Nice place

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I had a great time here! The staff was great and very friendly! Whenever I needed something, they were there for me. I had a king-size room, on the top floor overlooking the bay, which was nice. They could upgrade some parts of the hotel as some rooms were not as nice as mine, but overall, worth the price. Everything is conveniently located. Cabs […] can be expensive so next time, I will rent a car. I did learn to drive on the left side and it wasn't so bad. Just have to be careful. Read more

We really enjoyed our stay the staff was very helpful and friendly, from the front desk clerk to the housekeeping staff, and the gift shop staff. Our room was cleaned daily and we had fresh towels daily, the hotel is an older hotel but newly painted and well kept. the king bed was very confortable. The ferry boat to the marketplace was a great way to […] get back and forth and see the town. Taino by the sea had a wonderful breakfast buffett every morning overlooking the beach and wonderful food at night as well. The beach was beautiful with reclining chairs and tiki huts all along the beach. Also the bonfire at night was a great addition. The pool was wonderful with the slide and the cave swim up pool bar. I would reccommend this hotel to everyone. The cave tour and gold rock beach was also very enjoyable. We are already planning to come back next year. Read more

You aren't going to find a true 5 star hotel anywhere on the island. This hotel offers the best bang for the buck. The staff is awesome, great amenities, quiet and secure. Loved it.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The room appeared quite clean but the bathroom had hairs scattered around the room from previous patron. Otherwise the room was satisfactory but a bit overpriced.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The concierge was very pleasant! The hotel is in good condition with a nice private feel. Overall it was a good experience staying here for one night considering the cost of living here. I enjoyed it and would recommend to those seeking a place to just spend the night and mostly busy during the day.

Under construction, some noise, pool not working yet, restaurant food ok. Short walk to 'fish fry' where u can buy local food average $12 plate. Older building but clean. Felt safe in hotel & area, but did not venturing out at night. Internet in lobby, weak signal in room at best. I would stay there again.

The Flamingo Bay Hotel & Marina at Taino Beach is a cut-rate hotel that is only worth the low rate advertised. The online website depicts a much more upscale hotel than it is. Although basically clean, the rooms are rather old and, in some cases, initially missing the basic necessities (i.e., lamps, phone, towels). The hotel employees, though, are most […] pleasant and eager to help. In fact, after expressing my displeasure a few times, they went out of their way to move me across the street, to the Time Share facility owned by the same company. The location was good, as was the on-site restaurant, Taino By The Sea. The hotel, itself, has no amenities; but guests have access, although somewhat inconvenient, to the Time Share pool and beach.

Very unfriendly staff; it's all about selling time share, if you don't buy, they will let you feel it. Breakfast buffet was disgusting. Location however is nice, rooms are simple, but okay

Very relaxing, quiet location, great rooms with self-catering options backing on to a beautiful marina. Access to all resort facilities and walking distance to restaurants, fish fry and different beaches. Highly recommended. On site restaurant decent.

Housekeeping staff worked only when they wanted. I had to request services almost daily.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was very nice to see everything they had to offer. We went there not knowing what we were in for and all of the offerings were way beyond a simple hotel room. Resturant, Bar, beach ferry to Lacaya and very friendly and helpful people. Dale

Very friendly and helpful staff, superb location, loved the resort pool and beach. Really enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the Marketplace in Port Lucaya. The water taxi to Port Lucaya is great. Our whole family of seasoned world travelers were quite impressed.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Other than the ability to access the beach, pool and restaurant belonging to the timeshare/rentals in the adjoining facilities, give this place a pass--no bedside lighting, no working TV, plumbing was decrepit, doors were warped, refrigerator did not have a freezer.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Overall, the hotel met all my needs. I purposefully booked a discounted hotel. Purpose of travel was only to visit family and friends, so little time was spent at the hotel. However, I previously read mixed reviews about the front desk. In my case the front associate was able to check me in to our room early, and was relatively friendly. I do consider […] service an important part of your stay, since my decision of future booking often relies on the quality of the hotel and the service of the staff. Read more

there is a problem with real estate people trying to take you on tour when you check in any trip to basic market will involve travel by boat that is one hour time interval

