Caring owner and staff in this boutique hotel with a vintage touch
Our stay was truly fantastic! Staff was so helpfull and did make everything that our stay was perfect. We more than happily ate at the table and by the Menu of the Flamboyant. The food was delicious and great value of money. Hotel is boutique in sized and the touch of vintage and "Kenia" in general forgives the slight make-up needs in the premises.

Pretty resort right at the beach
A fabulous experience with great beach access right at the resort, clean and stylish interiors. The courteous staff really take care of your beach and swimming pool experience. There’s a bunch of recliners by the beach under the sun and shade and wow!! The owner also has a tree house experience property ‘Stilt Backpackers’ just 5 min walk behind this resort and that’s a must place to spend a day at to live and breathe in pure nature! Don’t forget to feed the bush babies at 7pm :) Kudos to Wayne and his team!!

Worth a Repeat Visit
This is a small, (10 room), hotel directly giving direct access to the beach. Rooms are a good size, air conditioning works well, while the bed we had was very comfy. The restaurant serves a reasonable daytime/evening menu, while breakfast was also good with the added bonus of someone to keep the monkeys away from enjoying the fruit element. There is a pool on site, but with the beach so close that is where we spent most of our time on the white sands and wonderfully warm clear blue water. There are also plenty of sun beds by the beach, plus adequate shade and we did enjoy a fresh coconut milk drink from one of the beach traders. If anything needs sorting or arranging, then Wayne, the owner, is only too happy to oblige. Whilst there, it is worth popping to his other property, Tree Tops, across the road, where the food is far more basic and cheaper, with a more relaxed and chilled atmosphere. Make sure you go at 7.00 in the evening when the bush babies are fed.…

Retreat
I hated that I travelled here for one night only and for work!!! This place is such a retreat. No TV, though there’s WiFi. Few rooms makes for a lean crowd. A real retreat. Beautiful feature pool, well lit also for night swimming. Next to the ocean so beach access is easy and the breeze amazing! Rooms are air conditioned, and all the meals are ala carte, meaning fresh. (Beach hotel buffets are notorious recyclers) If you need to finish writing that book, or just need to recharge your batteries, perfect spot. 10 minutes fro the airstrip, perfect for a quick weekend getaway.

So Child Friendly and right on the Beach
Fabulous quiet hotel, we were there when it first opened as a Hotel in 2017, Wayne the owner is simply the best, so helpful. The Hotel has a lovely swimming pool and dining area overlooking the fabulous beach - cannot get better than Flamboyant for a small Hotel with great service
