Nice clean hotel but the food was awful. If you are a vegetarian do not go All Inclusive as you will not enjoy the food. The best meal of the day was breakfast as there was variety. The chef did not have any imagination for lunchtime or evening meal. There were 7 hot trays... more

I re booked this hotel having spent a nice few days there last year 2009. The standards have dropped considerably. I did not expect luxury and am very realistic about what you get in a three star all inclusive package. The rooms are reasonbly furnished and beds comfortable... more

very enjoyable although not faultless
from ashlee-kate
i have just returned from a week all inclusive holiday at this hotel and i must say i enjoyed the holiday greatly although i can't say everything was perfect, i found the selection of food on offer at meal time rather limited and some nights i found myself ordering pizza for me and my family the four year old in my party did not have much to eat for the hole of our stay beacuse the food mostly was fish and salads which was not for us. I must say that all the staff were very friendly and work incredibly hard throughout the day and into the evening. The entertainment on offer was limited but very good considering 1 man had to entertain the whole hotel,the acts that were on every night(although i didn't see them beacuse it was too crowded) i am told were very good. The rooms were cleaned everyday by very pleasant maids. I wouldn't really recomend this hotel to teens and young people as the hotel was sort of "in the sticks". We were a little bored in the evenings but we found a lovely ice cream shop about 10/15 minutes down the road. We used the TITSA buses to get around tenerife which was both cheap and easy to use i would recomend this instead of the organised outings which can be over priced. We had a great holiday this year and to anyone that is going to this hotel, go in with an open mind and try new things you never know you may just like it!
It's an all inclusive, but not as we know it.
from Barby305
Just back from half term week, 2 children, 4 adults. I agree with others that this hotel is not fully "all inclusive" you have to pay if you want TV, there are no day time snacks, no air-con. These are available at other A.I. hotels we have stayed at in Tenerife. However it is a much smaller more intimate hotel than most and we did warm to the place eventually. As with other reviewers we encountered problems with the rooms we had asked for and the night porter who hands out the keys for late arrivals was unable to help. The reception staff when they arrived did in all fairness get us the two adjacent rooms on ground level we had booked after many phone calls to I assume the manager. Part of the problem we had was the fact that the Hotel has no lift and one of our party could not make the stairs to the fourth floor. Rooms basic but spacious and clean, however the bathrooms have seen better days. The food was average for A.I. nothing to write home about. On the plus side the view from the hotel toward La Gomera is stunning and the location is close to Playa Del Arena and Los Gigantes. The staff (nightporter excluded) were pretty good as was some of the evening entertainment. It is a bit of a scramble to get a sun bed in the mornings as the poolside area can barely accomodate all the guests when the place is full. Probably would not go back to Bahia Flamingo again but would happily return to the resort.
Good value for money
from CazAnnB
I have just got back from a 2 week stay at the Flamingo and can honestly say we got our monies worth.I was travelling with friends elderly parents and teenage boys and we all had a good time.The staff was friendly and helpful and the entertainment guy really worked hard although we found it far too hot to sit in the bar in the evening to watch the entertainment and the bingo does get on your nerves.The rooms were very big and clean and the views are spectacular but the downside is 50 stairs to climb.The pool is clean and has plenty of sun loungers and there are several activities to enjoy if you want including the water polo in the afternoon which was fun to watch even if you dont want to take part.The food was edible and warm if a little boring and chips every day does seem a bit much but there are a few places to eat nearby if you do get fed up. We would recommend Pilgrims for good english fayre having eaten there a couple of times during our stay.On the whole we got what we paid for which was a cheap all inclusive holiday but we all enjoyed our stay here and I would certainly stay there again but maybe for a week instead of two.
