Best Affordable Caribbean Hotels

Antigua: Catamaran Hotel

$95 A short walk west from the center of English Harbour—the island’s sceney boating town on the southern coast—sits the 16-room Catamaran Hotel. The décor is classic Caribbean: bright floral bedspreads, whitewashed walls, and cream-colored tile floors. All of the rooms face the ocean, though the ones on the upper floor have the best views. Book a table on the roomy patio at the hotel’s restaurant, Captain’s Quarters, for regional classics such as ling fish with eggplant and okra.

T+L Tip: At the private beach, borrow a rowboat or a pedalo, gratis, and explore the bay’s hidden beaches and rocky inlets.
