Money from annieoDublin
The hotel very close to train station but a drag to the beach. We asked for a room on high floor with pool view. We got the high floor but not a pool view. Food was fine. Lots of salads and lots of choiches. The fish dishes were very nice and different every night. Food was replenished when required. I cannot understand why people complain. The food was excellent value for what we paid and we had free wine and water with dinner. You would want to be very difficult to please if you left the restaurant hungry. Yes, there were queues at meal times most days but we never had to wait for too long for a table. There were queues also for the three small lifts but that didn't bother us too much as we were on holidays and weren't rushing anywhere. The room was fine, not very big with small balcony and cleaned regularly. Towels changed every day if needed. We didn't use the bar so I cannot comment. The hotel was absolutely fine for us and we would certainly recommend it but we prefer to stay in the La Carihuela area right beside the sea. It was fabulous value for money and we would stay again if we couldn't get accommodation in La Carihuela. A Farrell, Dublin
rubbish from adds1
this hotel was a disrace the staff were terrible to the british food was tasteless and bland u had to fight the geriatrics off to even get near the buffet if you wanted to get salt and pepper off the spanish there u had to be preparred for a dual they were very rude the lifts was an experiance in itself 3 lifts at snail pace and again the lifts say 6 persons but the oldies are content to cram as many in as possible pushing the british to the back and there only going up 1 floor was horrendos deffinatly for older people dont even think of putting any music on after 8pm u WILL get reported deffo would NEVER go here again
no problem from steveandrach_h
Stayed there for 3 nights recently on full board basis incl drinks at meal times £36 per nite for two of us- had a room on top floor with small but useable balcony. Room was of fair size with comfy beds & clean bathroom. Staff seemed friendly Food selection & quality was good Entertainment was poor In centre of town, close to bus & train station & shops 10 min walk to beach No complaints - 3 star - good value for money
not a nice place from kaylewi
we arrived at the flamingo hotel on the 28 feb looked very nice but once you are passed reception a very different story. food was a disgrace restaurant staff not very nice unless you were spanish. went all inclusive would have been cheaper going self catering most of the time ate out nt a good place for children. entertainment thats a laugh they have so much to do but its not on. would not recommend it to anybody.( you have to be a spanish oap to get any kind of recignision)
Well placed for centre from amyc5783
Well, let me start at the beginning......... Firstly we had a late flight in and did not arrive at the hotel until about 9pm (I recommend getting the train as it costs only 1 euro 30, much cheaper than a taxi). The receptionist was a bit of a grumpy sod and told us the meal times. So, on checking in we went to our room and unpacked. After this it was about 9.45pm so decided to go and get something to eat. We knew that the restaurant closed at this time so we went to reception to ask if there was any places round about that we could go for a bite to eat and the guy at reception was very arrogant and told us that there had already been a cold meal placed aside but since we didn't go straight down to the restaurant after dropping off our bags then we couldn't get it. So, he did suggest a chinese next door or McDonald's down on the main street (he had a chuckle to himself, what an arse!). So we opted just to go out and find somewhere ourselves. The room was ok, but the balcony was a bit small. Only one seat and a table so we took the stool out from the bathroom (which was very nice and clean apart from nearly running out of loo roll nearer the end of our stay and there not being a bath mat on several occassions). We were all inclusive and all we got for a snack outwith meal times was a cheese and ham sandwich with NO BUTTER! The breakfast was lovely, however, on a few occassions the staff were a bit crap as I asked for brown sauce and they didn't understand a word I was saying. Seems to cater more for the spanish residents. Evening meals were just ok. The chinese 2 doors down is very nice and we opted to go there on our last night. Nice walk down San Miguel Street takes you down to the beach where we found a nice little beach side cafe (I think it was called Jamaica?!!!) where we made our local every day for a glass of vino to while away the lazy hours in the afternoon (just accross from Antonios). A little further along walking towards Malaga we found a good english bar where we ate once and it was lovely, the name I can't remember but it was something like JB's (sports bar), beside a chinese restaurant. One day we decided to walk from Benalmadena back to our Hotel, that was an experience in itself as it took about 3 hours, but worth it! The best thing about the Hotel I have to say was the bar staff, Pepe was absolutely fantastic and is a real credit to the Hotel.
Good Value for Money from Minigetaway
We booked the hotel on line for a 5 day break. The Hotel is 2 mins walk from the railway station ( just over a euro from the airport) with the town centre shops and bars the same distance from the hotel. The reception was excellent with good English spoken the room was very clean with everything you needed,TV with ITV and sky news, clean bathroom and safe for 3 euros per day. We were B&B, (tip get down for breakfast before 08.30 or after 09.45 as the Spanish do take it over a bit) and have to say Breakfast was very good with fried breakfast as well as continental with the normal juices,fruit bread and coffee. Not sure what some people expect for breakfast but we found it as good as any hotel. The cleaner came in daily and kept the room clean and replaced the towels. Not sure what the hotel would be like in the summer as the pool area looks small and with only 3 lifts you may need to take the stairs once or twice. Can not comment on the entertainment as we went out to eat. Overall good value for money.
worst hotel so far, from jumpin joe fae kdy,fife from josephmcquade
on a recent visit to the flamingo hotel i was not impressed it is probably the worst hotel ive ever stayed in. the dinning room staff were ignorant more time for spanish residents. not a good selection of food, only ate in the hotel 2 times, balconies are tiny, the entertainment was unreal, the cleaner we only seen once. my overall view is i would not reccomend this hotel to anybody brittish as if there is spanish residents staying in the hotel the brits will be treated and catered for in a different manner.
Good hotel or bad? from hotelrating
Well, firstly I must say that this hotel was in a perfectly central location for shops, bars and the underground. Also it was clean. The downside really had to be the food and entertainment. Now, I was there from 29/12/07 - 2/1/08 - New Year. Considering it was the festive season, the food choices were terrible for all inclusive - the drinks stopped at 11pm and there were no choice of snack available between meals - this is the point of all inclusive, no??? If I wanted to buy food I would have went half board. Also the entertainment was very poor. Nothing started until around 10pm and it was mainly catering for the spanish rather than british tourists. From what I hear there was due to be more on during the day after New Year, however this is no good to me as I'm now home :( Perhaps a different time of year would have helped this little hotel impress me. Sadly, it was this time I was there and it did not impress me at all. My verdict - if you want the hotel to be your main source of food and entertainment, DON'T go. If you want a central location but plan on hardly being in the hotel, perfect place for you.
spanish OAPS from maisy1966
10 of us stayed for a long weekend rooms were fine food was basic but what do you expect for £18 a night Most annoying was attitde of spanish OAPs ,they were que jumping, rude, meal times was like a scene at the ok corall i was really surprised at there bad manners and lack of respect for other people wont go back but if i did would take body armour