The full facts about Bahia Flamingo
from gordanbennett
Stayed at the Bahia Flamingo in Playe de la Arena in October 06. Found it to be a nice, get what you paid for Hotel. Staff were always polite and helpful, rooms were basic but lovely and clean. Not a holiday for young people as the nearest town to decent nightlife is about 25mins away which will cost you 20-25 quid in a taxi. Food was fine, but very much the same every night. No other snacks available on the all inclusive except for the 3 meals a day and small pots of ice cream from behind the pool bar. Pictures of Hotel on the website make it look like the beach is across the road, when in fact the beach is a good 15 minute walk. If you do choose to Holiday in this Hotel make sure you visit the Harbour in Los Gigantes where there are lots of Bars and Shops on a small scale. If you are not into Holidaying with a Hotel full of Brits this is not the place for you. Scottish and English dominate this Hotel, with general complaining and moaning. Myself and my 2 friends paid £350 each for 9 nights and I found this hotel to be plesant enough.
not allinclusive
from tanya1604
stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks (3 adults 2 teenagers and 2 kids) and can honestly say was worst allinclusive i have stayed in. good points the rooms were clean and big and the view from the hotel is great. the guy doing the entertainment worked really hard 5 days a week from 11am until about 11.30pm. nice pool and plenty of sun loungers. (if you race for them) evening entertainment was ok and sometimes very funny as it was so bad you had to laugh. bad points food was limited (ok if you like fish) had two teenage girls with us who had to go out and eat every night. we went out for about 5 meals. left overs from lunch were used in salads or you have cold fish fingers on there own. only drink on offer was water or red/white wine in evenings. staff were unfriendly and on occasions shouted at the children who weren't doing anything wrong. first three nights there was no vodka when i asked about this was told to choose something else explained i don't like anything else and was told stuff really. no snacks no kids club beach not as close as advertised steps to rooms were dangerous and couple of people slipped however we did enjoy our holiday only because of the lovely families/couples we met would not be going back to this hotel which is a shame as hotel looks nice rooms are big and with a bit of thought could be great.
not good
from shazm
just returned from the hotel bahia flamingo,first the good point the hotel is clean the rooms are well maintained and the cleaner comes in every day,that is all i can say that is good about this hotel. we stayed for one week all inclusive,the food is bad always cold,not alot of choice and trays donot get filled when empty straight away so you are waiting around to have food.the hotel is not really for english people,it is full of spanish 85% and germans 10%(who can be very nice) i would say 5% of english were there,and this can be very intimidating. the spanish are catered for very well and the staff tend to ignore the english people.the hotel is miles away from the good pubs and entertainment,the hotel entertainment is not good when you are there trying to listen the spanish are so loud you have to go outside because they give you a headache? the place is very steep and is full of hills so not good for the elderly or unfit people. this is the worse hotel i have stayed in for all inclusive you get no snacks,breakfast is 8-10am and is not good(eggs are really bad) lunch is 12.30-2.30 and not much variety dinner is 6.30-9.30 left overs from lunch and salad if your lucky. you have to pay for drinks in the restaurant even if your all inclusive but you can get water free? the hotel is very noisey at night with the spanish all getting together and partying they might stop at 2am if your lucky. there is a security man but he never says anything to the people in question,who knows why. i have stayed in quite alot of places and alot cheaper than here and i can say this has been the worse place i have ever stayed. please donot go here and waste your money i spent alot more money because i took my children out into Los Giantes this is a nice harbour about 5 minutes in a taxi,but if you walked it would take 25 minutes.i donot like being negative about places as we are in a differant country and they wont be like your own culter but i have to say how it is because i donot want people wasting their hard earned money on this hotel.
All inclusive????
from andy123l
I booked this hotel as an all inclusive for two adults and one child we arrived at the hotel 0200hrs and was greeted by a scruffy man who looked like the hotel caretaker not a receptionist who gave us our key and told us approx where the room was finding meal timings and where the restaurant was situated was hard as he did not speak english at all. there was NO kids club as advertised and the bar snacks (hot dogs chips etc )which were also advertised on the hotels website was none exstant infact the only food you could get between meals were local crisps which cost 1.40 euros The room was basic there were two single beds and a solid sofa which did not turn into a third bed, there was no hot water at all. There was a safe and a TV both had to be hired for extra cost (ALL INClUSIVE???) yea right. The pool and the view were in my opinion the best part of this hotel if i knew all of this before i booked i would not have booked this hotel, finally they seem to make out in the advert for the hotel that the beach is just out of view and is part of the hotel well its a five min walk up a steep hill and although is a lovely beach and well worth visiting it has nothing whatsoever to do with the hotel dont be fooled by the adverts and pretty pictures from my experience of this hotel its not worth the money.
