they pass the hotel and apartments. An

Airbus A320  lls three-quarters of a frame

at approximately 280mm focal length on a

With the option to enjoy the aircraft

movements from a room balcony or the roof

terrace and being so close to the waterfront,

the Flamingo Beach Hotel is the ideal

location to combine a sunshine holiday with

some aviation.
