Why Travelers Love The Lighthouse
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
My wife and I are always on the go and on the lookout for good quality and budget friendly places, trust me when I say you will not be disappointed here. First, we arrived from across the street, and we were checked in early and swiftly by the very friendly host and staff. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable with a balcony!!!! (A real sit on with table and chair balcony) Anything you may lack I am certain the host would accommodate, they are that nice, Lastly, the restaurant, wow I was really impressed with all we ordered, the food was hot, tasty and good quality. I highly recommend this place both the hotel and restaurant. (I am too tired from my journey to post pics, but everything was nicely presented) My boyfriend and I came here after our hostel was overbooked. Our stay here was amazing. Dimitri is really kind and willing to help with everything. Rooms are clean, have a lot of space and there is a warm shower + AC! We also had breakfast in the restaurant there and I would recommend it. We had a really nice stay here. The hosts are lovely, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and our breakfast was great. Highly recommended!

Dimitri is a great host, he really helped us out with an overbooking at another place. Great man, great hotel would definitely recommend! The breakfast was also really good, one of the best we have had so far in Central America.
