I'm looking at booking a room in May. Which is the better area to stay - West Bay Beach or West End?

HI,

I am in West End at the moment, what I like a lot.
West Bay or West End? Depends, what you expect. IN West Bay you will find a lot of big Resorts, with all kinds of services. Most of them have their own dive centre, restarant, bar and are located at the beachfront. In West Bay you will also find luxurious apartments or houses to rent. If you want to relax on the beautiful beach West Bay is a good place to be. But you won't find any restaurants, bars, groceries in West Bay. If you want to be less independent from your Resort, West Endf is the better choice. The beach is nice too, you find a big amount of bars, dive centres, souvenirshops and the cruiseshippers, who come some days a week won't annoy you. (The most of them come to West Bay and fill up the beach)

hope i could help you
if you have any questions about which accommodations are nice, maybe I can help you too.

good luck

West end is cheaper, west bay has better snorkelling. If you want ot go REALLY cheap, go to Valeries Hostel, west end.
