When deciding on Costa Rica for a destination wedding, the next step was to choose a hotel. We found the Flamingo Resort and Spa and could not be happier with our decision! From the moment we first contacted them up until we left the resort everything was PERFECT! Juan Carlos Rojas, our wedding coordinator was AMAZING! He catered to our... More

We reserved a pool side room.... and got a parking lot view room! The staff was not willing to change it and did not accept the fact that we had BOOKED the pool side room, this was NOT a good start to the vacation! And our A/C crapped out the first night and poured water all over our couch! The... More

Our room was very clean and updated. Staff were also very helpful. We even forgot our safe combination one day and someone was at our room within 5 mins to help us out. The sunsets at Playa Flamingo were absolutely amazing. I recommend the tour of Arenal Volcano. It was a very long drive each way but well worth it!... More

The concierge was excellent, the cab drivers were great and so was our maid. The service at the bars and in the restaurant was poor. The food was just ok. The front desk did not care much after you got checked in. Seems like the mandatory 10% tip is waisted on most of the employees (even if you tipped them... More

Thank you so much for your recent stay at the Flamingo Beach Resort and Spa, and for sharing your experience on Trip Advisor. I deeply regret that you and your spouse or significant-other felt that we were "just OK". We strive to be so much more than that, to truly make our guests have such a great experience that they...

My girlfriend and I stayed here for a week and would definitely return. Overall the resort is an extremely relaxing, laid back place. They truly exemplify "pura vida". We flew into Liberia and it takes about an hour to get from the airport to the resort so plan ahead for that. Check in was easy. If possible get a room... More

Flamingo Beach Resort – Good location within walking distance of some good restaurants (Mary y Sol and Marie’s) and small store for food items etc. Quieter laid-back resort that is clean and well kept. We had a poolview room which had a partial oceanview – room was small but nicely kept. Breakfast plan was adequate. The beach just behind the... More

If you want a quite vacation with lots of rest, then this is the place for you. Staff was wonderful and friendly. Went out of there way to help. Tours were fantastic. The volcano/zip line was the best. We did the all day adventure and it was well worth it. The beach is one of the best we have been... More

The people who work here are fantastic. The people who go here...not so much, older crowed. But not just this hotel, this town in general. If youre looking for the fun part of costa rica this is not it. If youre lookig for a mellow place theb it is. The daily breakfast buffet is definitely worth it. The prices for... More
