Flamingo Waterpark Resort

This hotel is horrible and so is the management! Do not stay there. Dirty rooms with blood stains on the comforter. Bugs in the room! Plus we were woken by 2 sheriffs at 4 in the morning due to the phone in our room calling 911 on its own. Management did nothing for us and pretty much accused me of lying about it. Don’t risk your children’s mental state. This was traumatic for my son and the hotel does not care. Total rip-​off. I wouldn’t let my dog stay at this place!

I have a 6 and 10 year old and this place is perfect for that age group. Plenty to do for them with the 2 big working water slides and the lazy river. Also the separate swimming pool is great for some variety. The tiki bar is fun and has good service and tasty frosty drinks.
I used a groupon and paid less than $ 90 for the night, including 4 water park passes and pool towels. (there was a $ 25 resort fee when I got to the hotel which I included in the $ 90 total above.) There was a game room which we didn’t use but it looked like fun.
Our room had 2 queen size beds and was on the small side but it was newly renovated and came with a small refrigerator and microwave. The buildings are older which is why it is not getting 5 stars from me. That really wasn’t that important a factor to me though.
I was given a room on the first floor but I didn’t like the view so I asked for one on the second floor. The front desk gal was very accommodating and gave me no problems with my request.
I’m a mom that likes a good deal but I won’t skimp on the safety of my family. This is a great motel/​hotel for families with pre-​teens that are on a budget.
Would I go again? Heck yes!

Nasty stinky rooms gross carpet, sheets, blood on curtains. AC units in room dont function right. Had to change 3 rooms to find out all same issues. Shower heads all broken, foucets drip. Unbelievable but pretty much everything is wrong with this place. No management or control of noice. Kids running around all night long. Loud music from the rooms blasting music middle of night. Plools r super gross with fillthy buttoms. Female used hygiene products found on the stairs of the ride. Nobody watches or followes pool regulations. Do not bring your kids here unless you used to this kind of things. Most disgusting food at TIKI bar. Everthing tastes like been sittin all day than just heated up in microwave and served. Burger was the only eat able item.

This is the WORST motel ever. There are bugs in the room, it is a dump. A resort are they for real. Just drive up to this horrible disgusting place and you can tell. I have pictures of bugs in their suite. I left at 10:30 pm shaking. I never should hjave checked in. Please Please do not waste your time or money

I recently stayed here about a week ago, after reading all the reviews I’m shocked at all the negative ones. I had a wonderful experience here. First the employees at the front desk are very welcoming and made my check in process very easy. When we got to the room, I was very impressed. I booked the deluxe queen bed with jetted tub. Everything was very clean, including he pool area. the only negative I had about his hotel was our bed only came with 3 pillows. But overall I give this experience a 4. I’ll definitely be back again.

Now this hotel decided to reply to my review saying I acknowledged ruining a dubai in the room. that is an absolute flat out lie, 2^nd my card was charged $ 110 not the $ 50 that the room cost. I can’t fathom why you guys would lie but it goes to further show what type of place this is…

I read all the other reviews before booking this hotel but saw they renovated so I was willing to give it a try but I was wrong. The hotel staff are all very nice and I was nicely greeted and helped immediately when checking in.
Our first impression of our room was stinky, smelled like smoker used it the night before, and the sheets were an off white (too much bleach probably used). My phone had no reception on the first floor but that’s because AT&T usually doesn’t work good in this Florida area. I asked to get a new room due to discolored sheets and no phone reception.
Second room was extremely dirty and had bugs on sheets! Please see my picture attached. This hotel has a big bug problem and it needs to be addressed soon. Seems like this has been an issue for over a year now.
Pros:
— Friendly staff
— Will change room if available for issues
— water park is great for kids
Cons:
— bug problem on sheets
— walls are dirty
— past night tenant who smokes were not properly managed
— laundry of sheets are NOT done right (over bleached and looks old and used)
— parking lot has people hanging out and drinking beers in there car

NEVER AGAIN! You are literally in the middle of NOWHERE! The rooms are dirty and smell funny! Got a deal on Groupon so the price wasn’t too bad. The «waterpark» was an overgrown tot lot with water. The food at the onside restaurant was HORRIBLE! It tasted funny and I kept praying I wouldn’t get sick! The parks are a good ½ hour drive. The shuttle is 12.00 per person roundtrip! That’s understandable considering gas and tolls but we drove our own car. You could see the outside through the door jam to our room. And when we got there some crazy woman started asking us questions about where we lived and how long we would be staying. Some drunk guy and his hooker girlfriend harassed my son while he was at the pool! Staff was friendly but the guy that checked us in seemed sad and said he hated working there (not that I blame him!) Was very creepy and poorly lit we were one of three cars in the whole place. So it was me, my son, the crazy woman, and the drunk guy! GREAT!!! Someone tried to get in our room at like 1 AM the first night we were there (probably drunk guy trying to find his room)! Next time we will stay at a more reputable place closer to the park area!

