Perfect for a quick visit! So close to the beach! Loud at night and only one pool is open right now and gets crowded. The Tiki Bar has great entertainment. The rooms were great, little dated, but totally acceptable. The beach makes it all worth it!

Unsupervised children in the pool swinging water noodles while their parents were at the bar. Only hotel guests should have access to the pool.

The room was spacious and very clean. You have all you need because the owner thought in everything. The location was awesome too. The beach just across street and a lot of entertainment places to go around. I will go back for sure.

Hotel was clean and staff very nice. They are currently under construction, rebuilding part of hotel that was damaged during hurricane. Only downside currently is the pool is open to the public and gets very crowded. Tiki is open until 2am so if you’re staying close to pool area it is loud.

I would never go back. I walked in at 2:30pm check to see if my room was available if it wasn’t it wasn’t a big deal I was willing to just go sit at that ok I and start my vacation the girl said it was almost ready she would text me when it was ready, well I saw her leave so it has been over a hour so owner and checked and that’s where the nasty jerk I was greeted with started with a attitude got mad at me before I even got a sentence out, not the way anyone wants treated upon arrival, they didn’t have two pools like started in their ad, rooms were beaten up to all hell, not from hurricane just from guests and not being kept up, the absolute only amenity and good thing about this place is the tiki bar and their staff they were amazing!!!! And the fact you could walk anywhere. The shower literally had a trickle of water I mean a trickle everything needs a facelift badly!! Especially their staff at the office the guy with curly hair in the back was a complete tool! The ladies were nice but he was a jerk and so was the general manager!! Won’t be back.

What a great little gem of a resort! They are still rebuilding a lot but the suite we stayed in was updated and spacious. The shower water pressure and temperature was awful but I’m sure that has to do with rebuilding. My only dislike is the pool is open to the public and it seemed like most in the pool area weren’t even staying at the resort. Many locals we talked to at the pool said they specifically go to the tiki bar to swim in the pool. On the flip side though, the pool always seemed cleaned and taken care for. I can’t wait to come back and see the resort fully finished with their second pool open (which the locals told us is the pool that is only for resort guests.)

Pretty good value for Fort Myers Beach in March (great location next to the beach). On site Tiki Bar is fun but can be loud if you’re turning in early. Property is a little worn but it’s a reminder of old Florida. Be sure to walk the bridge to great dining options and views (Dixie Fish and Bonita Bill’s).

Everyone there from the staff and other guests were super hospitable and friendly. Bed was comfy and room was adequate. Overall clean except floors could have used a little better attention. Bar and pool with live music was awesome! Close to beach and walkable to a ton of things. Fort Myers is on its way back!

Perfect location. Easy walk to beach, restaurants, and shopping. Our room was nice, comfortable beds and pillows. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Keep in mind that they are still recovering and rebuilding from Ian, so in some areas still needs work, but overall great experience and will definitely stay again.

Tiki bar, pool area way too busy and noisy for us seniors. Parking very limited, but they do have an employee in the lot directing people where to park. Some of the rooms are nice, but we only stayed a couple of nights and opted for a less expensive room. We were in 113 which is so tiny, but if you’re looking for a place to just sleep for a couple of nights, it works.

Lighthouse resort was very nice with large, two room suite and kitchen. Nicely decorated, great air conditioning and convenient to beach and downtown Fort Myers activities and restaurants. Fort Myers beach area was still undergoing some renovations but had open ice cream and souvenir shops and plenty of places to eat. Lighthouse has a small open pool area right next to the Tiki Bar with music and available food and drink. Parking was a HUGE plus with private space and guard protecting against random people parking there and was FREE with your stay. Staff was friendly and helpful but only available until 10pm. They did have a night person that is available on the property and came to the aid of a loud spring breaker across the way that was locked out of their room. The price for this excellent room was very affordable compared to the Margaritaville across the street for double the price. Only down side was that elevator was still down and walking up 4 flights of stairs with luggage was a small work out but needed after all the food we ate! This was a great property and we will definitely go back again.

The resort itself has bounced back nicely since the hurricane. Room was quaint and clean and had everything we needed. The only issue was the WiFi. We struggled to use that the entire stay. It's a great location within walking distance to most restaurants and right across the street from the beach and Nextdoor to JB Margaritaville. But overall, I would stay again.

Great stay!!! I will describe it as a work in progress. It was great to see the progress that has been made in the Ft. Myers. The few times we asked for assistance it was taken care of immediately. Staff were good. Only thing I would suggest would to do a walk around of each room and look at the little things in the rooms. Ex. Light bulbs that are different from others right next to each other in sockets and screws missing from electrical and light switch plates. Definitely would stay again. Close to every thing on the north side.

The property was in a very convenient location for walking. The staff was very friendly and helpful. If you like the party life the tiki bar was the place to be however very loud in the rooms until 11 pm. Not suggested for young children needing to sleep. Also, the air conditioning units are very loud.
