Flamingo Marina Resort

We booked this stay through, Special Places of Costa Rica. This is any but “special”. If I could give unit 103 a negative number rating I would. We were not able to check in at 3, the unit wasn’t ready until after 4pm. This unit is in a dated old decrepit building in need of maintenance. The switch back of stairs are cracking and I’m need of repair, my wife almost slid down the near vertical ramp that takes place of an elevator. The beds are out of a homeless shelter. The ceiling was falling down and the lathe has delaminated. Smells like mildew. The bathroom is a small box I barely fit in at 6’1” 230lbs. We literally walked in and walked out. The owner has a “strict” policy for cancelations we found out why. We were not give even a partial refund although we were in the room for less than 5 minutes. Look elsewhere and be wary of this company.

Great location. Good to sleep. Nice ocean views. There is no staff. No restaurant. Everything is very basic and outdated but functional if what you need is to sleep well. Restaurants, marina and beach close by. Good parking place.

Great place for family or friends trip. Condo was right on the beach so it felt like you had your own beach. We had a 3 bedroom with full kitchen with all the amenities. Our rep was so nice and helpful with local places to visit

Would definitely not recommend! Had a reservation for 4 nights and checked out after 1st night. The only reason we stayed the first night was because it was so late. The pool was absolutely hideous. The pictures showed a pool bar and a hot tub, it's beyond words to describe how in such disrepair everything was. Small lock on the door could be opened with a credit card due to the number of times it had been jimmied.

we checked in and the security guy spoke very little English...got the room key, and found no coffee maker or hangers..went back to him, and after some dialogue and using a translator app, he reappeared from his unit and gave us his personal hangers and coffee maker...after the first night, the bed and the couch were VERY uncomfortable, you could feel the springs....the onsite restaurant has been closed for sometime, as well as the swim up pool bar...the pool furniture is made out of wood, and you can see the splinters....had to purchase dish soap with our groceries as there wasn't any in the unit, and the utensils were dirty! Tried to ask for a wash cloth, and hand towels, but they said all they had were bath towels...we were supposed to be there for 6 nights, but left after 2 nights...both nights, there were only 3 cars in the parking lot...do yourself a favor, and don't stay there.............

OMG this place is horrible. No reservation system, no bar, no restaurant- there is nothing but a run down resort. Pics on the websites are VERY old - New mgmt has ruined the place and does not care!
