You get what you pay for...
The room itself was fine, it had what we needed apart from an iron. I believe there is an ironing room but didnt use it. The paint was coming away from the base of the walls, as if there had been a flood. Loose tile on the balcony but to be fair it was more than comfortable with a great view. There were building works ongoing so the balcony door had to be closed during the day and given that the air conditioning wasnt working properly made the room very warm. There appeared to be lots going on for children during the day and elderly people at night but not a great deal for the in-betweens. The food was pretty awful in my opinion, pretty much the same thing every night, a lack lustre carvery, salad, and watery overcooked veg. The breakfast sausages tasted like they had been boiled before being put in an oven. I live in Spain and know that the sausages are usually really good. Snack bars, what snack bars? My husband also got a bloody egg... Drinks fine, we were all inclusive and had access to the VIP lounge, basically help yourself to a wide selection of drinks. The actual bars did the typical Spanish measures. A bit of weird marking of territory with the beach towels on sun loungers and on one instance on chairs in the bar area, I would have taken them off and sat there, I mean, what???? Despite all of the above this is a very reasonably priced hotel if you go for the all inclusive option, great for young families and older folk, not too far from the beach, about 10 minutes, with pools a gym and various services available. Staff were lovely and the stay was great for a short break.

Hi Joanna, We are pleased that you had an overall stay and that you were happy with the value for money. It's disappointing to read that there were aspects of your stay that you were not completely satisfied with and we have taken note of your comments. The snack bar is open during the summer season, during the winter season all snacks are served in the restaurant. The air conditioning is also available during the summer season but switched off during the winter season. Thank you for sharing your views with us. We hope to get the opportunity to welcome you back to Benidorm soon again. Kind regards, MedPlaya Hotels Benidorm

All inclusive
Good things Staff where all very friendly and helpful. The onsite masseur is good, he provided a sports massage to sort out a lower back issue which is much better. The food has a wide selection range, but mostly British type meals. Drinks were included in the package and covered a good range. Private adult areas and roof top pool allowed escape from the children noise, but at this time of the year November it was mostly quiet anyway. Facilities generally good, a wide range of activities for the children that we saw going on. Evening entertainment was good, typical pub singer and so on. Bad things The lifts, all exclusive accommodation is on the top 5 floors, the lifts did not seem to work in an organised way meaning it at times was quicker to use the stairs. One lift was out of action and a couple stuck for about 2 hours. Snacks in the upstairs lounge was not good. Cold chicken sticks or a bowl of fruit was all we seen present all week. toasties could be asked for when the top bar was open. People putting towels on seats in the top bar sun terrace? hardly pushed for a seat but why allow it to happen? Aircon was awful, the hotel interior was at best 5-10 degrees hotter than it was outside, if you opened the window to allow some fresh air then the current building noise of the new housing next door was painfully loud. The food was typical british meals, we live in spain so at first enjoyed the cooked breakfast and full roast dinners, but this soon became tiring. Paella seemed to be only served on one day as an example of non-traditional british food. We would prefer a wider range, most UK folk would enjoy a curry or chinese dish if provided. Facilities are a little dated, but there was some repair works being carried out during the time we stayed. Bottle of wine provided as a welcome in the room, but no way of opening it, I mentioned this and a staff member said we just had to ask. Two days later we found it had been opened at some point during room service. Why not just provide a screw cap bottle?

Entertainment needs improving
I have been coming to this hotel for a number of years and have never seen the entertainment in such a state. Really needs improving, pay for better acts to come into the hotel and less quizzes and games on the stage. The piano bar needs someone permanentresident singer not some one that’s comes in the a 1 hour and half then goes leaving the bar soulless. The hotel and staff remain great excellent bar and restaurant service. The place is spotlessly clean. Slight issue with the cleaning in our room however that was not up to the usual top standard. In the restaurant it gets so hot in the evenings really needs air con or large fans to circulate the air. We will be back at Xmas and I hope in can see improvement in the entertainment. Thank you

Fantastic Hotel!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay at Flamingo Oasis. Entertainment was a bit disappointing, but all hotels have similar problems. Accommodation outstanding with loads of room and comfortable beds Food good a bit repetitive, soups at lunchtime excellent we love the pottage soups, disappointed that the rice pudding is cold now. Very few chicken carverys… The dress code needs improving, with guests in the evening appearing in vest tops and sports shorts, it lets the other guests down who do dress up for evening meal. We had a problem of guests vapouring in the show bar so bad we got up and left as it was blowing back on us, I didn’t want to report it as was unsure on the conditions, but if this was allowed then we wouldn’t return. The Piano Bar was empty most nights except Wednesday when Tom was on he had the regular piano guests up an dancing it was a great atmosphere, but a shame it was only on Wednesdays. We need Tom most nights of the week he’s fantastic! or a cot share with Pepe. Other acts nit so good. I know the shop is a separate entity, but it needs vast improvement to attract customers, jewellery in the windows is not attracting guests. The shop needs to sell newspapers, magazines, novels, beach towels with the Flamingo Logo on and perhaps a small selection of swimwear but it’s very boring as it is at the moment. My biggest grumble are the club rooms, we always travel 3 mature guests and cannot experience these club rooms and facilities. If only one room could be available for 3 guests. Other hotels do accommodate 3 in their club rooms or whatever they are called. Years ago the Flamingo did have rooms for 3… Swimming pool area a bit more inspiration some carpet grass around the pool area and an outside sitting area for guests who don’t use the pool. We went to the pool bar for a snack but all they had was toasties and they were awful pre cooked and soft, unacceptable. Thank you for a wonderful holiday, to each and everyone of you for making it so enjoyable. Your refurb is brilliant but needs more pink chairs to represent the Flamingo, but it all comes down to money and budgets, we are looking forward to seeing you all soon. THANK YOU

Facilities
Lovely hotel. Staff very helpful. Food was excellent and plenty of choices. Beautiful rooms. The only complaint was the air conditioning didn’t cool the room down so sleeping was uncomfortable Would definitely return

Brilliant holiday
Absolutely loved my holiday first time there. The entertainment could be looked at as it was a abit of a let down. I would definitely be returning but looking at the prices for next year they are almost double what I paid this year. My daughter and son in law said the same. Would love to come next year as my daughter and son in law come the same time every year but might have to look at a different hotel as prices are to high

Fantastic hotel
Hotel is fabulous, staff are very welcoming from reception to restaurant and bar. Evening entertainment needs to be re looked at. Not everyone wants to sit downstairs and listen and play games. We need proper Evening entertainment singers.
