8/10 Very good

Clean room. Good location. Eventhough the island is not cheap, I think this hotel in general is really overpriced for a 3* hotel.

Great place to stay and easy access to all in the island.

We didn’t check out at 10 am but the cleaning service opened the door directly even without any knocking. Scary!

The best situated hotel in the island of Vieques. Rooms were very comfortable and food at La Placita was great. This is a full service hotel
Peter, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved everything! All the workers were very nice and friendly. The hotel is in a perfect location with two beaches right in front, and several restaurants within walking distance. We also enjoyed the beach chairs they let you borrow, and the DJ rooftop set.
Ana, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our stay was pretty amazing! Except for one day were they clean the room I they took the towels but they were never SUPER inconvenient! We got them around 12:30am Other than that great location, hotel restaurant and rooftop are pretty amazing! Highly recommend it!
briseida, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at El Block for two nights weeks after a storm and there was a lot of seaweed all over the beaches, so in all fairness we did not get the best Viequez experience. But the hotel was well worth the price, very clean, and in a great location when weather conditions are normal. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I would totally recommend it.
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Craig, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

It seems that it is family run and they protect each other, so no one can complain. The restaurant has a dress code... it's weird when you're on the beach and it's the only activity you can do... very weird, but uncomfortable.
Dietmar, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Definitely needs some TLC

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 Initial room smelled like smoke, so changed to another room which was smaller, out of date and dirty.

Great location and service

We checked in on thanksgiving and stayed for one night. The hotel was very busy. The staff were super helpful with check in, recommending restaurants around and places to snorkel. The hotel restaurant Placita has nice thanksgiving dinner which we booked ahead of time. The location of the hotel is very nice since it is right across the meeting point of Taino bio bay kayak tour. It is also close to a few restaurants with vegetarian options. Right across the hotel there's a place for renting golf carts and snorkelling gear as well. The hotel room is comfortable but the AC is always very cold even though we turn up the temperature already. There's no TV in the room. Rooftop is very nice, with a bar and a hot tub there. The checkout time is at noon, they allow us to store our luggage there for a few hours there, and when we come back they let us use the shower and lent us beach towels without charge before we head to the airport. Probably the best hotel in Esperanza and the most convenient if you're going to bio bay.
So Yee, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful property with some hick ups. Fan in room turned on by itself, mist likely caused by the neighboring rooms control. Was a bit scary as it sounded like it would fall off any minute. The bottle proved for guest was dirty and smelled like mould, the cups smelled of cigarette. Bed however was super comfortable. The roof very beautiful. We dined at the restaurant. During the reservation I was asked if we are celebrating a special occasion which I was celebrating my birthday. Not just did we have to wait for 30 minutes for the waiter to acknowledge us after being seated by the host but no mention of my birthday. Service was rather underwhelming considering how outstanding the food was.

This place hits in all the right spaces. The architecture is top, location is great, food is tasty, and its team is the BEST! Shaly and Keila are TOP NOTCH! We’re so thankful! Every time, the experience is unforgettable. Can’t wait to return 🌟

I arrived early by long walk and the staff (Denice) was kind to let me check in way too earlier than usual check in time. Everyone here is very helpful and friendly. This adds to enjoyment of the trip to such a wonderful place
