Some of the negative reviews here make it obvious that the folks who wrote them did not know anything about the place before they booked. It seems crazy to me to complain about airport noise when you are literally next to the airport. They don't have a shuttle service from the airport because the taxi associations rules don't allow it.... More

Stayed night before yacht charter trip. Room 129. Door opened into bed. Bathroom was a nightmare, very old and dingy, sink dripped and didn't drain. It was the 2 star hotel it lived up to. HOWEVER… stayed night after yacht charter trip. Was placed in another building and wow! what a difference! Room 215 felt like a Hawaiian vacation! Nice... More

The room overall was clean and basic, reminding me more of a Motel 6. We spent $219, including fees, for a discounted night. The Good: -Closest Hotel to the airport, less than 1/4 mile, easily walkable with little luggage; -Clean; -Pleasant Customer Service; -Adequate View (but not as nice as described) The Bad: -Check-In is 4:00 pm and strictly adhered...

Can walk in 5 minutes from the airport, so if you just need a place to crash after arriving late, this is passable. Nothing fancy TO BE SURE, would not want to spend time here, but a dip in the pool after a long flight and a drink then off to bed, for a cheap nite before getting your sailboat,... More

We stayed two nights - once on the way down and once on the way back - from a yacht charter and the Best Western Carib was very close and comfortable. There was an issue with water discoloration but this was a city issue and not the hotels fault. Adjacent restaurant Fajitas was very tasty with a nice atmosphere. Great... More

This would be a good choice if you need a place near the airport for a night. I wouldn't recommend for much more than that. Definitely can walk to/from airport even with bags. Just a dated hotel. There is, as my 7 year old put, a "fake beach". There's a sandy area next to the bay, but no water access.... More

We stayed here last November on the night before traveling home from a sailing charter. We arrived near dusk so we didn't get a chance to really explore the property but enjoyed 2 meals at the restaurant down the steps and really appreciated the close proximity to the airport. Our rooms were clean and spacious so we were happy. One... More

Carib Beach is a great location for those who need to overnight before continuing on or returning fromother islands, but also for longer stays as we are close to downtown(2.5miles) and lots of attractions.
