Loved the Tiki bar (which is open until 2am) and pool. Unfortunately the main pool was closed due to waiting for permits. Room was great with a nice balcony area. Parking is tight especially on the weekend. Close to beach, restaurants & bars. Would definitely stay here again.

I booked this resort mostly for the waterfall pool, on arrival we found out it was being work on and not in use, the smaller pool was next to the bar and was I use, but not a comfortable space, next to the loud bar.

we stayed from April 9 - 11th of 2025. Drinks were great, food was good. They gave us a bigger room when we checked in and we were able to check in a couple hours early. What an awesome way to start a vacation!! $5.00 bloody marys were fantastic!

Property sits close to downtown area and beach which makes it easily accessible. They only have one pool open with limited seating. Second pool is under construction. The one day we had our room cleaned, bedding was not changed. The main factor is the noise. Live music, karakoe, DJ so unbelievably loud after 7pm. Goes on for hours. Even with the air on and bedroom door closed it’s like sitting in the bar. Resort surrounds the the tiki bar so beware of the noise before booking.

It was a family girl’s trip. The room was spacious, clean, and comfy. The pool is on the smaller side and very busy, but it wouldn’t stop me from staying there again. Very convenient to beach and restaurants.

The first thing you should know about the Lighthouse is that it's a party hotel. That's not necessarily a bad thing; presumably that's why people go there, but be aware that it's centered around a loud bar that doesn't get quiet until midnight. It's not right on the beach, but it's just across the street which is still quite close. The room was spacious, and unlike many hotels, there was ample furniture for our needs. Our room had a lot of problems though. The blinds didn't work, one of the lamps was missing the knob to turn it on, the doorknob to the closet was completely shot, and the front door deadbolt made it hard to close the front door without really shoving it hard. I'm willing to cut them some slack for hurricane damage, but they've been open for two years now and they still haven't fixed all these issues. They tell you that the maid only makes your bed if you ask, which is fine. However, they didn't replace our in-room coffee, shampoo, etc. I mentioned it to the staff and they were kind of snarky about it, telling me that I should have read the fine print. The hotel restaurant/bar doesn't open until 9:00, so if you need to leave earlier than that you'll need to make other plans. Furthermore, there are surprisingly few food options in the vicinity, the best being in the Margaritaville Hotel across the street.
