A romantic and wonderful spot that I have been going to for quite a
while (many years) is Firefly, which is in the middle of the 7 mile
beach. Far enough from the hot night spots that you can relax at night
and close enough that you can walk to them easily. It has many options
for housing, and I prefer the "chalet", which is separate, but has
everything that I could want. There are rustic and very cheap cabins,
and a great house that has some rather luxurious rooms, some with
balconies overlooking the ocean. Hot tub for evenings under the stars,
a good bar, and a staff that is extraordinary.

You can check them out at www.jamaicalink.com and see what the place is
really like. The owner has a section outlining what the good and bad
points to each housing unit are. Rare in the type of business they are
in. Mention that Dave from Vermont sent you, and you'll probably get
10% off the price listed, which can be very reasonable.

Take a look. I was sold the first time I went there.

And I have no interest in the place, other than to go there every year
and enjoy the romantic ambience that Firefly affords. It is a very
small property, and well maintained.

Sounds wonderful, Dave. I will keep Firefly in mind.

I hope someone can offer suggestions as to where to stay in Negril. My
girlfriend and I are around 30 years old and have a week's vacation in
early February. We know MoBay well and have consdered Ocho Rios, but I
always wanted to stay in Negril. There are no specials available right
now, but would it be a good idea to just take air only (from Canada)
and find somewhere (not too expensive) when we arrived? I know there
are lots of small hotels that don't advertise, and we want to be right
on the beach. Suggestions, anyone? Thanks!
