Hotetur Bahia Flamingo Hotel Reviews
" First Stay, Not Impressed "
Submitted By: treboreel
My wife and I stayed for two weeks, on arrival, staff NOT very friendly, then had to drag luggage up three flights of stairs.
The 'hot food' is always lukewarm or cold, the choice was appalling and mainly consisted of chips, fish, chicken,and some meat dishes, we had a pealla once which WAS quite good, always salad was available, but little more.
Night entertainment was mostly on Thursday and Saturday which lasted from 9pm until 11pm
with three other nights over the two weeks.
Hot drinks at meal times were only available at breakfast.
Very few snacks during the day.
The Hotel was described as 'Colditz' as food was FORBIDDEN to be taken out of the restruent.
No food to be taken to rooms, if detected, cleaners were expected to report this OFFENCE to the management.
Hotel is totally unsuitable for children of any age, nothing for them to do, and they do need snacks all day long.
The t.v. in all rooms, only english channels were sky news or sky sport.
The safe in all rooms has a charge of 18 euro per week.
If you ignored the bad points I have made, the stay in teneriffe was lovely, it would not be too difficult for the NEW management to put right the 'cold food' and improve on the nightly entainment to make this hotel a great holiday.
We 'may' go again with the hope that these inprovements were met.

" 2 is being generous "
Submitted By: eves
Please dont go to flamingo if you like hot food and variety.The rooms were clean and the cleaners always very polite and helpful, but not the rest of the staff. If you could find a barman at the bar you were very lucky, and 11.00pm the bar shut even if you wanted to buy more drink. The entertainment was on 2 nights and even then the receptionists didnt know what night entertainment was on.The management did not know how to manage the staff and ignored complaints. Overall the staff other than the cleaners were rude and did not want to be there and neither did I!!!!!
Advice: Quite area and hilly but overall nice resort.
Activities: loro park was fantastic dont miss it.

Submitted By: benita
Disgusting hotel!! We were booked for a Christmas All Inclusive break. The food was cold, covered in flies and totally inedible. The Bar closed at 8pm on Christmas eve leaving all the guests without ameneties to even purchase a beverage. There was no entertainment provided and the heated pool was freezing!!! Hotel staff were rude and the manager really didn't care. Avoid at all cost!!!
Advice: Do not go to this Hotel.. New Management

It was a nice hotel spotless, food was very nice but the swimming pool was cold.Not alot to do for the kids but it didn't really matter because the weather was nice and we were around the pool every day.Some staff could be a bit more friendly.

" we stayed at the bahia flamingo in... "
Submitted By: Mrs S Ayrton
we stayed at the bahia flamingo in july & because it was a late booking we did't know what to expect especially when we read some of the reviews(some good,some bad)but i have to say it was a lovely hotel with lovely staff.the food was not bad but sometimes a bit cold( depending on which hot plate it came out of)full breakfast real english sausage/cereals/toaster (that worked)at lunch & dinner there were always plenty of salad & plenty of ice cream for the kids every mealtimes sometimes 4/5 flavors.always chips/pasta & usually 2/3 fish or meat dishes.the snacks were ok but they were very repetative,the rooms especially the family rooms were brill plenty big enough with a separate bedroom for us.the rooms had all just been refurbished,we had new towels which were changed every day & the room was cleaned every day.we had ceiling fans which worked in the bed room but on slow moving in thekids room,but we thought they were ok.the pool was clean & there were always plenty of sunbeds.it had only been reopened for 4 wks after being taken over & although the staff were the same the management wasn't.they have pool table & table football,the also have a number of kids machines with toys/bouncy balls etc.all of which cost 1 euro.so even if your all inclusive you still pay for these.apart from that there is no entertainment at all so even though its nice during the day did get a bit boring at night,we were alright cos our kids are under 7 so they were ready for bed at 10.30,but the bar shut at 11 sometimes a bit sooner if there wern't alot round it.another downside was they served all drinks in coca cola paper cups even at night,only time we got a glass was in the dining room,so if you didt drink your drink swiftly it started to leak!it is in a quiet area only a couple of bars a short walk away & we were told we could use the other hotels at night as they had entertainment but the drinks were pricey!not a lot of gift shops half dozon or so couple of supermarkets.we would go back but proberly hire a car at the airport.it cost us 53 euros from the airport to the hotel which we didt think was to bad but on the way back the hotel rang a taxi for us & it only cost us 42 euros.we had a very enjoyable holiday at this hotel it was just a pity there was no entertainment at night just a bit of background music.but we made lots of new friends & made the most of it.we came back rested as we proberly went to bed earlier there than at home.so if your a party animal dont bother going to this part.it is quite a walk into los gigantes which has more nightlife.the tennis courts & volley ball courts were out of bounds when we were there think they were doing them up.

