Half Moon Resort

Half Moon Resort is a two-pearl oceanfront property in Roatan’s West End town. The hotel’s 10 air-conditioned, ocean-view rooms have a beach-hut look plus ceiling fans, queen beds, and porches or balconies with chairs and hammocks. Only two rooms have Wi-Fi, and there are no TVs. There’s no sandy beach, but a thriving reef is a short swim from the resort’s shoreline and free snorkeling equipment is available to borrow. The restaurant only serves breakfast and lunch, and other amenities include a dive shop, book exchange, and free purified water. Alternatively, for a tropical stay set on a lush hillside overlooking Half Moon Bay, an amazing rooftop, and delicious free breakfasts, it’s worth pricing out Roatan Bed & Breakfast.

Ibis Praha Old Town

On the fringes of Old Town, next to a huge mall and a bus and tram station, the lower-middle-range Ibis Praha Old Town is a good value option for both leisure and corporate travelers. Its 271 rooms are basic and on the small side and views aren’t great, but they have air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, en-suite bathrooms. In-room kettles and breakfasts are at a fee, and the hotel lacks a restaurant, but it has a fun bar, 24/7 Food Corner, and free Wi-Fi, although connection isn’t always reliable. Secure off-site parking is available (at a fee), though with the city’s beating heart just outside the hotel’s doorstep, guests will unlikely need a car. The Red Chair Hotel is also close to the Old Town and provides free breakfast, but it lacks an elevator.

Hotel Keilir

Hotel Keilir is a family-run two-and-a-half-pearl hotel that sits on the coast, outside the city of Keflavik and a short ride away from the international airport. It has 40 rooms, which are modern and minimalist, and feature more amenities than expected from a mid-range property. Expect mini-fridges, safes, air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. The hotel has no on-site restaurant, but does have a stylish bar on the ground floor and offers a free continental breakfast. There’s also a 24-hour business center on-site. It’s popular with couples and families arriving or leaving from the nearby airport and rates are affordable. Guests staying longer might try Hotel Berg, where rates are higher but hot breakfast waffles and an outdoor hot tub are on offer.

Pineapple Court Hotel

Travelers looking for a cheap place to stay in Ocho Rios will find excellent budget accommodations at the Pineapple Court Hotel. With 14 rooms, a small pool, and an on-site restaurant, this two-and-a-half-pearl property is ideal for independent travelers who don’t mind being a bit far from town. The hotel is within walking distance of the beach, but guests will need to drive or hail a cab to reach downtown and popular tourist attractions like Dunns River Falls and Mystic Mountain. If proximity to downtown is a priority, Rooms Ocho Rios is a similar, though slightly pricier option.
