This place was so pretty and cool! We really enjoyed the rooftop. It’s also walking distance to the Bio Bays tours and a bunch of nice restaurants. Would definitely come back and stay here again!

Very nice staff. Rooms are basic but well designed. Enjoyed the balcony. Complimentary morning coffee and water filling station on second floor. The rooftop is beautiful and open 24 hrs, even when the bar is closed up there. Walkable to many restaurants and bars. Can hear some of the street noise (or loud car radios) from our room but we could sleep through it. Would recommend.

Nice hotel but a disappointing experience
We chose this hotel because it received consistently high ratings, had a well-regarded restaurant in-house and was conveniently located for the activities we wanted to do while in Vieques. The location is indeed very convenient. It's right across the street from the pier and beaches and our tour operators picked us up right in front of the hotel. It was also in very good condition andthe views from the rooftop terrace amazing. The less-than-great parts were that the restaurant hotel, which we really needed given the variability in local food options, was closed the entire time we stayed there. The restaurant and rooftop bar are only open Thursday through Monday, and there is no breakfast food or beverages of any kind on site other than water and ok coffee on the morning. Our primary disappointment about our stay was the attitude of the front desk staff, who to a person acted like we were inconveniencing them from the time we checked in until we left. It is for this reason alone that w will stay somewhere else the next time we visit Vieques. I guess the digital bracelet room keys were novel.

Definitely needs some TLC
Rooms were dirty and there was a musty smell. Initial room smelled like smoke, so changed to another room which was smaller, out of date and dirty.
