    I liked everything for what I was looking for.

    Great location and extremely nice people. This is not a luxury room, it is for minimalist, the room offers a clean place to sleep and a shower. Great for a weekend getaway. Lazy Jacks bar is attached and extremely busy. Open till 1 am with food and drink. Great staff!

    Slightly moldy in shower. I had to throw out the plastic curtain. The town/island had a weird, hostile vibe. Lots of rude people, bums and drunks. There was even a big fist fight on the ferry over from cieba. Also most of the "protected" section of the island is closed because there's UXO/stray bombs. I think they are somewhat misleading about this online. There's only a few accessible remote beaches.

    It was a cozy spot to stay for inexpensive. The bar nearby is a great spot but slightly expensive. The breakfast place next door is excellent! The town is very cute and picturesque along the shoreline.

    There’s no natural light. There is only WiFi in the common area outside the guest room and something about the construction seems to prevent cell service from reaching inside the rooms too so you are essentially disconnected when in your room. Which I guess is fine if you’re there to completely unplug, but I found it very frustrating not to be able to do things like call my partner from bed before going to sleep (he wasn’t with me on the trip) or look up the beaches I wanted to go to while taking 20 minutes to hang in the air conditioning. I was mainly annoyed since the rooms are advertised as having WiFi and I don’t appreciate false advertising. Secondly, the room was clean but only speciously so. I looked under the bed to make sure I hadn’t left anything when packing and it was clear they haven’t vacuumed under it in months. The drawers also had some hair and grime in them that I had to wipe out myself. Finally, I didn’t get a single good nights sleep because of the noise. I didn’t read the fine print but there is a bar attached to the guest house that stays open until 2 am, with music and all the normal sounds of drunken parties. You definitely need to bring ear plugs. They say they have them for you but didn’t actually have them when I asked. Earplugs should be fine for covering the bar sounds but because the WiFi doesn’t work in the rooms you also have guests sitting in the common area using their phones/watching videos and the doors don’t block this sound at all. And even if you manage to get to sleep, other guests getting up in the morning and just shutting their doors sounds like slamming. Oh, one last thing and it’s small but they only give you 2 bath towels and no hand towels or any other kind of towel. It was okay for me as a solo traveler, but if you had a second person, I guess you’re stuck drying yourself with a towel that’s damp from drying your hands? Also, don’t forget to bring your own beach towel.

    Location was great, just a few steps and you’re on the Malecon, walking along the water. Beds were comfortable and there was decent water pressure with water that gets very hot. It’s self check in and out, but the hosts are pretty responsive via text. Air conditioning works well. All the staff at the adjoining bar are great (just don’t bother them when they are busy! That place gets slammed!)

    There's no reception, so you don't really see anybody who works there... So nosy in the nights. Beds so uncomfortable. A lot of mosquitos.

    Good location. Next to the Main Street and beach walk side. Restaurants and beaches walkable. Once you do the check out you can leave the luggage there and even you can use the shower and bathroom later in the day before you leave. This are in the common areas. Once you do the reservation, they send you a list of things and option to do.

    Didn't realize there would be no shampoo or body wash/soap. Couldn't really see any details on the booking sight. They did provide towels.

    Super friendly staff. Close to the bio bay excursion. Many restaurants near by. Beds were comfy for the overnight. We checked out at 11 and our flight back didn't leave till 4pm. We were able to keep our bags in the courtyard instead of lugging them around. If you go, check out the food truck called the lunchbox across from El block, fish tacos were amazing!

    Great location! Affordable. No WiFi in rooms, though....

    • Stayed 1 night

    WiFi isn't available in the rooms. In fact, the room was the only place on the island I also couldn't get data service. So I had no Internet in my room, only the common area of Lazy Guesthouse. That is my #1 complaint as I like surfing the web while I'm in bed -- especially on vacation where I'm planning my next day's events. I contacted host to see if it was working properly since standing right outside the property my phone wouldn't even pick up the network. They said it works in the common areas only. We were also in a room near the restaurant, which was extremely loud very late at night. We were waking up at 4:45am to leave on an early ferry, so that was an unwelcome disruption.

    The location is fantastic in that it's extremely close to the beach and Lazy Jack's restaurant. It was affordable for the location. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed having a private bathroom in the suite. The room was extremely clean. We liked keyless entry. The location worked extremely well for us as we were visiting mostly beaches and the bio bay based out of Esperanza.

    This was my first and last time on Vieques.

    The property outside the room is in bad shape (old, dirty) - like most of the islands infrastructure. Considering the state of everything on the island (accommodation, roads, walking trails, bars, markets, …) it is unbelievably expensive. Everything is touristy and fake. During the stay I was not allowed to park the car inside the courtyard, with the explanation that it is reserved for scooters and golf cars. But there was no one else there! Since I was on a business trip, I needed an invoice for the stay. Although, they took the full amount from my credit card 2 weeks earlier, I had to write and beg for the invoice even after we already left. That is unacceptable.

    The room was nice, small but clean. The location is OK; close to the beach, but the beach there is rocky and full of rubbish. The air condition and Wi-Fi were working. It is great to have a bar and restaurant so close (Lazy Jacks), and the staff there was friendly.

    The a/c made the room pretty chilly at night, but that might just be me.

    The location was excellent, right in Esperanza and across the road from the sea. It’s walking distance from everything in town. The room was very clean, tastefully furnished, and I really liked how the shower and toilet are separate from the sink. If you rent a golf cart while in Vieques, you can park it in the courtyard of the hotel.

    It's a decent place to sleep, wake up, and walk to the beach!

    These private rooms are located in a fenced in area in kind of a connected motel style, behind the bar and hostel, and not within sight of the ocean. It is a graveled lot so don't bring any rolling luggage that you can't carry. No mini-fridge but the kitchen has one nearby.

    LOCATION! Though not ON the beach it was simply a 2 minute walk away. AC did its job for the hot and humid summer. Pizza at the restaurant was tasty. Allowed our toddler to stay art no extra charge. Shower was warm. Room 17 had no noise from the bar that others have complained about – that specific room is a great pick for a family on an early schedule so request it if you can!