IGNORE negative comments,
the staff are friendly
the pool is clean
the rooms are spotless
the food is edible
the views are amazing
the free drinks are great
only problem is that its in a hilly area, and i didnt enjoy the black beach (not too nice on holiday photo's covered in black sand) but the water was lovely.
we went to the arena and went on a dolphin boat ride, it was brilliant, i would recommend.
oh and the sony shops everywhere DO NOT BUY, DODGY DEALERS !!!

" Me and my partner went here for a... "
Submitted By: Miss Kirstie
Me and my partner went here for a week away for my birthday. we wanted a week relaxing somewhere with guaranteed sun and a nice hotel and thats what we got.
we went all inclusive and definately got our moneys worth. the food was abit repetative but was eatable, the bar was open from 10 and their wasnt a limit on how many drinks you could get at any 1 time like other places we've been to.
The staff were very friendly and we joined in with some of the entertainment activities. The rooms were cleaned everyday apart from sundays and were big enough for the 2 of us with a living room, a bedroom and a bathroom. We had a lovely view over looking the pool and the sea.
It is a quiet hotel and a quiet town but if you want a relaxing place this is the place to go.
The only problem we had was the transfer on the way back to the airport, our flight was in the afternoon and was told that we would be picked up from the hotel at 8.15am which was alot earlier then other people on our flight, at 7.40 the reception called our room to say it was waiting and if we werent downstairs in 5 mins it would leave, which we had to rush about to make it. we made the transfer which left us waiting in the airport for over 5 hours which is not the hotels fault but the operators fault which i will be taking it up.

THE FRUIT JUICE DURING BREAKFAST WAS LEFT OVERS, THE ONLY THING FRESH IN THE HOTEL WAS THE TOWELS!! . THE SHOW IN THE EVE WAS LIKE BEING IN AN OLD PEOPLES DAY CENTRE!!.

Submitted By: Mr D Allan
If you want to stay in a hotel that is a little tired, be served by a barman with love bites on his neck who calls you mate, deal with occasionally surly and unhelpful reception staff, have the previous room occupants hair and fluff stored under the bed, sleep? on a plastic covered matress, be presented with mediocre, repetitive food in the restaurant, then this is the place for you, but, it does have nice views.

We had a great Christmas here. The views are spectacular to the mountains and sea. Our room was very big and cleaned daily with clean towels and sheets. The food was very good (no snacks though). The entertainment wasn't up to much but the holiday was very relaxing. The Christmas meal was excellent. All the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Flies, this hotel has a massiveproblem with flies, all over the place, the maids constanly sprayed lemon air raid spray, and as soon as the food gets going the flies are all over it.
The bar, if you dont drink much you will be ok, as never a bar man at the beach bar, you have to wait until someone sees you from the restaurant. staff very rude especially the little fat man behind the bar. reception staff never knew when the nite entainment was on, out of severn nites they had 2 nites of entainment with a duet, who looked as bored as we did. PLEASE NOTE IF YOU HAVE A CHILD LIKE I DID DO NOT GO HERE, THEY CANT GO IN THE POOL AS ITS LIKE ICE AND THE TILES ARE SLIPPERY, THE FLIES BUZZ ALL DAY, THEY CAN T HAVE POP AS NEVER A BARMAN THERE, AND THE FOOD IS FORBIDDEN TO LEAVE THE RESTAURANT, BUT I TOOK IT OUT, I HAD PAID FULL PRICE FOR MY LITTLE GIRL AND NO WAY WAS I GOING TO BE TOLD I COULD NOT TAKE FOOD OUT.AT NIGHT I WITNESSED BUCKETS OF A BLEACH SUBSTANCE BEING THROWN INTO THE POOL TO CLEAN IT. the owners of the hotel would turn up in the day, three big fat blokes and wander around if there were god gifts, and if you questioned them they would just say enjoy the sun. i met two nice familes whilst on hols, one couple from essex and another from germany, they all felt the same, my daughter and the german families little boy were the only children and not to be able to use the pool or do anything was such a shame as we had paid the same price as them as an adult...SO DONT GO ITS REALLYLIKE FAULTY TOWERS. i spent three days down the road at a 4 star hotel called playa arena, save a bit extra and go ther, they have heated outdoor pools, cushioned sunloungers and happy staff who are clean and well resteneted, unlike the shambles i had witnessed.
Advice: beach not very good, and you cant go into the sea as the waves are to rough
Activities: finding a four star hotel down the road
