Top Bright Water Hotel Reviews

Lani Kai Beachfront Resort

8/10 Good

"“Old Florida vibe” overlooking a lovely beach. Was given a room directly over the bar and the live music literally vibrated throughout the room. I suspect because I booked the room through Hotels.com I got the less desirable room. Aside from the room location, I enjoyed the spaciousness of it and helpful staff. The rooftop restaurant was quite lovely and the food was better than average. Service was excellent if not a little eager. Overall a swell experience for a long weekend."

South Seas

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property with excellent amenities—we really enjoyed our stay. One suggestion would be to provide daily housekeeping instead of every other day. Also, while construction is ongoing, it would be appreciated if guests could be assigned rooms farther away from the construction area whenever possible. Unfortunately, our room was very close to it, which made the stay less enjoyable. Overall, it’s a beautiful place, and we would definitely consider staying again."
