Budget Accommodation
 
Hi Everyone. I'm planning a trip to St Lucia during the summer of 2016 and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a cheap place to stay. Proximity to a beach would be a plus.

Cheap for one person is expensive for another. To give good advice, people need specific numbers or at the least a range.

Ideally less that $20 U.S. a night. I'll be willing to spend more if the place has any sort of location that's REALLY worth it.

$20US/night??? Are you being facetious or is that a typo and you mean $200US???

Haha. Not being facetious at all. I'll be travelling through St Lucia, Martinique and Dominica over the course of 2 months and would like to do it as cheaply as possible. The lowest I'm getting on airbnb is $20 so I'm wondering if there's anything cheaper.

You have got to be kidding. Even on airbnb $20 would probably be very sketchy.

hey goodnight. Unfortunately with just 20us you are not likely to get a place especially not close to a beach. How many nights are you looking forward into?

I saw some Airbnb's for $35-45. That was the cheapest and they were not on the beach. Looks like that may be the best you could do.

I actually found 2 places for $20 and they seemed decent enough. Basically just apartments near Castries.
The $35-$45 price-range has a lot more options so depending on how I plan my spending on the other islands, I could afford to stay somewhere a bit more expensive.
