In budget hotels, room quality varies significantly. Always get a TripSage briefing before checking in — it tells you which floors are quietest and which rooms to avoid.

A 3-star hotel with a 4.4 rating often beats a 4-star with a 3.8. We rank by guest score, not just stars. A higher-rated lower-star property is usually the smarter pick.
The most affordable options are Westwind Club Resort I, Westwind Club Resort II, Blue Water Resort at Guanahani Village. However, we rank by guest rating first — a slightly higher price for a much higher-rated property is usually better value overall.
Book directly with the hotel or via comparison sites during shoulder season. Once booked, use TripSage to get a free briefing — knowing the best room to request can make a budget stay feel much more premium.
