Please read the comments by “953Traveler” on APR 15, 2012. I couldn’t have said it better myself… I also try to support the Gay community as much as possible and have been burned more than a few times… but The Flamingo has a lot going for it, the rooms are much nicer than the old Suncoast Resort that was just...

We stayed here in February and the rooms were so dirty and carpeting so filthy our feet were black. We asked for a different and clean room, but discovered when we were leaving for dinner that the door would not lock. They tried to fix it, but couldn't so we were going to have to move rooms again. We left.... More

Let's face it, the GLBT Community is, by and large, a picky bunch. Nit-picky and persnickity and very difficult to please. We are the standard bearers for great hospitality and superior service, amenities and luxury. There is not one single Gay Resort in the world that lives up to those standards. Not one. So the Flamingo is NOT a disappointment,... More

We have stayed here 4 times now and it just keeps getting worse. We always try and stay in Gay resorts so we know what to expect. We are not under any dilusions about the quality of gay resorts but tend to prefer them since we can meet people. This place does not deserve to be in business. The rooms... More

Partner said he knew people who had stayed here that did not have the same negative experiences as many on this sight, so we stayed here. The carpeting was the dirtiest caperting I have seen anywehre. Also, the bathtub not only drained slowly, but would spit back up drainage and hair from other rooms. The pool area is great and...

The Flamingo Resort has the potential to be great. The pool area is very well maintained and gets a lot of sun throughout the day. The Cabana Bar is nice as well. There are a lot of rooms. Beyond that, things are pretty atrocious. From my understanding, this is an old Knight's Inn and has been open as the Flamingo... More

I decided at the last minute on a Friday to book a room overnight so I could go to a show they were having on Friday night. The Drag show was excellent! The check in process was a little slow because there was only one young man behind the desk. He was very friendly and helpful. The cost for the... More
