The good - the hosts are wonderful, helpful people. The beach vendors selling fresh-squeezed juice, fresh fruit, hot bread, fresh-cooked lobster (with plate and fork), and whatever else you might like are great! The beach and water were calm, warm and clean. The numerous restaurants, including Firefly's breakfast, were excellent and convenient. Having our own kitchen with fridge was also great as were the sunsets from our porch.

The bad - We had the "Cozy Cottage" on the beach, a mere 20 yards from the bar next door which constantly played the radio quite loud. It's proximity may make you hesitant to enjoy the clothing-optional aspect of this guest house - there were very few people during our four-day stay who did so.. The bed was, unfortunately, hard and small (full-size). The water was luke-warm at best, but then the air temperature was never below 75 F so it didn't matter much.

After the third trip this year to Firefly I just had to put it in writing. It's an idyllic setting on the upper end of Seven Mile beach, just south of Margaritaville. Unless you are lucky enough to get the cottage on the beach or one of the beachview penthouses, the garden view is just as pleasant. There is a workout room as well as a Jacuzzi in the Garden area.
The bar is staffed by a couple of the finest young ladies ever-Maxine & Shawn. Kick back and enjoy a Red Stripe or a good rum blender. They also serve an excellent breakfast ALL day until close for those who may lose track of time.
Close enough to the nightlife,yet far enough away to get a good sleep when needed. Excellent dining in either direction.
Within the resort are some cedar cabins from the days when Negril was just a fishing village. There are four of them that can sleep up to three-I think one can handle four. Cleaned daily and comfortable, there is nothing more economical on the beach.
To close, I have to add that Firefly/Secrets is a clothing optional resort-the only one on 7-mile besides the A/I's. This goes for the beach area and Jacuzzi only, but it is Naturist oriented and for families, couples, or singles-who needs tan lines or a wet suit?!

In 2 weeks, my husband and I will be returning to Firefly for our third trip. We love to travel and don't often go more than a couple of times to the same location. Firefly is different. After our first stay we both commented that "it was the most relaxing vacation we have ever taken". The atmosphere, the staff, the people you meet, all are wonderful. We always rent the penthouse because we love the view. Everything is readily available on the beach. We can dine at a different restaurant every night. We can, and often do, buy fresh fish or lobster from the local fisherman and cook our own. We stroll the beach several times a day, relax in the warn sun, swim in the crystal waters or take trip with Capt Ziggy to the reef to snorkel. Yes, the vendors, can be a pain but they respect the word "NO". We can hardly wait to get there and hit the beach. We have no regrets and plan to visit several more times.

My wife and I hit the jackpot when we selected Secrets Cabins on The Firefly Property. Just exactly what we were looking for. We felt like family from the first nite. We spent 9 total beginning March 14. A beautifull beach ,a bar with cold Stripes and friendly folks.The grounds were clean and secure and not once any uncomfortible feeling. And no it was not all inclusive. We were not in a zoo with a fence surrounding us. We were free to move around as much as we liked.Secrets has the best Bar and The best pancakes on the 7 mile beach. Another favorite eating place is Rainbow Arch. You can't go wrong. Many food and drink choi ces line the beach in both directions. If The good Lord is willing and The Creek don't Rise,We will surely return to visit our new friends soon.
