Description: The Flamingo was a very nice place to stay. The staff was extremely helpful, the pool was small but very nice. The hotel sits on a beach which is more of a bay. Very calm water, very good for young children or adults who do not like waves.
The hotel had many activities throughout the week, for example, a welcome dinner Monday night and Bingo three times a week at the beach bar. We didn't stay around the resort much.
The resort is close to everything and plenty of food stores, if you desire to eat in and cook. But there are also many places around the resort to eat, all within walking distance. Just watch the crazy drivers on the narrow street. I recommend renting a car and driving out to the other beaches on the island, if you enjoy waves.
The rooms in the Flamingo were huge! We stayed in a studio that sleeps four. There is a King size bed and a pull out couch and a dividing wall for privacy, if you go with other people. The shower stall is also very large and the private balcony is also rather large. It was like a home away from home. A full working kitchen, plenty of utensils, and on the main floor, outside there are bar-b-ques.
There are women who ask if you want your hair braided and charge $1 a braid. They do an excellent job, I suggest getting it done on Simpson Bay. It may take a few hours, but your braids will stay in for four weeks!
The Flamingo also offers beach towels for a refundable price of $25 a towel for the week and you can get as many clean towels throughout the day as you desire. There is also a safe in the room, which the resort will charge $7 for use, $1 each day you are there.
We enjoyed our stay very much and can't wait to go back.
