Fodor's Expert Review Bell Channel Inn

Right on the water and a short walk from 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 down-under 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 evenings. Rooms are simple but clean and include refrigerators, free Wi-Fi, and views of the canal. There is a pool on-site as well as a full-service professional dive shop (ask about dive packages).
