I have done my homework, read all the archives, visited the websites, written emails and still do not know where to stay. Maybe someone out there can help. I need a two bedroom facility. I am traveling with 2 teenage boys and need to be near places that they can walk to and easily meet other kids their age.. preferably near a resort like Sanddollar or Captain Don's. But my budget will not allow paying resort prices. I'd like to see if I can find an apartment for about $125/night. We don't need anything fancy or a pool. I would prefer a smaller place but I do not want to be anywhere 'remote' where I end up playing chauffeur throughout my vacation. Thanks for your help.

If you dive. Call Kim @ Caradonna tours and they can fix you up on a very resonable package. We stayed at Divi. But I don't think they had separate bedrooms? Captain Don's had a good set up.

Have a look at Lions Dive, It may fall within your price range, it is in between Sand Dollar, Buddys Dive and Captain Don's, has a small pool. All rooms have kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. They do have a web site too.

The three right near Harbour Village are: Aqua Viva, Yacht Club and Eden Beach. The last two offer 2 bedroom units but I'm not sure about the rates.

The Divi and Carib Inn area is about the best choice to be able to walk into town. It's about 10 min walk from the Divi, but probably 20-30 min from Cap't Don's.

We've just come back from a stay at Eden Beach. Very nice accommodation, very friendly staff. The Wannadive operation is great and Bongos very casual and very popular, especially for the BBQ Friday nights. I'ts about 15-20 minutes walk into town, and close to the other dive operations to the north.

Highly recommend the resort and facilities

Judy, try SunRentals Oceanfront Apts. They have 2-bedroom units, with a pool and nice kitchens. They're about 2 blocks north of town right on the water. High season rates $110/night. We've stayed there 4 times and are always happy.
