“Billing Error or Fraud!!!”

Flamingo Vallarta Resort & Marina

1 of 5 stars
Chicago, Illinois
Oct 22, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

I stayed at this hotel the night I arrived in Puerto Vallarta and again the night before I departed which was 8 days later. I had prepaid reservations for 1 room each night but decided to rent a second room so that I had more beds for my family. Upon returning home and examining my credit card statements 2 months later, I saw that I was double charged for the extra room the first time I came through the hotel and that I was overcharged far more (in excess of $300) the second time I came through the hotel. One credit card company (i.e., bank) reversed the first errant charge but the second overcharge is still under investigation by a different credit card company.

I saw that several other TripAdvisor reviewers had warned of credit card overcharges at this hotel before I decided to use my credit cards, however, after seeing how nice the people at the front desk were, I thought it almost surely wouldn't happen to me. I was wrong.

rooms are ok, but the breakfast was poor with rude staff (no way to change the strawberry mermelade by other flavor or honey) I change 100 euros against 1200pesos (right change should be around 1400 pesos) yves MOINE

“Nice Hotel, Avoid the Restaurant”

Flamingo Vallarta Resort & Marina

Feb 28, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

Not a bad place for the price. We stayed there on the day of our arrival and the day of our departure from Mexico because it was near the airport (we spent the week in between 150 miles down the coast). Rooms are spacious and reasonably clean, with a few signs of wear. Both of our rooms had nice balconies and the showers were quite luxurious. The hallways have tile flooring, so noise tends to resonate pretty loudly. The lobby and the grounds are lovely. WARNING: Avoid the hotel's "La Palapa" restaurant at all costs!!!! Not only was our meal grossly overpriced, but the food was horrible (our 19-year old son who hadn't eaten all day wouldn't even finish a hamburger!) and a bad piece of meat gave me a case of food poisoning that had me running to the bathroom for 2 days. Being a frequent visitor to Mexico, I am well versed in the do's and don'ts of eating there and this was no common case of "La Touristas". A hotel employee overheard my wife telling the manager at the front desk that I had become ill after eating there and asked her "was it meat?" which led us to believe that perhaps this was not the first such problem they'd had there.

“Not exciting but convenient”

Flamingo Vallarta Resort & Marina

Oct 5, 2006
4/4 found this review helpful

We were looking for a hotel for a couple of nights close to the airport where we could stay prior to driving North to the great small resort towns of Nayarit. This hotel is very reasonably priced, the rooms are quite nice, the hotel restaurant staff are very pleasant. There is free internet service for your lap top in the lobby. it`s not an exciting hotel, that is quite pleasant. We picked up because of it`s convenient location by the airport. We plan to stay there again.

“Great economy hotel”

Flamingo Vallarta Resort & Marina

4 of 5 stars
Santa Cruz, CA
Oct 5, 2006
7/7 found this review helpful

I have stayed at the Flamingo twice and will return January 2007.

The hotel is nothing fancy but the rooms are very large and clean - it is an older property but decently maintained. A very short walk to the main area of the Marina and to bus stop for downtown area. The Marina has great restaurants - Portabella - the fanciest, Fajita Bananas, Ristorante Italiano, etc. These are all a 5 minute walk from Flamingo. Not romantic, but great budget hotel for golf buddies and families. Restaurant by the pool is good for fast breakfast. If you don't expect a 4 star hotel you'll be satisfied - 2 1/2 stars is correct.
