Flamingo Marina Cove 617 Oceanfront 3 BR Condo

I think the fact that the construction of the marina is in progress may have influenced the dirtiness and lack of maintenance of the place. Much to improve. They should be more honest with the amenities since they are shared with a Hotel that seems abandoned.

The location was perfect! Walking distance to everything we needed with a semi private little beach just steps away! You could easily have a relaxing quiet day or take a short walk to find restaurants, music, shopping, boating etc. I would recommend bringing a small soft cooler. The condo was very clean. Only down fall was that the coffee machine leaked a bit but that’s was all.

Need touch up paint for cabinets and doorways

We really enjoyed staying at this property. While very close to Flamingo Marina, the property was extremely quiet with no partying (even though we came during US Spring Break). The layout was great for our family of 6 (2 parents, 2 teens, 2 elementary kids). We really enjoyed swimming, kayaking (we brought an inflatable kayak with us), and snorkeling at the little beach behind the condo. We rented a car and were able to enjoy some other close beaches (Playa Flamingo, Playa Pan de Azucar) as well as do some activies (deep sea fishing, horseback riding at the Monkey Farm, attended mass in Potrero). We cooked all of our meals in the condo and found the cookware, etc to be adequate. The beds/bedding were comfortable. The provided beach towels, cooler, and boogie board were great. The 2 downstairs showers were inadequate (master doesn't have enough pressure for the shower to turn on most of the time and the guest shower doesn't get all the way hot) but the upstairs shower was hot with a lot of pressure. The dishwasher didn't really get the dishes clean so we just handwashed. The concierge was very nice and responded immediately when we had a wifi outage. We absolutely loved this location and will come back.

Highly recommended!! Ocean views amazing, property had plenty of room and space for us. Loved the private beach behind the condos.

Thank you for everything.

The unit itself was nice but there was a lot of construction going on just a few meters away from the property and our unit. The noise started at 6am 7 days a week and very dusty. Had to walk down a very dusty road to go anywhere. The water pressure in all 3 showers was almost non existent and no hot water in the showers. The walking distance to an almost private beach was great.

Everything was great. The condo was clean and had broom/cleaner to maintain cleanliness throughout the stay. Washer/dryer was a great get, too. Previous reviews did make note of the water pressure and while we had bouts of good pressure the majority of the stay did not had adequate water pressure- if the water situation got fixed I would give it a 10/10, rather than a 9.5/10. We were very pleased and look forward to going back. Pura Vida!

I will start with the positives - amazing view, nice size/layout for family of 5, and semi private beach. Things I wish were different - I will not stay here again because of the location. This was our first trip to Costa Rica and loved it and the people. The description says lots of stuff in walking distance. This is an exaggeration. I think the title may have changed since I booked but this is not your typical Marina. In fact, I don't see how it is a Marina at all. There is something being built there so there could be one in the future and there are lots of boats anchored off the beach. To get anywhere (unless you have a car), you must walk down a 200 yard dirt (mud if it has rained) road. Then you get to a very busy and skinny, winding street. There are no sidewalks there and the drivers are crazy. The private beach is very rocky so if you like to play in the surf, this isn't an ideal beach for you. Costa Rica doesn't have address' so some things are hard to find. This includes this complex. Our driver got lost getting us there from the airport as an example. There is also not any elevators. This was not an issue for us except for luggage up and down 3 flights of stairs. Being in the US, we take this for granted.

The condo was great. Would definitely recommend for your stay. Very clean space with nice bedrooms and bathrooms.

Nice location and spotless well set up apartment
