Joseph Williams, New York, USA, May 2010
Thank you Staff of Secrets for a memorable stay in Negril , Jamaica . Being my first visit to the country, the hospitality of the people, right from the airport to the hotel room was remarkably warm, friendly, and relaxing. The well-tended garden, the layout of the place, the location (right on the beach!), the business operations of accommodation, the room cleanliness and hygiene, and the services of the bar were all A+!
I would like to stress on the helpful office staff that went out of their way of normal operations to solve a serious situation I had during my stay. Hats off to Secrets!
I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a cozy, non-commercial, budget-minded, yet uncompromising stay in Negril Beach , Jamaica .
Ya Mon! Respect!
Samuel Lionnet, France - May 2009
Nicola and all the staff of the Secrets Cabins on Negril Beach, thank you very much for those amazing 3 weeks in Jamaica. I will never forget about this wonderful time, thank you so much again. It's was my first time but not my last time for sure.
I will come back be certain of that. It's an outstanding location on the beach, early morning to late at night, I think that I have maybe find my little paradise, thanks again for those fantastic 3 weeks. Thumbs up for all of you guys.
Merci.
Madeleine Donaldson - Glasgow, UK, May 2009
Very basic but served a purpose, ie a bed to sleep in. Great location, clean accommodation and lovely gardens, but beware the mosquitos! The staff here were the best we encountered in the three places we stayed at in negril, and one of those was one of the top hotels in the west end. would definitely recommend Secrets to people.
Timo Komi - Sweden, April 2009
This is really great so familiar and the staff really feels like a part of a big family. simple but relaxed and Maxine and the other people who work there help you with everything! Full pot from me!
Jessica Brint -Ohio, USA, March 2009
My vacation at Secrets Cabins) was by far the best vacation I have ever been on. Maxine and Shawn make you feel at home, the security is awesome, and it is an awesome time in Negril. We are definitely going back soon!
Thank you.
From Spencer Rayner, Washington, USA, April 2009
Dear Nicola,
Immediately, I was made to feel very welcome at Secrets and would like to thank everyone for making my holiday such a wonderful one.
Traveling alone it was great to meet others like me as well as families.
Maxine and Shawn did a first class job taking care of me at the bar, Jasmine made my room smell so clean, and DC and Jerome did a great job at night.
All you ladies in the office helped me when I needed it and Joan scrambled
it together like a trooper when I needed a cab to the airport at the last
minute. Please, tell Joan I made it in time.
Thank You very much,
Spencer
From Don Weisenberger, February 2009
Prophetstown, Illinois
Dear Joan & Nicola,
I made my second visit to Secrets in early February and it renewed my feelings of why I needed to come back. I had such fond memories from my first visit that when my plane got over the ocean and I knew I was on my way, I got tears in my eyes.
It's a place you can feel at home while you’re away from home. I lost my wife about eight years ago but each time couples there would invite me to do things with them so I never felt alone.
Just having people remember you from before is special. Shawn and Maxine do a great job making you feel like family also. Just keep doing what you've been doing and God willing I'll see you next year. In the meantime I send my love.
From D'Arcy and Denise Ballinger, 20th September 2008
"With all of the different places to visit in the world, I would always wonder why people return to the same place time after time.
After visits to the Secrets Cabins, I now know why. There are many reasons to return. The feeling of comfort is important. The feeling of safety is important. The consistency in personnel also important. All of these qualities are at Secrets.
From our first stay we have felt like a part of the Secrets extended family. Oh, if we could visit more often.
From the first day to the sad day we have to leave, we have made friends as trusting as the ones we have known all of our lives in Illinois.
Best bar! Best location! Best staff! We miss you all daily.
I would love to list all names but for fear of leaving someone out we will say - from Mr. Jerry to Curtis and all in between, we hope to see you soon"

Without a doubt we'll be back."

