this was languishing unread in my blog so brought it out if it can help others

The Following are accommodations I found to be the cheapest places, i'd stay in all of them again if i had a chance.. if you know of any cheaper or updates on the rates then let me know,


trinidad - POS - copper kettle - $25us
barbados - st.lawrence gap - rios guesthouse $32.50 us (up to 40us now)
grenada - st.george - mitchels g/h - $32 us
cariacou - paradise beach - banana joes - $20us (right behind paradise beach hotel)
SVG, Union island - kendricks g/h - 15us
SVG, Bequia - julies g/h - $33us
SVG, St. Vincent - kingstown - Leslie's G/H - $20us
St.lucia - Soufriere - Cascara g/h - $16us
st.lucia - castries - J's g/h - $18us
st.lucia - gros islet - marie therese bay view apartments - $24us **Best Deal In The Caribbean**
martinique - Fort-de-france- hibiscus hotel - $46us ..budget killer but cheapest there
dominica - 3rivers eco lodge- $20us
Antigua - english harbour - Pineapple house - $40us
Montserrat - salem - Hot rock hostel - $25
St.Maarten - coles bay - smilers crew house - $25
Dominican Republic - Santo Domingo - Residence Genoa -30 usd incl priv. kitchen
dominican republic - sosua - rockys bar - $25us
Haiti - Hotel Columbia - Cap Haitien - $10us
Haiti- Labidee - Norms Place - 30usd icl. meals.
Haiti - Port Au Prince - Walls Guesthouse - 30usd incl. meals

the prices would've got a little higher due to when i went to these places (2007).. but i'm sure they'll remain the lowest around town.. all are private rooms except 3rivers, pineapple hse and hot rock hostel..

hope this helps anyone attempting the Caribbean, which isn't as expensive as made out..
