Flamingo Bay Hotel & Marina

The only positive was the staff (the cleaning crew) were hard working and nice.

All doors were locked, the hotel was dark and nobody was working to check us in upon our arrival. Do not arrive Monday-Wednesday as the hotel is only open for one hour to check in. Our taxi driver had to find a neighborhood security guard who made some calls to get us in. No drinking water is available on the property even for purchase. No stores nearby. All ice machines on the property are broken and actually pulled apart. There is a kitchenette with no utensils and a coffee machine with no coffee. We were required to pay 100% in advance but once they had our money there was no service whatsoever.

Do NOT let Priceline or other websites trick you. The pictures you see are of another resort next door that shares the pool, beach and water taxi with Flamingo Bay Hotel & Marina at Taino Beach. Flamingo Bay Hotel is equivalent to an old Motel 6 with very poor customer service, no working ice machines, Wi-Fi is only available in the front office. Peeling paint and weak window units for AC.

The hotels are moldy and has roaches.

I have stayed in a hotel like this in my entire adult life.This place was a dump, out dated ice machine that didn’t work rusted A/C vent on the outside of the room windows, no Wi-Fi in the room peeled painting on the outside floor and stairway. Only one place to dine on the beach and it closes at 5:00 P.M. everyday. I stayed for two nights and then left for a better place

Desayuno al frente bien

Home to the world’s largest breeding colony of West Indian flamingos. You’ll see tens of thousands of birds in their natural habitat, often near Lake Rosa.

Great stay would recommend

Nice place to enjoy...

Hotel need a lot of work. The bathroom was not up to par toilet was flushing for a good 2 to 3 mins. I thought it was going to over flow. I ended up leaving and booked at a different location. I will never go here again.

Vaery basic but clean. Nice pool close to very beautiful beach and ferry to straw market

The shower was in very poor state with its faucet. The shelves were about to fall, and the door knob didnt seem to work correctly. The pillows were terrible also. But it was clean and bug free, with a good working air conditioner.

Ok

Room was shown as stated but there were no towels or pillow cases on pillows upon arrival. Staff corrected this upon my request.

While on booked with you guy I didn’t know that only four was allowed to stay in a double bed room so I was told that I needed to rent a additional room on my aspens 😡and it was two adult and three kids that was on my stay

We love staying at Flamingo Bay. The people are friendly and the Units are clean. It is definitely a "no frills" experience but you have access to the lazy river, "grotto Bar" and a nice restaurant on the beach. We will visit again.

Excellent with amazing staff. 13/10

Nothing was unique about this place. The place is poorly kept. From microwave to toaster rusty and filthy. Ice machines never worked. Had to climb three flights of stairs with luggage.

From we arrived the front desk host was pleasant and was very knowledgeable about the island. The pool was amazing and the bartender at the swim up bar (Alfy) was awesome. He made us feel right at home. This place exceeded all my expectations I will be back.

Awful place, poorly managed , not friendly staff, dirty, unsanitary . We came for 3 nights/4 days , and immediately realised it’s not gonna be fun vacation. From the nasty bed and furniture , fallen apart unsanitary bathroom, pot smoking in the rooms, overpriced mediocre food and drinks, murky pool water, broken chaise lounges on the shore full of seaweeds. It was a first and definitely will be last time we went to Bahamas. Looks like the hotel owner, the staff and the people don’t really care about their visitors. Stay away! This is my best advice

Resort was nice. Location was nice. Hotel was trash. Power went out multiple times throughout the week. The hotel staff has very irregular times trying to clean our room. Either waking us up in the morning pounding on the door or not cleaning at all. The resort pool was really awesome and we spent most our time there. The beach was very nice as well. The hotel was right next to the Port Lucayan ferry which was super convenient!

love the pool.

Love the room. Access to the hotel was a big plus. The food at the restaurant was far above my expectations.

Quiet but at the ocean and a wonderful pool/bar

Great place! Great staff.. beautiful beach fun pool for kids! Swim up bar! Awesome week, good price

Power turned off at a certain point late into the night and didnt turn back on til around 5 or 6. We also had the cleaning crew knocking on our doors at around 9:20. Checkout it supposedly at 10 and we didnt ask for a wakeup call either. It would be great if they could give their staff a list of what rooms have been checked out.

