Reviews and Ratings
This hotel is a gem for a memorable anniversary trip, offering beautiful light-filled dining on the 3rd floor with glimpses of the beach and ongoing reconstruction. The service is top-notch, embracing the laid-back island style and providing various amenities like car hire, laundry, and happy hour. The location is ideal, just steps away from nightlife spots in Vieques and conveniently close to rental kiosks and restaurants. The dining experience, while featuring excellent regional products, lacked warmth and attention to details. The facilities are comfortable with a few minor drawbacks.
I had a great stay at the hotel! The rooms were very nice, comfy, and cool, and the staff was extremely friendly. The complimentary continental breakfast was a definite highlight. However, there was a slight musty odor in the rooms, possibly due to the humid environment, which was a small drawback.
I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The rooms on the 3rd floor are big, bright, clean, and cheery, though they do feel a little damp due to the humidity. The service was super helpful, especially with questions and providing recommendations like 'sahumerio'. The location is excellent, surrounded by restaurants and bars, and very close to attractions like the wildlife refuge and Bio Bay tour pick up. The dining experience offered a variety of delicious options, but some improvement is needed in the service aspect. Overall, a great value for money with fantastic amenities available.
