Room was clean and the housekeeper came everyday for sheets and towels, staff was nice and professional, Firefly bar and restaurant had some of the best food on the beach. We stayed in 17 penthouse suite, little tight on space but had kitchenette and medium sized fridge. WiFi was really slow and unusable; but we don’t need to be on devices on a vacation like this anyways. AC went completely out on our second day, not to worry.. they replaced the entire mini split system on 3rd floor in a few hours while we were on the beach. I can’t tell you how much I was impressed with the service at this place. I Will be coming back to stay here in the future. Oh yeah and the beach front was beautiful with an over sized almond tree uniquely sprawled across half the beach area provided critical shade in the high UV environment.

The price of the room was excellent and the room was very spacious. Unfortunately, the resort had no power when we checked in. Thankfully, the bar had a generator and Sophia served up some awesome rum punches. The electricity was restored later, but in the morning we had no hot water to shower before check-out.

The establishments are absolutely exquisite. You wake up to wild roosters cookooing nearby, beautiful landscape, close to the main strip for taxi services, groceries, general store and pharmacy. Quick stroll through beautifully catered gardens to the MAGNIFICENT 7 mile Negril beach. I stayed in two buildings here at Firefly, 2 days in the Apartment suite which was very clean, beautiful and open to the elements, and another 5 days in the Single Cottage. The cottage was absolutely breathtaking and such a surprise, wow. You will spend most of your time out exploring but coming back to Firefly at the end of the day is a beautiful experience. Staff are extremely nice and want to help you with anything you need. Highly, highly recommend Firefly!

Chill Vacation

I’ve been going to Firefly since the late 1980’s. Honeymooned there in the late 90s. It is perfectly located on the 7 mile beach of Negril. The rooms are quiet and comfortable and you’re never more than a moment away from the beach. The new expanded restaurant and bar is wonderful. If you want a chill vacation, alone, in a couple, with kids, it’s all you need.The staff are all first rate and truly friendly.

Overall a great place to stay. As we had room 17 at the very top, our view was spectacular. Staff were very friendly and helpful in a timely manner. Kitchen setup was good for making breakfast or a light meal. The only down side with our stay was the seating for the room . The bar stools in the room, and on the balcony are only comfortable for a short sitting time, and the only other option was to lay down on the bed. The balcony could benifit from a couple lounge type chairs. As one of the main things we enjoy on our vacations is to relax and take in the experience, more comfortable seating would have made this place perfect.

Sad To See It Go

This was our first time at FireFly, and we had high hopes of making it our ongoing spot, but we understand it has been sold. No one knows what the future holds. It is a sad situation for employees at the hotel, and even the restaurant. The pros are definitely the employees! They could not have been nicer, in spite of the uncertainty of future employment. Andrea, in the office, was very helpful in assisting with changes we had to make due to an emergency. Jarvis, in the office, is amazing. Thoughtful, helpful, with a great personality!!!!! He would do well anywhere, and be a real asset. Addy, in housekeeping, was a delight. She wasn’t our housekeeper, but would brighten up your day anytime you came in contact with her. And, Miss Darby was excellent (our housekeeper). Very pleasant, and helped us with some laundry. My husband’s socks have never been whiter! Gary, in security, was so nice to talk with, and went out of his was to make us feel comfortable.
Cons. The property could use some updating, both inside, and out. Water pressure was sometimes an issue. We went 2 days without TV, and wifi was iffy at best. We never saw anyone at the security entrance. Gary can’t be at the beach, and entrance, at the same time. We would have considered going back, but because of the total uncertainty of the property we have already made arrangements elsewhere. You have to book early for these small, local, affordable, places.

everyone who works at firefly is super nice- andrea is so sweet and very helpful if you have any issues. the guests can be a bit much, but that's just how negril beach is.

pelican suite is great if you want to have a beach view but be separate from the rest of the guests, plus it has a great kitchen. the folks working next door at sun beach can get kind of loud when they're hanging out in the staff area, though.

room 11 is great if you want privacy and are fine with road noise and crowing roosters- i happen to really like both, so it was all good for me.

I was here 11/3-11/10/2023. The price rt air (DTW) & stay was $500. Can’t beat it. When we arrived, I was shown the room the package included-shared bathroom-and was offered an upgrade for $100 more pp. No problem. $600 for a one week. All good. Desk employee who arranged accommodations-Travis- very very nice and pleasant. Housekeeping staff very friendly. My only complaint is the food at the Firefly. Terrible and overpriced. We ate there a couple times and quickly began eating 2 doors down at the Sandy Haven. EVERY DAY. Excellent drinks, food and prices. Full breakfast with French toast, eggs, bacon & potatoes $8! The wonderful think about being along this Negril beach strip is that you can walk along the beach and visit neighboring properties’ bars and restaurants; all beaches are public. You don’t have to stay there to eat there and thank goodness for that- you won’t be stuck/limited to where you lay your head! I would return to Firefly. Rooms 14 & 19 are GREAT & highly recommended. AC works GREAT. Wifi is OK.

