My wife and I just spent the month of Nov 2018 at Kathy and Carlos condo. The hosts were wonderful and responded to any requests that we had. The condo was nice and was perfect for the two us. The balcony has a nice cafe table with 4 chairs and a Weber BBQ. We did have a visitor for a week and having the extra bathroom was quite handy. There are 2 boogy boards to use, and with the waves in the afternoon, they came in handy at the beach. There was always a lounger and palapa/umbrella for us to use on the beach or at the pool. The pools were always warm. The little snack shack at the pool was very handy for lunch breaks. The staff were very nice and polite, helping us with our very limited Spanish! They also visited us when we decided to stay on the beach, offering us drinks or snacks, at very resonable prices. We walked to the Mega to do our grocery shopping, which was about 35min away. There are a couple of ATM's at the Mega, (we used the HSBC), and they charge $5.00 (Cdn) per withdrawal with rates that were comparable to the RBC at home. We always used Mexican pesos at restaurants or shopping. On a side note, when walking in the area, be aware of the sidewalks, as they are quite uneven in a lot of places and can trip you up. Escpecialy if you are gawking at the wildlife! We took a cab back to the condo, and they are quick and resonably priced. There are a ton of restaurants in the Bucerias area. We found the best way to travel around is by taxi, then walk around and e. They are very clean and quick. Just remember to keep pesos in smaller denominations as change may not be readily available. During our stay we had one complete day of rain, otherwise it was +29-30 C and sunny everyday. Ocean water was very warm and fun to swim in. The RIU next door was no problem as they shut down their music around 9:00 pm or so. There is an exercise room on site. It has a couple of treadmills and stationary bikes. There is also tennis courts and mini golf on site to use. There is always security guards around the premises. There is a Drug Store/Pharmacy about a 15 min walk up the road past the RIU's, in case you get sunburnt or need some bandaids etc. The Flamingos Beach and Golf Resort is very well maintained and even has a couple of resident iguanas! If you are looking for a beach holiday where the sand is only 1 minute from your room and you want to make your own meals, you won't go wrong staying here. We would definitely come back here.
