Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Micronesia, Federated States of

Hi there
I am doing a little research on costs of budget accommodations and cheap meals in micronesia. anyone have any thoughts on what i could get away with paying for a cheap hotels and 3 inexpensive meals?
ideas would be greatly appreciated
many thanks, cheers, linda

Obviously it depends what part of Micronesia you're in. When I was on Yap main island I camped on a beach for US$5 per night. Hotels are WAY more expensive although I know of a beach hut you can rent for US$35 per night. In Colonia, the capital of Yap, you can get a huge, tasty meal in a restaurant for US$5 as well. In the Outer Islands I never paid for food or accommodation, just bought a big bag of food, betel nut and cigarettes with me and shared them around.
