8/10 Good
"We love staying at the flamingo! Their pool and hot tub are well maintained and spacious. You can also go to the health club and spa to use the saunas. Lots of families with young children were there but this was our first summer visit. If you prefer a kid free environment visit during the week when school is in session. We are already planning our next girls trip. Close driving proximity to shopping and restaurants."
