3-star hotel
Guest rating: 3.1 / 5
Overview
The Flamingo Hollywood Beach Hotels is a casual, budget-friendly apartment-style hotel spread across three adjoining sites in Hollywood, Florida, just a 2-minute walk from Hollywood Beach and the Atlantic Ocean. Rated 3 stars with a 3.1 average from 154 reviews, it appeals to travelers who prioritize a beachfront address over polished amenities. Check-in and check-out are handled at a separate central location rather than at each individual building.
Rooms & Units
Casual studios come with kitchens, dining areas, flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi and in-room safes, making them suited to self-catering stays. Upgraded studios add sitting areas and sofabeds with private balconies or patios, while 1-bedroom apartments include a separate living room for guests wanting more space. Guests should be aware that some reviewers have reported worn furnishings, maintenance issues, and cleanliness concerns in certain units.
Amenities & Services
On-site facilities include three outdoor pools, loaner bikes, and BBQ equipment for casual outdoor use, plus a 24-hour convenience store for essentials at any hour. Guest laundry facilities and parking are available on-site, though parking reportedly carries an additional daily fee. There is no on-site restaurant noted, consistent with the self-catering, apartment-style format.
Location & Surroundings
The hotel sits roughly a 7-minute walk from the shops and restaurants of the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk and about 1.5km from the Anne Kolb Nature Center. It is around 6 miles from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, and within a 10-15km radius of attractions such as the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Bonnet House Museum & Gardens, and the Museum of Discovery and Science in Fort Lauderdale. Gulfstream Park Racing and Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park are both roughly 5.5km away.
Best for
This hotel best suits budget-conscious beachgoers and short-stay travelers, such as those bridging a cruise departure, who value being steps from the sand over upscale finishes. Self-catering families or small groups may appreciate the in-room kitchens, multiple pools, and loaner bikes for exploring the nearby Broadwalk and Anne Kolb Nature Center.
Travel tips
Plan extra time for check-in and check-out, as these are processed at a separate central location several streets away from the actual room buildings, and lines have been reported to take up to 30-45 minutes. Budget for a daily parking fee (reported around $18-20/night) in addition to the room rate. The beach, Broadwalk shops and restaurants, and Anne Kolb Nature Center are all within easy walking distance, so a car isn't strictly necessary for short local outings.
What guests say
Guest feedback is mixed, centering on a strong location just steps from Hollywood Beach and generally friendly, helpful staff, along with comfortable beds and affordable prices as recurring positives. Recurring complaints include worn or damaged furnishings, mildew or mold odors, cleanliness issues in less-obvious areas like light switches and bathroom ceilings, and unreliable door locks. Several reviewers also flagged frustration with the offsite check-in/check-out process and long wait times, plus an added daily parking fee (cited around $18-20) that some felt was excessive for the room quality.
