This was an incredible vacation. The hotel was beautiful but the best and most surprising aspects was the friendliness of everyone we met. We did not opt for the all inclusive package as we enjoy getting out to area restaurants and meeting the local people. The rooms are a bit dated but still very comfortable and nice. The pool area...

Food was mediocre. Resort was small but sufficient if you're out and about. Staff not too friendly. Tam tours was horrible to book through- rude and inflexible.

On vacation, whether you are an adventurer or a lounger, Flamingo Beach Resort & Spa is the perfect choice. The ambiance is casual and relaxed elegance. The rooms are large, the sheets are soft and the staff is always happy to accommodate your needs. The property offers a large, luscious pool, and a smaller children's pool, both only steps from...

My husband and I just returned from a week at the Flamingo Beach Resort and were happy with every aspect of our stay. A driver from the Rizo services picked us up at the airport (and delivered us back a week later). We were able to check into our room immediately and, even though we didn't have a room with... More

My wife and I stayed here May 12-16. We both loved it. The hotel was kept very clean and the breakfast in the morning was outstanding. Right behind the hotel property is a small dirt road and then the beautiful beach. I met a local out there named Minor Gonzalez and he showed me how to handline right on the... More

We ate at the restaurant 3 times. Once for breakfast and once for dinner and once for dessert. Breakfast was a buffett (can... More

It is about an hour drive from liberia and you really have to watch the signs. Do not count on your gps to get you there as they don't always work in costa rica. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Staff is friendly and attentive. Pool is large and beautiful. Food is delicious and plentiful. Spa was heavenly. Casino is small... More

Our family of five had a wonderful stay here May 10-15. Rizo Services, driver Porfirio, picked us up at Liberia Airport. He was very informative and kind. We felt like we had our own tour guide to CR. At check in, we were welcomed with a yummy cool drink, a nice personal touch. Douglas was very efficient and Jose took... More

we were here for a week, last week. the front-desk people are awfull kind and happy to check you in. the second you have a complaint or issue, they are NOT easy to deal with (Angelo and Carlos, for example). they have an all-inclusive option which is worth it, especially if you'll be drinking alot. BUT if you're going for... More

During an 11-day trip across Costa Rica with two friends, our last three days were spent at the Flamingo Beach Resort. It was a perfect ending to a perfect trip! The FBR is a small resort about 20 minutes north of Tamarindo but it's perfect if you aren't looking to stay in an ultra-touristy section and don't require much. The... More
