Fodor's Expert Review Flamingo Beach Resort

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

This three-story resort has a prime location overlooking beautiful Flamingo Beach, along with a huge swimming pool and every water sport that kids of any age could want. Though few of its rooms have ocean views, they are all mere steps away from the sand and surf. It's very family-friendly, thanks to its beach-accessible location and a shaded kids' pool that is close enough to the swim-up bar that you can have an adult beverage while you watch the kids. The centerpiece swimming pool has 25-meter lap lanes, a rarity in these parts. There's a dive shop on-site as well as water-sports equipment, and there's a large game room and movie theater for kids. Rooms are standard size, with high ceilings, private balconies or terraces, and flat-screen TVs, microwaves, and coffeemakers. Get a pool view, preferably on the second or third floor; those with higher numbers have ocean views. The restaurants run the gamut from family-friendly to sophisticated, like the breezy upstairs Sunset Lounge above the main restaurant where you can order tapas and relax with a view of sand and sea. Other good restaurants are also within walking distance or a quick shuttle trip away.
