Colours Destinations: Key West, South Beach, San Jose, Costa Rica and Beyond!

Remember the 1889 Victorian mansion at
410 Fleming St. in Key West ?

It was dubbed Colours because of the multi-colored stained glass panels in the shape of a fan above the main entrance.

It's still there, though the mansion has been renamed the Marrero Mansion in memory of the builder and first owner.

Remember this guy? He's the visionary behind Colours Destinations Int'l. and the creator of Colours, The Guest Mansion in Key West back in 1983.

Cheers, mate! Those were the days in Key West. Thanks for the memories. And, yes I would recognize your smile today after 25 years of not seeting you in person.

Thanks for mentioning, I forget to smile more often these days...and doing so does "win friends and influence people" as they say.
I hope to soon be posting the first photos to the Colours Most Wanted. Stay tuned ! JAMES

WOW..... Jamey here, and the yellow paint with peach shutters was my project! Kenny, Joey Youngeman, Ricky (and the three legged dog), Mark, Wallace and myself where most of the crew. I was manager at the time and Kenny and I executed some major renovations! Some other accomplishments of note where Colours' first web presence and reservation system, first in-room phone system, rooms 1, 2 & 3 and check in desk renovation, exterior painting and can't forget pool renovation and ozone! This was the beginning of the Royal Tours and Excursions as well! Some amazing times, for sure.....Thank you, James
