Lighthouse Inn at Aransas Bay

Even tho the inn is right on the pier. There was no family places to eat after 8. Only bars. But on a check in day they only had 1 person at registration that also answers the phones. Had to wait almost 10 min to check in. Room was nice loved being able to walk out and be right at the pool. Has rocking chairs to hang out after swimming before going back into the room.

Stayed here for a two-day getaway from Houston. Chose this hotel because it’s right on the water and we upgraded to a “bay view” to take advantage of the water views. Imagine our utter disappointment when we sat on our balcony in very nice rocking chairs - but our only view was the vertical bars enclosing the balcony (as you will see in the pics I’ve attached). NO WATER VIEW AT ALL. Unless, of course, you stand up! Not my idea of relaxing - and we certainly wouldn’t have paid a premium for that view. I had already asked at check-in to get a room closer to the elevator but was told they were full and no room adjustments could be made. Another word of caution (just so you’re prepared) - yes, there’s a mini fridge in the room but there’s no way the temperature’s cold enough to keep any foods from spoiling. We left our food in our ice chest with lots of ice instead. We didn’t have breakfast there so won’t comment on any of the food. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable so we’d stay here again but ONLY on the ground floor where there’s a patio and not a balcony - and those gorgeous unobstructed views. One more note of caution: yes, they allow early check-in if your room’s ready (regular check-in’s 4pm). but the new owner now charges $10 for every hour you’re early (I.e., if you get there at 2:00, it’s an extra $20). Have never heard of that anywhere else. Not a fan!

This is our 3rd night of a 4 night stay and we are extremely pleased.We first visited the Lighthouse almost 20 years ago and it is a nice facility in a great location. Our ground floor poolside room is clean and comfortable with excellent amenities including coffee maker, small fridge and a microwave. They also give you the option of daily housekeeping or whenever you would choose by simply hanging the service notice on the door. The pool and patio area are very clean and tidy with pool towels available. The complimentary breakfast is very good and coffee is available in the foyer all day. We had a really excellent meal at the hotels Palm Room Restaurant and enjoyed meeting Mark the Bartender/server, who did a great job with our meal and drinks. I will do a separate review on the excellent Palm Room dinner.

I was supposed to stay at the Lighthouse Inn in but became ill with no help or compassion

WARNING, this used to be a relaxing , nice, family friendly establishment. They no longer care about guest safety or satisfaction. Our family of 8+ had 5 rooms over Easter Weekend, an incident occurred Friday night with another guest that had been kicked out of their bar after being over served. He was sitting on his dark patio making inappropriate comments to underage children, such as inviting them inside his room. Front desk would only speak to the guest, police spoke to him but he remained on site. From that point on, we will never go back! We used to enjoy our time at Light House, their unique layout, safety, that feeling of home but yet on vacation. Management was unable to be empathetic because the owner did not care, a joke of a gesture I might add Sir. If you want a safe place to stay with your children, do not come here!
