We stayed at the Flamingo Benidorm for one week and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room, ours was on the 25th floor, was clean and spacious, the pool area was good as was the bar and restraunt. The food was good, the only minor complaint from me was that you couldn't get a cup of tea or coffee with your lunch or evening meals, still that wouldn't put me off going back there again. One of the reviews on here says the beach is 2 miles from the Hotel? It isn't it's just about 1 mile maybe not even that. the hotel is fairly handy for the local bars and clubs if you want to go out for some entertainment, we would recommend going to the town to see the Elderly Brothers, the Spanish Beatles and Showaddywaddy cheesy but fun and entertaining if you want a dance and a laugh, and also the Stardust where you can see the Bay city rollers and a group called timeless, they were excellent if you like Motown music. Or you could stay in the Hotel the entertainment there was pretty good as well. would we go again? yes defo.

We have just returned after 4 night stay. The hotel as a large tower, with good access for disabled, however, it is located on a slight hill a good 2 mile from beach area. The rooms are clean but in need of upgrade. The food is good with a wide choice, there is also a daily bbq at pool. If you want a space at pool you will need to be up by 0900 or youhave had it. The drinks are all local products, as normal with AI holidays. If you will put on weight as they feed you 6 times a day.

We stayed at the Flamingo in October 2006.  The hotel is very clean, rooms are basic but fresh.  Good sized balcony, plenty  hot water.  Meals very good - good variety and always hot. Snacks are mainly toasties but we didnt need these much as meal times were ideal.  Entertainment was quite good most of the time.  Staff were all really helpful and polite.  Poolside has lots of natural shade due to trees which is lovely.  Thinking of going back here during the summer.  I'd definitely recommend this hotel

Hotel was cold, rooms were not cleaned properly, had to constantly ask at reception for toilet rolls and towels. Pool area was very poor, in fact the pool was being drained whilst we were there. Rooms vey dated and decor left a lot to be desired. Very very dissapointed and would not recommend to anyone.

Have just returned from a holiday in the flamingo benidorm at halloween. There were 4 of us age 52,50,42,41 we had a great time, hotel lovely in a nice position food excellent and staff great. The only down side was 2nights before we left one of our rooms was flooded due to very heavy rain the staff werent too helpful at first but the next day we saw the manager and felt better after that. I have stayed in quite a few all inclusive hotels and i have to say this has been one of the best. They went all ouy for halloween and when the weather changed they were great at putting on entertainment day and night to keep guests entertained we would most definataly go back and would even take the grandchildren.

i stayed here in february 2005 and the hotel staff were very helpful and friendly, i took my 5 children and there was always something on in the hotel for them to do, the dining room was spacious and well set out and the actual rooms were a lot larger than i thought they would be, my family will definately be visiting this hotel again

The food is excellent with chef's choices, theme nights what more can I say.
You get the advantage of an apartment whilst still being all inclusive which was great for us having a baby with us.  TV as well with a couple of english channels.  Beer not brill but this is our 3rd stay and will definitely book again.  Hotel in a great location for nightlife as well and 5 mins from when the market is on.

I thought the flamingo benidorm was an excellent hotel, the food was absolutely 100 o/o, the location of the hotel was excellent,not to far away from the hustle and bustle of the square,the facilities and staff were very friendly and helpfull at all times,the rooms were immaculate and had excellent views, the only down side i found was the quality of the drink in the all inclusive package,i do understand it is local drinks but could have been a little better, overall an excellent hotel and i would`nt hesitate on booking it again.  WW

We first stayed at the Flamingo Benidorm 4 years ago when it was a SC establishment - this is why the rooms are so spacious and well equipped by hotel standards -with 2 rooms, fridge etc. The facilities then were very good but the upgrading to AI has proved to be an excellent move.
Although the weather was very hot (early September), air conditioning throughout ensured that the rooms, bars and restaurant were all cool and comfortable.
The food was of a high quality, with many options at meal times and although the hotel was busy we never once queued for a table.Special mention must be made here of the catering staff - especially Denis - who were never still, ensuring that the floors, tables and other amenities were spotless at all times. Other staff ( bars, rooms and reception etc.) were also very efficient and friendly - nothing was too much trouble.
The pool area was quite large enough to accomodate anyone wishing to use the facilities although we chose to spend a lot of time wandering around the streets and shops nearby with our baby daughter. The area surrounding the hotel was always busy but the hotel itself was rather tranquil - and generally quiet after midnight - important if you have a young family.
In summary, the hotel is probably the best we've stayed at in Benidorm. It offers comfortable and clean facilities, excellent food with a choice of menu, easy access to the beach (about 15 minutes - although the gentle slope on returning to the hotel requires a little more stamina), and most importantly for us friendly, helpful staff. We'll certainly return soon.

The hotel was simply fantastic and catered for all needs be it young or mature.  The hotel was spotlessly clean and luxurious at the same time.  The staff were simply brilliant as was the food served.  The hotel was ideally situated, a simnple 10 minute walk to the beach and in the middle of plenty of bars and resturants, yet at the same time was quiet and peaceful.
If you fancy going to Benidorm, this is a hotel not to be missed!
