Guest Testimonials

Our wedding at Flamingo was more perfect than I could have ever imagined! It was so wonderful and everyone who was there had such a great time. Our families loved every minute of it. So much of that is due to the wonderful people at Flamingo. Juan Carlos did an awesome, awesome job with everything and there were a few other staff members in particular that helped us out a ton. Jerry at the front desk was wonderful at talking to all the members of my family and giving great directions, recommendations, etc to everyone who had questions for him. He was so helpful!

At the Sunset Lounge, Oscar helped attend to our wedding guests at the reception and I think my mother-in-law got a crush on him! He really helped us all to have a great time and kept us relaxed, and kept the party going.

Chef David prepared the most delicious meals for us, both the night of the reception and the following night of our private dinner. His recommendations were perfectly on point and everyone loved all of the food. Both he and Juan Carlos took care of everything so wonderfully, I was able to just relax and enjoy my wedding. It really was a perfect and magical time.

Recién hemos llegado de Costa Rica y aprovechamos para contarle que hemos pasado unos dias maravillosos en dicho pais y en especial en Flamingo Beach Resort & Spa, donde el 24 de abril tuvo lugar nuestra boda civil.   Fue realmente Linda y emotiva. Resta solamente que en unos meses Einar Villavicencio & Asoc., nos envíen Los documentos finales.  La atención en Flamingo Beach Resort fue muy Buena desde todo punto de vista.

Queremos agradecer especialmente el profesionalismo y disposición del chef David, así como la amable y correcta atención de William, quienes hicieron del momento de la cena, un momento inolvidable.  Mención aparte y con nuestro mayor reconocimiento y agradecimiento para el coordinador de bodas, Juan Carlos Rojas , quien nos acompaño y apoyó en la organización de nuestra boda, mostrando en todo momento la más amplia disposición, interés y Buena voluntad para que todo saliera lo mejor posible. A través de su trato cálido y amable nos hizo sentir muy cómodos para disfrutar a pleno todo lo que ofrece Flamingo Beach Resort & Spa.

Encontramos en todos ellos excelentes profesionales y seguramente excelentes personas.  Ojalá la vida nos permita volver a re-encontrarnos, recordar este momento y festejar otros.
Desde Uruguay reciban un cordial saludo de Gustavo y Mónica   --Pura vida ¡

We spent two days with Victor (Vic Tours) fishing in the ocean and on the river.  He gave a personal touch to the four of us, giving a lot of information and background about Costa Rica and showed us some local things to do, along with catching lots of fish!  We would recommend your hotel to anyone interested in fishing and local attractions. The stay from beginning to end was amazing, and the food in the Arenas restaurant was wonderful. We had the breakfast package and it offered a nice assortment.   We would go back to your hotel and Costa Rica in a second. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

The hotel and the complex were beautiful, the room was
great and the service was just over the top.  We were treated like royalty!  Everyone from the waiters to the front desk made us feel like family.  The food was exceptional - we are both very picky eaters and never had a problem finding something at every meal.  Had a chance to really explore the coast, had a some great hikes, saw some great little towns and amazing sunsets. It was a really a trip we will never forget!

All our best,

Amigos,

Our family (18 in all) finished 7 days at the Flamingo Beach on New Years morning. We had a wonderful time.

Your establishment is made for relaxation; the staff is among the most Hospitable in the world (and we've all been around more than a Little).  The beach is perfect, the food just right (thank you Chef David!), the service outstanding.  New Years fireworks were a bit much For me; but all the kids loved 'em.

Thank you for all you did to make this a truly delightful 7 days of Fun in the Costa Rican sun!

With gratitude,

E. Murray

My fiancé and I stayed with you during the week on October 14 though October 21 in Room 233. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by a very friendly bellman, who had the biggest smile I had ever seen. He greeted us like we were old friends. The Front Desk personnel were very nice, and their willingness to make sure we had everything we needed was exceptional. Our room was also very nice, with well appointed decor, and comfortable beds. I had no trouble sleeping.

We met with the tour guide, who arranged two tours for us: the first to the Volcano, and the second to the Canopy. Both tours were awesome! The tour guide was very nice and told us many things about Costa Rica and its history. We enjoyed him very much. The restaurants were fantastic. The food was wonderful and very tasty.
We always looked forward to having our breakfast because the Waiter's and Waitress's were so eager to take care of our needs, always friendly… I never saw one frown the entire time we were there. Such a nice way to start the day!

The Main Restaurant was just right- not too elegant, but a step above the average hotel restaurant. I enjoyed the Chicken and Rice dish the most. Karen liked the Soups and Caesar Salads.

We met so many Staff members, all of which were just great. I can't begin to try to name them all, but one person in particular stood out. Allan, at the Front Desk, always asked us how we were, if everything was ok, did we need anything, etc and took extra time to find a phone number for me to the uniform shop that furnishes your uniform shirts. (I thought they were very attractive and wanted to buy one for myself). The point is, he didn't have to go that extra step, and take that extra time, but he did. I appreciate that immensely. I hope I can make contact with the Uniform company to get that shirt!

My only disappointment was not because of the Resort, but because of my error. I lost my camera on one of the Tour buses when we went to the Volcano. I contacted the tour guide and he checked for me, but to no avail. It was not located. I had taken 186 pictures of Costa Rica that I'll never be able to replace. But, at least I'll have the memories forever.

Friday, we went on a River Tour (through Williams Tours), and that was truly an adventure; we saw Toucan, Macaw, many other birds, crocodiles (we got right up on them…WOW!), and the white faced monkeys. That was a real treat.

Saturday came... and we became very sad. We hated to leave! The people made our stay so enjoyable. I have been all over the world, and have not felt so welcomed as I was at your Resort and in Costa Rica. In closing, I would like to thank you for being our wonderful host; providing us with a great place to stay, wonderful food, and outstanding staff members. I will never forget this vacation.

We have started to make plans to return...hopefully soon, but at least next September/October.

I would be proud to tell all my friends and associates to stay with you, whenever they come to Costa Rica. It has been an absolute pleasure, an adventure to remember.

We thank you,
-Karen and Stan, South Carolina, US
