“Drinks at the bar with bartender Irinq”

Jul 21, 2026Janyla F

I went to go eat the bar for blue flamingo and the bartender Irinq was by far the BEST ! Bartender I’ve ever ran into this was by first time visiting key west and meeting such a kind soul even through the chaos of the business she was still able to serve speak and provide excellent service she made me a red sangria I had to double Back for seconds ! That drink was on point whenever you visit ask for Irinq let her know the girl With red sangria sent you . I promise you will not regret it in the best part about it is that tip is already included so she did not try to harass me to give more tip like some people would do in other places

“NO GOOD HOTEL”

Jul 13, 2026Efkan U

We had agreed on a three-day stay, but on the second day, they entered our room without knocking and told us we had to leave. There was a short person at the reception—who looked like a manager—but they were completely unhelpful and just walked away in the middle of the conversation. On the first night, we found small hairs in the bed.

“Could be good for the right travelers”

Jul 08, 2026Nuttycaperskw

⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5) The Blue Flamingo is a unique and fun property with a lot to offer the right guest. If you’re looking for a lively resort atmosphere, this place has plenty to enjoy. There are two pools, a DJ at one of the pools, putting greens, bocce, outdoor games, a fun food truck, weekend barbecue, a great bar, and a convenient shuttle into Old Town. It’s easy to spend a day here between sightseeing and really enjoy yourself. I also want to recognize one of the bartenders, whose name I unfortunately can’t remember. She was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and provided excellent customer service throughout my stay. As a local Key West resident, I stayed here for three nights after packing up my home following its sale. I booked through Priceline and was specifically looking for a quiet place to unwind during a stressful time. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the experience I had. When I checked in late, I explained my situation and asked if a quiet room was available. I didn’t feel my request was really acknowledged, and the front desk customer service left me disappointed. I also encountered confusion at checkout regarding fees, particularly parking charges that I didn’t believe had been clearly communicated. It took reaching out to the general manager, Joel, to resolve everything. I do want to commend Joel for taking the time to listen to my concerns and making things right. He handled the situation professionally and genuinely cared about resolving the issues, which I greatly appreciated. One thing future guests should know is that this is not a quiet property. If you’re looking for peace and relaxation, this may not be the best fit. However, if you’re looking for a vibrant, energetic resort with lots of activities, music, and a social atmosphere, especially for younger travelers or groups of friends, you’ll probably have a great time. Overall, I had mixed feelings about my stay. The property itself is creative, fun, and offers a lot of entertainment, but I believe the front desk customer service and communication about fees could be improved. Thanks to Joel’s efforts, my stay ended on a much better note, and I appreciate that he took the time to make things right. For those reasons, I’m giving the Blue Flamingo 3 out of 5 stars.
