btrayfors suggestions are good ones for the price. Some positives are; close to the airport, on a nice beach that is a few feet from your room, probably in the $175/night range depending on deals. Some not so positives, taxi ride to anywhere, clean but very basic rooms.

The Mariott is OK but not on par with the other Mariotts you may be used to. If you want to be close to the downtown shopping district you might also look into the Galleon House which is a small hotel within 5 minutes from the "strip". There are a couple of very nice restaurants right next door. I would "not" wander around at night there or off the grounds of most hotels unless you are with somebody who is familiar with the area. Being around the shopping area/downtown does mean you will not be near the water.

Enjoy your trip.

Like redstripe, I am still alive and have had many friends/relatives return year after year to visit. Like most places, you just need to know where you should and should not go after dark.
