The property which is like a US motel was adequate, safety was good. The hotel is attached to a sister property Taino Beach Resort which is timeshare affiliated. The restaurant, pool, spa services, recreation and beach are across the easy to cross road. The room had a bonus area with an equipped kitchenette, which was useful for fridge, morning tea, and warming any leftovers. The back side of the property had a view of Marina. The staff at front desk, security, property maintenance, restaurant was all pleasant and helpful. Ferry from rear of the Flamingo into Port Lucaya at a collection of local shops, restaurants and bars is a quick 7-minute ride.

My experience was horrible. When we arrived the pool was down & I didn’t get any heads up notifications or anything they just mentioned it casually at the check in. When we arrived to the room, They gave us the wrong key.. the Room was dirty .. the shower/tub had Pubic hair still there like it wasn’t clean, everything just looked old and broke down from the room to the whole hotel. The phone in the room didn’t work I had to keep going to the front desk and asking.. after I adviced the young lady about the phone not working she got annoyed, overall 1/5 because you don’t have to make nothing hard. The food is expensive at the hotel’s restaurant they’re van service doesn’t run after 10pm when they take you to the market place & The staff overall have bad attitude.. if you settle for something cheap this is definitely the place for you

Once was enough
I don’t mind staying in a cheap hotel to save money when traveling solo. I won’t be staying here again. I’m giving 5 stars to the friendly staff, and 1 star to the property. It is ghetto. TV didn’t work, layout of plugs in the room is dumb and challenging, the sheet setup on the bed is the worst I’ve ever seen… and I’ve traveled all thru Africa and SE Asia. You’d expect everything to be old and run down, and it is. No WiFi. I could see no amenities at all outside of a dock to take you someplace less dreary and isolated. So ya… I’ll be taking a pass on staying here again as I do go thru FPO a few times a year.

They are trying to recover from horrible storms. Great people. Some rooms have been remodeled, but some are very old. Our housekeeping person took towels, but never left any. One day, we never got any until bedtime. Lucky to have a beach towel. Not all rooms had dishes.

The hotel is obviously still recovering but it is clean and the staff are trying very hard to make sure the visitors have what they need. As always the lazy river and grotto bar was a hit. Please support this hotel as it really is a great place to visit and very close to Lucaya and some very beautiful beaches.

Great place to stay in Lucaya on a budget. Also, they have an affordable marina. So just cruise on over from South Florida. Clean, friendly, and close to Lucaya shopping, as long as the shuttle ferry is running.

Did not meet even our moderate expectations. Gave us a “renovated” room that wasn’t finished! No mirror, no towel racks, no TP holder, bare walls, etc. Had to insist three times we needed new room. Then got talked into a vacation ownership sales pitch that didn’t deliver on the promised gift of a snorkel trip because none were even scheduled all weekend. The whole facility is in need of some serious maintenance. The staff confuses friendliness with competence in hospitality.

Basic hotel
The hotel was basic. No internet in the room which is just disappointing. I had to switch rooms twice due to not so clean room and musty smell. Also the airconditioning was super loud in all rooms I switched to so it made sleep difficult and uncomfortable. Overall an outdated hotel that needs a modern upgrade.

All about location and access!
Cannot beat the location - short walk to beach, access to fantastic lazy river pool with a slide across the street (Taino Beach Resort) , water ferry to restaurant and bar area (Port Lucaya) and have the best bartenders at the Gratto bar in the center of the the pool mentioned above. Check in and out was smooth and overall staff is friendly. The room itself was basic however quite adequate as truly you are not in your room much! My room was facing the marina and had a great view.

I’m glad all we did was shower and sleep in room because if we had to stay in it any longer, I doubt I could take it. There is no WiFi in the rooms, the kitchenette is ok but the microwave was so rusty - I was nervous it would blow up in flames if I used. The room itself was dirty and I’m so grateful I had disinfectant wipes. The curtain was torn and the mattress sunk in in the middle. The rooms are pretty run down. The staff are sweet and try to help. You get charged for literally everything!!!!! But that’s everywhere on the island.
