This hotel was well situated and has an artsy modern design. The terrace is awesome and the layout is fun. The bed was small, but comfortable. The staff were friendly and engaging and it felt safe, secure and it was quiet . The restaurant is open from Thursday to Sunday and the food was great. Tours pick up across the hotel which is convenient.

The room was ok, we were there on a Wensday the rooftop and restruan was closed. we can back from night tour around 10PM and nothing opens, beside lazy jacks, and they dont offer takeout. it was a pain to get food after 10pm

Excellent hotel in Esperanza. The staff was absolutely amazing..everyone we saw welcomed us and had great recommendations. I would highly recommend this property if you're visiting the island

Great restaurant and bar, food was great and staff was always friendly and helpful

We stayed here because we did the bioluminescent with Taino and they meet in the lobby here. Beds were very comfortable and restaurant dinner was AMAZING!. Bathrooms were small bit not a deal breaker. Would definitely stay here again. We stayed on Thursday.
4.3
Prices are too high. The property is more like a Parador/Motel than a Hotel.

Clean hotel and rooms with a nice balcony. Great location, as beach and restaurants within walking distance.
4.3
The design of the hotel was really cool. The view from the roof was amazing. The food at the restaurant and the drinks at the rooftop bar were horrible and overpriced. Some of the staff were nice, but overall not very welcoming.

We stayed for one night before we checked into our villa for our wedding. It was good for the most part, except the elevator being out of order and them putting us on that floor where it didn’t work. Three nights later we came to visit some friends who were here for our wedding and staying at El Blok. The lady at the hostess stand threatened to kick our friend out of the hotel if we went up to her room and saw it briefly. She was incredibly rude to us and our friend, despite us being the reason 6 people stayed there for almost a week. After that treatment, we won’t be back. I’d recommend checking out any of the dozens of other options that are just as nice and will treat you with kindness and respect. Casa de Amistad is a better option. El Blok is not it.

Great experience

Best hotel on the island. Keep in mind only the hotel rooms are air conditioned. They are strict with can’t check in any time before 4 and much be out not later than 12. Transportation is very limited on Sundays and Monday (not sure about other days because we were only there those 2 days). Bar, restaurant and rooftop service is also very limited. But Sunday Funday after 6 was extremely nice. Prefect for sunset, great music and really good strong drinks. They had elevator issues so we had to use the stairs a lot which was a huge inconvenience.
4.3
Very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful rooftop bar w hot tub. It's location is prime to the beach, lots of food different food options, and transportation options. The restaurant in the hotel was also excellent. Was able to rent an atv and explore about 5 different beaches on the island, and make it to the Crab Rum distillery on just a half tank of gas.
4.3
I paid more than $300 per day and the room don't have TV, the elevator don't work properly (I used the stair to going down) and the service was very poor.
4.3
Great place to stay and easy access to all in the island.

The staff were all really friendly and accommodating and the location was wonderful for excursions out of Esperanza. The room itself was a bit cramped, though.

convenient, friendly staff, will be back!

Perfect launch pad for bioluminescent bay and beaches!! Great view from the hot tub on the roof
4.3
Great location, great restaurant (the pork Osso was incredible), comfy bed. The staff go above and beyond, with grace and friendliness that made my stay all the sweeter.
4.3
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!
4.3
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.
4.3
It was unfortunate that the lobby and roof bar are closed midweek. Very disappointing.
Also, I am waiting for my $250 security charge to be refunded.
4.3
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.
4.3
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.

Best place to stay here.

Way overpriced. No dinning available, no rooftop bar available. nothing at all to do here except sleep. I excepted a bit more bang for this overpriced hotel. The hot water is sketchy at best, we were given some advice on how to get hot water in the shower, which had something to do with turning on the sink first. The positive, the building and rooms are trendy and nice to look at.
4.3
Hotel and staff was great. Restaurant La Placita not so much. Food was ok, not superb as before. Executive chef left and opened El Plaza in Isabel II, food there was awesome!
4.3
Good

Easy to find, easy parking across the street- no issues. Safe area.
Hotel is fun and clean. Ice cold AC in the room and comfortable bed made for a great night sleep after beach hopping and snorkeling all day.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Would stay again 100%

AMAZING PLACE. GREAT LOCATION. EXCELENT SERVICE. 100% RECOMMENDED
4.3
It's important to remember that Vieques is small and there aren't that many options. I had a positive stay here.
Lady at the front is super cheerful and helpful! This hotel has a personality and style of its own! It's super chic. You can rent beach chairs and towels which are fashionable and a reflection of their unique style. They also provide wristbands that are waterproof and serve as your room key as well- how innovative??? You can watch the sunset on the rooftop!
There is complimentary coffee in the morning, both hot and iced with a variety of milks to choose from.
Some negatives...no public bathroom downstairs. The restaurant downstairs has limited days. There is no television in the room. We found a lizard in our room which was still there after cleaning came in and made our bed. The jacuzzi on the roof had two warning signs, 1. the water hadn't been changed in 10 days and 2. the filter needed to be replaced.
4.3
This hotel is very cute and boutique-like experience. It was also very CLEAN!
The room was quite large and we had a large balcony with an outdoor shower… essential for a beach trip. The bedding and towels were all very clean. They had great products in the bathroom and a STEAMER!
The roof had a jacuzzi which was perfect for watching the sunset and a night cap. There was a bar on the roof but it wasn’t open the nights we were staying.
The restaurant downstairs was top tier. We had no trouble walking in even though they recommended a reservation.
They offer free towels and chairs for the beach which were both good quality/condition.
We felt safe and welcome. Would definitely recommend.
It is across the street from a beautiful beach and at the beginning of a street with a few restaurants and bars. Plenty of parking around the property.
4.3
Beautiful property. Room was pleasantly fresh and inviting.

It is a nice hotel with friendly staff. The retautant is excellent but only opens from Thursday to Sunday
