What a terrific place! Room was exceptionally clean, and fresh new decor with wonderful amenities. Loved the mid-century look of the steel containers. Trails, Marina, kayaking, canoeing, boat rides, all within walking distance. Sunset views can’t be beat.
I stayed in one of the glamping tents and it was absolutely wonderful! Greyson checked me in and he was very helpful with my many questions. The restaurant was perfect with a nice menu and reasonable prices. Emmaline at the Marina store went out of her way to help me with what I needed. Very thing about my visit was terrific! I can't wait to visit again in the future.
The Flamingo restaurant and nearby marina store are the only places to buy food or groceries and the selection in both is very limited. If you don't want average grilled/fried/microwave meals then bring your own prepared food. The accommodation itself is good, well maintained and near to a few tours, trails and a visitor centre.
This place was quite the experience! It's located at the southern tip of Florida in the Everglades National Park. Over 40 miles from 'civilization'. This place is great for an outdoors experience with a hotel room. Sadly we came in slow season, during government shutdown, so some of the nearby activities/restaurant offerings were not available. Still plenty to do between all the trails, boat tours, fishing, kayaking, etc. Our room was wonderful. A/C worked great with a nice deep tub for bathing. Lots of mosquitos outside, so needed it for washing off that Deet! This place is pretty unplugged. No in room TV. Wi-Fi enough for your phone to check your emails, FaceTime, etc. There was a 'glamping' area nearby that had zero light pollution for stargazing. Awe inspiring, let me tell you! We saw manatees at the nearby marina and dolphins in the ocean outside our window. 10 out of 10, would recommend!
The Flamingo Lodge is very attractive and makes good use of shipping containers. The room was nicely appointed. The views from the room are great, and the location perfect! Unfortunately, the restaurant idles not match the quality and service of the lodge. It’s a fast food restaurant with limited menu and little incentive other than it’s the only restaurant in the park.
Peaceful place to rest after a day of exploring in the park. This is a basic lodge with all the in-room amenities we need to get comfortable. The complex is complete with a restaurant where we had lunches and dinners during our stay. Highly recommended!
This is the only eating establishment for about 40 miles. I wouldn’t quite call it a full “restaurant” but it would meet my criteria to be a bit better than a hotel cafeteria. The food was good. Service was friendly. Desserts were the best part. Pulled pork sandwich was done well and the burger was good. Indoor and outdoor seating and a small bar.
We had a wonderful stay at the Flamingo Lodge! Rooms were well equipped and clean, and the views are lovely. Great for birdwatching. Food at the restaurant was very good and the staff was super friendly. Highly recommend as a place to escape and enjoy the amazing nature of the Everglades.