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

There were many nice things about this hotel including being very close to a beautiful beach and a lovely restaurant, but the room had some glaring issues including an old TV that did not work properly (also no remote), a shower that did not work at all (with not even a stopper so that one could at least bathe), a running, noisy toilet, and very noisy […] ventilation fans in the small bathroom and kitchenette. We were given no sanitized glasses or cups or liner for the ice bucket. Also the ice maker nearest the room did not work. Considering what we paid for this room, we were very disappointed that the general quality was not better. Read more

Beds are clean and comforable, building is kind of old, but in fair conditions, internet services could be upgraded, there is wi-fi in lobby area only, is very convenient to be able to use the Taino Resort facilities, pool, restaurant, beach and bar are excellent. The Marina is not in very good conditions, but the location is very convenient, close […] to inlet, market place, gas. It is not the best, but the price, location and resort facilities are a plus, I wil continue to go, as long as they let you use the resort facilities. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

We had a great time here in Freeport. I arrived with my girlfriend and the airconditioner was weak. We said something to the folks at the front desk and went to hang out on the beach. When we got back to the room they had replaced the old airconditioner with a new one. The one they gave us worked great. Then we noticed that we were missing a phone and […] they put one in quickly. We booked a reef fishing trip but they were unable to comply because not enough people signed up. They refunded our money for the trip with no hastle. The ferry to port Lacaya leaves every hour on the hour until 11:00PM after which you can take a cab for around 10 bucks.The pool was big and had a water slide that was really fun. The swim up bar was cool. They had drink specials each night. The beaches were nice. The way I describe this place is to say this is basically Nassau without the hype. In Nassau food is twice as expensive. We had a great trip and did most of the activities except the bananna boat thing. There was a glass bottom boat, snorkeling, sea doo, and the normal activities. Very nice place. Read more

me and my girlfriend stayed there for two days one night and loved it. it was so calm and quiet.

We were greeted by a very personable staff.The time share people were not that intrusive.This hotel shares facilities with a very nice timeshare/condo complex.Therefore you have the use of a fabulous pool with a section over 50m with lanes for lap swimming;there is also a great beach;all within 200m.The room included a small kitchenette that was not […] cleaned by maid service;the aircondioning could have been stronger.We did not eat on location ,but there were many good reasonably priced restaurants .The food has gotten better on Grand Bahama Island Read more

Missed a scheduled tour because there was no hot water the morning of. Missed a ferry because housekeeping neglected to leave bath towels. There were no beach towels available for 2 days. The restaurant at Taino beach was excellent. The condition of the beach area was excellent.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It scared me because this hotel was so cheap, but everything in hotels.com as far as description, price, amenities, etc., was correct. The rooms were clean and the staff was helpful. The ferry to the Marketplace was literally steps from the hotel. There was a time share salesperson, but all you have to do is say "no, thank you!" But they did give us […] tickets to our choice of attractions (I highly recommend the catamaran saling boat/snorkling adventure!) The location to the beach and pool was great. We had a harbor view from our room. I give this 2 star hotel an overall solid '4' rating. I would stay again. Read more

We were most pleased with our Flamingo Bay experience. First, the price was exceptional for what was offered. Location is decent...a five minute water taxi ride takes you to the Lucaya market and reasonably priced also. Desk staff were superb. Collette was wonderful, and Adrienne did a great job orienting us to the entire place. I noticed a couple […] of reviews rated their room low. Ours was very clean, comfy and quiet. No complaints. The hotel is across the street from the beach but no matter. This is a resort and it includes all the amenities one might expect. Restaurant that offers a setting right on the beach..this was the up-side. Perhaps it's just us, but we were not super impressed favorably with any of the meals we had in Freeport anywhere. It was OK, the restaurant included...But it was made up for with other features. The resort was begun in the seventies and is well maintained. Sports facilities include ping pong, volley ball, shuffleboard, and an impressive array of other attractions. Glass bottomed boat, snorkeling boat, jet skis, para-sailing. One of the most singular features is the massive pool, largest on the island. Clever sunken bar, beautiful landscape...very nice. When we make it back to Freeport, we know where to stay. Read more

the stay overall was nice. the staff especially Collette was very helpful. they tried to trick us into a time share presentation. they call it an orentation to the hotel, with free breakfast. we made our position pretty clear and the sales person Elvis understood our position. the time share people seemed to catch an tude with us and started to act […] very cold. but who cares.

