Peaceful and charming
Hotel Flamboyan has lovely grounds and is in a safe affluent location about 20 minutes outside Salvador. The private grounds were pretty and well cared for. We spent many hours sitting in the large shaded gazebo area when we weren't at the beautiful beach or enjoying the clean small warm pool. It's a very small resort - we were 2 of only 3 guests. Our room was under renovation, so there were some details that were unfinished, eg., painting, trim, etc. A place to hang clothes would have been appreciated. There was an outer room just outside our bedroom which had a sofa and large table & chairs, but which was also under renovation (workmen would sometimes go through to access the area they were working on) but we didn't spend anytime in this room as the gazebo was a more attractive place to sit. WiFi worked well everywhere on the grounds. The breakfast was fresh & plentiful although repetitive, served in the open air at the sister hotel just a short stroll away. The town with many stores, services and restaurants was an easy 15 minute walk. The service was incredible - Giuilano and his staff went above and beyond for everything. One major problem was that it is a difficult place to find as there is no signage indicating "Hotel Flamboyan" and even the locals did not know it by that name. You have to know to look for Villa Araca which is its sister hotel. In general, a lovely spot, very relaxing and peaceful if you aren't interested in the bustle of a large city.
