Great location but skeletal service
Photos looked amazing but actual property was aged 20 years and laid forgotten thereafter. There was only 1 reception staff around to cater to the entire premises (granted that I only saw two other couples stay around us). The room was large with two stories, however upon check-in, noticed that cleanliness was subpar (stains in glasses, bathtub not cleaned). Housekeeping was only once a day and two pax to clean the entire place (hence not possible to be thorough - and they only spent 15 mins) so we noticed there will always be spots missing (i.e. bottles not refiled, cups / utensils not washed, bath area not washed, toiletries not refilled). Sheets were always changed though. Service was also lacking. Had asked for scooter rental - but the reception only contacted one vendor and when that option ran out she told us to source for a vendor ourselves. We found one 4 doors down and were told by the scooter vendor that the hotel had their contact but just never called. Lights were dim. Mirror lights were working but case was broken. Shower was weak with water tricking (irked my partner). All in all, it was a functional place in a good location but you can't expect anymore service or help in this skeletal place.

Nice villas, slow AC and no cold water
Our stay was lovely overall, just a few minor things: no hot water in the shower and the AC took awhile to cool off the room. The villa was lovely though and a few decent spots to grab lunch or dinner. There's also a Luwak Coffee place a few minutes walk.

Lovely Villa, Great Location
We stayed at Flamingo for six nights, our little villa was very spacious and really quite cosy. Flamingo was very well located, 10 minute drive from Padang Padang beach and 15 from Suluban beach/Uluwatu Caves. The breakfast was lovely, we had to pre-order in the evening for the next day and had to request the time we wanted it. We found that we were the only people in for breakfast the first day, so we had room service for the remainder of our stay (we would sit outside by the pool, which was very pleasant). The room and bathroom were very cleaned every day and the staff couldn’t have done more. The provided us with an iron upon request, which saved us money on dry cleaning. The only two downsides to Flamingo are, firstly the pool, it’s a lovely pool, but it doesn’t get the sun so the water is rather cold which is such a shame, we ended up only using it twice, we took an Uber to the beach instead. Secondly, Flamingo is very quiet, which may suit some of you, but if you are looking for nigh life you will need to get a taxi/Uber to Padang or Suluban (which are relatively cheap). We found a lovely Italian eatery (Pizzeria Italia) about 2km from the hotel and ate here a few times, the prices were very good and the portions huge. The staff at Flamingo are very nice and will go out of their way to help accommodate you.

Perfect for our needs/vacationing style
The villa is huge. There is nothing the staff wasn't ready to provide, be it renting a motorbike, getting a taxi or letting us order food after a day of beach hopping. Immediate area is scarce, but it's just a short bike or cab ride away from uluwatu temple, or all the great hidden beaches. If you're looking for a luxury resort, this is not it, but if you're like my husband and I, and like venturing out, getting lost and coming back to an affordable, clean and welcoming place to recoup, Flamingo is an excellent option.

Great villas. Far from beach.
The villa was great and very spacious. We enjoyed eating the complimentary breakfast in the upstairs living area, which was served to us in our villa. They had a bunch of great choices for breakfast too, it was awesome. The sliding doors to the villa are REALLY annoying. The beaches are a couple miles, so without a scooter, which we avoided because of how dangerous it is, it was a bit of a pain getting back from the beaches. Getting to a beach was easy, since the metered taxis will take you no problem. When you want to leave the beach, metered taxis won't pick you up. You have to take the private transport service back, which will cost nearly triple what you pay with the meter. Something to think about, if you don't want to pay that and don't want to ride a scooter, look for somewhere closer to the beach.

Nice Villa Layout!
We stayed in the private pool villas, which had a nice pool (not too deep), outside kitchen, well maintained bathroom and great room amenities and layout. The food from their restaurant (we had mie goreng) wasn't bad, and the staff was friendly. The place feels well kept up, and pricing was great!

Nice hotel / the staff were very nice. However the road outside is somewhat busy with no foot path ... which can somewhat be difficult / scary when walking with young kids. There are not a lot of touristic shops nearby (I liked this). People are not trying to sell you stuff or be your driver for the day as much.

Friendly helpful staff. Beautiful spot.
Enjoyable. Pleasent. Relaxing ............. 15mins Scooter ride from the beach. The only thing I could fault about the stay but it was out of Flamingos Control was there was a annoying rooster that crowed every morning and disturbed the peace but apart from that everything was mint. Super comfortable beds. clean nice villas. very nice staff. good size pool. Beautiful surroundings.

Beautiful but isolated
Flamingo Dewata is a beautiful resort hotel with good facilities and good people. However, it is on a busy road without sidewalks, the nearby food and shopping options are minimal, and the hotel's own room service food is of barely acceptable quality.

Nice hotel, the staff were fantastic!
We loved the hotel, it is on the quiet side of bali which we loved. We arranged a driver for the week so had no problems getting to all the tourist hotspots. The local supermarkets were close & when we needid a pharmacy it was literally 5 mins away. Hotel staff organised a driver for a great price, and went out of there way to accomodate our needs.

