“Perfect location near the airport with a gorgeous view”
Lighthouse is in a very quiet and peaceful location, perfect if you want somewhere relaxing to switch off. The staff were so warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. It’s right next to a lovely beach, has a good-sized pool, and a really nice garden area that adds to the peaceful feel of the place.

“Nice stay for short stop near airport”
A very well-maintained property with a beautiful sea view. Although the beach just outside the fence is untidy and not really used, the pool within the property is large and clean. We only stayed for one night, so we don’t have many impressions, but overall it’s a nice and well-kept place. It is quite remote—we arrived by taxi, and there are no shops or restaurants nearby, so you would need to travel by taxi or your own transport to get anywhere. The host is very caring and helpful.

“This is a very free and beautiful place to stay. I highly recommend this property to others.”
The view we had was beautiful. It was a beautiful place. The breakfast was delicious. Our room was bigger than I expected. The jacuzzi in the bathroom worked well. There was always good hot water. The balcony we had was spacious and unique. We received great hospitality, with our needs being taken care of. My two babies enjoyed the beach a lot. Enjoyed the swimming pool freely. I spent my time very happily. I highly recommend this property to others.

“Great place to decompress after a long flight”
Great location with a lovely clean pool a few steps away from the beach. Perfect if you don’t want to be somewhere noisy and busy but just a short tuk tuk into town. Richard was an amazing host, a very lovely man and all the staff were kind and helpful and looked after us really well helping us sort transport etc.

“Needs work and upkeep but works as transit hotel”
The hosts were friendly and tried to address issues rather effectively. Good shower with lots of hot water. Very reasonable price, good option for one transit night given its proximity to the airport.

Perfect Place to Relax After a Long Flight We stayed at The Lighthouse Negomb for one night after our flight and had an absolutely wonderful stay. The balcony view is breathtaking — you could sit there all day, and the sunset is truly to die for. A special thank you to Richard, the hotel manager, and his fantastic team. Richard genuinely cares about his guests, is always reachable, and responds immediately if you need anything. We were saddened by some negative reviews. Please remember that a hotel is someone’s livelihood. If you are very sensitive to small details or expect a strict five-star standard, maybe traveling is not for you. We would definitely recommend this hotel for a peaceful start or end to your journey.
