Guest reviews for Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo

3 out of 5

Nice but could be better.

We enjoyed staying in the Flamingo Beach Resort and Spa for 3 nights but felt that this us a hotel that could be improved. Staff were friendly but lacked a certain 'can do' attitude, there was no real attempt to please the customer at any time. Breakfast was delicious and the pool area, plus the location right on Playa Flamingo, were real highlights. The ripoff was comfortable and the AC worked well. Gym was fine too. Overall a good, but nit a great, hotel which has the potential to be so much better.
