The resort was very nice and we enjoyed the location , room was clean and ready for early check in. The down of the resort is parking , the parking is not directly near your room and because they have a restaurant there sometimes it gets full. The other thing is that in our room the shades let the light come in and no curtains to prevent it. So if you plan to sleep is a bit hard . No phone in room so make sure to take your chargers.. Everything else was great ! 👍

Disgusting ever since the old Owners son Tommy took over the place is a big mistake! Do not book at this place! Room floors had uneven floring ,TRIP POINTS ALL LOVER NO ELEVATORS working motor cycles parked in front of the step to only access to upper floors! Pay a resort fee, so others can come use the pool! Watched a few people drink over 10 beers stayed in pool and never got out to release themselves
No way been going 30 years here, FINISHED DISGUSTING PLACE

There was an old dried wash cloth left in the shower when we checked in. The next day, the room was cleaned, trash was not emptied, old towels were removed but not replaced. Also saw a lot of baby roaches around the room. Was not warned about the loud music from the tiki bar late at night (room was right above the bar). Would have been nice to have a discount for food at the tiki bar restaurant instead of yukatan. It is very close to the beach. That’s the only reason I chose it.

Great location and quick walk to the ocean. Pool is community and not private. Tiki bar was fun, but if drinking and parting isn’t your vibe then try a different location. We were on the 3rd floor next to the parking lot and the tiki bar which is open to 2am. So it’s definitely loud if you’re trying to sleep. Bathroom need to be remodeled.

I've been staying at the Lighthouse for many years. I have to say, I'm not a fan of the late night ruckus at the teke hut. Not all of us seniors are trying to relive our youth. The motorcycles parked under the building reving there little motors with strait pipes at midnight is disrespectful.

This was the worst place I have ever stayed. There was loud music from 2 PM until 2 AM—you simply cannot sleep. It was overcrowded, there was no elevator, and it is absolutely not worth the money they are charging.

The bathroom was poorly maintained, the sink was clogged, and the noise was very annoying. The terrace was right above the tiki bar, and the breakfast service included items different from what I ordered.

They gave room keys to other people who entered while we were resting, which was a big mistake.

We loved the room. Very clean and staff helpful w/ the parking. I didn't see an iron or board and they need a parking garage is the only negativity I saw. But I don't think that there is any property nearby for a parking lot. The staff was helpful tho about finding me a space. We will definitely go back for another stay

During our stay we had one staff member who was very nice and offered us a room upgrade to a quieter part of the property as we were traveling with our 8 month old. The other front desk staff member was not helpful when trying to check in and noted our room was being cleaned for the last 2 hours. Sliding door in the room would not lock and would not seal which meant for a warm breeze and noise from traffic all day and night. Nice pool. Just be very cautious selecting your room to avoid the noise of the outdoor bar that is open until 2 am every night.

The room we stayed in needed updating
The bathroom light flickered the whole time we were there I asked for a new light and we never got one. The bathroom door the hinges were so rusted that the door did not shut all the way and you had to slam it shut and then pull it to open it. The blow dryer that was provided fell apart on me the first day I used it and it was totally rusted. I asked for a new blow dryer and I never got that. The other thing you need to remember is the rooms are right above or right by the tiki bar they have music every night which is very loud so you’re awake all night until the music ends and the bar doesn’t close until two so again, you have all the noise from the people. I will probably never stay at the lighthouse again.

Room was clean and great location. We could walk anywhere on Fort Myers Beach to all the restaurants and hotspots. This hotel was hit by Ian. Looks like they remodeled it after Ian very quickly. And it shows in the rooms and they need to be looked at again. Scrape and repaint the ceilings , fix the drains in the bathroom sink and recalk the bathrooms. The pool area was great and inviting. The room was very big with a full kitchen, which was nice to have.

Everything was dingy, property needs TLC. Parking limited, am handicapped and there were 8 parking spots beneath out building full, however 7 of the cars had no Parking tag to even be there. Handicapped and had a long walk to where we had to park car. It was obvious that parking was used by bar patrons, there was to be an attendant but we were told only on weekends, this needs to be 7 days a week not two. Two more cars were parked in this same area in an area marked no parking, wife went to office about other issues, mentioned the parking situation and was informed those were owners cars, that lack of concern for paying guests. Music in both bar and pool areas were excessively loud, so we opted to spend money at neighboring bars and restaurants. Its obvious the owners aren't looking for repeat business. It appears they are only concerned with the bars than the rooms. That they only wish to take money out and not put any money into the buildings/rooms.

Stayed 4/15-22/26. It was okay. Staff was probably the reason I gave 4 stars, they were great. However, owner/management needs to step it up. After we booked the 2 bedroom, we received notification that the elevators in building #2 weren’t working. However, we had no idea what building they were putting us in. We had a disabled member and upon checking in, were told our building had the unworking elevator. I mentioned I saw the email stating such but the way they communicated it, it never stated our room would be in that building. I spoke to another guest who said they agreed, it was very misleading. We also saw another guest having to tote an oxygen tank up two floors of stairs. A staff member said they don’t understand why it’s not fixed and using the excuse they can’t get anyone out there to fix it makes no sense. We think management just doesn’t want to pay for it.
Also - if you want a quiet place to stay, this place isn’t for you. We knew there was nightly bands, but we didn’t know the layout of our building and the bar/band was centered directly in the middle and it was loud. However, we did enjoy it from our balcony and the music stops at 11 pm so it wasn’t horrible. But just know, this place is never quiet.
Food at Tiki was always delicious and consistent, The staff was great.
There’s supposed to be someone in guest parking to move the cones as they block the entryway into the lot. Half the time there was no one there so we had to get out of the car & move them.

A very fun resort. Had no idea that they had the islands top bar and one of the best swimming pools. All in all a wonderful visit. Our room was super small with no place to empty our suitcases however, part of that is my fault for not better understanding the room size. Definitely will come back again and will get a much larger room that allows us to move around and unpack our stuff. Great visit and definitely would recommend.

We so enjoyed our time here. Our room was poolside and recently renovated. The amenities were fantastic. Had breakfast by the pool and the food was excellent. If you’re into the bar scene or just enjoying a cocktail next to the pool, this place is the best. Everything is right there and you have easy access to a fun time or a quiet time. The staff was amazing and so accommodating. Access to Fort Myers Beach is within a couple blocks and all the amazing restaurants are also in walking distance. I don’t think you could enjoy Fort Myers Beach any better anywhere else. We have made a pact, my son and I to return many times to come.

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.

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!!!
