Hotels Under $200 Per Night in Anguilla
Value Hotels and Special Offers Make a Caribbean Vacation Affordable
Mar 10, 2009
Although it is a small, flat island, Anguilla offers some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, along with a wide range of hotels and family activities. Travelers on budgets can find comfortable apartment, hotel and villa accommodations from which to explore all the beaches.
Visitors enjoy such activities as cave exploration, bird watching, and golf as well as the usual water sports of diving, windsurfing, snorkeling and deep sea fishing. Families also plan time at the Play-A-Round, an amusement center with 18-hole miniature golf course, a rock wall, bumper boats and an inflatable obstacle course.
Those staying at villas or resorts without a beach should check the hotels for beach access. For example, at the Malliouhana Hotel the $25 day pass gives access to the beach and pool as well as their children's playground with a pirate ship and 60-foot waterslide. At the Sirena Resort, those dining in their restaurant for lunch have free use of the pool and beach facilities.

Travel with a Group
Another way to enjoy the beauty of Anguilla is by renting a private villa. There is a great array of choices, from restored historic homes to new modern structures, and the daily rates for three to four bedroom homes makes them an economical choice for a family or group traveling together.
For example, Moonrise Cottage, a three or four-bedroom home along the rocky coast in Little Harbour, has its own pool and a great view. Accommodations include two master suites with king beds and a room with two twins, all with their own baths. The rate in summer season for 6 guests is $600 per night, and includes a car rental.
Jems Villa, located between Shoal Bay and Island Harbour and near Shoal Bay Beach, is a two-bedroom villa with an additional bedroom on the lower floor. The pool area looks out to the ocean, and the property has a private garden. Rates in summer are $350 per night for two bedrooms, and $420 for three bedrooms.
