"The 61-room Caribbean Villas Hotel is a two-and-a-half pearl waterfront property with a rustic tropical vibe, just a 15-minute beach walk from central San Pedro." Full review
Fodor's "It may not be as modern as some of the island's newer resorts, but Caribbean Villas, with its gardens, pleasant quiet beachfront, and fun two-story waterslide, is an affordable and low-key alternative to the glitzier developments." Full review

Choose from remodeled suites brightened with Guatemalan fabrics, or the cheaper standard rooms.
Lonely Planet "Boasting one of the widest stretches of beach south of town and two pools, this well-run resort is good value especially for families, who'll love the giant slide into the sea." Full review