From SH in a report 28th December 2007
I have stayed at Secrets (located) at Firefly twice this year. $40 a nite. Perfect for me. Shared bathroom facilities right outside the door. The best people and nicest location on the beach. Maxine and Shawn , the bartenders whip up a mean fruit punch and they also cook some great food. Try the pancakes, eggs and Maxine's special, " Toad in a Hole". Super bar and a lot of regulars are always at the bar. Walking distance to the Jungle, Roots and Alfred's, but far enough away that the music never bothers you at nite. Firefly also has rooms for a little more $$ , with all the usual stuff and I have stayed in those one time and was very satisfied , but I like the cabins more.''
2007, from Ed H.
.....cabins they call Secrets. Clean Cozy and very inexpensive, nothing else like them on the beach. They have a lot of fruit trees on the property.....the Jamaican apples will be in season. An outstanding friendly staff. A beautiful garden.

The majority of my stay in Jamaica was at Secrets cabin in Negril, from the moment we arrived there I have never been met by such a warm welcome. Everyone is friendly and are willing to talk to you, give you help with any questions or queries that you might have. The hotel is located on Norman Manley Boulevard, about five (5) minutes from the town, making it an easy location for shops and leisure.
The rooms are clean and cosy and provide a true Jamaican flavour which is convenient as the beach is only two footsteps away. You can enjoy food down at the water edge and watch the sunset. Additionally, there is music that will get you in the vibe ( if the coldest Red Stripe in the world doesn't).
(Secrets) is very reasonably priced, and with this it makes itself a contender of value here in Negril.

I was absolutely amazed with the quality of Secrets! My two
best friends and I decided to go on spring break because it was the last
chance we would get to spend a lot of time together. I stumbled
upon
Secrets and actually knew some people that stayed there. They had
nothing but good things to say about it. It was the cheapest place
we
found, and as college kids, that's important. Before we went, we
didn't care where we stayed. However, now that we've been there,
we
know that it was the only place to stay. Secrets is right in the
middle
of everything. They have the cheapest beer, the friendliest staff,
and
the most affordable rates. I actually cried the last day I was there.
Maxine was the greatest bartender! I miss the island, I miss the
people, and most of all I miss the resort. My girlfriend and I are
planning a trip for next year already. One of these years, it will
be
the honeymoon. I can't wait to get back. Thank you for all of the
memories! |

From David Higgenbottom, Calgary, January 2006.
"I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Secrets. The people were great and the
service even better.
I made many new friends, and I'm impressed by the warm family-friendly
atmosphere. There were a number of families here - all of whom were having a
great time.
I will be back!"

| My first visit to Negril was in 1970. Secrets
has the flavour of a Jamaica 30 years ago. |
|
| From JG, February 2005 |
| A secret place to go which doesn't exist anywhere
else. |
|
| From Todd, February 15th
2005. |
| I really enjoyed my stay in Jamaica. It was the
most relaxed I think I have ever been. Tell the girls at the
bar 'Hi' for me. They did a great job my entire visit. It was
nice to wake up to a friendly face every morning" |
|
| From
M. K February 2005. |
| I had a great time, everyone was so friendly.
I am thinking of a longer stay 2-04-06 to 3-01-06 in same cabin |
|
| From Mike, |
| Secrets (is a ) great place, 30 second walk to
the beach. You get a small shack with a bed, desk, lamp and
fan. The shared bathroom is close and clean. Their beach is
clothing optional. I spent a week there by myself and really
loved it. |
|
| From S. Q, |
| Secrets (I) always have fun there. Very friendly
staff. |
|
| From Jerry Gone
Bananas, |
| Ahh, my first two stays were
at Secrets cabins, you just don't get a more irie flavor than
that...OK, minor downside: having to walk to the loo to return
the rented Red Stripes in the wee hours, but other than that,
it's heaven. My first day ever in Negril. I was walking on air
and extremely happy, the courtyard of Firefly was my paradise
and the lagoon was my lover. |

I stayed at Firefly on the same property and thought Secrets
cabins were really cute and would definitely consider stay there.
I was in the Jacuzzi every night loved it & saw the showers/bathrooms
for Secrets and wished I could use them. They were just a few
steps away from the cabins and were really clean and sunny.
The beach is right there. |