Formerly known as the Clarion Waterpark hotel. We had a not so great experience here several years back. We chose this hotel, not only for the big water slide featured in the center of the courtyard, but because they were also pet-​friendly.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by the sparse but friendly staff. They checked us in rather quickly and showed us on a diagram where our room was located. There was a small restaurant off the side of the lobby which was closed when we checked in. On our way to our room we noticed several vending machines and a small arcade room. There was also a small bar area in the courtyard with several pool tables.
When we got to our room, it was somewhat disgusting. I can understand that they are pet-​friendly, but the room we were given had actual tumbleweeds of dog fur that would blow across the floor when you opened the door. Not 5 minutes with our shoes off resulted in black… and I mean BLACK socks covered in pet hair (and not from our 2 small pets that we had with us). It was as if the floors had not seen a mop in years. Aware that prior guests with pets had stayed in this room and it not being cleaned, we could only imagine the stories that floor could tell. There were plates and several drinking glasses in the cabinets, not that we would dare use any of them after taking note of the overall cleanliness, or lack thereof.
I went to the front desk to see if we could get a different room because the one we were given was so dirty. I was told that the hotel was completely booked and no other rooms were available. So I asked if they could send someone to possibly clean the room. We were told that the housekeeping staff had left for the evening, but I could borrow a vacuum if I wanted to clean the room myself. EXCUSE ME??? Not only was there no apology, but they actually suggested that I clean the room myself. Unbelievable!
Since it was a busy time of year and every area hotel was seemingly booked up, we had no choice but to stay there. I drove to the nearest 24hr Walmart and bought a Swiffer mop, some cleaning wipes, and a huge can of Lysol. Upon returning to the room, I spent the next hour or so cleaning and disinfecting the room to the condition it should have been in when we arrived.
We didn’t DARE use the Jacuzzi which we paid more to have in the room. Nor did we even go in the shower barefoot. We wore our flip-​flops because the shower was gross as well, with what appeared to be mold around the drain and grout. We are not clean-​freaks by any means, but there is a level of acceptability that was just not being met at this hotel.
We were supposed to stay for an entire week, but we cut our stay short by a few days after a room opened up at another nearby hotel. The room at that hotel was MUCH nicer and definitely cleaned to a higher standard between guests.

This place was crazy! They allowed people to have a rodeo at 4am while we were trying to sleep. Yes, that’s right a real live rodeo with Cowboys, lassos, and a horse! They were partying all night, getting wasted, and being incredibly loud, and there were at least 50 – 75 people in the parking lot participating in this event. When we called the front desk they said there was nothing they could do, that security talked to them already. I guarantee if it was another hotel they would have never allowed this to happen.

Not much to look at, but when you think about it do you really care about the rooms when there is so much to do there? The waterpark was small, but I don’t think I would want it to be any bigger. I am a single mom and was able to enjoy my time in the lazy river and let my daughter and her new friends run all around to each fun thing and I could still keep a close eye on her. Food is great and cheap and the drinks are inexpensive as well. It rained one day and I was appreciative of the staff setting up fun things for the kids to do. I wish I knew about it sooner though, maybe some signs would help. I would have liked for a server to come around and check on us at the pool or waterpark, then we would not have to leave our kids or make them walk away from the fun. More tubes in the lazy river would be awesome too. Battling kids for tubes isn’t the most fun. We will be back! This was a great location, very affordable, and close to the airport.

Pleasantly surprised! Had a mosaic installation right near the hotel, so made a reservation with some trepidation. The pleasant check– in desk guy gave me a requested quiet room at the back away from the excited kids, of which there are many. The room was clean, and pleasant. It looks like the carpets and bed spreads have been newly replaced. I stay at 5 star hotels all over the world, of which this is not one. It is a solid 3 star, and great for kids.

Flamingo water park is a joke! From the time my family walked in the door the service was horrible! Took 2 hr to check into the dump– if our rooms had not been un refundable we would have left then! We had to stay 5 nights– during that time the same nasty trash was never picked up around the pools– our door locks never worked there were workers in and out of our room as they pleased no nock just walk right in! one male got a good look of me when I was getting out of the shower! We even woke up to them in our room WTF!!! As we went down to let my boy go swim there was a kid peeing from the side of the pool into the water! The restaurant was just as pathetic! Everyone there with any class had the same horrible experience! I highly recommend NEVER STAYING AT FLAMINGO WATER PARK!!!

Oh I’m in trouble. I’m next to a abandon motel, a bail bondsman with benson liquor across the street in the middle of nowhere. Room smells like a giant cheap air freshener that gives you a instant headache and doesn’t cover the pet smell. The floors and pool decks are gross with blue overspray from when they painted and sticky. Think of this as a motel 6 painted blue with 2 water slides that will impress your kids and make your skin crawl. I returned the keys got my money back and left I’m at the nick hotel resort which is awesome!!!

Garbage we thought coming here for the night could help the situation of having no water in our complex forget total waste save your money. People and everything about this hotel/​motel suck. Nasty dirty and all I heard was plastic all through the night. Really uncomfortable never coming back.

Worst hotel/​motel I have ever stayed in Orlando. My room was not service and the housekeeper reported that she did. The water had a weird not pleasant smell. The room stink. The only reason I’m giving a one is because the front desk semi assisted me with my room not being service and they gave me a 10% discount, I also told them to check in the cameras and keep an eye on that person that supposed to clean the rooms obviously that person needs to me checked upon. I mean I’m not going back anyways.

