Dear Liz
Dear Stan,
We would like to thank you one more time for the wonderful week we had a the Firefly. You have really created a very special place. Every detail in the rooms, the hotel and in the garden and the whole atmosphere is just fantastic. A big thank you also to your staff, without them and there good humour, the place would be missing something. We miss it already but on the same time we look forward to our next stay at your lovely "experience". Since our honeymoon this was the best week we had. You definitely got us addicted to the Firefly.
Our very best regards,
Dear Stan and Liz,
we are back to the real world and missing the firefly terribly! Thank you so much for the most amazing honeymoon. it was everything we were hoping for and more. We particularly want to thank Arian, Patrick, Keith, and Fish for their excellent service and style. You have a terrific business going and we're hoping to be back perhaps for our ten year anniversary.
Sincerely,
ps- i know you see tons of sunsets but i like this picture taken from the pool.

Dear Stan and Liz:
Well it's back to reality and the Charlotte way! We just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed the eight wonderful days in Mustique! Firefly is a place where you make life-long friends and memories that will last forever! The majesty of the island is really hard to explain to our friends and family here at home. The land and incredible sea leaves little doubt that there is a very talented Creator! But honestly, we wanted to thank you for the special way you made us feel at home there, and want you to know that we will tell everyone we come in contact with about your awesome hotel! Liz, I want to especially thank you for our send off from the roof of the airport! I saw you at the last minute and you brought me to tears! I was already feeling sad that I was leaving some great people, but that really touched my heart. Thank-you for the beautiful send-off, I will NEVER forget it. Well, best to all and we will keep in touch soon. Getting pictures together to send to you. Cheers and love to the staff.
Hi Stan, hi Liz,
Hope you are both well. Just a short note to say thank you for making our honeymoon extra special. We had an amazing time on Mustique and your Hotel was fantastic. Can you thank all the staff for us, in particular Arian, Patrick and Keith."
"Just wanted to say thank-you for a fabulous stay at the Firefly this month.
Never have we been left wanting for so little whilst on holidays - everything was taken care of! Returning to work was unbearable and I'm trying to stay in 'Firefly mode'. I've been wearing my Martini and Champagne club shirts with pride and may send you a pic for your gallery when I get the time.
Regards to yourselves and your excellent team,"
Dear Elizabeth and Stan,
"We just returned from a week at Firefly. What a wonderful inn. What a wonderful experience. We recommend it without reservation. First, let us address the only negative we read in any of the Trip Advisor reviews. One couple, around a year ago, said the only negative was disappointment in the dinners. We truly have no idea what these people were thinking or referring to. The food, including the dinners, were very, very good. Some of the consistently best we have had in the Caribbean. The chefs, including "Cookie", put together wonderful selections. We're from Washington, DC, eat in many fine restaurants, and the food measured up. Next, the staff. Arion, Roger, Patrick and the others. They are magnificent. Always a smile, always a laugh, always calling you by your first name, always there to provide whatever you ask for if they can. We truly came to like them all. They made us feel that it was our own guest house. The staff are a major asset of the Inn, and the best we've seen anywhere. Then, the premises. We stayed in Pineapple, but saw all the rooms, and each has it own uniqueness we loved.
Hummingbird probably has the best view. Treetop, a wonderful open-to-the-outside shower. Pineapple bigger with a unique indoor shower. Don't agonize over the choice. Each is truly nice. And, at night, when you return to your room, you will find a mosquito net drawn romantically around your bed, a flower on it, and candles lit around the room. What a surprise that was the first night!
The pool area is the nicest we have ever experienced. Almost like a tropical jungle with natural ponds and waterfalls set in the pacific. We loved it.
