Submitted By: Mrs T Mcdonald
just got back from flamingo playa apts yesterday very clean and basic accomodation weather brill i went with my boyfriend and daughter my two sons 19 and 17 took 3 of their friends wouldnt recomend taken teenagers for the hotel staff did nothing but complain about them.They are boys jumping in the pool and having a laugh they was older people around the pool on mobillity scooters going mad for they splashed them,sorry go some where else who catter for these people paid just as much as they have for the holiday.I would never go to these apartments again even iv it was paid for us,saved for 12months and it was a disaster air con not working even though they charged me for it couldnt get my money back the safes wouldnt lock paid for that also,my son saton a plastic chair around pool fell through it tried to charge me 2o0 euros for it what a joke never again.Iwould say if you have booked this apartment i would try to change it to some where else dont waste your money or end up having a shit time like we did.

" We in the past had alreay been in the... "
Submitted By: Miss C Brady
We in the past had alreay been in the Flamingo Playa a number of times and loved it. It was a surprise to go back to find out it was independently owned and no longer owned by Thomson - however they are still tour operators for the hotel.
The hotel is clean and spacious and the staff are extremely friendly. The only criticism I have is the lifts. They are narrow, hot and slow and we were put on the 16th floor. At first I was scared but I then got used to it.
For people with children or elderly people I would suggest you ask for a lower floor apartment!
I have read a number of reviews about a bad maid service but I never had any problems, you will find if you ask the maids to do something for you they will be more than happy to. I was there for a week and they came 3 times!!!

" Arrive at hotel to be told we were on... "
Submitted By: Miss T Appleby
Arrive at hotel to be told we were on 19th floor even tho we had email hotel and asked forl ow floor due to having a 7yr with us which they had already agreed to do, told we would be moved next morning. That night we had lads and lassies banging on door at 5 in morning trying to get in. Got moved next morning to level 6 which was no better for noise during night really need ear plugs kids playing football outside there rooms at 2 in morning, groups of hens and stag do, swimming pool was very small for the size of hotel and very deep could not stand in any part of big pool. spent our time down beach.
On a good note rooms were very big but only cleaned once during our stay, had to ask for clean towels. Hotel ok for groups but not for familys would not advise any one with kids to go if you want any sleep could not wait to get home says family hotel but really it is not.

" Me and my two friends booked 10... "
Submitted By: Miss S E Walley
Me and my two friends booked 10 nights at the flamingo playa. Our main complaints were is the maids as they only changed our sheets and towels twice in 10 nights, the lifts are very slow and you have to pay for your sunbeds. ALSO... there are two buildings being built straight across the way so it is a bit noisy. Everything else was good the rooms were really spacious, kitchen was quite big and the balcony was a nice addition. Overall enjoyed my stay.

" My partner and I just got back from a... "
Submitted By: Miss E McCaffery
My partner and I just got back from a week at this resort and I would recommend it to anyone. We absolutely loved it. Alot of people complained about the all inclusive benefits being in the other hotel however as we were self catering, this did not bother us.
We found it close enough to all the pubs and clubs but not too close that it would keep us awake all night.
The Titanic bar round the corner is brilliant, we spent most of our time there, great staff, great food, great prices.
The apartments were clean, doors locked fine, great view of beach, very spacious. Only reason i marked as a 9 and not a 10 is due to the air conditioning as i wasnt happy having to pay for this so suffered the whole week without it!!!
All in all, this was a brilliant holiday and i would go back tomorrow without a doubt.
Hope you like it as much as we did!

" After reading some of the reviews on... "
Submitted By: Mr R Wood
After reading some of the reviews on here we were a bit dubious, however we found there was nothing to worry about. Our apartment was clean, modern, spacious and well equipped.
The kitchen had a ceramic hob, oven, kettle and toaster. The bathroom was up-to-date, and
the towels were changed twice although we were only there for a week. The usual coin-slot t.v. had three English channels - BBC1, ITV, and a movie channel. We didn't have much to do with the staff but when we did they were helpful enough. We only tried breakfast once - typical Spanish interpretation of an English breakfast - only if you're stuck. Best deal just down the road at Wookey Hollow for 4 euros inc. tea or coffee. Safe was cheap at 10 euros, and we kept the room on for an extra 25 euros to avoid being kicked out at 11 am with nothing to do for the next 10 hours until pickup. Taking everything into consideration we would recommend this complex, and would go back again.

