The Flamingo is a unique boutique property located in the cultural center of Cozumel. We are just steps from the water front, dining and shopping attractions of the town square. Yet quietly hidden away....The Flamingo prides itself on a high level of personalized service and attention to our guests needs. For those looking to getaway from today's rapid pace, we provide a spacious and stylish environment in which to relax, meet new friends, and enjoy the better things in life. Our bar and grill is a favorite place to make new friends and enjoy a cold drink after a day of activity at the beach or out diving on the reefs.

The room was very spacious and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is excellent walking distance from the ferry but away from the tourist area. Walking distance to wonderful restaurants. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bar at the Flamingo is very fun. The bartender is very friendly and makes excellent drinks

The hotel itself was fine, clean, recently updated, and a great location. The staff was all very friendly and helpful especially Ivan. Unfortunately that all changed on our last night of 3. The power went out around 2:30 am, and at 7 am it was still out. There was a loud alarm beeping all night and it was unbearably hot. The water also didn’t properly work, so no way to flush the toilet. We asked to check out around 8 am, since my partner needed to work and use the WiFi. When my partner returned after using the bathroom at a local coffee shop a gentleman had recently arrived who represented the hotel. He asked if we wanted to check out and she informed him that we had no power, it is very hot without A/C and that she had to work today so really needed WiFi. He barked back that it wasn’t his fault and wondered why we were checking out. I came down to talk to him and he was as rude as could be. I told him that I feel we should at least get a partial refund for an unusable hotel room. Well then he really lost it, and said no, it wasn’t his fault and that we were inconveniencing him by checking out early. Things then escalated as I didn’t understand why he was so upset with us and kept saying that it wasn’t his fault. While I understand the power going out was not his fault but maybe being a little more hospitable and acknowledging the inconvenience, or maybe trying to rectify the situation in some way would have been better than him being so rude. Needless to say he told us we were no longer welcome at the hotel and needed to leave immediately or he was calling the police. We packed up our stuff and hightailed it out of there as fast as we could.…

Well I am not sure what to say other than this review was done for another property. I have owned the Flamingo for over 27 years and I just recently remodeled it and my goal has been to provide great service along with excellent facilities and what you describe does not follow what we have been doing for the last 25 years. I was off the island at the time, but I do understand the power was off for several hours for the entire island and it is something out of our control. All the hotels on the island had the same experience and certainly no internet under these conditions. I do wish you happy travels in the future !

This hotel is the best little secret in San Miguel. It is absolutely beautifully renovated. The location is perfect, just 3 blocks from city center, next to great restaurants (make sure you visit Jolly!), 1/2 block from the sea, walking distance to grocery stores and the central market. Car rentals are nearby if needed, but taxi’s are everywhere and cheap. The staff & service in the hotel were alot of fun and very helpful. I have stayed in resorts and hotels on beaches, but if you really want to enjoy and experience Cozumel, staying here and freestyling your vacation is the way to go. And if you want a day or so on the beach with a poolside bar, there are great day resorts down the island that will satisfy. (Check out Paradise Beach and Money Bar.) I highly recommend this hotel, moreso than anything else in Cozumel. You won’t be disappointed!…

WOW, Este lugar es genial! (WOW, This place is great). The hotel vibe is so relaxing beautiful and clean. Staff was superb and friendly, even the other guest staying were super nice. This penthouse 😍! Spacious, clean, the decor "chef kisses"! Beds better than my own, slept like a baby! Definitely used the cabana outside the bedroom doors, so comfy. My one and only thing that I feel needs attention is the mild on bathroom ceiling. Because we don't spend much time in there, it didn't bother us much but definitely a concern. YES we'd come and stay again hands down!

With the exception of the staff, we were very disappointed in our stay this time. Villa was dirty, had to buy a new coffee maker since theirs was rusted and lid broken. Nobody comes to clean bathrooms and no cleaning supplies available. No hot water twice, pool was not operational, no breakfast available and every morning at 8:00 a.m. they were banging and drilling on the roof so there was no chance of sleeping in at all. We were there in June 2021 and they were renovating. This time in October they are still renovating. While The Villa met our needs, we would not book again. The staff was great but the hotel is definitely not worth the cost and aggregation. Very disappointed.

It is a shame that the TripAdvisor counter do not go back further. I was in town and I did not have accomodations I went to the Flamingo Hotel and the friendly bartender told me that I could have a room in their hotel. Fortunately they received my card. So I could expend one night there. Beautiful hotel very nice rooms. I truly enjoy your shower. Little problems with the hot water but I just laughed off.

Our room was not as advertised, to the point that it was a nearly a scam. There was no minibar, no tv, no telephone, no bathrobe, no mosquito net, no hairdryer, no alarm clock. There was no drinking water provided in our room, not even one of those tiny plastic 12 oz. bottles. There were no hangers in the closets. The was not single picture on the walls. There was a safe, but it was locked. After it being opened by the staff, the bolts to secure it to the shelf or wall were discovered inside. There was no towel rack in the bathroom, which looked like it wasn't quite finished. There were still spacers in the stonework, some alarmingly sharp. There was an exposed electrical junction box over the sink. The shower curtain was a 99 cent model from the discount store, hung from a cheap expandable rod. The bathroom windowsill was filthy with debris. What we did have is dust. The ceiling fan needed a good cleaning, as did the closet doors. The room had clearly been cleaned, but neither deep nor often enough. There were pipes sticking out of the walls to the right of the bed, and a cloth plugged into a hole. The bar had its share of dust on the chairs, the lamps, and the bartop. There were exposed wires hanging down from the ceiling where recessed lighting should go. The rooftop deck looked nothing at all like the picture. Railings to keep guests from plummeting to their deaths would be a nice addition, but there were also no railings in the stairwells, which were dirty, with broken marble risers and lots of sharp, jagged edges. The king bed was great, there were good sheets, and the staff was nice. The hotel is in a great location. The WiFi existed, though it wasn't particulary strong in our room and went out often. There are dozens and dozens of other hotels to choose from in Cozumel, and I reccomend trying any of them other than the Flamingo. Whoever is in charge here should be deeply ashamed.…

this place is right in the middle of town and the rooms that face into the central Courtyard are pretty quiet at night. The beds are good, the front desk service is very willing and very knowledgeable. I've had breakfast there daily during picture of my stays and found it to be well made and very tasty. I've been here more than once and I would recommend it. the nightly price is very fair considering what you get for it. I will return on my next oppportunity.

My husband and I stay here every year, sometimes twice a year! The staff is great. The hotel bar and restaurant are quant, personable and accommodating. Breakfast is so delicious and made fresh every morning to order - so nice! The rooms are clean and well appointed. The refrigerator is stocked with beer, water and refreshments and not overly priced. For a fee, you can have your laundry done. The hotel is just a couple blocks from the square, so relatively quiet and super location in terms of delicious restaurants within walking distance (one almost next door and a taco stand across the street - both yummy). Just a block up from the water (you can see the Caribbean from the roof top sitting area). Negatives: I really can't think of any unless you want a swimming pool - there is not one of those. Try it, and you'll return!…