Spent one whole day just there, and most other days, we spent the late afternoons there. Wonderful views too. The island is beautiful. One of the loveliest we've seen in the Caribbean. Great to explore in your "mule" the Inn provides, and some wonderful beaches. We spent several days (in low
season) truly alone on one of the loveliest beaches we've seen in the Caribbean. Pasteur Bay. We've never seen such a lovely, large beach so deserted. Heaven. And, there are many, many others to explore. Our other favorites were Macaroni (the best swimming beach) and Lagoon (your classic Caribbean beach with palms and all). The Inn's owners, Stan and Elizabeth, make you feel very welcome and at home, regularly around and mingling with guests and making sure all is going well. And, you've got as much or as little night life as you want. The Inn is clearly the place for nightlife on the Island, and you can enjoy it, as we did several nights, or go to your room or the beach for privacy, as we also did. Be aware, if you do go to your room at night, you're likely to hear some partying from above, but it is not overly loud (at least in low season), and the owners close down the music at the time promised on their web site. A last suggestion. If you enjoy a combination of quiet and relaxation by day, and party life by night, the best time to go is probably the high season. We expect the Inn must provide quite a party at night at the height of the high season! If you like more quiet throughout the day and night, go in the low season - where even at night, you sense it is clearly quieter than in the high season - although you can still enjoy music and the company of others. You'll also get quieter beaches, we're sure. So...clearly...we think this is quite a place. Perhaps our single most enjoyable get away as a couple. We visited the Cotton House while on Mustique, and while it may appeal to certain tastes, we personally concluded there was no contest. The Firefly is the place to stay on Mustique."
Dear Stan and Elizabeth,
Thank you so much for providing us the "Perfect" honeymoon. Things could not have been more perfect and we are already planning our return visit. Say hello to everyone for us.
Sincerely,
Back in Blighty facing the cold glinting switch blade of reality & still thinking of Mustique! We can't thank you enough for the most idyllic time spent at Firefly. Your attention to detail & understanding of privacy made the start of our married life an exciting, fun & carefree experience. Please again pass on our appreciation to all your staff.
My wife Kristi and I just wanted to write you a note expressing how thankful we are to you and your staff for providing us with such a wonderful, and care free week for our Honeymoon.
Reflecting back on the stay there is really nothing we would want to change. The peace and serenity that we were able to enjoy while in Mustique are really quite indescribable ( to folks that have not seen it first hand ) . I have yet to be able to put into words the value of such a vacation. It provided us with a much needed break from our everyday environment.
We certainly hope to be back in the future and look forward to re-aquainting ourselves with the Firefly. Please extend our thanks to all of your staff who did such a wonderful job making our stay so effortless and carefree.
Best regards,
Simon & I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone at the Firefly for helping to make our honeymoon so special. The guys did everything possible to make sure we had a great time and everyone we met there was fantastic company (apologies to Patrick and the team for the late night, Martini induced, Anglo-American rowdiness!!). The Firefly really is Mustique's best kept secret and we hope that it stays that way. Hope to see you all again soon.
We had an absolutely wonderful time once again at the Firefly. You looked after us so well and made us feel like we were living in our dream home in the Caribbean. Your attention to detail is superb and the "service with a smile" from the staff surpasses any other hotel or lodgings we have been in through our extensive travels. You can be assured that we will be returning to visit you for many more years and hopefully very soon. We are already missing our daily chats at the bar. Furthermore, we had read about the famous Mustique goodbyes and it brought a tear to our eye to have our Firefly friends at the airport to see us off. Stan, we will be in touch soon to confirm the dates for next year. Lots of love to you all.
"We hope you enjoyed the holidays. We would have enjoyed them more had we spent them in Mustique! We truly had an amazing time there. Everything about our trip was perfect. Thank you for that! We fell in love with the CD in our room there by Sunny Jim, so we found it online and ordered it. When the song about Mustique came on last night, I had tears in my eyes. What an effect Mustique, the Firefly, and everyone there has had on me! Please tell everyone that Bill and I send our regards. We hope to see you again sometime soon. Best to you, Lauren"
Dear Stan and Elizabeth:
I hope we fully communicated how much we loved our stay with you, and how extraordinary we think the Firefly and Mustique are. The beauty, character and comfort of the Fire Fly are all outstanding. And you and Elizabeth and your staff add a great personal dimension to the stay. I wanted to emphasize how well we were treated by all of your staff, but Arian and Daniel in particular.
Thank you so much for the wonderful time at the Firefly during our honeymoon. Words can not describe the incredible experience and memories, we'll share forever. You really do put on quite a show. The staff and hosts were polite and professional. We're looking forward to returning to Mustique in the near future. I asked Tami, who has stayed at Five-star hotels before and she said this stay was an Eight on the scale. Well, once again thank you. Please give our regards to the staff.