Disapointing

We booked this hotel in Negril as an extension to our stay in Montego Bay. It was literally one of the only hotels available. We took our chances and were so disappointed. The property had garbage piled up all over and the smell and bugs from the garbage were so awful, we had to plug our noses each time we walked to our room. There were old appliances like washing machines or dryers laying around on the property. We had a death in the family the day we arrived and had to leave early. The property was very gracious and agreed to refund the remaining part of our stay. They even wrote a letter and signed it agreeing to the refund, however they did not abide by their agreement and once we left, they never refunded the money. They did not return any of our phone calls or emails or requests to speak with the manager. We will certainly NOT return to this hotel or recommend it to anyone else.

We got a suite for 3 people with a kitchen with stove, refrigerator, microwave. The place is very outdated but clean and spacious. Few feet away from the beach. They do have restaurant options inside the firefly and surrounding hotels as well. My only inconvenience was that it was very noisy and loud at night. We couldn't sleep. During Negril party nights, felt like the music blasting from the speakers were right near our rooms. Rooms didn't have curtains, so party blinking lights were annoying while we were trying to sleep at 2 am

Could have been great, but we were left confused.

While staff (especially the cleaning staff and resturaunt staff) are very friendly, the entire trip was confusion caused by poor communication from the front desk staff. The first day, friends we were travelling with were informed that they had no room and were going to be provided with a room at a different place. It turned out to be basically a shack that smelled poorly.
Our room, once we checked in had multiple beds. Our friends ended up staying with us and Firefly chose to not comp the other room. On our last day there, we were told that we needed to move rooms because they overbooked and needed the space.
That being said, the resturaunt had excellent service and the food was great. The rooms were kept very clean by the staff and were nice if a bit dated.

The place is awesome but we did not get the ocean view suite we reserved. When speaking with other guests the same happened to them.

Andrea and staff were very accommodating and SO PLEASANT!! Although the property is older without the resort type \"glitz & glamor\" it is very clean, tidy and the AC is artic! The view from penthouse #17 is nice with the ocean directly in front. Fyi...There are quite a few steps involved that were challenging with my knee issues. Nonetheless, the room was very clean and fresh! The restaurant gives that \"porch\" vibe and ocean view. The food was good and the staff EXEMPLARY! We bought a bottle and were invited to stay and enjoy the night even after staff had left. It was a nice stay and would glady return!

Lots of activities especially water sports(parasailing,snorkeling,jet skiing,etc.) My only problem was that the excursions I planned were canceled because firefly wasn’t listed as a pickup location, even tho listed locations were literally footsteps or a palm tree away. Plan ahead for transportation to and from excursions outside of Negril. As in Ocho Rios,Montego Bay,Falmouth

This was our second stay at Firefly and we loved it! It’s not a fancy hotel but it made us feel like we were glamping right by the beach which is definitely our style. I love the location because there are usually events nearby that we could walk to. The staff is very friendly and we had a great time getting to know them. Make sure to eat dinner at the restaurant at least once. Jermaine’s cooking is excellent! The only downside to our stay was that there was no longer a security guard on the beach (which there was the last time we were here) so the locals will come right up to your beach chair to sell you items. That aside though, we still plan to stay at Firefly again.

The staff, food, bar, and beach were so sweet. Perfect escape. Hassle-free.
It's true things can be tough in this life. The people working on the beach are polite most of the time but a few of them are annoyed and hot and hungry. We can not unfortunately support them all. The frequent approach and response did make us feel a way after a while. But we understand that this is how people survive and remain respectful even after the kiss of their teef and dismiss of our apology. So it goes☮. We will recommend FF and be back to visit when the time is right.💜

Stayed in the Penthouse. Beautiful view but 32 steps to get up there. Not for someone with bad knees. Slept with door open at night. Very pleasant
All employees were very nice. Didnt like that they allowed people to hang out and use beach chairs that were not staying at the hotel. These people dis not appear to be buying anything from the bar/restaurant but would hang out for hours
Good location on the beach with several nearby restaurant options. All in all a.good stay at a reasonable price. Nothing fancy.

I loved the size of the property, small and compact. The gardens are beautiful. We stayed in three rooms/cabins. I loved the cabins it’s camping meets Jamaica now coined Jamping in the jabin. The first jabin wouldnhave been perfect for one person but there were two of us and the pseudo bunk is not fit for a second adult.

An upgrade was offered at an additional cost but we ended up taking a lateral move to a second cabin which was perfect but we had to move on the last night because it wasn’t available until we were scheduled to check out.

I will definitely go back and I recommend it to others. There are a variety of accommodations available from cabins, rooms and bachelor/apartment style with cooking amenities. I recommend calling and confirming the type of reservation to make sure you get what you signed up for.
Loved everything else about the property. Looking forward to staying here again.
