“Disappointment and lies”
+Sadly, nothing.
−I arrived at Firefly with my husband, but we chose not to stay because the property was dirty, unkempt and not as we had expected from the booking. The swimming pool was cloudy and smelled unpleasant. Various dirty items,including towels, a hat and utensils,were lying around. The accommodation was extremely basic and had a mattress on the floor. While this may have been part of the intended style, it was not made clear in the listing. There were also several steps up to the accommodation, creating an accessibility issue that had not been mentioned. The woman who met us explained that things were not ready and that supplies had run out because a group of students had recently stayed. The fridge was completely empty, with no soft drinks, beer or other refreshments available. For dinner, we were offered only chicken or pasta. We were told there was a “problem with fish” in Shimoni, despite it being a coastal fishing town with a newly built fishing port. Fried fish and prawns were readily available throughout the village, and we bought some as we left. Overall, we found the property dark, dirty and unpleasant, with access difficulties, extremely limited food, no real service and a swim

“People and scenery make this place very special!”
+I loved the place from the very first moment we arrived, so peaceful and beautiful. You can feel so close to nature and the staff were amazing and beyond helpful! I loved our tent too, specious and clean, but it was really hot and we definitely preferred to spend most of the time outdoors.

“A place to co be still, commune and relax within Nature”
+This eco rretreat has a wonderful location, and the manager Jacob is super helpful as I arrived unannounced to meet up with a sailing crew, and he helped with all our anchoring needs, kept our food in the fridge overnight, and so many other things. The food is great, tell them in advance you will be eating there. The tented rooms are comfortable and so peaceful. There are 2 family cottages, but I didnt see inside of those. It is lovely to stay in the forest, but beware monkey troupes which can overrun the camp at any time. the pool is huge and awesome to cool off
−I liked everything and plan to return to chill out in nature. It is an eco camp, so keep that in mind.. No air con, shared bathroom and shower block. Its a place to commune with nature and quiet

+Un petit coin de paradis les pieds dans l'eau. Parfait si vous voulez faire de la plonger. Merci pour votre gentillesse et votre adaptabilité. J'ai aussi beaucoup apprécié avoir un distributeur d'eau dans la chambre. Ca ne force pas à la consommation de dizaines de bouteilles d'eau en plastique.

+El desayuno era completo y cocinado al instante.Tortilla de hortalizas,tostadas,salchichas, café o té, mantequilla. La piscina, excelente opción para pasar un dia de relax en Shimoni. El ventilador de la tienda, imprescindible para poder estar dentro y la lámpara de la mesilla,creaba un ambiente cálido a la estancia.
−Hay monos en el bosque y entran en las tiendas cuando no hay nadie.Rebuscan comida y lo desparraman todo.De eso no te avisan en recepción por lo que para evitar sorpresas,lo mejor es poner un candado en las cremalleras de la tienda cuando no esteis. El wifi sólo funciona en las zonas comunes y aún así,va y viene.No es del todo fiable.
