Hi everyone,

I am looking to travel to Torremolinos for 6 days in June and I would like to make reservations at the Hotel Flamingo (this link takes you to the main site, once there you can find the Flamingo Hotel link at the bottom of the page).

I have stayed at this hotel before and it is very nice. However, despite repeated attemps to make reservations, I have had no luck. The reservation form on their website is extremely outdated (the booking dates are 5 years old! Eeker ). I tried using other booking sites such as FASTnet and Go Costa del Sol. I am planning on staying there from June 23 through June 28. When I select these dates it says there are no available rooms. Could they have all filled up? Or is it an error - because on every other hotel search in Torremolinos for those dates came up saying that there were no available rooms.

Has anyone stayed at the Flamingo Hotel before? I was thinking of calling them, but my fear that they won't speak English keeps me from doing it Frowner .

Or does anyone know of any good hotels in this area that I could stay at?

Thanks
Ben

Hey Ben, sorry buddy, Torremolinos is not my cup-o-tea Eeker

Way to touristy and void of any redeeming cultural value.

Saludos,

Jer,

I agree with you most of the time, but I must say, I cannot this time Smiler Torremolinos is one of the greatest places to visit - the beaches, the awesome nightlife, the great ocean views, c'mon, how could you not like it Eeker

Maybe there is something I am missing, and I'm going on a rant for no reason, but I'm really reconsidering my trip now that no one has seemed to like the place at all.

It'll probably be better for my liver anyway Big Grin
