The views from Flamingo are absolutely gorgeous. It is sat right on the beachfront, with direct beach access and a lovely pool. However, I would not come to this resort expecting 5 star luxury, it’s a 3 star at best. The rooms were clean to an extent, but the walls had damp marks on them, and the bathroom was definitely not cleaned to a 5 star standard, it’s cleaned better in b&b’s back in the UK. The aircon can’t go below 24 in temperature, even if set to 18 on the thermostat. We ended up requesting a fan to help distribute the cooler air to where we were sleeping as it was way too hot in there. Again, at a 5 star hotel I would expect to control the temperature of the room to how I like it.
The facilities are great, the spa was lovely and the reception staff were polite and helpful. However you cannot have that number of sun beds for a hotel of that size. Roughly 15 by the pool? Absolutely not. Even if you were lucky enough to get one, some Vietnamese’s families thought they could use them anyway even if your stuff was on them and you were having a quick swim.
Overall, don’t bother coming here if you was a 5 star luxury experience. The hotel itself isn’t bad, if you paid less for the pleasure of staying there and set your expectations to staying at a 3 star.
