10/10
I came to St Maarten for the sunshine and the ocean and the Flamingo was the perfect choice. The property was well maintained and everyone was friendly. I’m giving it 5 stars with a couple of small complaints. The room had a slight musty / mildew smell - not terrible but noticeable. Maybe that’s to be expected with the climate. Also, I waited until 4 or 5 for housekeeping to clean but never came back to a clean room. At around 4 or 5 I put up the Do Not Disturb sign. Not a very big deal and I’m sure if I needed anything, the hotel would have been happy to provide. Maybe housekeeping doesn’t come with the VRBO rental? The area was beautiful with several restaurants within walking distance. There is a little grocery very close by and a wonderful bakery about 3/4 of a mile away (La Sucriere) with the best flan I have ever had. The bus stop was about 1/2 a mile away. I take public transportation when I travel all the time but people are right, if you want to get around easily you should rent a car. I took the bus twice and it was fine to get me in the general vicinity of where I was going but with no bus route maps, it’s a little tricky. All in all I enjoyed the Flamingo and Simpson Bay. It was just what I needed.
