Hotels in Vieques

This congenial little place is right in the midst of the action, and has waterfront rooms, to boot. Yes, digs tend to be tiny and Spartan (basic wood-frame furniture, ceiling fans, screened-in porches), but they’re meticulously well kept. Spend extra to get a room with…

Forgot your snorkel gear or floaties? That’s not a problem at this gracious, family-run property. The staff keep a stash of everything you’d need for the beach and loan it out for free, just the first hint that the friendly, resourceful people who work here go beyond the usual to…

This adorable guesthouse is decorated with flair and care (the mattresses are superb), with a staff that make guests feel like family. To that end they’ll lend you, free of charge, beach chairs, coolers, and other beach gear and maintain an honor bar for beers and bottled water.…

A true bargain in the heart of Esperanza, Casa Flamboyán rents four colorful, attractive and meticulously clean rooms; each has a private terrace with knockout ocean views. You’re right above Duffy’s restaurant and walking distance to everything in the village, but with its…

On the road to Isabel Segunda from Esperanza, this cozy inn offers unpretentious, comfortably furnished doubles and suites with kitchenettes. The beautiful pool area and flourishing grounds are set on 5 lush acres (you’ll see wild horses roaming nearby). There is good value here if…

This exquisite, artfully decorated inn is set around a huge tamarind tree, from which the property takes its name. The decor (lovely, with mosaic tiles and dark wood furnishings) is by the original owner, a well-respected interior designer, and the maintenance is topnotch. The only…

No glass windows separate guests from the elements at this zen, innovative, eco-lodge. Designed by award-winning architect John Hix entirely of poured concrete, mosquito netting and retractable doors are used in the rooms when the elements get fierce. But that’s a rare occurrence,…

Spread across a bluff outside Esperanza that overlooks a pristine swath of the southern coast, this resort’s top selling points are its lush grounds and the serenity it affords guests. TV, in-room phones and children under 16 are all forbidden here. As well, a Mediterranean spirit…

Although it’s located in the middle of the island, just a short ride to the island’s beaches and restaurants, La Finca has the feeling of being on a remote lush hillside, deep in the wilds of a far-off paradise. Guests can look over all that nature from the huge terrace in the main…

Warm, attentive service and a great location (within walking distance of the shops and restaurants of Esperanza, but still quiet) keeps Malecón House filled with repeat guests. Yes, its high season rates approach what you’d expect to pay at a full-scale resort, but most who stay…

Trade Winds is a triple-C property: cheap, comfortable, and clean. And that’s about it, though rooms do have air-conditioning, ceiling fans, and small fridges. The hotel also rents a 1-bedroom apartment and 2-bedroom house nearby. Two other plusses: an excellent breakfast at the…

Though it doesn’t have much of an island vibe, the W offers high style, a cosmopolitan social scene and very cushy rooms to its guests. The main building is quite handsome, with a chic bar and formal restaurant, plus the Living Room lounge with plush furnishings, bar service, books…
