Find Hotels in Playa Flamingo, Costa Rica

When you drive up and see the grungy looking signs by the road and in the parking lot, you may think that you are in the wrong place or have made a mistake booking this place. BUT DO NOT WORRY. Just enter the property to the left of the parking lot. It is beautiful. The adult pool (with a tree mosaic) and the children's pool (with a dolphin mosaic) are beautifully maintained. Likewise, the gardens, with palm trees, papaya trees and mango trees and well maintained. The rooms are in little stuccoed cabins with tiled roofs-- 2 rooms per cabin. Room # 6 was especially nice. They are a good size with huge closets. The beds are comfortable. There is only a sheet--no blanket. But this is not really a problem. All you need to do is turn down the AC if you are too cool. There are many lovely birds flying in the gardens and there are 3 large parrots in a large pen. If they are encouraged, they will say "Hola" Breakfast is in an open air breakfast room with a thatched roof. It is delicious--beans and rice, scrambled eggs and toast. There is a little beach 5 to 10 minutes away. It is best when the tide is out. If you have a car, there are other nicer beaches 5 to 10 minutes drive away--PLaya Flamingo, Playa Brasilito and Playa El Conchal

The resort was very nice and the room was adequate. It was a bit of an older style that’s probably a few years away from remodeling. The only downside is that it’s about 12 mins away from the nice beach. It’s own private beach is not that great. But for less than half the rate of the closer resort, it was a reasonable bargain that worked for us and we had a great time. The other downside was there was no WiFi signal in the room but the lobby signal was strong enough for voice chats. That was fine by me, but the teenager kept grumbling about that.
