FLAMINGO RESORT
Functional, clean and pleasant hotel for a break on the wine route, with a swimming pool and a restaurant.
The Flamingo Resort is a replica of the iconic one on the Las Vegas Strip, with its neon pink flamingo spinning on a tower. It opened in 1957 and has played host to such 1960s stars as the buxom Jayne Mansfield. It's a recently renovated hotel, very contemporary, pleasant and affordable on the Wine Route. The swimming pool in the middle of the complex is huge, making it possible to frolic for hours before retiring to the spa, which offers relaxing massages. The restaurant overlooks the garden and has an outdoor terrace.

My husband and I believe the bad reviews here are from local competitors. We have both worked in high end hospitality for decades and can attest this team and hotel are 10/10! Oliver at the front desk was especially sweet!
PROS:
Very nice looking property. Despite being next to a busy arterial road, you do not hear any noise from it and the interior of the hotel gives you the feeling of an oasis escape.
The heated pool was nice - I enjoyed a morning swim each day when it was 10-15°C (50-60°F) out and did not feel too cold. The heated lamps in the lazeaway club made it a comfortable place to lounge with just a sweater/light jacket during my winter stay.
I appreciated the headboard in the room with ample charging and places to put things. Service was good while we were there, with friendly staff. I liked the toiletries in the bathroom and that I was given plenty of towels.
CONS:
Walls were thin between bedrooms. I was fine with my earplugs in, but lots of random noises without them. Lots of light coming into the room under the door (I was able to block it with a towel). Various other random lights in room from phone and something on the ceiling. The sink had a chunk missing from the porcelain, although it did appear otherwise clean.
I was pretty happy here and wanted to give 5 stars, but ultimately needed to deduct one for the room issues
We are still country people with country values and I hope that we can hang on to those values!
