Return visit is just as magical as we have come to expect. Super clean condos and resort with the best staff! They’re always so friendly and professional and willing to help with every need. They were happy to give dinner recommendations, book excursions, and arrange hopper flights without us spending our valuable vacation time worrying and calling around. The drinks at the pool bar are delicious and reasonable. The condos have everything we needed and more!! From in-unit washers and dryers to fully appointed kitchens, we lived a week of luxury on the island! Unit 8 has an amazing view and is decorated with that luxury island vibe we hoped for! We’re already planning our next visit to Lighthouse Beach!

After checking out early from Mahogany Bay Resort due to a horrible stay (see my review of them), we moved to this much nicer resort. The employees here really care about their guests and provide a really enjoyable experience. The beach and pool here are nice and never crowded. The rooms are spacious with a nice kitchen and a huge balcony. The bartender makes great drinks and is very friendly. While there is no restaurant here, there is a nice outdoor Breakfast & Lunch restaurant just a short walk down the beach at Pelican Reef Villas. The manager at Lighthouse Villas is great and is very helpful in booking taxis, tours, or anything else you may need. This resort is probably the best value of anywhere on Ambergris Caye.

Stayed here with 4 other friends and had an awesome time. The property has a private pool, bar, and pier which is perfect for hanging out. All tours and activities were easily organized by the staff. The private dock is perfect for water activities as the companies come straight to the property to pick you up. In particular big shout out to the bartender, Rob, who is an all around great guy with some awesome stories and advice on the island.

The Lighthouse Beach Villas is a must if you are considering a trip to San Pedro and staying in the Ambergris Caye’s area. Our Lighthouse accommodation was clean, with lots of space to spread out, and just as described. The furnishings in our unit were very nice and made you feel like you had everything you needed in a condo (well appointed). Each unit is front facing ocean view and only a few steps to the water and a private pier. Besides the great layout of the small intimate setting with 11 units and an inviting pool with a swim up bar, the staff made us, and the others, feel very welcome. We knew the staff’s name and they knew ours. Rob, Glori, Di, and Andres are nice, wonderful people. Glori and Di helped us book a few excursions and helped us with a golf cart rental which is a must for the island. Rob was just a terrific bartender; he was truly knowledgeable of the area and made several excellent restaurant recommendations. The other guests we met also raved about their condo and the staff. Even a few locals stopped by to visit Rob at the bar. When we go back to San Pedro, this is where we will plan to stay!

If I could give 10 🌟, I absolutely would. Beautiful facility. But more than that, the entire staff is amazing. Never wanted for a thing and they are all so kind, caring, and helpful. Rob is an amazing bartender and just a great person. Glori and her staff will make you feel like family. We had an amazing time. So glad to have been able to spend a week with my daughter and brother at such a great place! Karen S - Ohio

My daughter and I can here for my 55th birthday. We had never been to Belize. Gloria took care of everything for us, from or flights in, golf carts and excursions. She was so reassuring and kind. The room was more than I expected. Beautiful views and comfy beds.I can’t say enough about how wonderful the staff is. They took care of us so well. Rob the bartender was so fun and thoughtful. The morning of my birthday I came down to the pool and was greeted with happy birthdays and hugs. It was the best ever. I can’t thank them enough for how wonderful they treated us. We will defiantly be back!

Where do I begin…. Located on the peaceful end of paradise. Fishing boats picked us up at our private dock… who could ask for anything more! The staff is beyond amazing. They set up everything for us from travel to tours. I look forward to my return!

Our stay at Lighthouse Villas far exceeded our expectations! Our villa was lovely with views that couldn't be beat. Glori handled all the reservations for us, including a last minute change, and a few issues that arose during our stay. Rob is a fantastic mixologist, had great recommendations for places to go, and was able to help us get a few things we couldn't find on our own. Derrick took care of anything else that was needed. All the staff were great and treated us like family, it felt like home. We can't wait to go back!

The Lighthouse Beach Villas were the perfect choice for our stay in Ambergris Caye. Just a short golf cart ride from the hustle and bustle of downtown, the locations is quiet and well maintained. The villa was huge and had everything you need for your holiday. The staff were excellent, from the front desk that arranges anything and everything you want to do on your holiday, including arranging your golf cart rental, ferry pick up, activities, to Rob the best pool/beach bartender on the island. We highly recommend Lighthouse Beach Villas and I assure you that we will be back again!

You can’t go wrong staying at the Lighthouse. The service is terrific from the bartender, who knew our unit number without us saying a word, to the office gals that were helpful in every way. Everything was just right!