Dear Stan and Elizabeth:
We just had to write and thank you for making our honeymoon unbelievably wonderful. When we were searching for a place to begin our honeymoon we wanted to make sure it was a place where we could relax and not worry about any details. Mustique and the Firefly were beyond our wildest dreams. The island is so romantic and seclusive that we thought the beaches were for our own private enjoyment. The Firefly was like a dream come true -- the food was always delicious (especially the "sunset fries") and the atmosphere was fun and relaxing at the same time. We had a wonderful time exploring the island on our "mule", although nothing could surpass our romantic picnic lunch at the beach or dinner in the gazebo. Our friends are all jealous of the wonderful pictures of the sunset we took from the bar. We included a picture of us in front of the entrance to the Firefly. We would be remiss if we did not thank the people who made it such a wonderful trip -- Keith, Patrick, Daniel and the rest of your staff were beyond attentive and truly made it a special occasion. They made us feel like old friends and consistently went above and beyond what we could expect, always catering to our every need, without us even asking. Please tell them we say hello and extend our sincere gratitude to them. Between them and the island itself, our honeymoon was truly unforgettable. We can't wait to come back! Thanks again.
.
This is a place where the reality lives up to the reviews and claims. The service was impeccable. The hosts and staff are efficient, warm and friendly.
The views from the hotel are stunning. The rooms have every amenity you might need. The pool area is delightful. You will relax totally while here. The best thing is that there is absolutely no attitude or pretentiousness from anyone here. Mustique itself is like a little paradise.
Stan and Elizabeth -
We want to thank you for a wonderful vacation. The Firefly exceeded our expectations in every way. It provided a perfect blend of relaxation, indulgence and fun - exactly what we were looking for. It's tough to imagine a better setting to get away from it all. We're quite sure you'll see us again. Say hello to Patrick and the guys. They really made us feel comfortable.
Rattled by business and commerce and travel
Life has its stresses, leads to unravel
Plan an escape, take a month or a week
Just be sure when you land you land in Mustique
Villas are great, though not part of my plan
Think I'll drop in on Elizabeth and Stan
Their aim is to please, help you unwind
They do it so well, their manner so kind
Check in to the Firefly and spirits will soar
Drop by the lounge where Patrick will pour
Champagne or martini whichever your flavor
Sit back and relax it's time you should savor
Read a book take a nap, relax with some tea
Swing in a hammock beneath a flowery tree
There's no place on earth you'd rather be
When you leave the Firefly you'll be thinking this thought:
I leave with a smile, not the stresses I brought
And perhaps you'll know why they say this as well:
This was an experience, not an hotel.
Stan,
thanks again for everything. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back.
We had such a wonderful time at the Firefly and exploring the island of Mustique! I forgot to tell you that the bed in the Treehouse was soo comfortable as were the soft pillows! I sometimes have back problems, but I felt great waking up there! Now its back to the cold...we are supposed to get a lot of snow tomorrow and this weekend. Please give our best to : Arion, Patrick, Keith and "Cookie"....and could you ask "Cookie" for his recipe for his passion fruit salad dressing? He said he would give me it, but we left too soon. Thank you! We miss the Firefly, and we will send a digital photo of me in my champagne -club shirt, as soon as I think of something special! Thank you so much again
Just to say a great big thank you to both of you and all your wonderful staff who looked after us during our stay last week.The beach picnic on our anniversary day was perfect. The whole stay was perfect and we are coming back next year for Lisa's birthday. Please say hello to all the boys and girls especially Cleo, Patrick, Arian and Keith. Hope to see you soon Regards,
Thank you for making our Christmas holiday so special. We had a fantastic time and made lots of great new friends.
Mustique has always been our favourite Island, but as the Sinead O'Connor song goes "Nothing Compares to U", when it comes to service, surroundings and atmosphere. What a great bar to share a few cocktail lists with friends and to make new ones! Including the boys serving us the drinks.
We will wear our Martini and Champagne club shirts with lots of pride and happy memories.
Firstly, we must apologise for taking so long to respond back to you both since our wonderful honeymoon at the Firefly. Emma and I had a simply fantastic time. Mustique surpassed all our expectations, it truly is a magical island, and coupled with the level of service you and your excellent staff offer, gave us two weeks we shall never forget. We shall return back one day, and that's a promise! Please pass on our best regards to Patrick, Cleon & Keith, they are a credit to you. Best wishes,
Thank you so much for the most wonderful, most relaxing vacation we've ever experienced. We will always cherish our honeymoon at the Firefly, and are looking forward to celebrating an anniversary on Mustique! Best regards,
We just wanted to thank you so much for the fantastic time we had at Firefly, everything was just superb. Ambience, food, service etc etc, dinner in the gazebo was divine.
Mustique is just such a beautiful island and was a wonderful place to have our honeymoon. We just can't wait to go back again.
