Work hard, Play hard! I had a wonderful stay at Bravo Beach Hotel in Vieques, PR! From the moment I…read morearrived, the front desk staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making check-in a breeze and offering great local recommendations. The property is maintained very well and offers a peaceful, laid-back atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind. My room was clean and came with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The hotel is right on the beach, and the minimal noise made it easy to relax and enjoy the soothing sound of the ocean waves right from my room. Waking up to that view and sound each morning is an amazing thing. Watching the sunsetting in the evening was perfect. If you're looking for a quiet, clean, and welcoming place to stay in Vieques, Bravo Beach Hotel is a fantastic choice.

However, not really hotel levels of service. No housekeeping, even though I stayed for a week. I'm not a messy person, but still. My room was on the second floor, and no offer of assistance with my luggage. More of an air b and b place, but without the breakfast. I might stay there again if traveling by myself

The hotel is situated at the end of the busy boardwalk and this end of the street was relatively quiet. The hotel staff was impeccable, full of local recommendations. Breakfast each morning was scrumptious and the coffee was strong and tasty. They provided beach chairs, beach umbrella, coolers and ice, and unlimited beach towels. We didn't get to try the pool, but it looked nice! 4 ft deep all around so good for folks looking to lounge. We stayed in the Deluxe King room (room 6) and the natural light streaming in throughout the day and the ocean views were perfect. If you're planning on spending some time on the balcony of this room, bring your bug spray! Overall, highly recommend. We'd stay here again!

A little upset that I tried it on my last visiting day because I should've been eating here everyday from the start! That's how great it is. I believe I ordered the shank! It looked too good to eat haha. Very juicy and tender. The rice and beans had a delicious flavor. The hotel in itself is very unique and remarkable in itself. It truly feels local to the island and its history. The architecture is breathtaking. I specifically enjoyed the rooftop with optional seating and a jacuzzi/pool. I enjoyed that there were too many people in the hotel during my stay which allowed my visit to be more intimate with the locals/area and the intricate designs the hotel offered. It was also a plus that coffee and tea was offered in the morning. I was especially happy with the oat milk option.

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.

Such a beautiful place approx a mile from Esperanza. They were so helpful, they have a webpage…read morewhich has many links on their FAQs - this so helped us. 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.

It's a beautiful hotel right on the water, there's wild horses that roam the grounds, mongooses,…read morelizards, and birds. There's a bar and restaurant there too. 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!

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.

Surrounded by nature this place offers you a space to restart, refresh and rejuvenate your body and soul. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is one of serenity and tranquility accompanied with the most amazing and attentive staff. The rooms are stunning with a rustic cozy vibe. I've stayed in different cabins but my favorite is the Invisible House. It has the most beautiful sunlight coming thru the windows in the mornings and afternoons. The outside shower might be one of my favorite things. The beds are so confortable. If you are one of those who wake up active like me, you can start your morning by stretching and moving your body with a yoga class designed for all levels in the most beautiful space. The class leaves you vitalized for the rest of the day. Then my favorite part of the day while staying at La Finca, the Ayurvedic breakfast. The breakfast not only looks beautiful to the eye but also the flavors are delicious and healthy. Very nourishing. There is tea and cafe available for you all day. After that, you can spend the day at La Finca spa that offers a variety of Ayurvedic treatments, massages, acupuncture and different rituals. Or go the the pool area at the Pavilion where you can relax, read and sunbathe. But if you feel more adventurous you could dedicate the afternoon to exploring the stunningly varied landscapes of Vieques. By renting a golf cart you can go beach hooping around the island. Vieques has some of the most beautiful and crystal clear beaches in the Caribbean. I try to come here once a year so Im always looking forward to coming back.

It was exactly what I was hoping for. An hour of intentionality, breath work practice, body strengthening and much more. The class was $20, and well worth it. After the yoga class, my sister and I decided to have brunch at Finca Victoria. The Ayurvedic brunch was something that I was really intrigued by. This intrigue quickly turned to enamour, because I was really impressed by how delicious the meal was, while eating clean and healing the body.

If you're considering staying here, I think it's important to share an honest experience so you can…read moremake an informed decision.Our issue started when the ferry service was canceled for the day, which was completely out of our control. 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.

During the day, Mike and/or John are available to troubleshoot anything for you and give wonderful advice on local attractions. I tried some that were not on the list and they are as follows: -Tin Box: If you're craving sushi on the island, this is a great place to check out. -Green beach: Rumored to have conch shells but I guess I wasn't that lucky. We had also gone post light rain, so the long road there was covered in puddles of unknown depths. Would highly recommend a generous application of bug repellent if you go. We were swarmed by a little cloud of gnats and I got little non-itchy polka dots on my arms by the time I was through -Seagate Horseback Riding: Only a good idea if you're intermediate to advance in horseback riding. The horses are not lead or strung together. There were also parts of the ride where the horses seemed to be trained to go a a trot. At these speeds, I almost slid off the horse! Definitely not the romantic walk along the beach on horses that I was envisioning. Hope you enjoy your Vieques stay!
