Find the Cheap Playa Flamingo Hotels

Overall, this place gives you the stereotypical beach tourist vibes. If you're into that, it's a good bang for buck. However, if you're looking for a slightly more authentic Costa Rican experience, this is not the place. I mean even The restaurant is ”Italian.” Why you would have a fake Italian restaurant at a Costa Rican beach resort is beyond me. The Cons (which outweigh the pros): The cleanliness of the property was not as expected nor like the pictures. The exterior floors were dirty, especially around the pool (which was also not clean). The jacuzzi was cold. The roof tiles were broken, dirty, and had trash all over them (or room was on the 2nd floor & had a front row view to the roof). The restaurant was swarming with flies during lunch and dinner times (the fans could have helped but they were only decorational). There was nothing special about the room we had (302), expect for the nice vaulted ceilings. It has 2 rooms, 2 bathrooms which was nice. One room had 2 twin beds and great lighting, there other room has a long bed (poor lighting). A small note, if you like firm mattresses, this is the place for you! The beds were hard and not easy for us to sleep in with our preference of medium firm beds. The Pros: The location was great and the rooms themselves were clean, so it does have that going for it. The front desk was also nice and staff were friendly.
