Great atmosphere and Sunday brunch is the best on the island, staff was friendly and knowledgeable…read moreenjoy everything , highly recommended

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! DIRTY, UNPROFESSIONAL, DARK, NO WIFI…read more We were only here for one night and encountered an OBSCENE amount of issues. The main ones including lack of cleanliness, an infestation of insects (spiders, at least 40 mosquitos in our unit, termites, a cockroach, and tons of dead millipedes in this tiny place), URINE in the toilet when we arrived, a very unpleasant, stifling smell of bleach, completely unreliable WiFi, and the bedding and pillowcases did not appear clean. It was also MUCH smaller than the pictures in the listing. We slept on top of some clothing we brought and the dirty (but cleaner than the sheets) towels from the bathroom for two hours before waking up at 5 am to leave. It was not the trip we'd hoped for at all. We really wanted to work this out with the host, Samantha and not involve Airbnb or publicly express our experience, but we've been left with no choice. We wrote Samantha on Airbnb the night we encountered the issues and the next day (day we left). No response. We called Tradewinds (the B&B this is in) six times over that next week to rectify the situation, but Samantha never returned our calls. We emailed her after a week of no responses with all the photos we'd originally sent and a request for a conversation. She finally responded and told us to write this all in the Airbnb chat. We did. She never replied and denied our refund request. She wouldn't offer us anything and ignored us completely. Our stay itself was worth one star, but we didn't expect this customer service to be so disheartening. We've never had a stay or experience like this and have stayed in $10 hostels that were cleaner and nicer and we paid $200 for this! As a business owner/host, I would never let my guests get to this point - let alone have the experience they had. We are extremely disappointed in every bit of this experience. There are much cuter, cleaner and kinder places to stay in Vieques.

What can I say about this place…read more.. We've waited for 3 months to eat here. Once we settled down in our new place we decided it was time! We had the shrimp "all you can eat" as our main course, and conk fritters, and mozzarella sticks as appetizers. We also had a few cocktails. The appetizers were great, and the rum punch was by far the best, and that's where it went from having to having . While I was enjoying the shrimp, I bit into a plastic bag, I didn't make a big deal out of it. I just ordered another. And then I chomped down on another pice of plastic. The waitress was kind enough to take my meal of the bill. But never apologized, she just laughed it off. She was great, we did have to ask for more water a few times. I would recommend this place to travelers, it's a great location, and pretty good drinks.. And the VIEW IS EPIC!! A little dark but other then the plastic... Everyone else's food was spectacular!!

I will start by saying my boyfriend and I are avid travelers. We like good quality but also don't…read morewant to blow the bank and try to find a happy medium. We just returned from Vieques and are eagerly planning our next trip there! We stayed with Joe and Mimi and it was HEAVEN. From my first email exchange (after EXTENSIVE lodging research) I knew we had found our place to stay. When we arrived at their Casita, I hugged Mimi - she already felt like an old friend. Their place is ADORABLE, clean - perfect and has EVERYTHING you could possibly need during your stay from beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, etc.), aloe vera, bug spray, cozy towels, a fridge, coffeemaker, maps, great books to read, even yahtzee and scrabble. Seriously, you can pack light because they make everything SO comfortable and enjoyable. Great garden area and patio which you are welcome to use and enjoy... They are LOVELY people - really do feel like new friends. Joe and my boyfriend Brian bonded over beer and music while Mimi and I talked about everything else... We hung out with them on the Malecon and back at the casita - they were friendly and available but also let us enjoy ourselves - it was the perfect balance. Finally, on our last day, I had arranged for a publico to take us to the ferry but the driver never showed but Joe and Mimi had waited to make sure we got off okay so they saved the day and Joe took us to the ferry dock so we didn't miss our boat! Stay here... www.enchanted-isle.com/byowner/jaimes.htm We will see you as soon as we can Joe & Mimi! Best, Kimberley & Brian

Mixed feelings. So if you have a family with minor children, there are no nice hotels in Esperanza…read more All the nice hotels are for adults only. I ended up choosing this location because it was a 3 bedroom unit with a kitchen. We were not there long enough to use the kitchen, just the fridge. The rooms were dated and more like a cabin feel. It's a house converted to hotel. There was hot water, air conditioning, and a fridge. That's all you need in Vieques. It's so beautiful in this island that even camping out would be a great experience, but probably not if you have kids. Saw a few young couple do it and I was kind of jealous. It's very close to El Malicon. Great for an evening stroll. There's a nearby watering hole next door that gets a little wild on the weekends. By law it ends at 10pm and 11pm on Sundays, so not bad if the kids are trying to sleep. The price was kind of high, but everything else was booked. When you call the hotel, they don't really budge on changes to the reservation. Use Hotels.com or the like. They are more flexible with them. They have a pool, but I never used it. Who needs a pool when you have one of the most beautiful beaches in the world nearby. Rent a car for this adventure so you can drive to local beaches. The hotel lets you take umbrellas, lawn chairs, and coolers for your beach day. Nice accommodation for the guests. The person that checks you in is a cool elderly man, but with an attitude. Be cool and he'll be cool. He started by talking at me and in the end we were super cool. Don't take his attitude to heart. I'm sure he gets a lot of families with attitudes and that's just his armor to it.

Easy check in and close to the water and some amazing restaurants no matter the time of day!read more

This charming little place lives up to all expectations. We chose it based on internet reviews and…read moreare so pleased. It is quiet and charming (except for the very vocal roosters lol). The views are spectacular and it's so pleasant sitting either on our private balcony, at the pool or at the restaurant looking out over the harbors watching all the activities. The room we have is very large with a very comfortable bed, nice sofa and chairs. Bathroom is more than serviceable but not luxurious. I love the laid back pace. Sitting at breakfast chatting with the other guests, enjoying the swings at the pool, the out of this world dinner at the steakhouse. It's exactly the kind of relaxing getaway we needed!

Hey, everyone! If you're headed to St. Thomas and need a place to stay, look no further: Island…read moreView Guest House is IT. My husband and I just spent five incredible days there and can't recommend it enough. It's a stone's throw away from the airport, so super easy to get to. The hospitality is unmatched (Eileen is the BEST!), the rooms are large, clean and spacious, the beds are SO comfy and they've got this salt water pool where you can just relax and soak up the sun and some killer views of the ocean. And can we talk about breakfast?! Eggs, sausage, fresh fruit, toast, OJ, tea, coffee - all piping hot and made fresh for you every morning. Also, they've got this incredible on-site restaurant, Island View Steakhouse. Chef Marshall Bishop heads it up and trust me, the man's a genius. We unfortunately only dined there one night since we wanted to hit up all of the other "good" restaurants on the island and regret not having another dinner there. Every last thing about our meals, from appetizers to dessert, blew us away. Those meals were hands down the best we had on the island, and I think we knew it that night. I'm STILL dreaming about the perfectly prepared ribeye I had the pleasure of having. Honestly, it was the best I've ever had! Do yourself a huge favor and check out Island View Guest House and Steakhouse. I guarantee you won't regret it. And before anyone asks, no, I was not paid or asked to say any of this; i just wanted to give this little slice of heaven a shout out!
