Hotel in Grand Bahama, Bahamas
Lighthouse Pointe at Grand Lucayan
Affordable option at Grand Lucayan resort on Grand Bahama. Access to resort facilities including beach, pools, and restaurants while staying in budget-friendly accommodations with basic amenities.
Lighthouse Pointe is the budget-tier accommodation tower within the Grand Lucayan resort complex on Grand Bahama island, located in the Lucaya district of Freeport on the island's south coast. The Grand Lucayan development occupies a stretch of beachfront at Royal Palm Way, and Lighthouse Pointe offers guests access to the broader resort facilities at a lower price point than the complex's premium accommodation sections. Lucaya is the principal tourist hub of Grand Bahama, home to the Port Lucaya Marketplace, marina, and the island's main resort beaches.
Rooms at Lighthouse Pointe are furnished in a standard resort style with air conditioning, private bathrooms, and free Wi-Fi. Standard rooms are modest in size but comfortable for the price; higher floors provide improved views over the surrounding landscape and, from some positions, toward the ocean. Guests have access to the resort's beachfront along Grand Bahama's south coast, a stretch of pale sand fronting generally calm water sheltered by the island's reef systems.
The Port Lucaya Marketplace, a waterfront complex of restaurants, bars, shops, and a small casino, is a short walk from the resort complex. Local restaurants in the marketplace serve Bahamian cuisine including fresh-caught fish, cracked conch, and rum cocktails. Jitney buses connect Lucaya to downtown Freeport, approximately 20 minutes away, for guests wishing to explore the island's commercial centre.
Grand Bahama is particularly noted for its diving and snorkelling. Lucayan National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve about 20 minutes' drive west of Freeport, contains one of the world's longest known underwater cave systems. Dive operators in the Lucaya area offer guided reef diving, wreck diving, and cave exploration tours for various experience levels. Gold Rock Beach, near the national park, is considered one of Grand Bahama's most scenic stretches of shoreline and is accessible by rental car or organised tour.
Grand Bahama International Airport (IATA: FPO) is approximately 15–20 minutes from the hotel by taxi, with direct connections to several US cities and Nassau. The property serves as a practical and affordable base for dive-focused travellers and those seeking a quieter Bahamian island experience.
