1) in this hotel is it a wristband or a card? CARD

2) if a card, what do you do whilst in the pool with it? is it waterproof? WATERPROOF but why not leave it on the sunbed under the towel?

3) is the food available all through the day and what sort of stuff do they have? maybe 1 hour through the day without food and food is excellent

4) are all of the drinks cheapo brands or is there some good stuff you can get on the AI? all the spirits are cheapo but there is Strongbow cider on tap as well as lager

!/ No wrist bands , only cards!
2/ Yes, U.K brands, Strongbow Cider
3/No B&B at this hotel, only A/I
4/ Ressorthoppa is not the cheapest option for 4 people, shop around.

Oh by the way, the food's good too.

Does anyone know if this hotel has parking facilities - wanting to book for 4 nights in April and will be arriving by car. Have emailed the hotel on three seperate occasions asking if they have parking and what the charge is and they still haven't got back to me
If anyone can answer this it would be greatly appreciated

Totally agree with Sue on that one :lol:

Kay,
Yes there are parking facilities to the front of the hotel, based on first come first served. We stayed in June last year and there was only ever 2 or 3 cars parked all fortnight.

No Tuppence, not when I was there anyway.

Ok I have a question please

Do they have contacts for mobility scooters in reception, or if not and one arranges their own - do they have a secure area where you can leave it ?

TIA

Kath, someone may be able to help you better than me because I've never took notice in the Flamingo Oasis regarding mobility scooters.

However, going on the hotels that I have stayed in, the scooters are usually "parked up" near a plug point to charge the battery up overnight, ready for the next day.
All the hotels I have stayed in, the scooter users find a plug in the reception area...the Flamingo Oasis may indeed have a designated area.

Once the key is removed, have you ever tried lifting one of these things.? :yikes
well, I have. :roll:... some kind inconsiderate soul parked his scooter in such a way, that I couldn't pull the chair out to use one of the hotel computers...and nobody in their right mind would try and pinch one of them, especially if they are parked up in view of the reception, with the reception being manned 24/7.

Do you have any contact numbers for hiring a scooter.?

I have thanks Sanji, but just wondered if the hotel had someone they recommend.

Once my husband has agreed (and he's nearly there ;)) I will mail them and ask.

Thanks

Just in case anyone is after a contact, then this company works with Thomson and if you click on "about us" you will see that they state this.
The prices for the different products and service can also be found.

Another one is.....amigo 24...click on English.

You're welcome Kath.

Whilst I have no personal experience of these companies...I've certainly noticed the "Amigos" plastered on the side of the scooters.

Just get a skateboard attached to the back of the hubbys scooter for you to stand on.... and you'll be bombing down that promenade. :rofl

I'm not joking...I've seen it done in Benidorm. :lol:

I had visions of me jogging along side him lol.

Seriously, I hope he decides to have one, would make things a lot easier.

Hi Kath,
I think it's 16, but I'll be shot down if I'm wrong. :wink:
Just had a look at my holiday photos, there are 13 looking over the pool and two or three rooms on the side overlooking Puig.( the mountain with the chip in it, think that's how it's spelt)
