"As it was my 5th time on the island and 3rd time staying at Flamingo Beach St. Maarten, I had another wonderful time and experience. As always the staff was nice, and pleasant to talk to and approach, however there was not much needed from them, as everything was already readily available. Room was clean, beach was clean, and not to mention, everything was there. We didn’t have to leave if we didn’t want to. Great time and we will be back next year!"
