"Do you know of any affordable hotels in the Caribbean?" It's one of the questions we get asked most frequently. Fortunately, we've got plenty of answers. The easiest route is to look for a brand-name resort or all-inclusive, many of which have attractive rates and packages. But what if you want something smaller, with more personality? No problem: The islands are dotted with intimate, independently run hotels that offer all the touchstones of a dream Caribbean vacation—abundant sunshine, warm surf, rum drinks—without exorbitant rates. We combed through our Caribbean travel guides and selected ten such gems. None charge more than $250 a night for a standard room—even in high season*—and all provide an ideal, and affordable, Caribbean getaway.
* Excluding taxes and service charges. Rates are often higher during the weeks of Christmas and New Year's.
