Featured Caribbean Vacations of 2007 Summer Season
El Caribbean does boast some of the world's finest five-star resorts, but their pricey room rates are prohibitive for many sunseekers. However, among all the A-list hot spots you'll find plenty of small, intimate inns with all of the basic amenities of their glitzier neighbors. Lower nightly rates at these places mean longer vacations for those on a budget. Pay less to play more and you'll have more cash to spend seeing the islands, taking boat excursions, parasailing, scuba diving, relaxing, or doing nothing at all.
Below is our shortlist of the Caribbean's best hotel values.
 | Carringtons Inn St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands A stay at this spacious bed-and-breakfast harks back to a gentler time, when people spent the winter, rather than a week, in the Caribbean. Nightly room rates: $100-150
|
 | Horny Toad St. Maarten A marvelous little oceanfront guest house with a funky name offers the island's best value for those who want to keep costs down. Nightly room rates: $107-198
|
 | Peach & Quiet This small seaside inn on the southeast coast is the sweetest deal on Barbados. Nightly room rates: $99-109 (open winter season only)
|
 | Rockhouse Hotel Jamaica Perched on the cliffs of Negril's West End, unique bungalows blend comfort and rustic style. Regular rooms keep costs down, but if you want to spend a bit more, the dramatic villas are worth every penny. Nightly room rates: $95-375
|
 | Turtle Nest Inn A marvelous little oceanfront guest house with a funky name offers the island's best value for those who want to keep costs down. Nightly room rates: $107-198 |
