Just got back from a 2 week stay at flamingo oasis and will leave my honest review.||We was a family of 3, 2 adults and 1 child (age 1) we also went with family who was 2 adults and 1 child (10)||Hotel room- hotel rooms are beautiful, beds are comfy, we had 2 large beds (like singles but bigger) we pushed them together, we had a travel cot and then 2 sofas/beds. We had a bath and a stand in shower. The room has a mini fridge (not stocked) a safe (42 euros for 2 weeks) a hairdryer although not powerful so if you've got thick hair take your own, the bathroom has dove body wash and shampoo. Couldn't complain if I tried at the room.||Hotel food- like all inclusive foods, they become repetitive but there's definitely something for everyone each meal, the kids section is mainly pizzas, pasta, burgers and hot dogs, they also have a hut open during the dinner time which served burgers, chips, chicken nuggets, hot dogs ect. |Snacks was ice creams and crisps.||If you was to eat out, please try the 4 kings, absolutely amazing food and really cheap, 1 chicken kebab, salad and chips and 1 large steak, chips, mushrooms and peppercorn sauce, 1 beer and 1 coke was around £30. We did try other places but found most places expensive and food wasn't nothing to rave about.||Hotel pool- the pool is really nice, its a large pool, had a walk in part and steps in other areas, they was also a baby pool with a little slide. sunbeds are not an issue you will always find a sunbed however parasols are very limited, think they was around 25/30 parasols but if you think of how many familys that stay there its not enough and when you've got children you'll need one and there really hard to get, unfortunately we was one of them family's that had to queue and run out and get one so our children had shade, if they got that issue sorted it was reduce the running for sunbeds, this first week wasn't too bad but the second week when more people arrived it was chaotic and we ended up spending more days away from round the pool due to this. ||Lifts- are an absolute nightmare at peak times.||Kids entertainment- Tui reps was always asking kids to join in, ours didn't go but I did see activities that other children was doing and it looked fun. The night entertainment was hit and miss, they did a kids mini disco for 30 minutes each night, however I highly recommend watching the greatest showman, it was amazing! ||Bar staff was ran off their feet but they was a couple of bar staff which come across rude, maybe due to not been communication barrier, but majority of them was polite.||Cleaners was nice and polite and work very hard. ||The strip... I really do advise people to avoid the strip (certain bars, please join through dark side of benidorm on Facebook to find out more but basically the bouncers just attack people causing bad injures)||There's also a LIDL across the road which is cheap, if I knew how cheap it was id of purchased alot of my toiletries across there.||All in all, it was nice but I personally wouldn't return back to benidorm but nothing to do with the hotel. Its just not my type of holiday.