3 for the water park and 1 for the hotel. We booked a room after getting what we thought was a good price from Groupon. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, we knew there was trouble. The building is outdated with a bad paint job. The railings throughout the hotel were painted but the ground was not covered, so there is blue paint on the concrete. As you can tell by the website, the highlight is the «water park», which is 3 slides (2 are 3 stories high and the other 2 stories), a lazy river (no bigger than walking around a house) and an area for little kids. During our stay the kids area and 2 story slide were closed. As for the room:
1 Hole in door jam for bolt lock was missing making the door hard to open and close
2 ½ of the swing latch to lock the door was missing
3 Room smelled musky
4 Room was outdated and had poor repair work
5 Bathroom wall had black marks that looked like mold
6 Paint in bathroom was bubbling probably from a water leak
7 Safe did not work
8 ROACHES
Make sure you bring your own towels since the ones they give you are not full size and most are stained. If you don’t want to believe the reviews, ask yourself why the website only has pictures of the slides and nothing else. Remember, «You put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig»

Let me start off by saying I got a Groupon (or LivingSocial???) for this. So I paid a GREAT price for a weekend of fun. That said, I always believe in the cliché, «you get what you pay for.»
THAT said, for the cheap price, it was… what I paid for. For the money, it was exactly what I expected. A mediocre attempt to keep up with Orlando tourist traps.
1) Check in is at 4. I was about the 3^rd person in line because I got there around 3:30/3:45. The line grew IMMENSELY. It wrapped back to the backside of the lobby, then around the lobby. I waited for forever, even being the 3^rd person, because initially there was only 2 people behind the front desk. One of those people took maybe 30 minutes for this family of about 12. So there’s a LONG CHECK-​IN LINE.
2) Keep in mind, I was the 3^rd person in line. I go to check in, and she says that my room isn’t ready because they’re cleaning it and I’d have to WAIT. So i was instructed to wait on the bench in the middle of the lobby. WHY COULDN’T I HAVE ANOTHER ROOM? I sat there, watched maybe 4 – 6 families BEHIND me check in. Why couldn’t I get THEIR room. So I waited another 15 – 20 minutes while others behind me got to check in.
3) NOW, you have to get passes for the water area. Which is fine. They don’t want outsiders coming in for free fun. BUT, keep in mind that check-​in is at 4. Check-​out is at 11 I believe. You have to get a pass for THE DAY. Which means, if you buy a pass when you check in, you have from 4 (make that 5 because by the time you check in, it’s at least 5 by the time you get to your room and change) until the slides close (which I think is 7). So…2 hours for the pass. If you want to go the next day, it’s another pass. We only stayed one night. So we got the pass for the NEXT DAY. I think the slides open at 10. (Check out is 11.) So… we go the pass. Went on the slides right away… my husband checked us out at 11. We stayed at the slides for a couple hours but because we didn’t have a room anymore, we had to drive home wet.
4) I didn’t want to go down the slides, but to go into the AREA where the slides were to watch my kids, I still had to PAY as if I WERE riding the slides. Apparently they used to have a pass for non-​riders where I’d pay LESS… but when I went to buy one, I was told they don’t have them anymore. So I paid to ride, even though I didn’t…just so I can watch my kids. TO ME, the water park should be included with the price of the hotel…
5) The room wasn’t BAD. It was what I paid for. It was clean. Neat. But the shower was leaking and the lighting was horrible. But like I said, when you pay a cheap price for a hotel, you can’t expect much. It was okay though. Won’t complain about that.
6) The slides were okay. One slide was closed. The lazy river was super shallow and didn’t have much of a current.
7) The breakfast bar… it had a decent selection. I thought it was a little pricey for what it was… but when we didn’t have much time to get into the slide area, we decided to just eat at the hotel for convenience purposes.
8) The area around the resort is pretty sketchy. It’s old and run down. We went out looking for a place to eat, and we couldn’t tell what was closed down, what was open… selection for dinner was slim. We had to drive quite a ways til we found Outback and Chili’s.
9) Staff was decent and nice.
10) We couldn’t find our room. We weren’t directed correctly.
So…all in all… if you’re on a budget like me, this place will work… you just have to accept the mediocrity. But if you’re looking for a good time with the typical Orlando standards, this won’t cut it.

Horrible hotel. We went there for a birthday vacation and it was not worth the cost. The room was dirty, lack of towels, inattentive staff, absent management.
We asked to speak to a manager, they said she would come see the room and the issues, but she never did.
The waterslides and lazy river were not worth $ 7. It was crowded and not well supervised.
Never again. Not even for free.

We got a great deal through groupon. The woman working the front desk when we checked in was superb. Housekeeping was mediocre. The lifeguards were very friendly but not attentive. Waterpark was a nice bonus but I wouldn’t pay extra for it. The little gift shop is nice. The food is affordable. There’s a movie each night which is cool for families.
Overall I would not pay full price but the hotel was absolutely wonderful for the price we paid.
