As many have said, the Flamboyant must have one of the best views of any hotel anywhere in the world. Stretching before you is the long Grande Anse Beach curving around to St George’s in the distance.

The hotel isn’t swish, but it’s the kind of place that grows on you – and clearly most people seem to love it.

We moved in after having stayed at a slightly more expensive hotel, and at first we were a little crestfallen. Our room seemed to be one of the older ones and was a bit tired. The bathroom was quite old and somewhat depressing. It needed a refurb. But the room was spacious, well-equipped and clean – and there was that view.

We later visited what seemed to be a more modern apartment and it was much nicer. How much more that costs we don’t know, but it would have been worth it.

The hotel restaurant served a very good meal the one night we ate there, and the late night Owl Bar seems to be popular – but we never visited it. Next door is Savvy’s restaurant, which is worth a visit as the food is OK and they’ve got a great night time view of St George’s.

The Flamboyant is quite informal and has excellent and friendly staff. They were very pleasant and helpful - particularly with a courtesy room as we had a late departure.

There’s plenty of room to lie in the sun, if that’s your thing, as there are terraces overlooking the bay, as well as the pool area. And if you walk up and over the hill you’ll find yourself in a very pleasant bay. The cold beer and rotis in the beach bar were much enjoyed.

The Dive Grenada centre at the foot of the hotel is highly recommended. They’re a pleasant crowd and the equipment looks new – which is change from some of the Caribbean dive centres we’ve been to. The wreck dive is an interesting one. It’s very reasonably priced, too. Snorkeling in Grand Anse and neighbouring bays proved poor, though, due to low visibility and acres of kelp.

We took a plane and boat trip to Union Island and then Tobago Keys – where the water was like crystal.

We made one elementary mistake when out and about in Grenada, and that was letting the credit card out of our sight in several places. We never do that in the UK – but there are no chip & pin machines in Grenada (as far as we can tell) and our guard was down. So, you’ll guess what happened next… We can’t be 100 per cent sure of course, but we strongly suspect the details were taken in Grenada.

So, back to the Flamboyant. It has a host of loyal fans. It’s a relaxed, fairly low-frills kind of place, but very pleasant – and you could sit and gaze at that view for hours. We enjoyed our stay.

I Stayed in the Flamboyant at the beginning of January. It is one of the best located Hotels on the Island. Overlooking Grand Anse Beach but only 2 minutes walk to the shore edge i couldnt ask for more. Firendly staff and clean and comfortable. What more could a person want. Very highly recomended & perfect for anyone who enyoys diving,the beach or chilling by the pool

A really good unpretentious hotel. It offers good location near the beach. There are quite a few steps down to the beach but that wasnt the end of the world. Compensated for by a very nice beach bar at the bottom. All the hotels facilities are up to scratch. The staff are good and friendly. Follow the road up from the hotel to Mourne Rouge Bay. We liked this even more than Grand Anse. The rooms are nice and spacious. The hotel is by a road but it is quite at night so I wouldnt let that worry you

What a magnificent view across the sea to St.Georges! The Flamboyant was situated right next to two beautiful beaches and up the road from a wonderful mall and several eating places. Although there were many stairs to climb, this helped our family to remain fit for the duration of our stay. We needed this as the breakfast they provided (fresh fruit, local foods, traditioanl bacon and eggs) was hard to ignore and was the reason our son was up early for the first time in his life. Credit must be given to Mr.Lambert for maintaining a first-class resort like the Flamboyant. The facilties were amazing - hotel, bar, restaurant, games room, fitness room - and much more than we expected. The staff were friendly, particularly those in the restaurant. But the best part for me was that local Grenadians had access to the bar facilities on the beach and the hotel made no attempt (as some other hotels do) to block locals using the beach infront of their facilities. Well done Flamboyant Hotel!