It was our last night on the island after being at a timeshare for the week. It was affordable and the staff was very nice. You have access to a fabulous beach, restaurant, pool with swim up bar and an awesome slide, tennis court which they will supply you with raquets/balls, and a water taxis to the popular Port Lukaya Marketplace. The room however, […] although clean, was very run down. This motel is owned by the timeshare adjacent to it. They really need to put some money into new beds and bedcovers. I am sure that travelers would rather pay a couple of bucks than sleep in a run down hotel. Service, amenities and food we rate a 5, condition of hotel room we rate a 2. Read more

Flamingo Bay is a great, value resort that is a 5 minute ferry ride from Port Lucaya (the central place with all the restaurants and things to do). I loved the Taino Beach more than other beaches since it was much less populated, cleaner, and more peaceful. The restaurant choices on the Taino Beach are to be desired, but they are reasonably priced. […] Whatever you do, DO NOT do the Sunday Beach Bonfire "Buffet" which is overpriced and not at all worth it. It was not a buffet, but merely "Eat until we run out." do not rent their bicycles either as they are old, running on flat tires, and just are not properly taken care of. Do not rent their scooters either. Rent them from the guy in the Port Lucaya parking lot (better price, faster, cooler looking). Overall, they kept the place very clean, I was satisfied with their housekeeping, and it was very easy to fall asleep. We paid less than $40 a night so there's no way we would pay 3x for something in Port Lucaya only to be annoyed by drunken high school kids. Read more

The best part of the hotel was its location relative to the beach. It was virtually uninhabited by travelers with the most gorgeous ocean and beach. The location itself made the hotel worth it. Although it was across the water from the sights of Freeport the ferry was right outside the hotel and easily accessible. We had to pay 5 dollars round trip […] each time we wanted to use the ferry to get across to the other side. The hotel staff was nice. The hotel was a little old but I didn't experience any issues with cleanliness. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

When I read some previous reviews I was a bit wary but since I've returned I must tell of my experience. ANYONE who has written with complaints were either before the current management upgrade or from people who have no idea what a great deal this hotel is. Yes, the Flamingo is an older place. And yes, if you are looking for 4 and 5 star luxury you […] will be disappointed here. But having spent 3 nights there I can say that I can't wait to find the time to return. My room was fine, 2 nice queen beds, great A/C, a little kitchenette, good TV and the bathroom and towels were fine. My one complaint was that the tiled floor tended to collect the beach sand that I tracked in but who's fault was that? Across the street is the fabulous Ritz, which IS 4 star, with a beautiful "stream" pool and grotto bar. The outstanding beach was steps away. The only restaurant was nice, if pretty generic in it's menu. The staff were friendly and helpful. When staying at the Flamingo you receive a wrist band that allows you full use of all the Ritz facilities and luxurities. THAT was sweet! Behind the Flamingo is the ferry stop that takes you to Port Lucaya Marketplace with all it's shops, restaurants, pubs, and the casino. Five bucks aound trip every hour until 11 pm is a great deal too. If you want to getaway and experience the sun, sand, and fun of the Bahamas, and you want to do it without breaking into your IRA, THIS is the right place to stay! Read more

I really did not know what to expect when I reserved this low cost hotel. But it was clean neat. a bit dated. it shared amenities with the resort across the street which offered a hugh pool and beach . voerall , it was much better than I expected.

LOcation to the beach and resort facilities was great. However the business suite was only a business suite in name! lol two outdated shivering scared desktops limited to a 30 minute timed session but with limited broadband and real slow computers I pretty much did most of what i needs n my apple device. Kept getting Bitten by whatever was active in […] the mattress! Quite dissappointing! changed rooms, but still not resolved! in the second room the mattress was softer also, so ended up having back pains all week for the remainder of my stay! pretty lame! Wifi is only present in the lobby! If you are lucky topick murmer which cobstantly cuts out. Apparently it was in the process of upgrading it! but I would call and ask as I need about 6 hours access a day and i was struggling to get a few hours alone! There is only one restaurant on site where the food quality left much to be desired but the prices were very comparable to central london well established venues where the quality is assured! I found the food menu woeful to say the least! being an island! the choice of seafood was scant! the quality od the meats was poor also. however the local Grouper fish is quite tasty. Read more

I found the people very comforting and helpful. They were more than willing to provide any information to all guests. The room was suited for two people with easy access to the beach. The resturant was also close by.
