The room was gorgeous and the staff were very attentive! Though the peaceful ambiance was ruined by the loud tiki bar late into the night (didn’t realize on our part that they’d be partying way past closing) and the food was very greasy and salty (not surprising for a tiki bar). The view was quite amazing and the quick access to the beach was excellent! Was extremely excited about the little kitchenette that was in the room as well as the back balcony with lounge chairs. Will DEFINITELY be coming back!

We booked a two room suite unaware that it was located right above the bar. Didn’t get much sleep for the three nights due to the noise of the band and the loud crowd which did not end until 2:30 am. We tried to switch rooms but there weren’t any available and the women at the main desk was very rude. We stayed in the older part of the complex which was run down. They have a beautiful pool area with newer units that looked very nice. The staff was very friendly and service was great. It’s a great location and a nice place as long as you’re aware of where you will be staying.

I have stayed here many times over the past 25 years but this will be the last. I should have listened to recent reviews. We paid $400 a night for a room on the second floor with a broken elevator. The shower door continued to fall off so they came in and took it down and rehung it but did not clean up after themselves so I had to clean the floor. There was mold in the shower. The room was EXTREMELY outdated. I don't mind paying for a room but you need to put the money back into the property. The pool is beautiful but it is open to the public. People came in on bikes so we couldn't always get chairs. I have never been to a resort where the pools are open to the public. This is done so they can sell $14 drinks to people off the street. The staff at the Tiki Bar and pool bar were great but the office staff were rude and made you feel like you were bothering them. It would have been $100 more a night to stay at Margaretville and I am sorry I didn't spend the extra money. For the difference it is a no brainer in the future. Believe the other reviews. If you can book it for under $200 it is probably worth it for the location but nothing else.

This place is a huge dive and totally overpriced. It looks nothing like it does on the website- the property is old and in bad shape. When I arrived I couldn't believe what I paid to stay at this place and felt totally ripped off. The live music played on the property blared in my room until late at night. There is not even a front desk. As I arrived just after 11:00 PM I had to find the security guard in the very loud and busy bar to get my room key. The elevator was broken. I had to drag my bag to the second floor to my dingy room. Housekeeping did not come for three days until I found someone to complain to. The only positive is proximity to the beach, but this does not outweigh the negatives and the heavy price tag.

The Bathroom constantly smelled of Urine. We complained but the cleaning of it seemed to make it worse. The towels were old as was the furniture, so old, they must have picked it from the street after it was thrown out. The floors were filthy to the point I threw my slippers and my husband socks out. The parking was awful!!! If you did get a space you were lucky. The hotel needs a major renovation. There were no amenities, No shampoo/soap/conditioner. I dare use the coffee pot. The fridge was dirty. The cost of the room was ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH IT!!!

They need to decide, are they a resort or a bar. They are not a resort right now, they are a Tiki bar. The noise coming from the bar at night is ridiculous for us who wish to be in bed by 10pm. The music in the bar did not shut down until midnight. The lights outside the room stay on as well and the rooms do not have black out shades but simple blinds so you get that light bleeding into your room. These two items lead to a horrible night of sleep and wrecked our next day because of the situation. We choose to leave early because of this. In addition to this parking was terrible. This \"resort\" has no working elevator to help you lift your stuff to the room and no signage on the stairs to guide you when you were forced to climb them with your luggage. The front desk felt the need to take a picture of my ID with my credit card information. This policy is very violating as I want my credit card info secured not in someone's phone. This so called resort was the worst part of my trip. I will never come back and would never recommend.

Our room ys near the Tiki Bar.
Tiki bar music blair until midnight every night.
No room cleaning service daily. Only when you check out. Have to go to office for toilet paper, Clean towels and coffee because room service doesn't clean the rooms. The floors are fifty. Stepped in shower and the bottom of my feet are dirty in the shower. The front desk at night has no support to address guests needs. You are on your own to go to the front desk person which can't do anything except sit out side smoking, hand out towels, coffee and toilet paper. We have a group of 16 staying at an average of $1000 per couple or $8,000. None of us are satisfied with the room service or quality of accommodation. The Tiki bar was fun, had good service, fair food, good music but you need to let people know the band or DJ goes to midnight. Can't go to sleep before midnight.

