Emerald Isle, N.C., in the Outer Banks is a good vacation option.
Victor Owens, vice president at hotels.com, names three great-value destinations now based on how much customers paid for rooms.

47. South Lake Tahoe, Calif.
Average room price: $113, down from $119 in 2009
"Non-holiday weekends are the time to find deals and discounts here; there's great swimming, golfing, hiking, and mountain biking."

48. Emerald Isle, N.C.
Average room price: $100, down from $121 in 2009
"This beach town, on the Outer Banks, is laid back and family-friendly. Scuba divers come from all over to explore the wreckage of a World War II U-boat."

Dublin, Ireland
Average room price: $117, down from $125 in 2009
"Ireland's economic troubles have made it one of Europe's best values. Many hotels give extras such as breakfast, happy hour, and free Internet."