Re: Secrets Cabins
In Response To: Secrets Cabins (Curious)
I spent a week there. You get a 10 foot square shack with a
light, fan, desk and a bunk bed. The beach is about 100 to 150
feet away. The showers (outside) are a few steps away as are
the bathrooms. They have a nice Jacuzzi but I thought it was
too hot. Their beach is clothing optional. They have a bar on
the beach with free coffee in the morning. I loved it. It's
bare bones, dirt cheap and staffed
by great people. It was the best week of my life. |

| From
Jerry,
on the Negril Message Board, |
| Seems like I've loved Negril as long as I've loved
some kinds of music. I needed a bona-fide vacation, albeit
max cheap. I reserved a little Secrets cabin at
Firefly, and the rest is my own personal history.
There's nothing like Firefly. Gawd I miss it. My
4th trip was Jane's first. |

"Besides Roots (Bamboo), there's a little (but clean, cozy and
comfortable) Secrets cabins at Firefly. Much more private and
peaceful than Roots. Contact Karen or Joan, they're great"

(in response to Jane.) |
"Jane; I stayed a week at Secrets last March and absolutely
loved the place. It's a little on the rustic side, but very
clean, safe and cheap, and in a a great beachfront location.
And the staff is made up of some of the friendliest people I've
ever met. I'd highly recommend it."
|
| From
U.R. |
|
"For
budget -minded travellers, they have four basic 'no-frills'
cabins that share toilet and shower facilities. For anyone looking
for dirt-cheap accommodations on the beach, they can't be beat.
The grounds surrounding the place are very well-kept and have
lots of gorgeous flowers. The location is ideal, with lots
of good restaurants within an easy walk. There is no pool but
they do have a very nice hot tub for use in the evenings and
late into the night."
|
| From
Jerry of ATL |
|
| "...of
course the name Secrets won't be appropriate for long, but that's
OK. There are 4 cabins, obviously dating from the opening of
the property eons ago... very clean, comfortable, and possibly
the most solid structures in Westmoreland. Need to ride out
a hurricane? No problem. You go across the courtyard to shower,
to the right to the bathrooms, jacuzzi to the left. A few steps
down Firefly's beautiful path to the beach.... they're sheltered
from the sun by trees which also provide the bird-and-treefrog
chorus after an afternoon rain. I kept a soft vinyl cooler in
the room to provide cold juice and Stripes. Security on property
every night. The property is "down" the beach a ways from the
night action - Alfred's, Risky, Roots, DeBuss - but it's a pleasant
walk on the beach. Bring a small flashlight and your common
sense, you'll be fine. I personally haven't stayed at Roots,
but if you're looking for peace & quiet you obviously won't
get it there on bashment nights. Up front at the bar Stripes
are 2/ 100J and, well, in general, everything about Firefly
/ Secrets is as welcoming as it could be. Much respect to Joan,
Karen, and, although we haven't met, David." |

In Response To: Secrets Cabins (Curious)
I've stayed there, and my daughter stayed there when she graduated from McGill.
We all have loved it, and find it to be the best value in Negril. Clean, good ,
close facilities (much improved from a few years ago!) and all the amenities
that you need. You're getting a lot of the things that people pay hundreds for,
at a REALLY low price, and the best section of beach. Great staff, secure and
safe, and quite romantic. It really grows on you.

From Norlaine Thomas
We just wanted to let you know what a fabulous time we had at Secrets. The Secrets cabin we were in was very
cosy - absolutely everything we needed. The whole place is
lovely. Very clean and well-kept. The staff are so helpful
and friendly. One of our favourite memories is of the
morning when the gardener cut open a coconut from the garden
for us and we had fresh coconut milk on the beach for
breakfast.
The flowers in the garden are beautiful. The whole place
was so comfortable. We met many fellow Canadians among the
guests and made some new friends. It was just the best
holiday we could have hoped for!
Dornette did a fabulous job on my hair - I get so many
comments on it! Chalder, you made
everything flow so smoothly from the time we arrived at the
airport in Montego Bay and found Mr. Jerry waiting to bring
us to Firefly, until we left to return home.
We have truly discovered Paradise! We aren't sure how we'll
manage it, but we definitely want to come back - again and
again and again. Thank you!!!! |