I had to call for our towels was told they would let the housekeeping now, four hours later, still no towels, had to call again in the late afternoon finally tracked down somebody walking around and they brought us towels and toilet paper. They did not do what they were supposed to as far as coming every day to empty the garbage.

For the four days I was there. I had to keep calling and requesting the towels to be exchanged other than that the place was nice. The food was good at the tiki and good entertainment poles were clean.

The staff was fine here but the pictures of the rooms were not consistent with the room we had. The shades in the room did not allow privacy and the door had a 1/4” gap in the top. Room was clean but there was mold in the tile grout in the bathroom. There was excessive noise from the Tiki bar in the room past 10pm. Not the level of quality I expected from the pictures.

We had a check in today around 2. We were very please that the room was ready early, as we had a wedding to attend at 5. Some examples that we found when entering our room. Bug smashed on wall next to light switch. Bug dead on floor. Headboard stained. Floor looking like it needs mopped. A piece of tile sticking up. Not pictured.... Toilet seat broken. Just figured I give you a heads up on why my review probably won't be the best.

Too loud with Tiki bar nearby. Couldn’t hear TV or sleep. Elevator broken and we were placed on top floor despite requiring lowest floor because of our age and our traveling with our dog. View was of a condemned building. Paid $50 per night for our dog and still were placed in the older building.
The newer building and pool were much better and our son and his wife enjoyed staying there though it was still loud, it was further away from the Tiki bar

We had a lovely stay at the lighthouse, the room we had was very spacious with a kitchen if eating in was preferred. The rooms were immaculate and we had plenty of towels in our room and could get more if we wanted. The Tiki was right there playing excellent music but you could could also eat here as well. The location was excellent and we could walk everywhere. The beach was beautiful too! Thank you for a nice stay!

They put handicap person on third floor with no elevator. Parking that said for guests was being filled up by patrons to the tiki bar at night time.
Room was above the tiki hut that had loud music til 12/1am. When the add says tranquil retreat

And no hot water to the third floor.

Staff upon checkin said she could not move us.
Nor could they move us on day 2
Awful.
Prisoner once I got up there.
If I stayed out all day. I came back exhausted to loud music beneath me

The room was much older than the pictures advertised looked. The caulking around the bathroom was moldy, the room had a stale smell and felt moist, the paint was peeling off of the lamps on the nightstand, and the fabrics in the room were stained. Most notably we did not have a comforter just a sheet. There was also music blaring until 11:30pm from the tiki bar that had our room shaking from the base. Definitely more of a spring break vibe.

The room is not what expected. It’s neglected, the windows are all rusty, the flooring is broken and unsticking. The walls have marks and the toilet paper are barely holding on to the wall.
We are on the third floor without elevator (we received a message after the reservation was made but it was too late) also we are above a outdoor tiki bar so loud music and drunk people in the stairs at night.. not cool with kids. The person at the lobby told us is was written on your website but No. Really a ln below ordinary place to stay I wouldn’t recommend

Definitely a hotel for parties…which is not us. The bed was comfortable and once the noise died down from the tiki bar we were finally able to sleep.

Website pictures are deceiving, half of the hotel is NOT remodeled, sofa couch was extremely uncomfortable, refrigerator was set on the coldest temp but definitely did not keep things cold. Our floooring in the room was buckling and cracking. Room smelled musty. If you want to party hard, this is the hotel for you! If you have a family with small children, definitely not the hotel for you. People park in non-parking spots making it difficult for other guests to exit the property. Our first day arriving, a female working in the main tiki bar was NOT friendly and acted like we were more of a nuisance than anything. I've stayed in this hotel in the past hence the reason why we came back last time however, I will not be returning. Was definitley looking forward to this vacation but was extremely let down.
