Food - huge choice of food not always hot and not as well cooked as I would have liked, I think meat dishes were very cheap cuts of meat as most were tasteless. Also meal times were very noisy with small children running round with their hands in salad dishes and bread trays.
Pool - fantastic 3 pools lovely outlay with kids section and playground. Pool had bar serving drinks and snacks
Drinks - locally produced drinks as part of all inclusive tasted fine to me and measures were good branded drinks were about £3.50
Entertainment - loads of daily programmes which were good, but evening entertainment was pretty dull if you are used to seeing what usually goes on in Benidorm you’ll be disappointed with hotel shows
Overall - I had a great time but would not revisit this hotel as it was like being at an unruly nursery for under 5"s. Too far back from nightlife for my liking although you could get a taxi for about 6 euro. No problems from stag or hen parties as some have previously said, hotel was on the whole good but not as great as some reviews have previously said. There are others just as good.

The hotel is a lovely hotel but our problem was with the holidaymakers in it. It really made us ashamed to be British. The number of unruly kids with parents sat in the bar getting drunk was astonishing. Kids were supposed to be with an adult at all times but this was not the case.
We were disappointed with the food in that they did nothing for kids. On 2 days over a fortnight they did smiley faces but that was it. My son lived off rolls every day and my daughter, chips. A family hotel should put more on for the kids.
Some of the sights we saw where young kids were allowed by their parents to go and get there own food was a sight to be believed. One boy put on 6 or 7 ladels of gravy over his dinner, pouring it all over the floor and tipping half his dinner in the gravy container, before walking away pouring it all over the floor as he went. He was about 5 or 6 years old. Another morbidly obese girl (of which the number of obese kids was amazing) went to the pudding counter. She had a huge plate of mousse. She proceeded to lick it from the plate while at the counter finally finishing by licking the plate clean. She put the plate back down in the pile of clean plates before helping herself to some other pudding.
Outside entertainment went on til around 1am and to get the kids to sleep we all had to resort to earplugs. On one occasion at 2.30am we were woken by a group of children running down our corridor and banging loudly on our door and running off laughing. Where were the parents?
The excellent reviews written must be by the parents of these kids. Anybody with standards would be appalled by the behaviour of the people who stay here. Perhaps we were just unlucky.
It really made us feel that hotel holidays are not for us and we will get private accommodation in future.

The strongest point we felt was the food, with a good selection of well-prepared dishes.
At the other end of the scale was the drinks on offer.
The beer was dreadful, very flat and week with the spirits & wines of real cheap quality.
We are all only moderate drinkers but on several occasions we awoke with hang overs after a night of sobriety. But to the hotels credit you can have as much or as little as you choose of what you want.
The hotel employees a very large entertainment team, who work hard putting on their own in house shows based around musicals besides their daytime activities of organising games and quizzes.
There were several visiting acts of reasonable quality in the large entertainment lounge but always a queue at the bar should you choose to drink whilst in there.
Also, there is a piano bar where the piano player/singer was talented & quite entertaining. This bar got full most nights so it was difficult to find a good seat away from the smoking area.
This hotel has three pools, two outside of which one is on the 25th floor complete with bar and an indoor pool.
The bedrooms are above average in size, and as there was only two of us per room there was space to spare and loads of wardrobe space for the clothes.
To summarize, we paid a total of £310 each for a week’s stay, but I would not want to pay a great deal more, as this hotel is huge and lacks that cosy friendly atmosphere you get with smaller hotels.

The food was excellent and all our party thought it was some of the best hotel food we had ever had. Fantastic service from all the staff in the hotel.
The all inclusive drinks are from 10 in the morning until midnight. Food is available for most of the day until about 10 pm.
The Bar staff are great and the measures are generous.
Loads of bars shops and the outdoor market are all on the doorstep. The old town is about a mile away but taxis are pretty cheap.
The only negative was we were thought that the cost for hire of the safety box in the room was very expensive at 17 Euros

We return to this hotel, visiting six or seven times a year, it is fantastic.
As always there were no complaints, everything was perfect, if you are going on holiday to Benidorm this hotel is a must.
To cap it all the weather was warm and sunny, it was good enough to spend four hours a day around the pool or on the adults only roof terrace.
I can highly recommend this hotel to all age groups.
Looking forward to our next holiday and again it will be the FLAMINGO OASIS.
If you are looking for somewhere to spend Christmas or the New Year, again I can only recommend this hotel, if you have children, every child will receive a Christmas present from Santa Claus, not just a goody bag, last year each child was given a two wheeled scooter, which was of a good quality!!!
