    We truly enjoyed our stay at Malecon House. We were there for 2 nights while visiting Vieques, and I wish we had booked 1 more night. It's a gem of a spot and I can't wait to go back. To start, I booked 2 rooms on Expedia after researching where on the island we wanted to stay. When we were at the airport waiting on our connecting flight from San Juan, I received a call from the hotel, and immediately panicked. Usually, a phone call means you've lost your room or some other kind of catastrophe. Nope, they were just calling to make sure we knew where we were going and to see when we would be getting in. When we pulled up to the strip the Malecon is located on, the building stood out. Ultra modern, and quite frankly, the fanciest looking building in the area. Think South Beach boutique vibe. Check in was a breeze, and our guy (wish I had his name, he was awesome throughout the stay) gave us a tour and showed us to our rooms. The pool was a lot of fun to hang at. It's not a huge resort-style pool, but we really enjoyed lounging around and relaxing. There are also various courtyards to hang out and soak up some sun. We had rooms 3 and 4, which are located on the first floor (the rooms upstairs looked like they have an awesome balcony overlooking the water, fyi). Room 3 was perfect- we had a little sofa in the corner, and a pretty spacious bathroom compared to Room 4. Everything was clean and our air conditioner was on and running- who'd think you would be COLD in Puerto Rico?! The location of this hotel is great. We were on a strip with other hotels and bars and restaurants so we were able to walk to dinner and drinks. Across the street is a little boardwalk area with benches so you can look out to the water. We even had a little grocery type store a couple blocks away to pick up the essentials (waters, sunscreen, rum). Breakfast is served in the front courtyard area, and consisted of yummy scones that were still warm, fruit (the best mango ever!), yogurt, cereals. Not a huge breakfast, but definitely something to get you by until lunch. We ended up renting a jeep, and parking overnight was no issue. Our front desk guy was really helpful and pointed out beaches to check out and gave us all sorts of good information. Oh, and we were able to borrow beach chairs and boogie boards for the beach! Score! I even saw a few pieces of snorkel equipment. This was a great experience, I don't know that we would want to chance staying anywhere else on our next visit to Vieques.

    Another visit and another wonderful experiences. Thank you, Marsha and Robin! The gardens look wonderful, lots of flowers blooming all over the place. Love the secluded loungers in an alcove of plants for shade.

    Just returned from a 7 night stay here with my boyfriend and had a great time. He had gone to Vieques once before and stayed at Tradewinds next door, but this time he decided to spend a little more and it was worth it. Marsha and Robin were great! Very friendly and helpful. Any time we had a question (car rental, restaurant suggestions/reservations) Marsha was very helpful - she even called and set some of the reservations for us! As others mentioned the rooms were pretty sparsely decorated but if you're in Vieques, you shouldn't be spending most of your time in the room anyway. Rooms were cute and clean and pretty quiet although from time to time you could hear people running the shower in other rooms. Tenants were mostly families or couples it seemed. Everyone was polite and let you have your own space. The breakfast was simple but if you got there on time (close to 8 am), the muffins were still warm (yum)! Cute but small pool. Only swam in it once since we were at the beach everyday, but it's still nice to know it's there. I'm a big fan of the landscaping. So many beautiful plants and flowers fill the property creating a beautiful and serene escape from the busy main strip. There's a cute little boutique downstairs across the hall from where you check in. Lots of cute beachy styles, some at great prices! We would definitely stay here again!

    So relaxing Accommodating staff…read moreGood food Private pool I went blind into this bed and breakfast; first time to Puerto Rico. As always, I conducted a bunch of research, some say too much but they always ask me to find things for them... The name for the Hacienda Tamarindo is derived from Tamarindo trees on the property. If you go to Vieques there is a ferry they run all day. Ticket was two dollars. Vieques is a nature preserve so expect to see horses everywhere on the island. Oh yeah, roosters too. You need a rental car on the island. Well, at least I would recommend one and am glad I had one. There is no way to see the beaches without a vehicle. Hacienda Tamarindo will reserve your rental for you if you ask. Be aware that you may not want to arrive on the island before the rental company opens. If I'm ever on Vieques I will stay at the Hacienda Tamarindo.

    This was a great place to stay. It's a little older but most the hotels in Vieques are older…read more The room was clean and comfy with great views of the ocean and wild horses. Lots of kind kitties everywhere Hacienda Tamarindo had some great amenities. - the hotel booked our rental car so it was waiting for us when we got to the hotel - you can request they make lunch for you. When we woke up they had it ready to go in a cooler for us - breakfast is included, it not a buffet either, it's a nice sit down breakfast and they serve you - the pool is open 24/7. It has a cute fountain and again great views of the beach - each room comes with a hard side cooler you can take to the beach. - there is an honor bar where you can make your own drinks - you can rent snorkeling gear, beach chairs and umbrellas from them.

