Flamingo Waterpark Resort

THERE WAS BLOOD ON THE SHEETS.
Absolutely disgusting. So they obviously do not change sheets between lodgers. Can't imagine was floating the the waterpark/pool. Left early due to how gross this place was.

Very impressed and satisfied by this hotel, the staff, the rooms and service. The rating online does this place no Justice. Should be upgraded soon I hope. I want to give a very heartfelt thank you to all the staff including the room service folks but more to the front desk staff who were so accommodating. These are Lesley, Abby, Lorena & Letty. If I left someone out it wasn't intentional, I just didn't get your name, but to all of you at this location, God bless you all land thank you so much for making me feel welcomed and appreciated. I'll be back soon, probably in a day or 2 since it seems I'm staying in Orlando a few more days. Till next time, stay blessed.

When booking here I think the biggest thing to keep in mind is that you are mainly paying for the water park which I honestly loved and had a great time celebrating with my family for my nephew's birthday. The rooms were clean and nicely stocked up but some things were off.
1. Our hotel phone didn't work! Not saying it's a big deal but kinda wtf
2. Big crack on peep holes
3. My parents and me and my brother had our own rooms side by side and completely different rooms it was crazy
4. There was this weird 2hr period where they turned off the water park and didn't let anyone enter cause they said it was "raining" but it was beautifully sunny
5. Blanket is a literally sheet will not keep you warm also blanket and sheet did feel a little damp
6. No bottom grip on door just a little open space at the bottom
But the water park is totally worth it and kids will love it !

You definitely pay for the water park and not the hotel. It was very outdated! The tub faucet dripped continuously, the refrigerator had a wonky leg and made a loud buzzing noise, and they are aware tiny ants all over the bathroom countertop. There's not ice machines or room clocks. There was resort music blasting until 10:00. My kids had a great time water areas. We probably won't be back with so many other, newer options available.

An amazing and inexpensive place for a family stay or for a secluded retreat. There is a swimming pool and water park open till late for the kids and adults to have a good time. Check in staff is amazing and polite and room service is beyond par. The rooms themselves are huge with comfortable beds, lots of pillows, towels, lotion, soaps, shampoos and conditioners. There is also a flat screen TV, a fridge, a microwave and a coffee maker with free coffee in every room. Located in a central area by a major intersection, the entrance is easy to miss since it seems interconnected with a used car driveway. The experience was great and I would highly recommend it.

Amazing staff, sooo helpful and nice. Beautiful location and amenities and the water park was great. Highly recommend for out of towners and locals.

absolutely disgusting, im not one to write reviews but this place was so freaking moldy and so gross, the room was moist and extremely hard to breath in, my mom went to the front desk to change rooms and the room we got the second time was even worse. when we opened the door we were slapped in the face with a terrible odor. not only that there was women sitting in the walk way high out of the life on something thats not weed. so trashy and disgusting do better and do NOT go here. dont even step foot in here or you will get sick from the mold

The ONLY reason I'm giving this "hotel" two stars is because of the waterpark. It's perfect for small children.

Other than that this has got to be the worst hotel. They advertise as "affordable" but then your hit with outrageous fees and they do not include the water park so you have to pay an additional fee.

I've been here a few times in the past where we just rented a room to take the kids to the water park but after this stay it will be the last.

I came in during the hurricane and upon check-in the woman was extremely rude and abrasive. I had my three children with me.

They went over the policy and said, "no smoking, no pets." And my daughter said, "We have kittens!" All she heard was pets and is always excited to tell people about her kittens we got recently.

The woman then told me we would not be able to stay with animals (I just saw someone walking a dog out front).

I assured her our pets weren't in with us and proceeded to check-in. I requested a room where I could view my car and preferably lower floor. She barked at me, "We don't take special requests." And proceeded to put me in a room on the inside when there were numerous open on the outside of the building where I could view my vehicle and it wouldn't be such a hassle getting my 1 year old, 4 year old, and seven year old along with our stuff inside.

I got in the room and it was filthy. The sheets stained, the remote broken, dead bugs, etc.

They never answer their phones and good luck getting your deposit back! They take it and then tell you that it takes up to ten business days to get it back and then after ten business days IF you can get ahold of them they tell you something must've happened in their system and they're issuing it. Then you'll likely have to continue calling and next thing you know it's been over a month.

I would have not stayed here during the hurricane but had no choice. The other "affordable" hotels were booked.

They definitely raised the prices in lieu of hurricane Ian as well.

It's really sad to see this because the hotel has a lot of great potential if it were cared for properly.

It's ok for a budget hotel. The kids had fun, but it is definitely in need of some renovation. The staff did good with what they had as far as everything being being clean, but they could definitely use some upkeep.
