I had the most AMAZING stay at Flamboyan!!
I read all the reviews before booking and can confirm the following:
1. Wanda at the front desk is an angel on earth, period!! The rumors are all true, she'll take very good care of you with genuine love, patience, and kindness.
2. The property was definitely extra special in its hey day and it shows its age today, but it can be extra great again with just a little TLC.
Overall, I'm excited to come back here the very next time I'm on the island, and I plan to ask for the same room because it was beautifully situated for optimum privacy, with the most incredible view of Magens Bay Beach.
I'm almost 58 and took the leap of faith to walk down the mountain for the 1/2 mile walk to Magens one day, and I'll admit my ankles are still strained a week later. The oncoming traffic was really scary to navigate because of the tight corners and I had to cross the street to walk in the same direction as traffic several times to avoid being hit by cars coming around the blind mountain curbs. Just pay the cab fare if you're not young and fit, trust me!
The bed was extremely comfortable, the linens were fresh and very clean, and the maid service was impeccable! I also thrived on the fresh coffee and breakfast items from Northside Grind every morning, and enjoyed great dinners and drinks at Root42, all without having to leave the grounds, so what's not perfect about staying at the Flamboyan??!! C'mon, see for yourself!
