Flamingo beach hotels9/10/2023 All inclusive- Wide range of cocktails which are made except from the pina colada which comes out of the bottle… I am not entirely convinced that there is rum in that as the bottle looks like pineapple juice to me although it is tasty. Rooms- We are on the 20th floor (2003) and so obviously it is very high- not for the faint hearted. ![]() Food has been good- a wide range and hot. I last stayed here with my partner when it was called Marconfort Essence in July 2017. I am currently staying at the Flamingo Beach resort with my friend 29th May- 3rd June. The one we did was specific to football players so obv some were at a bit of an advantage - Nice atmosphere however in the hotel and everyone was friendly. I did also think the quiz advertised in the day was a bit poor - I did think it would be more than one round. Food and drink - Plenty of food everyday at the buffet and lots of variety - Lots of cocktails to choose from, however not sure if some are watered down a bit more than others Service/entertainment - Servers/waiters were always happy to assist where they could and always smiley - especially 'patcha' (think that is right) who recognised who we were and would makie the effort to have a chat - Entertainment I felt catered slightly towards the older generation with a lot of the singers singing songs from the 60's/70's. We had this on for only a couple of hours per night but I have been so poorly as a result and have ended up with a chest infection. Room - Room was spacious with a nice view of the sky line and beach. Stayed here with my friend on a girls hol from 28th May - 3rd June. I am not taking a chance on going back and when we were leaving in the morning we met several couples in the older age bracket who said that they would also not be going back because they have been there before, and they could not cope with the change in it. Apart from the people in it, it remains clean, the staff are friendly, (apart from one on reception), the pool areas are lovely and well kept and the food is good. I loved this hotel, and I thought I had found somewhere in Benidorm that I could go back to repeatedly. It is a real shame that this has been allowed to happen. It is just as well the wind was not blowing. What we do have evidence of is my sister and I sitting on my balcony in the morning having a cup of coffee and the male person in the room above, ( they were a couple who had kept me awake all night by coming in at 4 am and being really noisy and then talking on the balcony for the next four hours) emptying his nostrils over their balcony onto the pool area below. During the course of the holiday we saw people throwing small plastic packets over the balcony, one of which landed on my sisters balcony and looked like the sort of thing you might put white powder in although obviously we have no evidence of that. We explained that there was a strong smell of cannabis emanating from possibly/probably this room. We did complain to the jet2 rep, Jay, the next day, and he was very good and said if it happened again, he would ask them to leave the hotel. We did complain to reception at about midnight and the security guard knocked on the door, but it did not have much effect. The room above my sister had a full-scale party with music, laughing, screeching and bottles been kicked over. ![]() They then went in their rooms and carried on talking and playing music and engaging in furniture removals. People were coming in late and shrieking down the corridors. Instead of, shall we say, older couples enjoying their vacation the hotel now appears to be significantly booked with groups of both females and males, shall we say, younger than we are. I so enjoyed the week that I took my sister back at the beginning of June to show her what a tranquil hotel it is, sorry was. I stayed at this resort with my friend in September 2021, and it was delightful. Hotels near KidZone Parque Infantil Benidorm.Hotels near Costabus Shuttle and Private Transfers. ![]()
