Fodor's Expert Review Bell Channel Inn

Right on the water and a short walk from the Port Lucaya Marketplace, this charming family-run (through three generations) inn with simple-yet-spacious rooms has quick and easy access to the island's best underwater sites, making it perfect for scuba-oriented and budget-minded travelers. The hotel's quaint, convivial restaurant bar serves seafood and good spirits, and both locals and guests gather for nightly happy hours and live music on Thursday evening.
