I needed to get out of town for a few days and decided to re-visit a resort I used to go to with family and friends when my son was little. I had forgotten how much I liked the Flamingo Resort and Spa in Santa Rosa. It is the perfect place to hide away from your hectic life for a few days. The rates start around $89.00 or $99.00 a night and they have regular rooms, junior suites, 1 bedroom and even a few 2 bedroom suites. Many of the rooms have refrigerators and microwaves. We had the luxury of having a 2 bedroom suite. It was great having that much room. You can sleep up to 5 people and maybe 6 if they give you a rollaway .
The Flamingo is great for families of all ages. The pool is wonderful and they also have a hot tub. The hotel has reciprocity with the health club next door. Tennis is free there and you have to pay a nominal fee if you want to use the gym or take classes. The resort also
offers yoga lessons on certain days of the week.
Go to www.flamingoresort.com for more details on what they have.
There is a lot to do in the area. For the kids (and adults), there is the Charles Shultz museum. The Russian river is not far away and you are also close to many of the wineries in Sonoma and Napa. So there is plenty to keep you busy, or you can just stay in this little oasis and never leave!