Very enjoyable and would definately go again
from A TripAdvisor Member
We booked the Hotel in advance before we read any reviews and we are glad we did because there were some mixed ones although i think the odd ones who give it 1/10 should be taken with a pinch of salt. It is a 3 star hotel and the rooms were spacious and always clean which is all you can ask from the room. We stayed all inclusive and were a bit worried about the food because we have a 9 month old son and so were quite tied to the hotel. We were quickly put to rest as the food was excellent, we didn't have a bad meal when we were there, if we had gone for 2 weeks it would have been a bit repetitive but this is always the case with "all Ins". There are lots of hot and cold options so lots for all. The only people who complained were English people who wanted chips with every meal and also proper english (Danish) bacon, but it was only a minority The Pool was clean and there was always a lifeguard which was reassuring. All staff were excellent and so friendly and willing to help especially in the restaurant they would even wash the bowls we used to feed our son when he ate. The hotel wasn't full as we went early June and this suited us to the ground, the pool would be a bit of a jam in August but the beach (400M) was very nice. The only minus point for us was the security locks on the window and patio doors need upgrading especially on the rooms on the first floor but i never heard any bad stories. All in all a great holiday and would definately go again

Spent a week going all inclusive with my lover for a short easter break to celebrate special horny katie's 23rd birthday. Hotel was more than fine with the staff and room above average for what we paid for. Food wasnt great but again its a hotel not a resturant so dont get too excited about the cuisine - but theres still enough of a choice. Hotel entertainment isnt top dollar and quite on the corny side but that just added to the week. Above all a very enjoyable week spent at the hotel with no complaints. Would advise to check in during the day rather than night as night time reception isnt exactly upto speed. not naming any names = Miguel
After reading these mixed reviews we were uncertain of what we had booked!
from goldencaz
The 2 of us were lucky enough to book a week in the sun at Christmas, our first visit to Tenerife and had a good deal on a half board double room which included a special gala Christmas Dinner on Christmas Day. We later discovered that the supplement for this on normal tarif was 25 euros per person, and I must say there was such an amazing amount of really excellent food on the buffet that evening, I don't think there were any complaints! The hotel chef's excelled themselves that night, but the rest of the meals I must say were not that attractive on occasions. The evening meals were similar and we only had canarian potatoes (which I love)on the menu once. If you like fish you can't go wrong, we had no complaints at all with the fish but it was a bit boring eating it most of the time! I would avoid eating their pork as that was the pits! At breakfast we ended up trying all of the different coffees from the machines and it was really awful, we were very glad we took our travel kettle with tea bags, coffee and coffeemate as we ended up making our own several times a day. We were a bit annoyed that it cost extra for the safe and to loan the TV remote to use the TV in the room, as we had TV last year in Lanzarote and it was mostly spanish channels we gave it a miss this time. There are a few bars nearby if you need to see the football! We didn't use the hotel bar as the drinks we purchased with our meals were expensive, so we took a stroll to the local bars, we can recommend the highland/ireland showbar by the Playa Arena beach, down some steps - there's karaoke every night and although we don't normally go for that entertainment it was enjoyable as their resident singer doesn't force you to join in if you don't want to, is very friendly and takes off a variety of singers very well. Nearby is a quieter irish bar that does food but doesn't quite have the same atmosphere. The Chinese restaurant above does an excellent set meal offer with free wine too and the few shops there have all that you need without being too touristy with souvenirs and stuff like at Los Christianos and Playa de las Americas (those resorts are too busy and hectic for us 40 yr olds!) If you enjoy the quieter resorts then you can't beat this area near to Los Gigantes for scenery and relaxation at this time of year. We enjoyed many complimentary glasses of wine with Richard, a jewellery specialist who owns the shop 'Shalamar' on the beach front row of shops, he has a fine selection of jewellery for all tastes and we, along with others from our hotel, made a few last minute christmas purchases from him at very good rates. All in all we enjoyed a good holiday with good amenities on the beach, a nice hotel location and although, as Richard suggested we would have enjoyed more luxury at the 'Playa de la Arena' 4* hotel nearby (at 3 times the price)we were lucky to have a good room, excellent room service and nice sea view where we were. Although, when we checked out we didn't get a 'thank you', or 'goodbye' or any wishes from reception!
