Flamingo Playa Apartments

3 readers found this review helpful

This was an amazing holiday! I am 11 years old and I thoroughly enjoyed my week at the Flamingo Playa. My dad, brother and I found over €60 in the swimming pool and the streets. The market was very useful as I had lost a pair of sunglasses so I bought another pair. The market also sells clothes, necklaces and other novelties.
Overall this was an amazing trip and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.

After reading the reviews on the Flamingo Playa I was slightly concerned but on arrival it wasnt too bad.
PROS:
1)Spacious rooms
2)Clean
3)Not too far from the shops (although the nearby shop is VERY exspensive so bear in mind if you go self-catering)
4)The woman on reception is very helpful
5)About 15 minute walk from the nightlife
CONS:
1)You have to pay extra for sun loungers (That's per day by the way!)
2)The pool attendant is one of the rudest people I have ever met
3)The main pool is so deep that you cant touch the floor which would be a worry if you have kids
4)The lifts are awful! Kept breaking down & you have to wait ages! Very small to so if you have a few kids in pushchairs...good luck!
5) Too many English people
All in all, its an ok place but I wouldnt go back there. But there again I wouldnt go to Benidorm again either. Dont get me wrong its an ok place, depending on what youre going for. If like me it was for the sole purpose of drinking alcohol then you'll be fine!
Saying that, you must visit the Old Town. Got some lovely authentic resturants.

Just back from a week long holiday staying in the Flmingo Playa Apartments. Amazing time there. The hotel was excellent spacious, clean and the staff were more than helpful to us. Was on the 15th floor but the lifts were all working and no problems. Read some of the reviews about the building work goin on near it, wasnt a problem at all. Apartment was cleaned twice and got towels as requested!!Would recommend it and we will be back to stay there!!

Just got back from flamingo. Hotel bar staff very ignorant never seen any of them smiling the whole week we was there, also heard alot of other people complaining about them. Hotel maids came in once the whole time we was there which meant we had too rinse the towels ourself. Apartments were average, modern kitchen and bathroom bedroom was a decent size. Overall a good holiday but wouldnt go back too the flamingo playa.

we have just got back . never again will i go to these apts , the whole fortnight we was there our bed linen was changed once and the towels 3 times . and thats cause we threaten to dump smelly bed linen on reception desk . the air con leak water right bad , the only good thing was the room size and the modern kitchen . the pool was small and totally different to what was shown in brouchure . no kids club , no entertainment . for the best entertainment go to tommys down road 3 artist a night on . also for a good cheap drink and food go to the titanic bar very friendly staff. the food at bar at flamingo playa was average but thats when the bar men could be bother to cook it. very slow at serving . only one lift available at night due to the other two being reserve for overflow from allinclusive in next hotel and always breaking down the one night we did see entertainment things was chuck off balcony and one hit my mum causing a nasty bruise on her hand 1.50 for sun beds and 3 euros a day for air con . young ones banging on doors and playing loud music into the early hours and if you ask them to be keep the noise down you were threaten and the security guard was useless he thought it was all funny. my dad is disable and with our 8 yr grandaughter it was not a nice hol for them

Just got back from playa flamingo apartments,myself,wife & 3 boy's(10yrs/12yrs/15yrs).Was worried after reading some of the revues but the apartments were good,no problems with the lock's,safe,air con or lifts.The sheets & towels were changed 3 times 1st week & twice second week.Had to go to flamingo benidorm for all food & drinks which was 100yards away max.The food was good the beer was not great but hey ho it was free.The only complaint would be the nightly entertainment which was pretty poor but plenty of bars around to get good entertainment.

we have not long come back from benidorm i have being to these apartments before this time we took our 2 year old daughter and even though she couldnt go in the kids club we went to the beach allday the hotel has had some changes since we last went and the lifts do break down but it is one of those things after speaking to thomson after reading these reviews they assured me that if there were problems in the hotel the rep would notify thomson and explained that some people just like to moan even if they stayed in 5 star they still would pick faults.the hotel staff was friendly and when i asked for somethink they helped me to there best ability,bar staff was good to and made a fuss of my little girl .the rooms were clean and the linen wasd changed 3 times a week ansd it was nice and clean recomended for families and couples.
