“God Willing”

Well. I returned from the Blue Flamingo in Key West last Tuesday with a tan, two grievances, and a renewed appreciation for the Lord’s small mercies. Let me begin with what was good, because my mother raised me to lead with grace. The breakfast courtyard — oh, take the shackles off my feet, because I danced. Cuban coffee strong enough to raise the dead, key lime muffins still warm from the oven, and a rooster strutting past our table like he held the deed to the property. Reginald laughed for the first time since his retirement party. The housekeeping staff were saints. I would write each of them into my will if my husband would permit it. Now. The concierge. He informed me, unprompted, that he was “the best on Duval.” Said he was, but he was not. I asked for a sunset sail at six; he booked us for a glass-bottom snorkel tour at dawn. He carried himself like a man who had been on the cover of something, and I couldn’t tell you what. A superstar in his own mind, dear, and nowhere else. The poolside bar suffers from a similar affliction — eighteen dollars for a frozen daiquiri served in what I can only describe as a souvenir beaker shaped like a flamingo. Would I return? Possibly. The Mallory Square sunset alone nearly had me speaking in tongues, and I am Anglican. But pack your patience, mind your wallet, and do not — I repeat, do not — allow the concierge to book a single thing on your behalf. Three stars. Two of them for the pastry chef. The third for the rooster

I stayed at Blue Flamingo, purely for business purposes… no pleasure. I felt at home the second I entered the automatic doors- greeted by a wall of brimmed sun hats. I knew they meant business. Patience & Janae at reception were an absolute delight. Polished, warm, and effortlessly attentive—the sort of welcome that feels both professional and faintly conspiratorial, as though they already know you won’t be sticking to your original plans (and are far too discreet to say so). I had every intention of behaving accordingly…. The sunshine here has a persuasive quality. The gleeful hour at The Toasted Coconut- well let’s say she turned me into a very bad girl. Everyone has a price….. mine is $6 cocktails. On a more serious note, I managed to twist my ankle on the veranda. Not the hotel’s fault in the slightest, but it did provide a moment to sit still and appreciate the surroundings rather more than planned. Silver linings, etc. Remember, some doors close behind you, but still keep your laughter on file in the hinges. That’s the Blue Flamingo experience. Paula x

We had a fabulous stay for our anniversary. The staff is all very friendly and welcoming. Our room looked exactly like the online pictures and was clean and comfortable. We will be returning.