Nice Garden, Spacious and Clean.
I have spent twelve nights in Nuri room and one night in 1 deluxe room. Nuri room is older style but spacious, clean, nice view all around, temperature not much variation in the villa and share one big swimming pool but very much the whole pool just for my family. 1 Deluxe room is private villa, private swimming pool, smaller villa compare to Nuri room, newer, modern and very nice and clean room. The access door between the swimming pool and the bath room has a vent at the bottom half of the door which let hot air coming in and cools air going out. I have to close the door between the bed room and bathroom to keep the bedroom cool and keep mozzie out. The bedroom temperature about 20 degree and in the bathroom temperature feel like 40 degree which make very unpleasant to live in. My suggestion is close off the door vent and install ceiling fan. Breakfast is good menu and can be served in the restaurant or in your private room which is nice. Food in the restaurant for lunch and dinner still has a lot of room for improving (food not fresh) Garden is very nice and well look after. All staffs are very nice especially Eddy and Tommy. Thank you all Flamingo Dewata staffs. Regards Hung Dinh 28/12/15-10/01/2016

Obsolutely stunning place tucked in the outskirt
Thankfully our driver knows his way about in Bali. We had booked 2 nights but due to the volcanic eruptions in Lombok we stayed back at the 1st resort. However, the 1 night is really awesome for the family as the children enjoyed the unit a lot. The staff had a little problem understanding our questions but they are quick to get another one who understood. We were surprise to find the bed a lil small. Tho the 2nd floor had a nice cosy day bed and beanbags n cushions, we prefer to have 2 young kids sleep with us. Had topped up an additional single bed for our 6 yr old. He is happy to have cartoon sheets, bolsters, blankets n pillow. Would go back again in future.

A chilling place in bali
Flamingo is a very relaxing place. The check in was simple and fast. Receptionist was nice. And free breakfast were provided. The room is big and there are two floors. The swimming pool is just one step out of the room. The price is very reasonable and you will definitely love the environment. I'd stay again for my next bali trip.

Great value hotel, own transport essential
Beautiful, spacious rooms, lovely female staff, but needs more attention to the finer details and service ie the shuttle is non existent, taxis are ridiculously overpriced, but you can hire a bike or car so cheaply nearby. The location is away from the beach but easy access to Uluwatu, Padang Padang and Dreamland for surfers. Overall we loved the room and garden and would go back!

You can breathe!!
Me and friend stayed here in a villa during the first portion of our stay in Bali and it was great! The room or shall i say house was very spacious and not a shoebox like most hotels. Little bit of wear and tear but only noticed it because I'm fussy. Food was to an average standard but we didn't get sick from it which was a bonus. Place to be if you after a more quite and relaxing stay while in Bali =)

Lovely villa and complex
The 2 storey villa was lovely and extremely spacious for the two of us. A couch and small table was upstairs where a second bed could be placed if needed (headboard and bedside tables were installed). The complex is set up for a wedding, presumably for people to view because there wasn't a wedding on at the time. The pool is lovely and refreshing, not too warm however it would be nice if cocktails could be ordered while relaxing in the pool. Our room did have a minibar so we made our own drinks and ordered a few beers from the reception desk. The nasi goreng for breakfast was delicious! We ordered it every day and it was made differently each time but it was always yum. We ordered our breakfast to be delivered to our villa which we ate on the balcony or in bed because the restaurant was set up as if a wedding was on so we thought that would be a bit weird.

Definitely not a 4.5 star hotel!
The staff could not understand English which made communication very difficult. The electricity kept turning off and we found ourselves having to make constant trips up to reception as our phone either didn't work or when it did work no one at reception would pick up. At breakfast we had requested juices and what we got was brightly coloured cordial. This was by no means a 4.5 star hotel and we feel that Expedia really let us down with this one! The neighbour insisted on playing hard core techno music at an unbearable volume for the entire time we were at this hotel for. We had booked in for four days but had to leave after one night. The hotel is in the middle of no where!

Beautiful place but....
The villas are beautiful, very big and comfortable, the pool area is lovely and the view too. So concerning the place itself it really is fantastic and relaxing! The staff is nice too ! however the quality of the food is poor (when you order fruit juice in this type of place you expect fresh fruits or at least a juice like you'd find at the supermarket even if not freshly squeezed but we got syrup with water, The 'fruit platter' is tiny, and concerning the menu it looks nice but they could not do most of the dishes they offered because they didn't have the ingredients.)The other negative point is that it says there is a free shuttle but we had to ask for it as they were trying to make us pay quite a bit of money for a driver instead. All in all we spent so much time bargaining prices with them to get a driver because they were not keen on offering us the free shuttle services advertised... Which was a bit annoying and time consuming.

Nice hotel with large well kept territory and beau
My husband and I stayed at Flamingo in October 2014 for 11 nights. Our one bedroom two store villa was very big and nice. Breakfast was good but I cannot recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner, We only had dinner there once but three of four dishes we ordered were different from stated in the menu. However there are two good cafes just in a kilometer from the hotel: pizzeria Italia and Grill cafe. Both stay in a hundred meters from each other. Also there is a store (with liquor department) in five min walk from Flamingo. Right in front of it there was a lady frying chicken (PFC). Very nice. Overall we had very good relaxing holiday here and definitely recommend this place.
