Firefly Beach Cottages - Jamaica

There is a little gem on the beach in Negril and if you like quaint, romantic hideaways, you will fall in love with Firefly. This is a discreet clothes-optional property, and children are welcome.

The staff is very friendly and you will no doubt meet an interesting group of guests during your stay here. Everyone seems to have so much fun it is difficult to tell who is staff and who are guests! There is no restaurant here but a light breakfast is available and the bar is reasonably priced, relaxed and inviting. Excellent restaurants are close by, within walking distance up or down the beach.

With only 19 units there are 9 types of rooms available, from luxury beachfront Penthouse Suites to one bedroom Cottage or Studios to moderate Studios. All have ceiling fans, most have air-conditioning. All units have a complete kitchen and dining area. If you're lucky you can sometimes catch a fisherman selling lobster or snapper on the beach nearby. Some cabins have a loft or second bedroom. All are rustic yet comfortable and romantic, all have patios or verandas.

The tropical gardens are home to hummingbirds, flowers and fresh fruits. The cabins are stucco and timber and there is an adorable Victorian style building that houses the suites and penthouses. The feeling is very private upon your veranda surrounded by shade trees, singing birds and flowers.

Snorkeling is good right off the beach. A wide variety of watersports are available up and down the beach. Guests may use the facilities at Swept Away (modest daily fee) for tennis, gym, aerobics, sauna, and pool. The staff will help you arrange trips to local attractions.

This beautiful property is often photographed and the warmth of the place has to be experienced to be believed. Firefly seems to capture the essence of this funloving and romantic little resort village.
