Flamingo Playa Apartments

Yes they are basic, as are a lot of places in Benidorm.
I paid a cheap price and got a cheap place.
I cant believe some people's comments because you can allways pay more and stay somewhere else. If you are going to be picky PAY THE EXTRA!

Where do I start, I asked for a mid height room as mum is 74, with foot problems and likes to stay on the balcony a few afternoons. FLOOR 20 is not mid way. The lifts constantly broke down, so the worry of not getting her out or back up was constant from the start.
Watch out for change over day, you will Be taking the stairs.
I have photos of dried toothpaste left in the bottom of a glass, placed on the lounge cabinet for use, the ball of grime and fluff that stayed in the corner of the bedroom for the whole week!
The grime around the over flow that breaks off in your bath left by passed holiday makers, talk about share and share alike.
this place is disgusting.
Bed sheets with holes in Thank god we took our own pillow cases.
Kitchen appliances here would be illegal.
kettle lid is made not to stay open and doesn’t turn itself off!! so be strong and methodical on refill, bottle kettle and lid. HHHMMM it is possible in time.
A filthy table top cooker with a pull down glass front, and a toaster possibly saved from some ones skip..
All with one plug socket in the kitchen
Last but not least.
We itched all week, if it was one of us I wouldn’t relate it to the apartment but there was 3!! of us.
Entertainment.
evening entertainment is available.
If you want to swim go to a local larger hotel as Flamingo pool is a fridge. With some unusually dangerous!! entrance.
Did i complain, No! why? have you seen the staff and these are the people we would have to talk to and live with for a week!
The customer is very rarely right in Spain.
So we grinned and bared it.
The hotel restaurant will not have 2 of the dishes you request, so if i where you id not even bother.
The pool tables are ripped and the ice hockey unusable.
The Rep did her Job as I suppose she is supposed to do but to tell us where to find a waterskiing facility and we spend 1 hour looking for it when its closed for season is not what we want to here.
All you will get off your rep is what they make commission on.
Don’t listen to the rep about the traveller cheque costs being cheaper to exchange at reception, this is a lie!
I only paid 1 euro on 50Euro travellers exchange out of the hotel, to me that is not dear.
You may think this list is a little long but I wish I had it to read before I booked!!

This was the worst place I have ever had the misfortune to stop at. The accommodation was substandard it was dirty and scruffy, in my opinion if you want a good holiday don’t stop at the flamingo playa as I wouldn’t let a dog sleep there.
Me and my family have just arrived back in England, the first thing that had to be done was have a bath because the bedding was filthy before you even get in it and even after a bath you still feel dirty because the bathrooms are filthy and very smelly.

I would not recommend this apart/hotel to any body I found the apartments were dirty the decor was dated there was no ventilation the whole place had a constant odour of cigarette smoke which I found offensive.
The kettle, toaster were in need of replacement.
The maid service was infrequent.
The bed clothes i.e. Sheets and pillow cases were thin and thread bare.
Thomson should remove this apartment/hotel from their brochure.