We've had such a memorable honeymoon experience at the "Fly" that we're going to make it an annual event !! Your staff helped us feel welcome and we certainly feel like we were part of the Firefly family. Thank you for making our honeymoon extraordinary!
Thank you again for a wonderful time. The Firefly is our favourite place of all time! We can't imagine being anywhere else for our honeymoon. And, we hope to visit again soon! Best Regards,
WOW! We are having serious Firefly withdrawals - we miss everything and everyone so much! Please say hi to everyone for us and let them know we miss them all. I am not exaggerating when I tell you I cried on the plane to Barbados! We truly had a wonderful honeymoon. The Firefly and all your staff far exceeded any expectations we had - and we all know I am hard to please. I am already bugging Chris to book our next trip - whenever it is, it won't be soon enough. Thank you for everything - we feel like we left a piece of us at the Firefly and will most definitely be back... Fondly,
"We had such an incredible wedding and without the two of you that would just not have been possible. Everything about the day was fantastic and we can only thank you for being such an integral part of our day. We will never forget Mustique, The Firefly or either of you. Again our most heartfelt thanks for the most important of memories. we hope to see you soon, all the very best and thanks again."
Hi Stan and Liz,
Andrew and I wanted to thank you again for a most memorable trip to Mustique. We will most definitely be back as Firefly was simply the perfect (PERFECT!!) vacation spot. Thanks so very much again and we will definitely return next year, without a doubt!! All the best,
"A belated note to you all, with our thanks for making our honeymoon magical. We will not soon forget the incredible sights, sounds & people of Mustique, especially our new Firefly friends."
Just wanted to thank you both for an amazing honeymoon at the Firefly. We loved every second of our honeymoon, we had such a good time and we are still talking about it now. Everything was perfect.
Hi there,
Mercer and I just wanted to thank you both again for an unforgettable 2 weeks at Firefly! Mustique is the ideal honeymoon spot and it was beyond perfect thanks to everyone there.
Hello Stan And Liz,
I wanted to thank you both again for your wonderful hospitality at the Firefly. Our honeymoon was the most unforgettable trip. We could not have enjoyed our stay with you any more than we did. Mustique is our new favorite place on the planet and we will visit again soon.
We would like to thank you both once again for a superb holiday with you at the Firefly.
Emma & I are lucky enough to have stayed at a number of great hotels in superb locations in the past, but we can honestly say that we have never stayed at such a superb all round hotel (sorry experience!)as yours. Luxurious enough without being pretentious, friendly staff without being in your face, great food, especially from Emma's point of view, superb attention to detail, from the pre travel tips to things like why you don't serve Lobster & environmentally produced Shampoos/insect spray Etc. Anyway we really enjoyed the Hotel, the bar & all those drinks, your staff & your company.
Both Nicole and I must say that this most recent trip exceeded all expectations and in many ways was a rare example of being "better than the first time"! With all due respect to our Honeymoon, this last visit was absolutely magical...
The people we met there, the experience...amazing. I must also commend your staff as being unfailingly gracious, Patrick, Davis, Cleon, Aryan and Keith make everything perfect, especially the drinks! Patrick is a prince, please tell him Nicole and I send our best. On the plane ride home still drunk on the memories of Firefly, it struck me that it really is true..."not an hotel - an experience".
"Hey everybody! Just wanted to tell you guys we were blown away by the accomodations, the scenery and the hospitality shown on the island of Mustique. Thank you so much for showing us the best vacation we have experienced to date. "
...a quick thank you for your gracious hospitality. Both Dana and I arrived on Mustique with expectations high for the week and suffice it to say they were readily exceeded. The good nature, the attentive service, the enchanting ambience et al served to make our visit a memorable one and I wanted to personally thank the both of you for working hard to this end. We have vowed to make our visit to the Firefly a yearly one (if you'll have us) and look forward to seeing both of you soon. Thanks for everything.
Warm regards,
Stan & Elizabeth,
Hello, I hope you are doing well! I wanted to thank you for such an incredibly wonderful stay. We were guests at the end of November 2002. We can't wait to come back to Mustique and of course, stay at the Firefly. I hope that the lovely home you are building is moving right along. I'm sure like your "guest house," it too will be magnificent.
Thanks so much!
Dear Stan & Elizabeth,
Just a note to say how very much we enjoyed our visit to Mustique and our
stay at the your lovely Firefly! I miss everyone! Friends have been asking
and coming over to see photos and the book and I rave about the unique
environment and all that we did.
