TUI BLUE Flamingo Beach

This hotel is ideal for families! We had a room close to the Spa, which opens their indoor pool 10am while midday for children. Ideal for a windy/cloudy day. The small park and soft play helped on these days. The food tastes fresh and plenty of choice. The cooked to order station with choices of fish and meat was great and the kids buffet was ideal. The best thing about this hotel was the location. Right on the beach!!! We didn't use the kids clubs but others were upset as these incurred extra costs. The negatives.... The alcohol is bad!!! Spirits were not ideal for human consumption. We made do with the local beer and wine watered down with lemonade. If half board was an option. This would be our preference. The buffet was busy, too busy at times we had to use the smaller upstairs buffet with an adult only area. I would hate to experience the wait during half term/summer holidays. Entertainment was a let down. Not as good as caravan parks, started too late for.an 18 month old and the majority was in Deutch. Would return for the location/beach but not on an all inclusive basis.

Overall we had a nice stay at the resort. The apartments are spacious and clean. We had a lovely cleaner Catalina. We did come across one cockroach in the apartment that landed on my shoulders as opened the curtains! Had the shock of my life. We didn’t see him again so assumed the cleaning lady hoovered him up! We had a lovely view of the sea from our apartment. The pool was nice and the breakfast selection very good. We got a little bored of lunch and dinner mid week so ate out quite a lot. The restaurants locally are excellent. We had a meal booked through the hotel at Taverna and it was delicious. The staff were very helpful too! The evening entertainment was ok but maybe not the best for a toddler who likes to run around the whole time. We got told off for him trying to get on the stage but lots of kids wanted to. The drinks served throughout the day and night were ok if you’re a beer drinker. Cocktails were questionable! The beach was beautiful and we loved spending time there. The sun beds are €6 each for the day. The poolside at the hotel was nice but I can imagine the kids pool getting massively crowded during peak season. My little one did have an allergic reaction the first two days there. (He’s quite allergic in general) and we figured out it may have been the material in the cot bed as once he’d slept us he was fine. But that’s not down to the hotel. The staff on reception were lovely. It is quite a big hotel and don’t feel like we did explore it fully.

We are just back from a great 14 night stay in Lanzarote. We where checked in within 5 minutes and greeted by the receptionist Leanne was warm and welcoming and knew what she was doing.Our room was spacious and was great for us very close to the restaurants and the pool area. Food was super catered for all. Entertainment in the evening was super when the reps where singing the other nights where ok. The TUI team in the hotel was super Kyle and Caroline where always happy and smiling, they where full of information and are a real credit to the company please pass on the are doing a great job as they looked tired by the end of our stay. There is a few things preventing me giving this a 5/5 we would love to see another bar introduced to the hotel and also would love for the pools to be heated. Other than that great stay and have booked TUI blue here for august see you then! Thanks smith family
