The Great Escape

Frommer's Review

This is the newest bed-and-breakfast on Vieques, and judging by the high-quality furniture, the large size, and the attentive maintenance of the place, one of the most appealing. It occupies a pair of blue-and-white concrete houses, set on the crest of a hill, in a rural neighborhood just north of Esperanza. Your hostess is Danuta Schwartzwald, a Polish émigré who selected Vieques as a place to live after years of self-imposed exile in Switzerland. You might feel just a wee bit isolated here, located as it is behind metal gates, at the end of a long, uphill, and rutted road from Route 201. But the size and solid, surprisingly upscale furnishings -- including some mahogany, four-poster beds, tiled floors, upscale bathrooms, and the sense of calm that reigns over the place might eventually persuade you that, indeed, this is a desirable, although uneventful, place to stay. No meals are served other than breakfast, but the staff and managers of this place will offer advice about nearby venues.
