This was our second time at the Flamingo. It is an older hotel, but still pretty good. The swimming pool is great and the view is beautiful. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was good for the most part. Now for a few things that we did not like....DO NOT fall for the Welcome Package---Time Share Offer!!! They will tell you it is not a time share, I'm telling you it is a time share and it is not worth the time!!! They are very pushy...They could not understand why we did not want to to become wholesalers at a $39,000.00 Price. OMG, avoid this at all costs!!! We paid for the deluxe room upgrade that comes with the private balcony and private internet lounge for the entire floor. We were told that we paid for the Jr. Suite, but our paper work showed we paid for the deluxe room. Then we were told that the deluxe room floor had flooded, so they had to put us in a Jr. Suite. The room was very nice, little musky. Very roomy and pretty. We could not complain about the room, but we would have liked our own balcony. Our balcony was still nice, but we had to share it with others. This is a locals hotel...lots of locals!! Overall, this is a good hotel for those that want to go to Cancun at a reduced price. It was still very nice and comfortable. Great bed, stocked fridge. Always go All inclusive!!!

My first time to Cancun and since I was on a budget this hotel surprised me in many ways and kind of reminded me that of a 4 star hotel with just a few things missing. Great location,clean rooms, well kept hotel,helpful friendly staff,perfect for kids since they have a big enough pool in the middle of the hotel to play volleyball and basketball,fun atmosphere. I didn't do the all inclusive and next time I will. It makes sense! I had a standard room facing the water with a deck. The room could be refurbished. The bathrooms looked as if they were just updated and tastefully done. I was disappointed with the comfort of the beds which need to be addressed since they were hard as a rock and it would have been nice if their was a refrigerator. But a good stay overall and a nice place especially if you can't afford a 5 star hotel.

Honestly, I don't even know where to begin with the Flamingo "Resort". Absolutely everything about this place, with the exception of the beds and swimming pool, was terrible. The worst part was definitely the quality of service. The people at the front desk barely spoke English (so luckily I speak Spanish) and when they did attempt to answer your questions, they were rude and treated us like we were idiots. The last thing you want after you've saved up to finally take a vacation is to be treated like this. We were forced to wear wristbands that said "Flamingo Cancun Resort and Plaza" but when we went to the "Plaza" across the street we were not permitted to bring one six pack of beer back into the hotel. We were escorted to the front desk like criminals and reprimanded for even thinking of bringing beverages into the hotel. We were obligated to buy everything at the resort- which doesn't make sense because why would they associate themselves with the Plaza across the street? They do have a store at the Flamingo Resort but the woman there set her own exchange rate (12 pesos to $1 when the real exchange rate was 14 pesos) to rip you off. We had to walk around with a calculator to make sure we weren't taken advantage of. The one time we ate at the restaurant (we didn't go back after this) they made our daiquiris with tequila instead of rum. When we complained, the bartender came out and started yelling at us and pouring rum into our drinks asking if it was good enough yet. I hope I never have to interact with such rude employees who are supposedly in the hospitality business. Do not put yourself through this during your visit to Mexico.

the hotel needs heavy insulation for the rooms. the stay was good but the noise from the street traffi and the lound music from the bar/disco across the street from the hotel really made you stay up or you will need more than just earsplugs. Yet, location is good for the area. ice bags were available most of the day since we have no ref in the rooms. Also, by accident, probably, got the ""free parking"" for my rental car with just need to show the braclet, which was awesome. Stil, I would not stay at FlamingoCancun Resort again if i would have visit Cancun again.
