The hotel food was not to the standard one would expect from a 4 star rating. There is no buffet choice for dinner or lunch. Breakfast buffet is limited to continental and no option for a omelette,poached or fried egg? The hotel website fails to mention details of the dinner which is set course and the quality & quantity limited. The staff do thier best to provide a good service but let down but the food served. The property has a prime private location on the beach but requres you to pay 15 euros per person to use their own deck chairs which is totally unacceptable it should come without any charge. Location is remote without acesss to shops apart from a small shop across tge hotel that is part of a camping site. Recommend hiring a car. The concierge person is very helpful and gave good recommendations of places to enjoy a good meal outside the hotel , but not a taxi can cost between 20 or 80 euros depending on distance. Being our first trip to Sardinia not sure if the food standard is something to expect on the island at typical rated hotels. if so recommend book just bed & breakfast and hire a car to experience foood in nearby Pula or drive into Cagliari were more choice ..recommend the Pith steakhouse if meat lover.

I was here for 4 nights on a vacation with my wife coiming from the main land of Italy. The hotel location is great as it is about 40 min to the city of Cagiliari and about 10 - 15 minutes to one of the best beaches on the island. The big down fall is the condition of the hotel. The hotel needs a total renovation from the lobby, pool area, restaurants and to the rooms. It is very dated. If it gets a renovation and they continue with the service as is it will be a great resort.

Me and my daughter enjoyed 2 weeks stay in Flamingo resort hotel. Overall everything was fine, food was very nice the only thing I didn’t like that restaurant staff was always in a rush and food was late on the table anyways. Flamingo resort hotel is very suitable for families with children as animation team was amazing. Yana, Sara, Mara, Nicola and Fabrizio were fantastically good and kind to the guests and special thanks to Yana and Mara for entertaining children with a lots of different interesting activities. We have been in several beach holidays with my daughter, but this was the best animation guys. My daughter did not want to come back Home as she really loved the animation team. Beach was nice with gold sands, but sometimes the sea was full of seaweed when it was windy. Location was nice and quiet, bus stop to Cagliari just 600 meters away. Very few people ( staff) from restaurant and reception speaks English. Manolo was a best receptionist. He would always give you correct and accurate information and he was very helpful and kind as well. Hotel condition was very good. Rooms were very clean. I would definitely go back next year to the same hotel if mini club team will be the same.

My wife and I visited this hotel as part of our honeymoon and were thoroughly disappointed. The pool in the spa was feeezing cold, apparently a decision from the hotel management. We were on the bed and breakfast rate which wss a mistake as there is no guarantee of table in either of the two restaurants when on this rate and it almost seemed a huge chore for staff to try and get you a table. We did find an amazing restaurant just 5 minutes walk from the hotel however none of the hotel staff even told us it existed. As we were there for our honeymoon we enquired with the hotel proor to our arrival whether they had any honeymoon packages etc but the staff didnt seem to care. We enquired again on arrival but still got no info from the staff The gym is quite basic and very outdated as well as the fact you have to pay €5 per day The hotel is right on the beach which is great, other than having to pay €30 per day to hire sun loungers... Mini golf is totally unusable as its covered in water, dirt and leaves Daily hassling by hotel staff to play table football or ping pong is far frok relaxing We stayed in a suite on a building seperate from the main hotel which was advertised as having a jacuzzi bath, however its just a bath with a couple of jacuzzi jets on an open balcony with no privacy The staff are completely uninterested in helping with anything, they have a very "i dont care" attitude All in all a very poor experience!

Terrible service, extremly unfriendly staff completly unwilling to help. Old / dated facilities. Air conditioning did not worked throughout our stay... we had to be moved 3 times one night since heat was unbearable. Ended up getting a properly climatized room until 1 am in the morning. The next day to ask for a late check out, receotion said yes but at the end they ended up suprisi g us with a 50€ charge to pay for the "lateness". OMG almost ruined our stay in Chia... thankfully the beaches are unreal. DO NOT STAY IN THIS TERRIBlLE PLACE... honestly we couldn't wait to get out of there ourselves 😡.

