Apartments in Boca Chica Key

"Clean, friendly, excellent service"

"The Blue Flamingo is a great hotel. It has a boutique feel with a nice vibe and energy. The drinks are a little bit overpriced, so happy hour is a MUST. $10 frozen drinks (Pina Colada, Daiquiris) for happy hour (compared to $16 each non happy hour price). The drinks are delicious and are served very cold in plastic cups. They have a nice amount of rum to give them a little ‘kick’. The beer selection is mostly domestic, $7 cans regular price, $5 during happy hour. The Blue Flamingo had 2 pools to choose from with 2 more at ‘sister’ properties. They play nice, clear, fun music and have very clean restrooms and facilities. Lime most resorts, you have to get up early to get a pool lounger to sit on, and the hotel was frequently out of pool towels. Small inconvenience, however. The hotel is not on or near a beach, so I highly recommend renting a golf cart from the resort and use that for trips to different beaches, Duval St. etc. Definitely get more of the Florida Keys vibe from the open air of a golf cart. Smathers beach and Fort Zachary Taylor State Park. They are not far from the resort. I would also recommend using Lyft or Uber when in the Keys, they are way less money than taxi cabs. Blue Flamingo has a complimentary shuttle, every hour, to take you to Duvall St. for shops, restaurants, and night life. Most B.F. servers were pleasant/professional, but one was kinda grumpy and seemed like we were a bother for requesting something. Front desk/maid service are very attentive! :)"

"We did not end up staying at this property. On the last day before our arrival, we were informed that we would be moved to a different hotel due to maintenance issues. This was very inconvenient, especially with such short notice. Would have appreciated earlier communication."

"great staff, great location, great property"

"I felt like I was charged for valet that I had no choice but to use, the shuttle that is referred to has limited seating so if you use their shuttle you may get left if there is not a return seat for you and it only runs every 2 hours , one pool was shut the entire time I was there. Our room was still being cleaned and we did not arrive until after 5pm. "

"Loved the hotel. Room bright and fresh. Liked the pool area and the games provided. Watching the boats come into the marina each day was fun too. The restaurant was perfect for lunch. Great service all around. The shuttle works very well. One blip when it left early and we had to wait an hour for the next one. "

"Room smelled like bleach and was pretty clean and simple. Comfortable bed. It was not a very private location and the cleaning staff decided the best place for gossip/staff meeting was 2 feet behind our car as we tried to pack up and they didn’t move at all. Could hear all the neighbors. "

"We had to change room because the bottom of the shower was cracked and leaking in the bathroom. The second room had mold in the shower. The floors had not been washed for a while. It looks more like a motel. The breakfast was very good and luckily it was included in our price otherwise it would have cost 18$US per person. The shuttle is a nice way to get downtown and is included in the 25$US resort fee. Parking is not free (around 16$US per day)"
