  Overall, we had a great stay at The Nautical. Kurt, the manager, was absolutely fabulous! Any issue or concern we had, he was right there to take care of it. He was extremely helpful, professional, and truly great at his job. Our poolside cabana was perfect! It was relaxing, the atmosphere was awesome, and the drinks were on point. We really enjoyed that part of our stay. The only issue was the lack of communication from the front desk. When I originally made my reservation, I specifically requested a beachfront room on the ground level so we could walk straight out to the beach, but we were placed on the second level. I also paid $150 to park our boat on the beach, but no one clearly explained that there were specific times when we were allowed to park it there. We didn’t find that out until we were ready to park the boat early in the morning. I just feel the front desk could have communicated these details much better when I made my room reservation and when I paid for the beach parking. Other than the miscommunication, we had a wonderful time, and a huge thank you to Kurt for going above and beyond to take care of us!

  The reason you want to stay here is the location and amenities it offers. Great location right on the lake. Ease of docking the boat and not having to take it off the lake each day. Has a restaurant, pool, beach etc. The property/grounds are nice and well maintained. The hotel rooms however are a wholenother story. Our 3 rooms all smelled like mildew. Musty. Old. The rooms need to be revamped (the carpet needs to be replaced at a minimum as people trek in and out with wet items and it causes that mildew smell). The rooms are just old and need remodeling. It does not match the outside vibe or feel of the hotel. I'd stay again just for the ease and the location but will bring socks to not walk barefoot on the floor. Set your expectations low for the room and you wont be disappointed. When you are staying, if you are accessing the lake an amenities, you probably arent in your room a ton anyways. If uou are someone who likes to hang in the room alot this is not the hotel for you.

  Location was great! Rooms were average at best. Our room smelt like sewer for a bit until we ran our shower each day. Place is old so not expecting it to be perfect. We would stay again for sure. Staff is super helpful! Only thing I can say is bring things to eat and drink, it is super expensive in that aspect.

  3 star hotel, absolutely, but it wouldn't take much to make it better. Very convenient on the water with courtesy marina and boat ramp. Rooms are decent but could be exceptional with a little work. Security is spot on, some savages broke out a large portable speaker with "polka" music and they were shut down immediately. Would definitely recommend a very solid 3 star.

  This was honestly one of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed at, and I can’t believe they’re charging nearly $300 a night for rooms like this. The room was tiny, the beds were as hard as sleeping on a rock, and the air conditioner barely cooled the room because it only blew from one side. Even after running it for hours, the room never got comfortably cool. The room also had a terrible sewer smell that made it unpleasant to be in. On top of that, everything was dusty. Dust had built up on the furniture and other surfaces, making it seem like the room hadn’t been properly cleaned in a long time. I attached a photo because the condition speaks for itself. The entire hotel feels like it hasn’t been updated since the 1960s. The rooms are old, outdated, and nowhere near worth what they’re charge. For almost $300 a night, I expected a clean, comfortable, and well-maintained room—not one that felt neglected. The only positive thing about this hotel is the beautiful beachfront view. Unfortunately, a nice view doesn’t make up for rock-hard beds, poor air conditioning, a sewer odor, dusty rooms, and outdated accommodations. Save yourself the disappointment and spend your money somewhere else. There are much better hotels in Lake Havasu that offer cleaner, more comfortable rooms and far better value for the price. I definitely won’t be returning, and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
