Aparthotel Riu Flamingo in Playa del Inglés, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands

Aparthotel Riu Flamingo details

A big pool, spacious gardens and quiet location all come together at the Aparthotel Riu Flamingo.

The Aparthotel Riu Flamingo shares a complex with the Riu Papayas. And as a guest you get full run of the facilities at both. Wander through the well-tended gardens and you’ll find a large pool. It’s framed by tall palms and comes with a snack bar.

At the Riu Flamingo, you can choose between studios and apartments – the latter are a bit bigger. Both are air-conditioned, and cover all the basics with satellite TVs, balconies or terraces and simple kitchenettes with electric rings and fridges. And when you want to eat out, there’s a buffet restaurant over at the Riu Papayas.

In terms of location, the complex is only a 5-minute walk from the centre of town. And the Kasbah Centre – home to bars, restaurants and superclubs like Cream and Pacha – is walkable in 10 minutes. As an added bonus, the hotel runs a free shuttle bus to Playa del Inglés’ 3 kilometres of sand.
