I do know there is something between budget accommodation and good quality accommodation that is a ridiculous question. Unfortunately MRU is one of a few destinations I can think of where accommodation options tend to be rather polarised. There is a relatively small independent sector offering cottages and apartments, there are a few choices which would be deemed mid market (3 to 4 star) The Pirogue and Cocoa Beach spring to mind here and then you have the higher end 4.5 to 5 Star properties which make up a disproportionate amount of the local accommodation market. So whilst it is generally true that there is a medium ground between a Travelodge and 5 star hotel, this middle ground is remarkably thin in MRU. I think it is a fair reflection of the local market to describe properties like the Pirogue as in the budget spectrum.

Had you spent any time getting around MRU and truly experiencing it as a destination you may have made this conclusion yourself. MRU is one of those destinations like perhaps the Maldives and French Polynesia where the Government has deliberately eschewed mass package tourism (no charter flights are allowed to MRU), which helps to keep the quality of visitors up and has left a very definite impression upon the nature of local hotel development. If we get right down to it this lack of charter flights and lack of strong competition in the market for scheduled flights makes it relatively expensive to get to MRU. This makes MRU a relatively exclusive destination which is part of it's overall appeal to many (myself included).

A typical BA J flight to MRU costs in the region of £2k even in relatively low season, I wouldn't pay £2k for a flight and then spend less than £200 a night on a hotel, if that hotel put me in the bottom quartile for the quality of those available on the island. So I can get that MRU will not be everyone's cup of tea in the way that the Maldives are not everyone's cup of tea, as it is difficult and expensive to reach and the better accommodation options are considerably more expensive than those in Asia or the Caribbean or the US for instance. However for those prepared to pay the price MRU offers a relatively unique experience in part because of the lack of mass market package tourists and the infrastructure normally created to serve them.

As to the insults and once again accusing me of "making stuff up" because I disagree with you I will leave that to the Mods to address.