But regardless they offered to help arrange a taxi from the airport which was so nice, and then watched over our luggage while we explored the island until checkin (4pm). I have to highlight, when they say "unplugged" it means it - there is no tv in the room, wifi/cell is spotty and temperamental outlets, apparently common to the island, little nuances we hadn't expected, but dealt with. Our king room with lanai ocean views was exactly that! Once we got used to being "unplugged" we throughly enjoyed our stay. The brunch and dinner restaurant are very convenient. The bar is highly recommended/known by locals, as is the resort. A fabulous pool and beach access - the facility provided beach towels and chairs you can carry to the beach. After a long day exploring we'd either shut the curtains and cool off or sit on the lanai enjoying the views, warm breeze and watching the wild horses. The property is just absolutely beautiful and the staff so very nice.

The pool is accessible 24/7 which great too as most hotels close the pools at 10 pm. I also love the fact that there aren't any children taking over the pool as it's an adult only hotel. The guest services were polite and helpful. Couple downsides was we're having issues with the WiFi. And I also didn't like that there was no bathroom door. Unfortunately when we went there was a ton of seaweed on the black sand beach so it didn't look to nice but again that's not something they can control. But other than that. The food is good the bar service is nice but they do close at 9. And everything else about the experience was great!

When I reached out for assistance or some level of accommodation, Amanda's response was to "just take a plane, it's only an 8-minute flight." For a family of four, that's about $70 per person $280 one way with no guarantee of getting a ferry back. That could easily turn into another $280, bringing the total to $560. That's not a small or casual expense, and it felt unrealistic to suggest it so casually. What made this more frustrating is that I wasn't even asking for a full refund. I was simply hoping for some understanding and a reasonable accommodation given the situation. As a comparison, the car rental company we used showed genuine care without me even asking, they refunded 75%. That level of consideration stood out. In contrast, the response I received here felt dismissive. Instead of acknowledging the situation or the financial impact, it felt like assumptions were made about what I could afford. That's not the kind of customer service you expect when traveling with your family. Just something to keep in mind as you plan your stay customer service and empathy matter, especially when things don't go as planned.

I can't agree with the other reviewer more on the fact that it is quite possibly the awesome-est place to stay ever...and very difficult to describe the overwhelming amount of charm. time kinda stops (which is really nice if you are on vacation.) if you enjoy languid porch swings, fluffy clouds, beautiful views, sunkissed cheeks, peaceful hammocks, rum drinks, floating in water, watching lizards, carefree afternoons, sweet tropical fruits, beach glass, cat-naps + quiet-time this is the place for you! we didn't have to share a bathroom, because we rented the cabanita. it has it's own bathroom - a private outdoor shower. (oh bliss!) a tiny kitchenette...with fridge and two burner stove + it's own front porch. La Finca has many options for different types of travelers. The community house has shared bathrooms and kitchen and some little bed rooms like a hostel. It has a breezy open indoor/outdoor quality and plenty of perfect spots for a nap. There are larger more "luxury" cabins also that are secluded and less communal throughout the property... OR you and 49 of your closest friends could rent the entire place for a week! this option would be great for a big party, retreat, family re-union, wedding, yoga intensive, etc. -the salt water pool is amazing! it feels healing for your skin and doesn't stink like chlorine! but none of it is what you might be used to. the linens and towels don't match, there are no tvs, internets, newspapers, telephones, etc. no one wears shoes that much. they might rent you a convertible car without a top (and it might rain that day.) people are so completely laid back that there isn't even glass in any the windows! i felt really lucky to have landed in such a beautiful, down to earth place. The Inn Keepers are super kind and helpful and will make you feel right at home. Go when it isn't tourist season (late spring+summer) and you will find yourself totally alone on a crystal clear blue beach swimming with tropical fish for hours at a time. We felt so free, we got naked! La Finca and all of the island is really pretty rural -you'll have to be able to entertain yourself. bring books, instruments, crafts, bikes, rafts and bug spray! all we did the entire time we were there was: read, swim, drink, eat, drive around beach hopping and sleep. a real relaxing vacation!!! my only beware: the non-puerto rican transplants that have spent entirely too much time in the sun and burnt some of their brains off can talk/get/act/look really wacky. BUT: If you have never felt a trade wind, seen the stars without light pollution, taken a dip with glowing phytoplankton, photographed wild ponies or eaten a fresh tamarindo....you really have no idea what you are missing.

The appetizers were great, and the rum punch was by far the best, and that's where it went from having to having . While I was enjoying the shrimp, I bit into a plastic bag, I didn't make a big deal out of it. I just ordered another. And then I chomped down on another pice of plastic.
