West Bay Lodge and Spa is a two-and-a-half pearl property that's a three-minute walk from West Bay Beach. The hotel has lush gardens and a tropical vibe, and the owners rescue unwanted or injured island animals like cats, parrots, and rabbits who are sheltered here until finding permanent homes. The lodge’s eight air-conditioned rooms are big and bright, with colorful (but dated) interiors plus kitchens or kitchenettes in most rooms. Hotel amenities include a delicious restaurant, day spa, 24-hour freshwater pool, and free Wi-Fi. Freebies include round-trip airport or jetty transfers and laundry (with all five-day stays, or longer). For an oceanfront hotel with an on-site dive shop, small casino, and free kayak rentals, it’s worth pricing out the more polished Infinity Bay Beach Resort.

Bananarama Beach and Dive Resort is a three-pearl oceanfront property on Roatan’s beautiful West Bay Beach. It’s 33 air-conditioned rooms, some with ocean views, are a mix of standard hotel rooms, cabanas, condos, and villas (the largest sleeps 12). Expect bright, colorful interiors with vibrant island art, king or queen beds, kitchenettes, and private balconies furnished with chairs and hammocks. A big draw are the hotel’s four restaurants, including a pricy, fine dining eatery and nightly oceanfront live entertainment. Hotel amenities include a full-service dive shop, free kayak rentals, free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, and a DVD library. Unfortunately, there’s no pool at Bananarama. For an oceanfront stay with a big pool and a quieter vibe, it’s worth pricing out the nearby Infinity Bay Spa and Beach Resort -- but rates are higher.

Grand Roatan Caribbean Resort is a four-pearl oceanfront resort at the very end of Roatan’s palm-lined West Bay and a short swim to amazing snorkeling. The 48 air-conditioned units (many with ocean views) are bright, with a contemporary-home polish, plus private balconies and free Wi-Fi. Some include full kitchens and outdoor showers. It’s one of the most posh resorts on West Bay and priced accordingly. There’s a huge infinity pool with walk-up pool bar, full-service dive shop, and a putting green. The beachfront restaurant serves local and international cuisines, but gets mixed reviews despite its gorgeous location and free breakfasts. For an oceanfront stay with a small casino, oceanfront bar, and freebies like kayaks and welcome massages, it's worth pricing out the nearby Infinity Bay Spa and Beach Resort.

Henry Morgan Resort is a three-pearl oceanfront all-inclusive property on Roatan’s gorgeous West Bay Beach. The resort’s pretty rundown and overdue for an update, especially the 156 suites, villas, and standard rooms. Expect white-walled rooms, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and private balconies with hammocks. The buffet restaurant is Henry Morgan’s best feature, and serves up tasty international and local cuisine. There’s also a beachside snack bar. The palm-lined beach has lots of plastic lounge chairs and a beachfront bar (that’s not part of the all-inclusive package). There’s also an outdoor pool, full-service SSI dive shop, gym, and a spa. Freebies include kayak rentals, walking tours, and fitness classes. For an oceanfront stay with multiple restaurants, hopping nightlife, and comfortable rooms, it’s worth checking out Bananarama Dive and Beach Resort.

Shangri-La Bed & Breakfast is a three-and-a-half-pearl hotel located in a secluded area of the West Bay district. The nine rooms at this intimate bed-and-breakfast are lovely and inviting. Each room features distinctive decor as well as flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges. Amenities are few but thoughtful -- a pleasant pool set within leafy grounds and a filling free breakfast. There are a handful of dining options within walking distance, but guests will need to rely on a rental car, taxi, or bus to reach the beach. It’s worth comparing rates and amenities with nearby La Cazetta Guest House and Cottages which has a pool and outdoor kitchen.

La Cazetta Guest House and Cottages is a three-pearl hotel located in West Bay. Its six guest rooms and cottages are cozy and clean, with cottages featuring separate living areas with sofa beds and full kitchens with ovens. The small property’s green grounds include a pleasant outdoor pool, barbecue facilities, and sitting areas in the gardens. But the beach is a 15-minute drive away, and there are only a couple of restaurants within walking distance, so a car is needed here. Travelers might want to compare amenities and rates with the nearby Shangri-La Bed & Breakfast.

Holiday Inn Resort Grand Cayman is a three-pearl hotel located on the eastern coast of Grand Cayman. While the decor in the hotel’s 114 guest rooms is run-of-the-mill, they’re nonetheless smart and tidy. All feature microwaves, mini-fridges, and private balconies, with suites offering full kitchens and extra living space. The hotel’s amenities, including the pool, restaurant, and fitness center, are decidedly mid-range -- adequate but not particularly remarkable. The drawbacks here are the beach, which is firm and not all that sandy, and the location, which is far from attractions and dining options; but the hotel does provide free shuttle service several times a day. For slightly higher rates, Comfort Suites Seven Mile Beach offers easy access to a beautiful stretch of sand, and it’s within walking distance of a number of restaurants.
