About Flamingo Residence

The Flamingo residence is a modern high-rise apart-hotel offering comfortable accommodation about 1.5 miles from Portimâo’s Old Town.

Both studio’s and one bedroom apartments are available. Both feature fully equipped kitchenettes, air conditioning with in-room control and flat screen TV’s. They also have private balconies, with sea views from the top floors.

There is a sparkling pool, set in large gardens with sun beds and a pool bar, where drinks and snacks can be purchased. Wi-Fi is available in the lobby area.

There is self catering, and of course the Pool Bar for snacks, but for outside meals there are some dining options in the neighbourhood,. Reception staff will be happy to offer recommendations.

There are shops and supermarkets just minutes walk away. The Old Town is about 1.5 miles, while the beautiful Castelos Beach, with its dramatic cliffs, is just a mile to the south.

Positive Reviews

Shopping mall nearby for supplies

The apartments have kitchenettes, and it seems many guest do indeed make use of them to prepare their own meals. They were happy that there was a shopping mall nearby where they could get any supplies they needed, and much more besides.

Free parking

Many guests were impressed with the free parking offered, perhaps because this wasn't really advertised on their website. But whatever the reason, they loved not having to search for street parking every time they returned.

Good value for money

Though the apartment was some distance from both the beach and Old Town, after considering what room-rate they paid most guests believed they received good value - certainly better than they would have received for a beachfront hotel.

Negative Reviews

Wi-Fi a bit spotty

Even when working, Wi-Fi was only accessible in the lobby, not in any of the rooms. While guests did not like having no in-room Wi-Fi, they went on to say that even the lobby Wi-Fi would be out for very long stretches at a time.

A bit far to the beach

While guests did typically know this when making the booking, once they arrived many seemed to find the distance to the beach more of a hassle than they anticipated. It is described as a 25-minute walk

Problems with check-in

Several guests seemed to have had a poor check-in experience. Reception opening hours were limited, but even within these times some guests found the doors locked and no staff available to check them in.
