Hotel Caribbean Paradise Boutique & Dive Center

This no-fuss two-and-a-half-pearl property has an excellent location for party-minded travelers, as it’s on the corner of 5th Avenue and Constituyentes Avenue. Unfortunately, this naturally leads to nighttime noise and most past guests recommend bringing earplugs. The 45 clean, spacious rooms are decked out in basic decor sporting strong air-conditioning. Shower-only rooms with one or two double beds keep things simple, though Deluxe Rooms feature small balconies and pool or street views. Wi-Fi is free, but reportedly spotty in rooms, and a small pool has a surprisingly charming vibe. On the downside, there is no full restaurant or elevator, though a coffee shop is by the hotel’s entrance. For an affordable alternative on the southern side of the strip, check out Hotel Hacienda del Caribe, which also has an on-site bar.
