I was really looking forward to our stay, but it was a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand, the beach was beautiful and the resort was clean. On the other hand, the all-inclusive upgrade process was frustrating, and there wasn’t much to do at night. Overall, it was decent, but I expected more activities and better service from an all-inclusive experience.

Rooms

The rooms were clean and nicely upgraded, though we had two double beds instead of a king bed which felt a bit cramped for my family.

Service

Service was iffy; some staff were friendly but others seemed unhelpful, especially regarding all-inclusive upgrades. I felt a bit misled during that process.

The facilities were alright but the game room closed way too early at 9:30 pm and activities were quite dull.

My stay in Costa Rica was a mixed bag. I loved that everything was easily accessible, from the beach to local eateries, and the rooms were comfy and clean. However, the dining options fell short, especially with limited choices for breakfast. The pool area wasn't in the best condition, which also dampened the experience a bit. The value for money was decent, but I think improvements are needed in a few areas.

We had a wonderful stay at this resort. The location is absolutely fantastic, right on Playa Flamingo Beach with stunning ocean views. The staff was incredibly attentive and eager to make our experience memorable, but we did encounter a few minor cleanliness issues in the dining areas. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and we're considering coming back in the future.

While the food was generally good and we enjoyed our meals, the lack of top-shelf alcohol in the all-inclusive package was disappointing and made us feel like there were hidden costs.

Our stay at Margaritaville Flamingo Resort was mostly enjoyable. The resort itself is beautiful with clean and comfortable rooms. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the beach is definitely one of the highlights with soft sand. However, the loud music by the pool could be a drawback for those seeking a more peaceful atmosphere. Overall, it's a great spot for families looking for fun and activities.