This property is HORRIBLE!! Front desk staff is rude as ever!! I walked in the lobby and it smelled like molded wood that they tried to cover up with air fresheners. There isn’t any WiFi that can reach your room only downstairs at the lobby which might explain why they’re always in their phones. I came for a quick stay and the lady that claimed she needed to speak with me only kept complaining I couldn’t booked an excursion because I didn’t have time! IT MY TRIP! I had numerous issues with the staff. They claimed my room was ready came in no towels or anything. They have no iron boards, blow dryers dressers nothing in the room. Waited 1 1/2hr for towel and a wash cloth to take a shower. Walked around the corner the back to find the housekeeping on her phone talking and laughing and when I asked for one she rudely said “I’ll be right there” and still took 20mins! In the morning at 8am I get woke up by a loud knock and her hollering housekeeping and when I said “Not right now” she still opened it with her keys and came in my room. Toilet got backed up after one single use, so I went to get a plunger from the front desk that night. In the am 8:30-9 I’m laying in bed after a shower and I hear one single loud knock and then a man opens my door claiming to be a Plumber and can clearly see me in a towel and continues to have a conversation on if I still need help with plumbing!!!I’ll never come here again, it was a horrible experience and I felt unsafe and definitely not comfortable

Love it can wait to get back

Didn’t like that there was no wifi in my room as I was too far away from the wifi from the lobby. Liked that I was close to the beach and that there was a restaurant.

The staff and the pool area (most unique cave bar with fantastic drinks, and Alfi was awesome!) and lazy river and water slide (even fun for adults:) and the beach with natural palm umbrellas for shade, ALL AMAZING!! One of the best resorts I have been at for a reasonable price. The rooms were perfectly fine for me tho some may want to see some minor cosmetic updates. But I LOVED IT HERE!

The hotel section of the property was in desperate need of renovations. Reminded me of a "No tell, hotel"

Location is excellent. Full access to Taino Resort is great. Free ferry to Lucaya is great. Room was adequate - beds comfy, housekeeping a little lacks, knew to bring my own iron however surprised no hair dryer ( one supplied once ask for). Check in and out was easy.

Feb 2025 At the Flamingo Bay Hotel We stayed on the Marina side second floor and Enjoyed the boat that takes you to Port Lucaya Marketplace every hour that is driven by the Green Family, Great perk to be able to take a boat trip anytime you want for a Tip And they will play music. Best Beach Taino Beach also Best pool on the Island right across the street. Entertainment with Steven is Wonderful Music, dance party and pool games ! We Had the Very Best Housekeeper Brice I wanted to take her Home with us ! and Make sure to call Fabian Laing for Taxi and Tours 242-559-7615 thank you all for the Great Stay The Boerman Family

Nice a quite, laid back. I like the option of t he ferry over to lucayan area. Enjoyed my stay overall

The amenities

The amenities

It appears they are not quite recovered from the hurricane of 2019. Plumbing pulling from the shower, peeling paint, not quite clean in the floor corners and wood work. No pictures on the walls, no bedspreads and air conditioning needs replacement.

Poor experience ! Absolutely overpriced. No WiFi in guest rooms, only if your room is in the basement. Old and shabby rooms with run-down furniture. Room service was forgotten and one time the coffee for the coffee maker was not provided. I would suggest to take an Airbnb in the near surrounding ( Obera beach, bell channel bay). Avoid this hotel ! Staff was absolutely unfriendly !

Everything was amazing

All of the amenities

There was not wifi in the room you had to go to the lobby.

The amenities were nice! But the rooms at Flamingo Bay are outdated, pretty simple… they need to do some urgent remodeling there.

The hotel location was great the amenities were very good. The front desk had me try two seperate keys and had to call maintenance. The room maintenance not so good. The grab bar in the showe was loose and came outseveral times. The whole water knoband spot moved when turned on, the drai was cloggedwith hair from previous guests, and the kitchenette light did not work. Theroom was cozy and looking over the mari a was great.the staff extremely friendly. I The hotel could use an upgrade but still very nice

Very convenient for my stay.

Can’t wait to go back.

Liked the property. Door lock was a task to figure out, no food or drink available after a certain time cause front desk closes. However, the staff was super friendly and accommodating. Clean facilities, good price. Shout out to the security Terry! He saved the day!

Great Location across the bay from Lucayan Market. (they have a ferry to shuttle across). Rooms are rather sparse (could use a towel bar in bathroom and a desk lamp) Great staff throughout the properties. Really liked the pool and the occasional shuttle to the grocery store.

Great staff

Enjoyable place to stay

Extremely outdated, beds are atrocious some of the staff just don't care and some do. If you come by boat and rent a slip it's nice but by land is nit worth the money. I understand Hurricanes have come through but at least try to rebuild what you have to make it a worthy experience. Place has much potential but needs better management and grounds keepers.

It's near a nice beach

Our stay was great.

The location was excellent, including a free ferry into Lucaya Marketplace. The hotel was associated with Taino Beach Club that included use of it's huge pool and beach within walking distance. The staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities were a bit old, but the bed was comfortable.

The staff was very kind

Building extremely dated, boiler did not work - very bad reception (wifi).

