    If you are in the main rooms, the road and parties around are very loud all night London. If you stay in the cabins, you will hear the noise of the AC from the other rooms around!

    Very well located and nice concept. Staff is amazing and super friendly!

    Nothing. Everything was fine! What we paid for was what we got. It was great! If you want a 5 star pay for it. This was not but was perfect enough!! We are on the beach and about all day anyway. It was comfy!

    It was very good. Wish they had Bammy and maybe another Jamaican breakfast choice. Also. The front office staff were SO friendly and helpful. We’ve stayed many places and they were the most cheerful, helpful and friendliest consistently we have ever had. Awesome trio - Howard, Andrea and Sharon!!! Thank you!!!!!!

    Some of the rooms are very basic- walls made of 2x 4’s with cracks, wooden slatted windows provide little sound/ heat barriers. Bathrooms very basic. Kitchen can be hit or miss, stocked w utensils, or not depending on the unit. Some ppl do not respect quiet hours.

    Right on Seven Mile beach. walking distance to many restaurants and activities. Smaller, quiet. Basic Rooms- maybe too basic, depending on the room. Great to have an onsite restaurant with good specials. Full kitchen, full size fridge with lots of room to make and chill your beverages.

    It was way too hot in the cabin ALL the time, the showers and toilet are like a breeding place for all kind of insects. Not enough storage room in the cabin. Beds are uncomfortable, they need to cut the bushes man.

    Easy connection to the beach, friendly people working. The security guard is a legend

    I was advised to upgrade my room the day before coming into Negril (which was good advice) but if I wanted to cancel a night will be charged which made me feel trapped into choosing the hotel, they have to make the communication better to avoid misunderstandings, the issue was handled very well by the staff who where friendly and accommodating, it just felt uncomfortable

    The location is very good, the place is cozy, the staff are very nice and welcoming

    No comments! We loved everything

    The cabins were super cute with a rustic beach vibe and amazing value for the price. The beds were pretty comfy and the outside bathroom was clean and easy to access. Towels were provided (both for the shower and for the beach) which was super helpful. The absolute best thing was the location as we couldn't be closer to the water - it was literally a 60 second walk away! There are loads of restaurants on seven mile beach so you'll be spoiled for choice for restaurants. The staff, especially Mauvette, at Firefly were incredibly accommodating, helpful, and simply lovely people! I recommend booking activities via Mauvette at the front desk - we had a great time helmet diving with Curtis & Dennis, and Fritz the taxi driver was one of our favourite people in Jamaica! Thank you for making our holiday so incredible :)

    Very minor issue for us but the cabin had poor lighting. We would open the door to look in our suitcase Haha. We always bring a flashlight on our travels and we used it there. However it was not a deal breaker for us. We want to go back.

    The checkin by Jarvis was first rate. He anticipated our questions and gave us local advice. Very pleasant guy. He also wanted to make sure we were safe and physically walked us to the correct Route Taxi. Gary, a security guard on the property felt like a friend and was always checking with us to make sure we were good. He helped us get in touch with Captain Randolph who with his son took us snorkeling at the reef out by Booby Key. The Firefly was chill atmosphere and lots of flowers ant tropical plants all around. Shade everywhere. The restaurant on the beach served as a community gathering place and we made friends. We were far enough away from the party bars that it was no big deal. One could easily walk up the beach to party all night if inclined. We stayed in one of the secret cabins where we had to go out to the bathroom just a few steps away, but it was well lit and felt safe. The outdoor shower was fantastic.

    The appartment showed already the years, especially the kitchen. There have been no bedside lamps, only one lamp at the ceiling.

    The location was terrific! Directly at the beach. The garden was so beautiful with all kinds of plants and flowers. The staff was super nice and friendly. The restaurant was right on the beach where we enjoyed breakfast every morning and sunset with a drink in the evening. We will definitely be back!

    misleading advertisement

    The room was a cabin with cracks and holes where animals had chewed through the wire mesh to enter the space. Because it was a would cabin it also had leftover dust from the insects that had burrowed into the walls. lots of dust when you touched things- we slept in the car on the second day because the dust was creating wheezing and allergy issues for both of us. The property is aware that its pictures are misleading on booking because before we reached the cabin the concierge was telling us we could upgrade for an additional fee because guest state the pictures online are misleading.

    Yes, It was right on the beach! Yes, it had a lot of garden space. Yes, it had a seating area on the beach
