We stayed here last minute as we got into town a day early and they had availability for one night. The property is dated but was clean and the front desk attendant was great. It was right on the main drag and a convenient walk to restaurants and shopping.

Dirty / Sticky / Hairy

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.

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!