The Marina view was awesome. The staff were nice

Everything

Good

The beds feel like springs, the refrigerator was broken and they close everything early. The bar closes at 4:30 pm- no one is even drinking at 4:30. The restaurant closes at 6 and you have to either take a ferry (which closes early if there’s no cruise ships) or take a 35 dollar cab which only accepts cash. DO NOT COME HERE!!!! The hotel is very unaccomodating Unfair to guests.

Thumbs up

Great staff , friendly and would highly recommend ..

The ppol and pool bar was awesome, staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were subpar, old and musty, hard mattresses and in dire need of an upgrade.

Time well spent

Was nice enough

The stay was wonderful, beautiful scenery, overall a very comfortable and relaxing stay.

Loved the pool features 👌

It was alright

Simple room, Great pool, close to the beach, friendly staff. Washer/dryer available. Beautiful place.

Location

My whole entire stay was wonderful, the pool and beach areas is beautiful and relaxing, my room was very clean, the front desk workers were very nice and helpful, the ferry to lucaya market is also wonderful for views… the only thing i disliked was that my room was on the third floor and there is no elevator.

Good

The hotel staff including Terrance (dock master) and the bartenders at the Grotto bar were very friendly and very helpful. The water taxi makes visiting nearby restaurants very convenient. The rooms are clean and comfortable.

Staff is amazing, polite and professional. If there are any questions or problems they will go out of thier way to accommodate you

Very friendly and welcoming staff

I really liked the relaxing hot tub, the pool bar and the water slide. It was very fun and the room was very comfortable and relaxing. My fiancé and I enjoyed every ounce of it! Will definitely recommend!

I didn’t like that the a/c was not cooling much. It was decent but not what I expected. Also, allowing housekeeping to enter my room while i’m not there is a no no.

Fantastic hotel highly recommend the hotel even had a free Taxi the main area and back brilliant trip

No wifi in the rooms only in lobby rude worker's one of the workers was racist bathroom had no shower curtain bathroom door was broken and moldy power was off .I told this to front desk and all they did was say sorry I wanted at least some kind of reimbursement for all the inconveniences and they said they couldn't do that

Nice

Cannot beat the location and the full access to resort/beach across the street. Transportation to Port Lucaya by way of water taxi/ferry is great! Room is very basic. Must request hair dryer, iron and more towels. For the price a good place to stay.

Beach is just a short walk across the street.

The property is ok, the property that you get access to across the street is pretty amazing. The beach is one of the best on the island. Big mama is a trip.

The property is grossly out dated and needs renovations

WiFi availability is limited, depending where your room is located.

The staff was amazing the ladies at the checkin the grounds men and the house keeping staff were all helpful and friendly my go to everytime im in freeport my son loves the pool across the street so its always a great time

The staff are very friendly and professional. Its a beautiful place to relax and enjoy.

A good budget hotel with great amenities. Very nice pool, lovely beach, and quick boat ride to a nice shopping and dining area included in the stay

Thumbs up

nothing

The property which is like a US motel was adequate, safety was good. The hotel is attached to a sister property Taino Beach Resort which is timeshare affiliated. The restaurant, pool, spa services, recreation and beach are across the easy to cross road. The room had a bonus area with an equipped kitchenette, which was useful for fridge, morning tea, and warming any leftovers. The back side of the property had a view of Marina. The staff at front desk, security, property maintenance, restaurant was all pleasant and helpful. Ferry from rear of the Flamingo into Port Lucaya at a collection of local shops, restaurants and bars is a quick 7-minute ride.

I love this place . The best in the Island

This hotel is across the street of the Taino beach and club resort. It is a 3 story hotel. It looks good from the outside but…the rooms are VERY outdated. The walls are so thin that you can hear your neighbours talking!! No elevator. The hotel has 3 ice machines, one per floor, but the only one that works is on the third floor…The rooms have a small bar like kitchen. We had one plate, one coffee cup and 4 knives…it has a microwave, a very small coffee pot but we asked for coffee packets and they were very hard to get! We were told to go to the reception across the street (Taino resort) where they have complimentary coffee in the morning…The fridge was ok. Small bar like fridge! There was no hairdryer in the bathroom and I had to ask several times to get one. I finally did after 3 days! The bed was very comfortable! When we arrived, the tv remote didn’t work so I called the front desk several times and they finally gave us a new remote the same night. Our room was facing the marina so the view was pretty. Lastly, the room’s doors (front and the communicated door, had a large space between the door and the floor so we had to put towels to prevent critters from coming in!! Will never go back!!

Adequate

I loved it here and will be returning in April! Big mama and the staff were all amazing

None of the bedrooms come with a Wi-Fi connection. We were told that for wifi guests have to come to the lobby or the common areas. Also, you have to request an iron at the front desk.
