Not Worth the Money
Reviewed By 992rustywSo, we’re here now 5/29/2022. The property is great and the beach atmosphere/jibe is very fun. Lots of fun entertainment via music or kid’s games to keep everyone amused. Based on what you pay for a room I’d rate them a 5. This is a great resort for all RED NECKS. They have a full size frig in your room for all your food. They allow coolers and carry bags of food at the pool. I was told that any activity at the pool by adults and kids is OK as long as you don’t dive in or jump in on someone. Throwing footballs, tennis, nerf and water type balls in the pool are a CONSANT approved splash or impacted hazard to everyone. The food and drinks are all AWESOME but the service can be terrible. Service throughout the entire food and beverage staff is VERY slow and you’re treated like you’re just another stupid tourist they’ll never see again. Once you order, you’re at their mercy. No matter what you’re told or what you see there is NO regular food or beverage service around the pool. Though the rules read no outside food or beverages allowed around the pool that’s a LIE, therefore, rule abiding paying customers are overlooked. We were told they simply only walk around the pool when they aren’t busy somewhere else. On more than one occasion they took our order but never returned. We saw one of them later and they apologized and explained to us that they are told to do that. This happened several times. Food and beverage prices are extravagant here. Go on line and check out the menu of each restaurant. LOL the breakfast buffet is like $44.00 a person. Acholic drinks are all $15 plus. Most meals and just a few drinks during the day will cost you well over $100.00 a day each. Do the math 3 meals and drinks will cost you a minimum of around $400.00 a day. Be sure and put that in your budget before you book a room here. Soooo, with the full size frig in your room don’t ever buy any food or drinks from the hotel. This is a top 10 place to stock up the full-size refrigerator in your room and hang out with a bunch of rednecks around a pool. Not that anyone who stays here more once would need to know but they don’t even offer valet or concierge service.

Perfect for the Seabreeze Jazz Festival
Reviewed By Stephanie JMy husband and I met some friends for the Seabreeze jazz festival the end of April. The Springhill Suites Marriott was very accommodating as we had a last-minute change in our location. I think the front desk staff could have been better educated regarding the amenities in the area as they were out of laundry detergent and sent me on a wild goose chase. It was not a big deal but I think it’s important to the front desk staff to accurately describe local amenities. I also found the laundry equipment to be very dirty. I have attached a picture of the washing machine. Routine cleaning should be done for that type of heavy use appliance. Other than that it was a great experience.

FANTASTIC Bar and Recreation Services
Reviewed By annesham3THE GOOD: I can't say enough WONDERFUL things about the hospitality and service from the bar staff. Dayna, Luke, Tracy and Lauryns were AMAZING...nothing short. Always friendly and welcoming and great with area recommendations. The pool staff of Madison and Hannah were so friendly too. Happy to help us with anything we needed or suggestions we wanted for our trip. The games and recreation provided over our stay by Wyatt at the pool were great too. They were all incredibly welcoming and just a ton of fun to hang out with. Felt like friends you had known forever! Seriously made our trip! THE BAD: The breakfast service was terribly lacking. We had the buffet every morning, and we consistently sat for 15-20 minutes every morning before we were even greeted. Getting drinks and flatware was painful. It didn't seem to be a situation of under staffing most mornings - just not very hospitable and service focused. The housecleaning and room cleanliness were also lacking and unbelievably inconsistent. The front desk wasn't incredibly motivated to help either. They did listen and were polite. But no action unlike Jerome and Scott in food and beverage who continued to check in to see if things were improving. The staff of Flip Flops and Pelican's seriously took what could have been a really miserable trip given the challenges in certain areas of the hotel and gave us an experience that we can look back on fondly. Kudos to the fun and professionalism that they brought every day to their jobs...your guests appreciated your efforts! This property is lucky to have you!

Nice stay
Reviewed By Chris HSpent three nights here in a room with two queen beds. Excellent hotel. Large room, nice furnishings except for the upholstered chair—really uncomfortable. Nice amount of lights in the room except for the bathroom, which had only one dim light making it hard to shave. Offered a hot breakfast each morning but due to (I’m guessing) COVID, there were only six small tables available. The hot breakfast was eggs/sausage patty/grits or eggs/sausage patty/biscuits/oatmeal—typical of hotels in this price range that offer a hot breakfast. Plus of course, the typical cold cereal, bread, bagels, yogurt, fruit, etc. Bed was comfortable. There is a nice pool and hot tub available with pool towels. Also an exercise room but we didn't use it. Located away from the beach-definitely not walking distance. Really nice staff. Note this is a non-smoking hotel but with rain, the idiotic smokers had to congregate at the front entrance and staff didn’t seem to care about that. Also, to our surprise, they evidently only clean your rooms/provide fresh towels once every three days (unless you catch the cleaning staff to ask for replacement towels). Note that the hotel WiFi is strong and fast but totally unsecured. Would stay here again.

"Hot" tub was tepid
Reviewed By 375neerkThe rooms are decent enough and mostly clean, the view is AMAZING, it's really ON the beach. But, if like us, you are looking for a hotel with a HOT tub, this one was NOT hot, it was barely warm. When we asked an employee if the heat can be raised he replied they cannot because other guests do not follow the rules and allow their young children in the hot tub and he cannot be responsible for potentially harming a child. WHAT the whaaa?! So, rather than finding a way to ENFORCE the rules (which are started clearly enough on a sign and are quite standard rules for all hot tubs and pools) they would rather allow paying guests be disappointed, we chose THIS hotel over others in the area BECAUSE they have a hot tub.

An award winning Family Owned and Operated beachfront motel for over 35 years.
Very sad
Reviewed By Getaway792474When I called in March to make reservations for August, the girl on the phone was so rude and couldn't care less about me making reservations. Prices more than doubled from my visit last year. Then I found out why. The Lancasters sold to a new owner. We decided not to stay at the Flamingo anymore because it would be too heartbreaking to see the negative changes. Reading the reviews I can see I was correct to decide to stay elsewhere. A real shame. The Flamingo used to be home away from home. ?

It’s okay
Reviewed By jorettalongCustomer service is great, free breakfast, but very long lines, free parking, but very few spaces. They are renovating I think, so there’s lots of old furniture and stuff on the property. Also, the rooms are cleaned just enough to sleep one night. I wouldn’t stay longer. The outside is nice— especially the pool area. There’s lots of huge water bugs outside, so beware!! Lol overall, it’s pretty cool. I’d stay again when prices aren’t so high.
