“Much better than expected”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2011

Stayed here for one week at the end of July and based on some of these reviews we expected something really horrible, but were def positively surprised!

Staff was mostly very nice although they didn't all speak that much english (once a waitress didn't even understand "red wine"..). The food was pretty good and there were enough choices for everyone. There were also plenty of choices at the bar. The location was nice just across the beach, but probably not the best place to stay with kids as it sometimes got quite noisy in the evenings..

The air condition in our room did work, but it definitely wasn't powerful enough to cool down the room and in few nights we had little difficulties sleeping 'cause it was too hot.

The biggest downside was maybe the area itself, 'cause it was just filled with germans and in every restaurant/bar/shop/whatever everybody thought you were german as well and were trying to speak german to you and got really confused when you started with english.. I think that in the whole week we saw like 2 people who weren't from germany.. :-) But didn't let that bother too much. (and no, I have nothing against germans)

But over all we had a really nice holiday!

“Rather stick needles in my eyes !!!!!”

Never done a review on here before, but read T A before booking anywhere as its usually a good guide as to what to expect,, must say that we ended up in this hotel as Travel Republic thought it was a suitable replacement hotel to the one we booked in a different area of Majorca was "full" when we got there(thats another story !!!)....To be fair the hotel may be ok, food maybe excellent, doubt it very much though !!!.... Never got the chance to varify these points.... Absolutely shocking experience. You would love this hotel and its surroundings, which the hotel staff and management seemed to be very happy to tolerate and encourage, if you enjoy the constant LOUD intolerable sound of hundreds of drunken "yobs" German they may have been but the nationality is irrelevant, may i add, and this was at 9.30 in the morning and continued all throughout the day and night... More likened to a football match taking place in a huge open aired "beer keller" and lasted 9 hours rather than 90 minutes..... As the evening went on the "lapdancing" club directley on the doorstep had its workers sat on the hotel steps (which was wet from the guests and passers by urinating on the steps rather than walk 20 yards to the toilet) were openly plying for trade, and a lapdance was not the offers being made... In fact i need to stop writing this as i could be here forever and this is not conducive with my stress levels. Needless to say we didnt stay and would wholeheartedly suggest that NOBODY EVER EXPERIENCES THIS HOTEL !!!!!!

“The worst hotel you could ever possibly imagine”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2011

person found this review helpful

This is the first time that I have ever felt compelled to write a hotel review, having travelled extensively all over the world over the past thirty years. In fact, we were so appalled we did not even stay at the hotel and made alternative arrangements. I would have rather slept on the beach rather than this hotel. Upon arrival, you will note that the entrance is directly opposite a brothel. The noise and commotion in this area has to be seen to be believed!! The German clientelle are cheered on by the staff as they constantly perform the noisiest of German tribal songs in various states of undress, in the main, totally naked at 3.00pm in the afternoon.

As we walked in to reception, two guests were actually unrinating in the potted plants outside reception, all of 20 yards from the toilets. Not the hotels fault??? They actually stood and watched, said nothing, did nothing - they left it to me to make my feelings known to these yobs then ran inside.

The girls that work in the brothel were plying for trade outside the hotel reception - again, positively encouraged by the staff - they made no attempt whatsover to consider the welfare of their guests.

All in all, the worst experience ever.

Room Tip: The best room would be in any other hotel.

“FIRST CLASS”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2011

We recently stayed in the flamingo resort and have nothing negative to say about it at all. The food and drink on offer was excellent and as an all inclusive customer this is obviously a bonus. The standard of cleanliness was superb and all staff that i dealt with were always pleasant and helpful. The resort is generally for families with children although there is an adults only bar open from 6 till midnight. Myself, my wife and my 3 year old son all had a wonderful time and will hopefully be returning back to the flamingo in the not to distant future. Well done to Angel and his team.

“Awfull hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2010
1
person found this review helpful

This is the worst 4 start hotel EVER

1) Air conditioning doesn't work, and this ment we had to change our room.
2) Food was decent, staff is awfull, they come and bug and press you to leave as soon as possible ( "Do you need anything else?" "Is there anything you would like?" in a repetitive manner that surpasses the limits of decency)
3) No matrimonial beds-the room setup had 2 beds joined together on a slippery tile surface that made them move and slip around the room easily even during sleep
4) Rude staff-they speak 0 english and unless you force yourself and raise an argument they will simply delay your request forever
5) NO FRIDGE IN THE ROOM- What kind of 4 star hotel doesn't offer a fridge?? You actually had to pay for a minibar that was locked.

Please stay away from this place, if it wasn't for the beauty of the island, this vacation would have been a total disaster. Save your money or go somewhere else.
