BEWARE!!
This is an old abandoned resort that someone is still renting the rooms out.
Absolutely no amenities in the rooms. No bed side lamp, no shower supplies, no refrigerator, no microwave. Restaurant is closed down, pool bar is closed down.
Its impossible to contact anyone at the property, you have to wait at the reception desk for someone to see you and come over.
Very very run down, dirty and misleading. Tiny ass rooms as well.

The hotel had no staff, no daily housekeeping, no bin emptying, no security. We were advised on checkin to use our shower towels at the pool and beach, after doing this it was pot luck if ypu found any member of staff to replace them. No bar, no restaurant, no hob in the roo. Despite it being listed on the booking confirmation. We arranged to see the manager, but they never showed up.

The Flamingo Marina Hotel is a dilapidated and unsafe(moldy) hotel!!!!! I was charged more than a lady with a kitchen!!!
No toilet paper, no shampoo, no towels, broken electrical outlets, a broken metal piece sticking out of an outlet, and no in room refrigerator , no bottle or ice machine on premises.
NO ON PREMISE FOOD, RESTAURANT,and a very rude manager “AMY”!!! She told me it was my fault I had an empty room I booked it on you , “Expedia”.
And your WiFi is terrible

The hotel was basically closed. No daily housekeeping, no clean towels, no security. Our check-in docs (passport & credit card info), were left on the unmanned recrption for 24 hours, we removed them ourselves! We found a single staff member and made our complaints, he told us the manager would come to site an hour later. We waited for 30mins, nobody came, we passed said staff member 15 mins later, they just have a shrug. Appalling way to treat paying customers. Hotels.com need to remove this place.

This is a run down, overpriced place.. no amenities, no English speaking people. Would not recommend this place to anyone. It should be rated a 2 star place.

The place is not as advertised, it needs a complete renovation. Rooms were super old. We were not expecting a five star as it was just a last minute secession due to our next accommodations would not be ready until the next day. I still feel it was overpriced for what we had.

Yes We checked in on Jan 18th. The member of staff showed us to the room. On opening the door we saw a bug running across the floor. looking at the room we saw that the bed linen was soiled ... Toilet was dirty. bidet was rusty and dirty. Shower also dirty no hot water. The sink and taps had stains from previous ocupants Doors and paintwork had finger prints and smears .The Tv on the wall had exoposed live cables.The member of staff informed us the hot water maybe on the next day. The pool had many cracked tiles which would be dangerous for any swimmer. The tennis court had moldy black stains.We were shown another room that was just as bad. The whole so called resort was unsanitry and we stayed only 1 hour. Checked and gave key back. We asked the member of staff to sign that we were checking out but she refused. This property should not be on your website for future bookings. Due to health and safety reasons

There was only 1 security guard and felt unsafe
There was only 1 other guests and they checked out early too. There were giant cockroaches in the room. Totally disgusting! I'm calling Expedia to try and get my money back.

We paid extra $$ to get the suite with a full kitchen.. brought a lot of food to be able to cook our own meals, but the entire stove in the kitchen did not work, staff was never available, not enough toilet paper.. in fact we were only given two rolls for the entire four day stay. We hassled for another roll and were told they didn’t have any more. The beds were old.. they put a twin sheet on a queen bed , so the bedding was inadequate. There was no hot water for the entire stay.. contacted one man on site who worked there and he said there is no hot water! The doors did not lock and both bathroom windows did not lot. We had to use sticks in the door and window jams to secure it. We contacted Expedia for help but they are refusing to help us in any way other than a $100 credit on a room that cost us almost $1000.00. Staff was unavailable at the hotel
And there was never anyone at the front desk. I am completely disappointed in the so called “ resort” and also that Expedia would allow this to happen!!

Bad experience. The hotel is in pretty bad shape!
Unfortunately, we couldn't have a good experience due to the poor state of the hotel.
Minimal staff, closed restaurant & bar, unmaintained swimming pool, no Wi-Fi, bad quality of bath towels, small TV and terrible signal quality, water leakage at the kitchen's sink (good water pressure), but not enough water pressure to shower.
The hotel is totally outdated, and the lack of maintenance is evident.

The pool is falling apart, there is no restaurant or bar as was advertised in the photos. The hotel is pretty much abandonded, the beds were absolutely horrible and were like sleeping on a piece of plywood! The sheets and pillows had stains on them. We asked for a refund immediately after checking in, but we were denied by the owner. Overall terrible hotel, I wouldnt recommend this place to my enemy!

The property is old and out dates They appear to be renovating it but there is a quit a way to do Our room was definitely in need of a renovation it was a junior suite that was poorly laid out Room was sparsely decorated Rusty fridge Cheap MIs-matched dishes and utensils that I would never eat of off No covers over the Box spring We were only provided a small soap No shampoo and conditioner.
Hotel staff was not the friendliest We’d never stay here again nor recommend it
