Top Bright Water Hotel Reviews

The Lighthouse Resort Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The room was cool and comfortable. Had a fridge, and a stove and cooking/dining implements if needed. Plenty of towels, and you can take them to the beach. The central location in FMB's "tourist area" is very convenient. You're a three minute walk from the beach, and near a lot of the remaining businesses. I really only had two issues and they were slight: No kleenex in the room, and the fans in the Tiki Bar. They're pretty dirty, and not very effective in the severe humidity we had every day. Speaking of the Tiki Bar, all the ladies tending bar were doing an excellent job. It was the liveliest spot on the Island, full of locals and people from neighboring hotels. Music plays well into the night, but with the A/C cranked and my little fan on, it didn't affect my sleep. Overall, it was an excellent place to stay."
