We
loved
our
stay
at
Flamingo
Hotel.
The
staff
were
fantastic,
they
couldn't
be
more
helpful
and
were
always
very
polite
and
friendly.
We
stayed
for
2
weeks
and
thought
the
food
was
excellent.
With
3
different
places
to
eat
every
day,
and
several
options
in
each
location
we
never
got
bored
of
the
food
choices.
Every
day
of
the
week
is
a
different
food
theme-
our
favourite
was
Maya
night
with
delicious
local
dishes.
A
special
thanks
to
Freddy
at
reception
and
Andreas
in
the
buffet
hall
who
always
went
above
and
beyond
to
make
our
stay
feel
special.
The
quality
of
the
rooms
does
vary-
upon
arrival
we
were
offered
an
upgrade
to
ocean
view
instead
of
lagoon
view.
After
seeing
the
lagoon
view
room
which
was
basic
with
no
balcony,
we
paid
around
£50
(UK
sterling)
for
the
upgrade
and
it
was
well
worth
it
as
we
were
able
to
watch
the
sunrise
on
several
mornings
from
our
Seaview
balcony-
truly
stunning.
With
3
days
of
our
trip
left
we
were
offered
a
free
move
to
a
swim
up
room
due
to
maintenance
taking
place
on
our
floor.
The
swim
up
room
was
total
bliss,
very
comfortable
and
such
luxury
to
have
pool
access
from
the
room.
The
reason
we
gave
5
stars
is
because
for
the
price
we
paid
for
our
all
inclusive
stay,
we
were
really
impressed
with
the
quality
of
service
and
food
along
with
the
beautiful
setting.
The
pools
are
well
maintained,
the
sunbeds
were
comfy
and
there
was
nearly
always
one
available.
The
beach
is
well
maintained
and
the
public
corridors
of
the
hotel
were
continually
cleaned
and
well
kept.
The
choice
of
drinks
at
the
bars
is
excellent
(we
had
several
different
cocktails,
beer
and
wine
which
was
all
included)
and
the
swim
up
bar
was
definitely
a
highlight.
We
also
made
use
of
the
pizza
bar
more
times
than
was
healthy!
This
hotel
is
by
no
means
the
nicest
in
Cancun
however
for
the
price
it
is
outstanding
value
for
money.
Yes-
some
of
the
rooms
need
the
odd
maintenance
job
completing
such
as
bathroom
door
locks
not
working
or
batteries
dead
in
the
safe-
however
Hotel
Flamingo
doesn't
claim
to
be
a
5
star
hotel.
If
you
want
the
premium
experience
you
will
need
to
pay
twice
the
price.
We
also
loved
the
size
of
the
hotel,
it
wasn't
too
big
to
walk
around
(like
many
of
the
Vegas
style
hotels
in
Cancun)
and
many
of
the
staff
remembered
our
names
during
our
stay.
The
only
other
improvement
to
suggest:
it
would
have
been
helpful
to
get
an
information
booklet
when
we
arrived
or
just
some
hotel
info
in
the
room.
We
were
given
some
details
by
reception
at
check
in
but
after
a
10
hour
flight
and
being
awake
for
24
hours,
we
didn't
take
any
of
it
in.
There
was
entertainment
in
the
hotel
on
a
few
nights
but
we
didn't
know
it
was
happening,
we
just
stumbled
on
it.
There
were
also
a
few
things
not
part
of
the
all
inclusive
which
we
found
out
as
we
went
along
(the
premium
tequila
behind
the
bar
wasn't
included
which
seemed
fair
enough).
We
did
a
few
day
trips
/
tours
using
the
tour
operator
in
the
hotel.
We
also
found
other
trips
at
a
much
cheaper
rate
online
(Viator)
than
being
offered
in
the
hotel
so
I'd
recommend
shopping
around
before
just
going
with
the
hotel
tour
company.
Overall:
ignore
the
bad
reviews,
for
a
reasonably
priced
all
inclusive,
this
hotel
cannot
be
beaten
in
Cancun.
A
fantastic
experience
and
highly
recommended.
