    • Our hotel room - Cancún
    Our hotel room
    by mirrajay
    The Flamingo Resort in Cancun was an excellent hotel - I would recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Cancun. It wasnt the most luxurious hotel I have ever seen, but it was not dumpy by any means. The main pool area was beautiful with a pool bar which was a great addition. Our room was very clean with a nice sized balcony over looking the ocean and a second pool - watch out for the airconditioning though - it will make your room downright COLD if you leave it on high while you are gone.
    The beach was practically empty everytime we went to it and it was gorgeous!
    After hearing of horror stories about cockroaches in rooms and things like that from other people who paid about as much as we did, we were very happy we chose this hotel.

    Smaller then most on the strip, the Flamingo is excellent for the price. Staff were helpfull and the food better than two other resorts. Do not expect shows like Adventura or the many restaurants of the Oasis.
    Do expect to have a great time. The beach is narrower than some and wider than others. Pools great with swimup bar.

    Same hotel, but even better food. Two restaurants. At the buffet the 1st night they had duck in black cherry sauce, chipolte chicken, pasta, veal tips provencial varies vegetable, one soup bread, small salad area and desert. The Albatross is nicer, dress better, and the food is better than an Outback, Olive Garden or most other chains.

    The bar is at night is nice but not to rowdy ( people vomiting ) Renee is an excellent tender and like any other bar tender tip him. He will thank you and mean it.

    Superior room ocean front
    by brkilbourne, 3 more photos
    Smaller hotel but clean. All inclusive was worth the money. The food was much better than Adventura and Oasis. Drinks where not watered down ( tips help ) They have standard rooms, suites, 6th floor superior and the Victoria suite. The regular suites and Victoria suite guarantee an ocean view. Both the regular and the superior have ocean view and street view. book a suite and when you get there ask if an ocean view superior is available' If so it runs $30.00 more a night. If you book a reg room ask for an oceon front, if you don't get it, come back to the front desk and ask to be put on the list for ocean front. a $10 won't hurt either If you don't get it that day you will the next. Two restaurants, pool grill, pool bar and regular bar. Service was good, clean hotel with 2 nice pools.

    No sprimg breakers.

    • Flamingo Cancun Resort - Cancún
    by jujub
    i stayed at the Flamingo Cancun hotel. It's a nice hotel, even though the beds were a bit small for 2 people. It has 3 swimming pools: one for kids (very shallow), one beachfront (about 5ft?) and one in the middle of the hotel (4ft?). It is beachfront, it has two restaurants and a gift shop.
    i think the regular rate was $110USD per nite
    not sure if the price is the same for peak-season, but we definetely did not pay that rate with the all-inclusive package.

    We got a pretty good package deal, an all inclusive package (breakfast, lunch and dinner). They have those packages year round.

    No beach left after Hurrican
    at Flamingo Hotel
    by Americanincanada
    I stayed in the Flamingo for 2 weeks during end of December 2007 for vacation as well as for business and certainly for the last time. Because of my profession I travel extensively, however this experience at Flamingo is unseen...

    Its was HORRIBLE because:

    I am a white guy and my beloved WIFE(!) is a latin woman. When we arrived I was told its not ok to bring "HOOKERS" to the hotel!

    What an insult! I barely can't believe this incredible inappropriate and racial behavior.

    That not being enough, after coming back to the hotel after a romantic dinner in a restaurant nearby, the same insult AGAIN! I was stunned that so called "professional" hotel staff repeats the same bad mistake twice! How insolent!

    However, my wife and I are not the only victims of this questionable hospitality. A few days later I saw the same offensive behavior towards another latin couple that stayed as paying guests in the Flamingo as well. Unbelievable.

    Like the other posts said on here, it is not allowed to bring a business partner or friend into the hotel because the management is afraid the person could have a Coke without paying for it (wristband Nazis). Believe it or not, I was not allowed to take a drink with a local business partner (appropriately dressed) in the hotel's lobby bar....(!)

    Further, the food is more than mediocre. Plain, greasy food, nothing special, nothing exciting. The restaurants are simple and without any nice decor or details, waiters and most managers don't speak english on a level that would allow conversation.

    Rooms are small and the staff is rude.

    The beach is virtually gone since Hurricane Wilma and a few feet at best is all that is left (see attached photo).

    If you want to do yourself a favor, spend $200 more and find a nicer place to stay. Its your vacation, you don't want to deal with this kind of hassle and unprofessional behavior.

    This hotel needs a new management and a change of policies. Immediately.

    Best regards,

    A deeply insulted and disappointed traveler

    I would love to write something here, however there was nothing outstanding except for the outstanding trouble.

    We stayed at the Flamingo in Jan '05. (all-inclusive plan) I thought the hotel was very nice. It's not a huge resort, but still has all the amenities that you need. The hotel & rooms were clean, staff was friendly, bartenders were great, and the food fine. The lobby bar had live music for a few hrs per night, and the entertainment staff was fun. The lobby bar also had a big screen tv, pool table, couches, and tables. The pools were a little on the cold side, but they dont heat them. If you wanna swim, just go out the the beach. The water is warm, but just be aware of the waves. It gets kinda rough out there! The security is good at this resort, and they do inforce the "quiet time" after 12:30am. So for all you late night party -goers, you will have to head out to a club after 12:30...

    The price is right for this hotel. I've stayed at more expensive places in Cancun, and the Flamingo seems to be up to par with many of them, just not as big in scale. I would recommend this place for families, and budget minded travelers.

    Average rooms...very clean, fridge, bathrooms awesome..all marble..spacious. Mixture of people from 20's to 60's...classy lounge to dine at.

    Two pools. One in the center of the hotel and one outside w/ stairs going down to the beach. A long beach not not very wide. There is a lot of waves that can be dangerous. There are colored flags on the beach that are changed..red-cannot go in the water...yellow-caution and green - okay to swim....there are strong undertows.......regardless..there is a lot of green...People boogie board here because the waves are great. Walking down the beach you will find seadoo's, parasailing, etc. This place had the most amazing view of the ocean!!! Breathtaking!
