Sonesta Hotel The South hotels

"Front desk staff is rude! My mistake was giving them another chance. Upon my second stay i requested to cancel my room and I went nexr door. Then I received an email asking how my check-in was - I canceled it with no refund. Thieves are who and what they are. Save your money and go to Rodeway Inn next door. They even offer free breakfast."

"elevators are terrible. put a strain on our vacation having to wait 20 min each time or take 20 flights of stairs. must be fixed. likely why we won't go back. "

"Very nice hotel and clean. "

"The activities were à la carte and you had to pay per hour as well as parking fees "

"BED BUGS!!!!! Run!!!!! They refuse to give me a refund also! Absolutely horrible property. "

"Todos muy bien limpios "

"The pools and water park is nice for kids. "

"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! :)"