"The most romantic and relaxed bar in the world"
Dear Stan and Elizabeth,
Just a quick note of thanks for a wonderful week at the Firefly. It surpassed our expectations of what the perfect honeymoon could be. We will highly recommend it as the perfect getaway to anyone who asks! Sincerely.
Dear Stan and Elizabeth
A week has passed since we left your idyllic island and memorable 'experience. Many thanks for making our stay so relaxed and happy, we shall not forget Mustique!!
We both thoroughly enjoyed our holiday, and I cannot think of a better place in the world that we could have been. It was a pleasure meeting your friends, and the other guests, and I hope that we may meet them again in the not too distant future. You are extremely lucky to have such friendly and affable staff, who enhanced the whole experience. Please pass on my thanks to Patrick and George, and we hope to hurry back soon.
Hi Stan and Elizabeth -
Just wanted to drop a note to let you know what a wonderful vacation we had. Mustique is a unique island and we hope it stays that way. The Firefly was great - can't wait to return! It was a home away from home but would not have been that way without both of you! You made us -- and all the other guests that were there -- feel so welcomed. The Firefly was elegant but casual - the atmosphere was warm, cozy, romantic and fun.
Matthew and I (Kristin) had our honeymoon their in May. We think of you guys often, we had such a wonderful time and hope to someday return again. So many great memories.
Your restaurant is one of the highlights of our trips, and I wanted to let you know. We travel with another couple, and the 4 of us had a great time - I ended up playing the piano for some time after dinner - in your place. Also, unlike some other beautiful spots (Cotton House, and PSV come to mind), you are not completely absurd in your pricing. Thanks for contributing to some wonderful times.
Elizabeth:
Thanks to you, our stay at Firefly has been a most memorable experience. I have been recommanding your hotel to everyone I know and have been describing it as the most romantic experience in my life.
Dear Stan,
Thankyou and your brilliant staff for making our visit so enjoyable.
Dear Stan and Liz
Angela and I would like to thank you for everything. We don't know where to start really, you made every single thing perfect for us and we won't be able to thank you enough. Trying to describe our wedding, Firefly and Mustique itself is impossible, we could never do it justice.
Dear Stan and Elizabeth,
Just wanted to drop a quick note and let you know my thanks and appreciation for your gracious hospitality while we were down in Mustique. Best wishes to you and all the folks and friends at Firefly. You both have hearts bigger than the tabs of your heavily imbibed patrons. The smiles and laughs you share are carried around the world as we hope one day to be lucky enough to return and share them again. Best Wishes.
Stan and Elizabeth,
After visiting Petit St. Vincent and the Cotton House we discovered the Firefly and must say that your place definitely ranks at the top of our list. We loved the party atmosphere, the pool and views were beautiful and the "Treehouse" was awesome. The meals at the Firefly were far above any others we had in the Grenedines. We only regret we didn't discover it sooner so we could stay longer! The Firefly is truly a unique experience, one we will never forget and we hope to return again one day soon. The charter with Phil and Nicola was a lot of fun. They are a great couple, thanks for recommending them to us. We're having a great time with the Splendid Adventurer CD also! Give Thomas and Eric a hug for us and thanks again for a wonderful vacation at the Firefly.
Dear Stan,
And let me tell you, you didn't do justice to your hotel, it is probably the best resort we have ever seen.
Dear Stan and Elizabeth,
Forgive me for being remiss in sending thanks for your wonderful, kind and repectful hospitality. Lorand and I did, indeed, have an experience at the Firefly. You have an amazingly gorgeous spot and run the hotel with superb hospitality. Thank you!!!
The best place I have ever been.
Fantastic atmosphere - A treasure I'll be back.
Wonderful place for a wonderful holiday.
The Firefly is the Caribbean at it's very best.
Exquisite, peaceful, magnificent and above all therapeutic.
The best in the Caribbean.
Mustique is "the" place in the Caribbean, Firefly is a "paradise" in Mustique.
A Caribbean "oasis" of hospitality.
Your Firefly is a paradise.
Mustique and more especially the Firefly are what dreams are made of.
This place is one of the most outstanding in the Caribbean.
What a magical stay, far exceeding our expectations.
The most charming, elegant and special hideaway we've seen.
Incredible place ! Loved the room, the food, the service and the view.
Exquisite - and the best food in Mustique.
A more beautiful place I (we) have never visited, paradise on earth.
