Review by Murray R Harlow, United Kingdom
Holiday was okay but with misgivings.
We liked the accomodation which was well laid out with nice one bedroom apartments. The food was fine but it's not the nicest restaurant we've ever been in. A nice touch was an evening meal in a off- site restaurant with waiter service as part of the deal. The entertainment was aimed at a family audience and the atmosphere in the main bar was manic. We steered clear of it and found some bars in the area more to our taste. This kind of takes the edge off an all inclusive holiday. It seemed to us that the hotel was crying out for an adults only area/bar with appropriate entertainment. All in all it was a good holiday but we would have to see improvements before we would return. As a postscript Tui made no effort to seat any of the four of us together on the flights there and back. We have been holidaying two or three times a year with Jet2 for well over a decade and we have always been seated together. Tui are obviously more interested in profit by expecting passengers to pay upfront for booked seats rather than offering seats to couples as a matter of course. For this reason alone we will always consider Jet2 ahead of Tui when considering a holiday.
Another Wonderful Two Weeks at Flamingo Beach
We’ve just returned from another lovely 2-week stay at Playa Flamingo Beach as a couple.
We stayed in a beachfront apartment which had recently been painted and freshened up — perfect for a sunrise swim.
Gabrielle, our cleaner, was lovely and remembered us from our previous stays. Rooms are cleaned 5 times a week with fresh towels.
One of the best things about this hotel is the food! There’s always something different, with themed nights including Mexican, Dessert, Canarian, Italian and Seafood. During our stay there were numerous fish, meat, vegetarian and vegan dishes, as well as local cuisine. You’d have to be particularly fussy not to find something to enjoy! The chefs are always out front and happy to answer any questions about the dishes.
The restaurant has a new supervisor, Christian, who greets you at the door with a lovely smile and plays a great 80s playlist while you eat! Thank you to Houssine in the bar, he works so hard and is a credit to the hotel.
One of our favourite meals was at the Taverna. The staff — Raul, Khatre, Silvia, Omar and Khattar — are incredibly happy and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. We both had the steak, cooked to perfection, and the garlic prawns were superb.
We went to the morning fitness class every day with either Muriel or Helena, who were both amazing and such lovely ladies. Muriel is moving on soon for her winter job with TUI and will be sadly missed — she is a real asset to the team.
A big thank you again to Marina and the fantastic reception team for answering our emails/queries and allocating our requested room.
The only negative we experienced on this trip was smoking and vaping. There are ‘no smoking / vaping’ signs around the pools, pool bars and evening bar (and no ashtrays), but some guests still smoke or vape in their seats, which as non-smokers we found very annoying.
Overall, we had another fantastic holiday. Great value for money, wonderful food and such friendly staff — we will be back!
Well done to all at Team Grupotel Flamingo Beach!
Hasta pronto,
Warm regards, Matt & Asha

Great location
We stayed here for 4 nights and had a great time. The location is really good. We found our room to be clean and well equipped. We didn't eat in the hotel so can't comment on the food. We thought it was good value for money and would happily stay here again
Average
Great location for beach lovers, although no sun beds on beach. Bus service into town reliable and cheap. If you have mobility issues, the hotel has ramps everywhere which is great, but be warned it is a downhill/uphill walk to the beach and request a room near the restaurant. It's quite a trek from one end of the hotel grounds to the other. The room was a great size for 3 adults, good facilities although a little tired in terms of decor and paintwork. All inclusive had plenty of choice, typically though keeping food hot is always an issue when catering on mass. Cocktails were just syrupy and sweet, all pre-made. For the pool areas, I don't believe the quiet pool was maintained, lots of loose missing/tiles and noted sunbed areas were not being cleaned regularly, full bins and debris on the floor daily. The larger pool however was much cleaner. I feel that maybe a lack of staff issue, in other hotels there has always been staff regularly emptying bins, clearing glasses, picking up rubbish etc... In general the outside areas were a bit grubby, and in need of fresh paint . The Aircon was not great in the main restaurant, and often dripping onto guests. Finally, I understand cockroaches can be an issue in hot countries and never surprised to see one when out and about, but I saw no less than 4 in the main restaurant during our stay. Overall, I would say adequate, lots of entertainment for the kids but nothing spectacular if you are looking for a special treat.
