Firefly

I know that there will be good things that will come from the change of owners, and of course, I wish them luck; but no longer being CO will change the vibe of the place. The bohemian vibe is one of the things I loved most about FF even though I dont drop trou. It was like my shield against everythign and all the people that I dont want to be around when I'm in Negril...I just hope it doesn't turn into another place on the beach with beach chairs lined up practically on top of each other, filled with uptight people, kids and all the other things that "commercial" hotels cater to.

The new deck is about 6 or 7" off the sand and the it doubles the size of the bar area.

Are guests able to use the bar at this time during construction? Will it be ready for the 25th when the boardie get-together takes place? It sure looks nice so far.

Georgia,

No Worries! It will be ready in plenty of time - we wouldnt have scheduled the event there if there was a chance it would not be done in time.

[MikeyNYC]

Yes, the bar is open and it's business as usual, well aside from the construction. I believe they are trying to have it ready for the party but maybe someone else with more intimate knowledge of the situation (Rob?) could answer. They were working really fast. I'm bummed I'm gonna miss it because it looks to be a great place for the bash. Always next year.



edit: just saw that he snuck in ahead of me.

We really enjoyed our stay at firefly. CO is not a deal breaker for us but it was nice. We met some great people there and it was a very quiet, serene place. I like the looks of the new bar, we will be sure to stop for a drink in June when we visit.

Great - thanks Rob and Mikey

I hope the construction isn't too crazy and intrusive, we're going to be staying there starting the 19th. The new bar and deck area looks nice though.

Depends what your definition of crazy and intrusive is. I was inspired to paint this when I got back stateside.
