Best season in the Caribbean | Crime | Luxury Caribbean beach resorts

These are budget beach hotels with immediate access to the water and with internet.

Hostels away from the shore and/or offline are of course cheaper. Some of these hotels include breakfast and possibly dinner.

$ = low cost, under $100 per double room per night and maybe as little as $20 per person out of high season.
$$= moderate ($100 - $300) often means just a better room such as ocean view/en suite bathroom etc. In high season some rates double.

 

 

Dominican Republic, Hotel Las Ballenas Escondidas $
Run by a French couple, this remote, simple and secluded place with 12 bungalows hidden in lush vegetation is an escape from it all. From as little as $20 per person a night, you can have the benefit of a private beach, an infinity pool, an outdoor Jacuzzi and French and Dominican cuisine at its restaurant, ceiling fan or air conditioning at a price, no TV in the room and no night-life either. But they do have internet and whale-watching from January to March!
Las Ballenas Escondidas is located on DR's southeast coast, 15 minutes east of Santa Barbara de Samaná on the road to Las Galeras.

It requires a 20 minute flight or a 90 minute high-speed ferry from Grenada.

It's a small, hip-hotel with 18 individual wooden cabanas painted in vivid colours, each with ocean views or on the ocean front. There are two private sandy coves and an adjacent two mile public area called Love Beach.
Rental Kayaks and snorkeling equipment are available. There's a nearby dive centre, charter boat pick up for boating, fishing, picnicking, and PADI certified dive center.
Compass Point is simple but comfortable and home to a popular restaurant serving great food and reasonable prices.
The resort is excellent for divers but not so great for party people because it's a long way from from any night action.

Mango Bay opens right onto reef-fringed Mahoe Bay, one of the best beaches on the island, along with the Bath, Trunk Bay, and Spring Bay.