Nice hotel but poor entertainment
The hotel itself was lovely .. the waiting staff very attentive, by day a real treat. The issues here arose in the evening. 2 specific examples, 1. A rat - yes an ACTUAL rat joined us for dinner. The rat was bad but the attitude of the management when we told them at check out was worse. Couldn't be less interested and whilst I imagine they cannot control every rat that appears they could at least give the impression of being concerned at the hygiene issues it poses in their restaurant. 2. The Entertainment - frankly I would have preferred the rat back than the children's dancing that started at 10pm - top billing both Friday and Saturday night. They can do better than that in a 4* hotel - in fact we went next door to the camp site out of sheer desperation to escape thetweenies and they had a great show on annoyingly. To be clear - I am not being anti kid at all just anti after 10pm kids show as were the other adults watching the 3 kids taking part. Again most dissapointing was the management response when raised the next day as a critique for them .. I think maybe the rat would have been more interested - he certainly hung round longer than the management were willing to to discuss the perils of this enter-lame-ment!

Wonderful hotel - exceeds expectations
I was looking for an hotel with a nice pool a nice private beach and a spa, this fulfilled all my expectations! The rooms are big, spacious and clean, and so are bathrooms. Food is varied, good for dinner at I coralli restaurant ( Sardinian option and general Italian option ). He massage at the spa was so worth it! Oh and I loved the aqua gym program. But seriously nothing beats the beach. Internet reception is spotty, be warned! We had our own connection so we had no problems.

We had a great time at hotel flamingo. The staff were super helpful especially the kids club staff who really tried to include our daughter (who was a little reluctant as only non Italian). The beach abc restaurant (Wild Duck) were particularly impressive.

Good hotel on the beach but !
I thought the hotel was good. We were in a suite with a jet tub. Room was great and towels and linen changed on a daily basis. We ate in the Wild Duck for 8 nights but for the final 3 nights, due to end of season, ate in main restaurant. This was not as good but we were compensated by a price reduction. Real negative comment not much to do round about. No other restaurants or bars, so had to take the bus into Pula.

Good Location, So-So Hotel
This hotel is located in an unspoiled area in South Sardinia - directly on the beach (sand beach but all stones under the water) with good bus connections to the sights of the south coast. For Canadians it is over-priced: the best that can be said for the food is that it is mediocre, and the hotel amenities do not justify the high prices.

Very close to beach and very quiet and peaceful
We very much enjoyed the facility however very disappointed in he food both for breakfast and dinner. There are lots of great fresh produce in the area but this did not seem to make it to the Hotel. It is about 5kms from Pula and there were some really nice restaurants there. We did not find good public transport so we hired a car which was easy and brought to the Hotel and allowed us to explore the area which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was great relaxing by the pool or having a dip in the sea. Hotel Flamingo has all the ingredients but needs to sharpen its act on the food side of things.

Das Hotelkomplex ist direkt am Meer gelegen und besteht aus mehreren Einheiten. Der Hauptteil des Hotels verfügt über ein großes Schwimmbecken, eine Rezeption und mehrere Restaurants. Ein Bereich des Hotels besteht aus kleineren Häusern, von denen einige zwei Zimmer-Suiten bieten. Ein weiterer Bereich des Hotels verfügt über ein Restaurant und ein Bereich mit kleineren Häusern und einem Restaurant. Der Strand vor der Hotelanlage ist sehr weitläufig. Direkt vor der Anlage befindet sich der Hoteleigene Strand mit so genannten Sesseln, die praktisch Liegen unter einer schattigen Pergola sind, sowie so genannten Sonnenliegen mit eingebautem Sonnenkopfschutz unter Sonnenschirmen. Letztere kosten 15 Euro pro Tag bzw. 80 Euro pro Woche in der ersten Reihe und 60 Euro in der zweiten Reihe. Das Frühstücksbuffet bietet eine immer gleiche Auswahl, aber mit Obst, Tomaten und Müsli neben Rühreiern, Speck, Käse usw. ist es ausreichend abwechslungsreich. Das Mittagessen bietet neben Pizza auch typische Pastagerichte mit Meeresfrüchten. Das Abendessen beginnt für uns zu spät, aber die anderen Gäste haben sich nicht beschwert. Ein Mietwagen macht Sinn, da es in der unmittelbaren Umgebung nicht viel gibt.

Penso che non vale quello che si paga. Ho scelto questa struttura per la possibilità di utilizzare il centro benessere, che dalle foto sembra bellissimo, ma una volta dentro, una delusione totale, posto cupo e decadente, inoltre la vasca idromassaggio rotta da cinque giorni, quindi inutilizzabile. Ristorante Le Lanterne pochissima scelta e prezzi ben oltre la media. Ristorante Wild Duck in mezza pensione buono, ma porzioni un po' misere. Di positivo c'è sicuramente la piscina e l'enorme spazio solarium che può accogliere tante persone, inoltre bellissima la struttura immersa nel verde. Personale spesso non troppo cortese, salvo quello del ricevimento e qualcuno al bar.
