having recently moved to the St Petersburg area I was looking for a fun place that might have a Sunday tea dance. I was anxious to try The Flamingo but left extremely disappointed. This place is really trashy and should be leveled and rebuilt. The street view shows a very old and dated motel facade. I was hoping there would be something appealing on the other side but this place is really sad. really loud techno music blaring in the pool area and although there were a few people actually in the pool it was actually the only redeeming attribute to the entire place. I ordered a draft beer and it was $5.25. Rip-off! Since I was by myself, I decided to take a seat and watch the crowd from a table around the pool. I was not able to sit back plastic chairs or they would collapse. (I'm not overweight!) Everything was old and worn out including many of the patrons..I Having moved from a city without a significant gay culture I was very much looking forward to finding one here..MAJOR DISSAPOINTMENT! A city as beautiful as St Pete deserves much better!

fun Sunday t-dance

Go there for the Sunday t-dance. Nice pool, upbeat atmosphere, good Sunday drink specials. If you have too much to drink that afternoon, get a room there. Rest of week doesn't have the same energy and vibe, and not as many people there. Always a crowd for The Sunday t-dance

A very nice place with the whole Package

If after (or before) hitting the beach you want to refresh yourself with a few nice drinks, then this is the place you wanna go, there is not entry fee and also no fee per parking, the place is huge and is not far from the South coast of St. Pete where the gays beaches usually are. Inside you'll find a couple of dancing clubs, few bars, hot-dog cars, clothing-sex stores, good music always, good vibes everywhere, a large swimming pool, several kiosks that sell food and alcohol, a store that will give you counseling about STDs, free lub and condoms. The place is practically open always.

WONDERFUL NEW GAY RESORT

We are right now staying here. We really didn't know what to expect since the last time we stayed at a gay resort in St. Petersburg was several years ago at the Suncoast which was a total mess. Now for our review of the new Flamingo Resort..... Driving into the Resort from the street, it was nice, clean, very NICE. The lobby was very Floridian and the deskclerk, Tim was very professional,courteous and friendly. Our room was very clean and nice. The pool area was extremely well kept and the landscaping was good. They have a couple of bars, the outside pool bar and the inside bar was is very upscale. Our favorite bartender (and everyone else's) was Joey who is one of the finest and most professional bartenders that we have ever had. He KNOWS how to be a bartender. Their restaurant is also very nice. The Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg area has needed a gay resort like this for a long time. For those not wanting to go to Ft. Lauderdale/South Beach, this is wonderful. We know it will only get better and better. Their owners and staff have done a remarkable job.
