Be Aware:
Flamingos can get sick and they may not be available the day you go









Ferry boat runs every 15 mins or so and takes about 12-15 mins to get there
While Flamingo island is adults only, families can come over to see the Flamingos between 9- 10 am. Families will have access to Iguana beach, which is the family side of Flamingo Island. Don‘t stress about this too much. When I was there, the flamingos were all over on both sides!
There are not a lot of Flamingos and everyone wants a picture with them, so be patient!
Private cabanas all have hammocks over the water, but they are pricey, starting at $409. Must contact hotel directly to book & must be a hotel guest & provide reservation number
2 restaurants on the island, Papagayo Bar & Grill and Mangrove Beach bar & Fish Shack!
