Nephew looking for a cheap room. #123328 03/07/2017 06:56 PM

He asked for suggestions for an inexpensive place to stay for the night. I usually sleep on the boat the night before, so I don't know what to recommend.

Or he could just stay nearer to Beef at Tamarind. If he wants to be on the beach, I'd opt for Rhymers.

Going from EIS to West end..Fish n Lime is one expensive cab ride for someone asking for economy accomodations. He can walk to Mongoose..walk to dinghy dock in am an be picked up!
