The Flags are here


The new flags have finally arrived and are now proudly flapping in the wind on the property.

We have these 3 flag poles and they hold the Antillean Flag, The Dutch Flag and The Saba Flag.

The Antillean Flag still bears the 5 stars which represented 5 islands of the Netherlands Antilles but with the break up of the islands it will most likely be changed to only reflect 3 stars or 3 islands.

For now though it is still the official flag of the Netherlands Antilles.

The government is very strict on how they want the flags to be flown with the Dutch Flag in the middle, Antillean Flag to the left and Saba Flag on the right.

The previous owner of the hotel used to fly various "American" ones specifically a Confederate Flag just to piss people off.

No wonder his hotel was a flop by behaving that way!

Happy Flag Day from Saba.
