Chroniken von Freeport

Freeport, the capital of Grand Bahama Island, was founded in 1955 by Wallace Groves, an American businessman, as part of a planned community. The city's architecture reflects its colonial past, with a mix of modern and Art Deco influences. The city's cultural identity is deeply rooted in its Afro-Bahamian heritage, with a thriving arts scene and a strong emphasis on preserving traditional crafts. The city's historic downtown area, Port Lucaya, features a picturesque waterfront with shops, restaurants, and a marina. The city's history and culture are on full display at the Rand Nature Centre, a 30-acre nature reserve and museum complex.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Radison Lighthouse Point, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on a higher floor (above the 5th floor) to minimize potential street noise from the nearby main road. The Radisson Lighthouse Point is situated in Freeport, and the higher floors tend to offer a more peaceful atmosphere. Since the hotel has 6 floors and 2 lifts, you can expect a relatively smooth and quick ride to your room. Opt for a room with a partial ocean view to enjoy the scenic views of the surrounding area.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms near the service entrance (likely on the lower floors, possibly the 1st or 2nd floor) as they may receive more foot traffic and noise from delivery and service staff. Additionally, rooms near the lifts might experience some vibrations and noise due to frequent use.

Insider tips

1. If you're driving, consider parking in the nearby public parking lot, as the hotel's parking area might fill up quickly. 2. Request a room with a mini-fridge, as it's not a standard amenity in all rooms, and you can stock up on snacks and drinks from the nearby convenience store.

How to request your preferred room:
