The solutions to your diophantine equation known due to Nagell. I have in front of me Paulo Ribenboim's "My Numbers, My Friends" from which I quote:
Theorem. If $m > 2$, the only non-zero solutions of $X^2 + X + 1 = 3 Y^m$ are $x = 1$ and $x = -2$. If $m = 2$, there are also the solutions $$x = \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\left((2+\sqrt{3})^{2n+1} - (2-\sqrt{3})^{2n+1}\right) - \frac{1}{2}$$ for $n =0, 1, \dots$.
The $m = 2$ case is quite clear: multiply through by $4$ and note that the given equation is equivalent to $$(2X+1)^2 - 3(2Y)^2 = -3$$ Put $X' = 2Y$ and $Y' = (2X+1)/3$ so that you get $$X'^2 - 3Y'^2 = 1$$ and $2 + \sqrt{3}$ is the fundamental unit in the real quadratic field $\mathbf{Q}(\sqrt{3})$.
