This was out 1st visit to Flamingo Beach Resort, and we were pleased. The staff is awesome...everyone we encountered was friendly, accommodating, & helpful. The resort is small which we really enjoyed. It's definitley not the Ritz but very comfortable. Great pool area with a bar. Only complaint-they run out of beach towels at the pool most days. Pack your own if possible. The breakfast plan is the way to go. Great breakfast each morning. Would NOT recommend the entire meal plan. There are EXCELLENT restaurants in the area-many will come pick you up at the resort or the resort van will take you for a fee. Carlos Y Carlos was one of the best meals we have eaten anywhere-it is a MUST for dinner. Il Forno has delicious eggplant lasagna, Mar Y Sol wonderful lobster. Would definitley recommend Flamingo Beach Resort. Pack casual clothes only-it's all you will need! Booked 2 excursions thru the resort: Congo Canopy Tour which was great & fishing with Sun King which was a bust.
