The Apartment we stayed in had an excellent view over the sea to Fuerteventura from the balcony, though some (if you are unlucky) have no view at all.
It was spotlessly clean, with a cavernous Fridge Freezer, Microwave, Toaster, Coffee-maker, Kettle and two ring Hob. The Television doesn't require to be fed Euro's either. A safe was provided in the apartment but is charged at €11 plus a €5 refundable deposit for the week.
We never saw a mosquito or any other biting insects in the rooms all week we were there (or anywhere else for that matter). A ceiling fan in the bedroom was welcome and just about kept us comfortable during the hot evenings.
Internet access is available in the reception area with four booths available.
The location was 200 yards from the beach with no roads or traffic to worry about for young kids, other than a service road to the shops and restaurants on the sea front with the odd delivery van in the morning.
All the staff we came into contact with were very helpful and professional.

The apartment was fine, we knew the rooms would be basic and we knew there was no air conditioning, so we utilise the fan hire.
We were lucky enough to be allocated a room with a pool and sea view.
The hotel staff, were very friendly, and again nothing was too much trouble.
The reps at the Playa Flamingo were the best we have encountered to date, the childrens reps were brilliant, especially Nicky....she was wonderful with the children.
All in all the holiday was excellent.
Hopefully we'll be heading back next year.

The apprtment was too small for 4 really. But with some adjustments we managed fine. The place was clean and in good order. The maid was thorough and towles bed linen changed on a regular basis.
Very close to the beach (man made) can get a bit full of cig ends.
Did not eat at appartment. Too many good places in Playa Blanca. Slow boat 6 5 mins down the road was handy and nice.
Thompson reps Great Adi & Charlotte. Good pair good laugh and very helpful not matter what the subject.

The complex is in an excellent location just a few steps down to the beach. We were lucky to have an apartment which overlooked the pool. Quite a few steps and ramps around the complex. 1 bed apartment very small for a family of 4. Maid service very good. We felt that the playa flamingo complex was very good and deserved the Thomson 4T rating but feel the apartments were prettty basic. Entertainment excellent for both adults and children and the thomson reps are full of live. Pool area very busy and definately not enough sun beds, we noticed people queueing at 7.30am at the pool to grab a bed. Also feel the apartment terrace would have been better with a parasol as it was very very hot when we were there. A few ants at night in the apartment but nothing much to worry about. The thing that let down the apartment was its heat. We hired a fan but still struggled to sleep at night. The apartments definately need air con.

The hotel was fine in was in a great location it looked fine and was for the first couple of days. There was ants everywhere in the kitchen and in the bedroom but this problem was sorted out.
On the fifth night though a rubbish container was set on fine not far from my room. None of the near by cars were moved and if one had got alight all of it would be alight but the bigger problem was the fact that it was right next to a big gas container.

We were impressed by the size, the cleanliness and range of appliances (kettle, microwave, coffee maker, fidge-freezer, TV and toaster)available at our apartment. The apartment was upstairs and had balconies at the front (with excellent sea views onto the complex and Fuerteventura) and at the back (on to the mountain).
The complex is situated in a quiet location and although our apartment was near the evening entertainment, the noise levels were quite reasonable and did not present any problems.
All staff were very helpful and friendly.
We did suffer a minor problem with ants (not worth complaining about though) but our main gripe was that all sun-beds around the pool were "reserved" by 9:00, but less than a quarter were actually occupied even an hour later. There aren't nearly enough sun beds or space if everyone in the complex wanted to sit round the pools
The quality of the food in the upstairs restaurant (above Reception) was disappointing for evening meals - we tried it once but decided to eat out all other nights.
Would we go back again? Yes, we really enjoyed it

Nice clean apartments. Basic facilities (2 ring hib, fridge, freezer, kettle, microwave & coffee maker).
Fantastic location, our apartment was next to the road that went down to the beach, and we had a supermarket practically on our doorstep. We used the smaller pool along from our apartment, as it was alot quieter (ie the sunbeds weren't already taken), and the playground was a godsend as we could watch our 5 year from the comfort of our patio. The only problems for us, were some of the steep ramps up & down the complex, they can be quite slippy and hardwork with a pushchair, the last little problem was the long walk to the actual town, only 15-20 minutes but along way for a 5 year old.
Our reps were great, friendly and helpful .. the best Thompson reps we've encounted. Hotel staff were friendly.
Entainment for the under 3's is limited, the softplay is good, but that's about it. A few toys in a quiet corner wouldn't have gone amiss. Our 5 year old loved the club, especially the Choc-o-lot party.
Yes, we would visit again. The apartment/resort had everything we were looking for and more.

We stayed in the flamingo apartments in August 2003 and found the holiday excellent. The apartments kept very clean, the pool spotless, the beach (200yds) excellent. Would recommend the flamingo apartments to any family.