" we were staying Flamingo Playa... "
Submitted By: pigsdontfly
we were staying Flamingo Playa Apartments but we had to go to flamingo benidorm for all our food and drink which we didnt mind but we spent most of the time there.
our room was horrible the locks didnt work on any of the doors when we wanted the air conditiong they had to come up and fix it before we used it and the customer service was horrible.
it was one of my worst holidays ever, it was a good thing we were only going for a week.
when you used the lifts it felt like it was going to break down but you had to wait 10 mins for it to arrive. i think it was more like a 2* hotel

" Just got back from a week all... "
Submitted By: Mr Kevin McElduff
Just got back from a week all inclusive with my wife, two kids 6 and 8 and two pensionisters: the in laws. Food, booze, entertainment and facilities at the next door Flamingo Benedorm. The weather was fabulous for March although I was one of the few with my daughter to use the pool. Cold yes but fine when you are in. There's plenty of food and some of it is very good. Some of it a bit off but always something for everyone. The usual local beer and spirits for all inclusive but that's fine. Usual entertainment for the oldies and kids but fine for this part of the season. I'm sure it changes in the summer and that's not my holiday was designed to achieve. The apartments are very good, clean an spacious. There are two huge tower blocks going up opposite so it's not much of a view but that's Benedorm. The bulding works didn't cause a problem. Overall a great family focused break for the kids and the oldies, enough to make it fun for me and my wife and for the price outstanding value for money.

Submitted By: Mrs E Willmore
went to these apptment 3 years ago they were bad then worse now only makeover was kitchen was clean but no entertainment had to pay 1 euro to watch telly for 1 hour even if u only watch for ten minuits and turn the telly off it still takes the whole euro big con even the staff said it was wrong at moment two big bld sites face ur room and noise from 8am to 830pm was told to close my windows and curtains then i wouldnt see the site or hear the noise .had to pay for sunbeds place really should be used as hostel u can use sister hotel but because its all inclusive dont stand a chance off getting drinks or use of sunbeds to packed .ask holiday agents about bldworks as we just came back 8 march and they only started also up hill last block before motorway and mountains hotel clean but i think maybe good for growds hens stags because they dont mind finding there own entertainment and the walk overall very basic and if u shop around could get better and cheaper these appts not for familys orelderly or someone with back problems. rember agents mainly discribing sister hotel when ur asking about the apptments and facilities. rember telly could cost u over 30 pounds or more week if uhave kids or weather not good and u stay in because ther is nothing to do in this appt hotel good luck

" This holiday was great! First time My... "
Submitted By: Miss SL Bryan
This holiday was great! First time My family, my friend and I went to benidorm!
We really enjoyed it, however, we would warn you that the hotel is very high there are 21 floors! The receptionists were very helpful too! The hotel has computers for the younger children, also has a big pool and a little pool for kids!
We would advise you to come to this hotel and come to benidorm because its a great holiday! Our favourite bar was tommy's bar they have lots of entertainment e.g.Bingo, Comedians and lots more. This bar is also great for children! This hotel is also not that far from the beach its only a little walk. You can meet lots of friends like me and my friend did. Well you should go to benidorm its FAB!!

" Hi, overall a good hotel. Staff very... "
Submitted By: Mr S Gerry
Hi, overall a good hotel. Staff very helpful and hotel clean. What I liked most was its the first hotel I’ve been to with no corridor and only four rooms on each landing, hence you don’t hear the high heel brigade that wake everyone up during the night when they come in drunk, take your shoes off in the lift ladies and give other guests a bit of peace.
Overall a nice place but next time I’ll pick a hotel a wee bit central. It’s a long walk up the hill on the way back.
Finally, as everyone will tell you, Benidorm is full of gypsy muggers late at night, just like any other town in the UK. You’ll only get targeted if you give them half a chance. Put your cardigan over your shoulder bag, that way I won’t get snatched by a pillion scooter passenger and you end up on the road yourself if you decide to hold on to it. I seen a blokes digital camera suddenly vanishing from his shirt pocket, buy the time it sank in, the snatcher was well off with his booty, so be warned, if you flash it you’re a target.

" Clean apartments, exactly what I... "
Submitted By: Mr N Golden
Clean apartments, exactly what I expected. Pool fine and many bars/restaurants around,
You won’t go wrong at the playa - there were 12 of us (lads) on a 30th party and we had a ball.
What puzzles me is the comments from people complaining of noisy stag parties etc etc
I wouldn’t dream of going to Benidorm with my wife and children, however on a "lads" do then of course so if you don’t want noise and noisy lads etc, pick a more appropriate resort.
