What guests think

At The Flamingo - South Padre Island, travelers describe a budget, older property in a convenient location near the beach, with some satisfactory stays but frequent issues around cleanliness, maintenance, surprise charges, and small, often crowded amenities.

Cleanliness feedback ranges from reports of clean rooms to recurring mold, roaches or bed bugs, dirty linens and hair, and unpleasant smells. Rooms are dated with noisy or weak AC and broken fixtures; spa tub rooms appeal to some, but others noted odors or couldn’t use them. While many guests found staff friendly, others faced poor check in, unexpected fees or deposits, and occasional billing problems or unresponsiveness. Expect a no frills stay where price and location outweigh hotel condition and reliability.

Room and amenities were a little underwhelming. Pool area is small. Staff was very friendly and rates were lower than other hotels within surrounding area. Overall, I’d stay again if only planning on using the room to sleep in. Not much else to do within hotel itself.

Cheap, very cheap (get what you pay for). Property is in disrepair/worn. The rooms looked clean but with minutes we saw roaches running around. Water pressure in shower was very good. Not sure I would stay here again.

We have stayed here many times & it’s great for us. Great location. Mattress a bit old but still comfortable. Good TV channels. We never use the pool or hot tub because its alway full & very small but that’s ok. We enjoy the beach. Great customer service.

This place was horrible!! The jacuzzi had a stench and was dirty hair everywhere and the stench started when the jets turned on. The carpet was nasty and sticky. The batroom door didnt close properly and the tv remote didnt work at all. The worse was the ac unit didnt cool the room and couldnt get a hold of anyone ..really bad experience

I love the flamingo! The room with this spa tub is my favorite favorite. It’s so nice to come back to my room and enjoy relaxing any big bubble bath! The only reason I did not give this property five stars across the board was because they are in the process of cleaning things up and remodeling. I’m sure it’s gonna be beautiful! It’s one of the older places in South Padre, and being a native Texan and Spending a lot of time in the valley with my grandparents who are winter Texans this place always brings me back to the best childhood memories!

We had a horrible experience, our room was so dirty, hair was everywhere bathroom and grooming area. Dead roches and our room felt so muggy / sticky. Our shower had 2 cracks on the floor so you could easily cut open your feet. Had to be careful how you stepped around. For sure we'll never stay there again, hate to say it but true.

Room smelled horrible! Then the restroom had a huge hole in the shower so had to change rooms. The next room was ok but still not good. Hairs everywhere on the bed, sink, and pillows. And to top it all off stains that looked like blood on two pillows. Do not recommend.

Room was okay but very outdated and old. The only problem I had was people coming back all hours of the night being very loud and the place felt unsafe. Definitely gives the “ my car will get broken into vibes”. Could use better locks on the doors.
