Vacations don't come cheap. Plane fare. Luggage fees. Cabs. Beach chair rentals. Even those umbrella drinks add up. So ISLANDS magazine has found some ways to keep the green inside your wallet.

We've found more than a dozen amazing beachfront hotels that cost $200 or less per night. And we're sharing our five favorites with you here. So get ready to pack, because these are travel deals you can't pass up on.

Five Best Beachfront Hotels for $200 a Night or Less

Idle Awhile — Negril, Jamaica(01 of05)

Bigger isn’t necessarily better on Negril’s famed strip. Small wonders at this boutique resort include a welcoming staff that makes you feel like long-lost family and delectable ackee and saltfish at Chill Awhile, the beachfront dining deck. From $140, idleawhile.com. | While you're there, check out our best snorkeling spots in the Caribbean.

Numero Uno Guest House — Ocean Park, Puerto Rico(02 of05)

This romantic 11-room inn, formerly a private home, sits on one of Puerto Rico’s less traveled beaches, and although lively San Juan is minutes away, stay here to hole up in blissful tranquility. From $89, numero1guesthouse.com. Have more money to spend? Check out our list of the Top 30 all-inclusive resorts.

Secret Harbour — St. Thomas, USVI(03 of05)

The resort now offers beachside service from Cruzan Beach Club, its Caribbean-Southwest fusion restaurant. From $195, secretharbourusvi.com. Did this club also make the list of best beach chair views of the Caribbean?

Sibonne Beach Hotel — Providenciales, Turks and Caicos(04 of05)

Here at Provo’s first hotel on its most famous strand, 12-mile Grace Bay Beach, you’ll be staying on the very same strip as the (not so) poor saps in the neighboring wallet-wrenching high-rises — but for about a quarter of the cost. From $110, sibonne.com. Best Top 10 lists of resorts, family vacations, snorkeling, all-inclusives in reviews by ISLANDS travel experts

Sorobon Beach Resort — Lac Bay, Bonaire(05 of05)

There was a time when this resort was known only to Dutch naturists. But after the windsurfers discovered it in the ’80s, it has become a favorite of super-fit kayakers, kiteboarders and windsurfers, who flaunt their physiques at the beach bars between sessions on the water. From $200, sorobonbeachresort.com. See our full gallery of beachfront hotels for $200 a night or less.
