Bravo Beach Hotel

Had a quickly planned long Memorial Day trip and stayed here for three nights. We were quite happy here. The rooms are simple but clean and tasefully decorated. The bed was comfortable. Our room (#23) looks out to the east and has a balcony which basically sits right over the pool. The hotel ownership makes available beach chairs and coolers for guests (you have to pay extra for beach umbrellas which I think is unfortunate.) The beach right outside the hotel is not something you are going to use and don't expect to (it's not attractive nor does it look safe to walk on.) But that was OK with us. The pool is quite nice but I have have complaints about the pool side chairs and lounges (they could be more comfortable.) The grounds of the hotel are well kept and our stay was quiet. There's a second pool which we did not use. It's close to the ferry terminal, to Mar Azul (the most popular bar/restaurant in town) each about 5 min tops. A little further to other businesses along the main stretch of town. Free parking on premises if you rent a car or a golf cart.

The location is great, a short walk from the ferry. The views were mostly great, 2 pools one that is open 24 hours and one that is open until 8. They have beach chairs for you to use and coolers however there is no swimming at the beach the hotel is located on

This hotel was such a find. It was tucked in a neighborhood in Isabel II, not very far from the ferry. We stayed in Casa Roja in a one-bedroom suite. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook our meals. The bathroom was very spacious as was the bedroom. There is a table and chairs outside the unit which were perfect for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Our daughter stayed in the main building with an amazing water view. Her balcony provided lots of light and wave sound therapy. This hotel takes pride in their cleanliness and staff is ready to help with any need you might have. The icing on the cake was the beach chairs, coolers and an ice machine. This place is a no brainer for a great beach vacation!

The setting of the hotel is breathtaking with rooms overlooking the ocean. Chris checked us in and was very helpful with restaurant suggestions. The villa is clean and functional with a lovely outdoor covered patio overlooking the water. The pool area was the highlight with the surrounding ocean view. The hotel provided beach chairs, towels and coolers and umbrellas to rent. The landscaping on the property provided more beauty.

Lovely hotel on the coast with spacious rooms, nice pools, and enjoyable porch area to sit outside under a roof or in chairs in the sun. Very quiet during our stay. Pool ocean front. Beach area is rocky so not easy to get in the ocean here (didn't try). Beach in Esperanza is better, and many restaurants there, but noisy and more crowded. Recommend a rental car to get around. Some room features a little worn but fine. Lots of outlets, which I appreciated. Wifi very serviceable. Secure after hours with coded gate entry. No food or drink on site, but good sized room frig and both coolers and beach chairs provided for excursions. Some hills between hotel and ferry/town but fairly short walk.

At first we were excited about staying here, that is until we actually arrived and the owner decided to cancel our reservations because he was offended. Oh and he was offended when we were told we had to wait an hour and 30 minutes past the check-in time that was set at the time the reservation was made and my wife simply said welcome to the islands. Customer service here is very very poor and if you happen to offend the owner or he does not like you, he will simply cancel your reservation. After cancelling our reservation we had to scramble to find a place to stay, but fortunately for us the island was not over booked and we found a place to stay. Bottom line is that you can not trust or depend on a reservation that you made at this location, even after paying a deposit. If you are not willing to go home I highly advise not booking a room here. Customer service is very lacking and they definitely have a "I could care less about you the patron" attitude. It is sad to see that people in the hospitality industry have such a poor attitude. At the end I am thankful that we did not stay because I am sure that level of customer service would have been there for our entire stay. Again, my advice is DO NOT book a room here. There are many other locations that actually want your business, will be professional, and will appreciate you while you are staying with them.

Bravo Beach Hotel was perfect for us for 2 nights. Our room was upper floor waterfront. The beach is not swimmable, but it’s a beautiful view and you can hear the sound of waves all night. Very clean. I love that they have a code for your room door and no key to lose! Grounds were immaculate, groundskeeper was working there all day to tidy things up. 2 beautiful pools which was surprising for a small hotel, we didn’t have time to swim but if we had an extra day we would have! Very friendly. Provided beach towels. Has a serve your self first-come-first-serve supply of beach chairs, coolers, umbrellas, floats, etc. We appreciated the chairs and a cooler for a day at the beach! It’s on a hill and we didn’t mind the 10-15 walk into town in the morning for breakfast and in the evening for a cocktail. We had a jeep to explore the rest of the island. If you’re planning on no vehicle, it would prob be a challenge but if you are renting a vehicle I highly recommend it! Lovely place lovely stay!

Beautiful big beach apartment. We had a lot of space with our three children. A lovely view. The host was very friendly and helpful

I made a reservation at Bravo Beach Hotel for a 2 night stay about a month ago for my stay last week. When I arrived I was checked in and given a tour of the attractive property by the staff member on duty. My room was spacious and comfortable along with the bathroom that had a shower in it. The ac worked well too. The TV was a smaller screen that I think was less than 32" and was mounted high up on the wall so TV watching could be better. The room had a small refrigerator in it. Shortly after checking in I received a series of text messages from the owner regarding information about Isabel II such as restaurants nearby, grocery stores, taxi info, tour companies, etc, which was helpful. Bravo Beach is well maintained with 2 freshwater pools and less than 20 rooms all with outdoor facing entrances. It is located directly on the water with a beach but swimming is not allowed or desired from the shell beach however the beach is available for walking. The hotel does offer the free use of beach supplies like coolers and folding chairs, etc. if you need them. They do have their own small parking lot and more parking next to the hotel but I'm not sure they have enough parking if all of their rooms are full. The hotel is located about a 6-7 minute walk from the ferry terminal. If I returned to Vieques I would be happy to stay at Bravo Beach Hotel again.

A charming hotel on the beach! Very clean with two nice pools. Wonderful view from the top level- I definitely would stay here again!

This is a very beautiful hotel close to the ferry, it's not too expensive about $188/night. The room is spacious and comfy with ac and fans. The only thing I felt that would've made the room perfect is if it had a microwave to at least heat some food. There's a mini fridge which was great. Theres two pool and they're both beautiful. The process to check in and out was very simple and quick just make sure to speak with the owner and let him know you plan on coming to reserve your spot.

A great pick for a hotel if you don't feel like breaking the bank at the W Hotel in Vieques. With it being right by the water and the ferry, it is very convenient to get to either by foot or cab. The service there is top-notch. The people at the front desk/lobby area was super accommodating and eager to help. Anytime we had any questions or had any needs, they tried their best to answer questions and provide any additional information needed. They provided maps for where the popular places were in Vieques. Beach towels were provided and for small fee, you can rent beach umbrellas. The hotel itself is quite nice, with a great beachy vibe to it. We rented a variety of rooms and they were all great, clean with soap/shampoo/conditioner in the showers. More than adequate for a multi-night stay. The hotel also has two pools and offers breakfast in the morning. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I wouldn't mind booking this place again if I ever find myself in Vieques.

Amazing experience! My girlfriend and I fortunately got the honeymoon suite and sweet it was. We had a beautiful view of the ocean and pool right from our room. We also had our own private balcony with a table for a romantic dinner. The location is walkable to the downtown area (15-20 minutes). Only "knock" is that the walkout beach is not swimmable due to the algae but that's certainly not due to the hotel. Carl, the owner was more than accommodating and is a text away if we needed anything. He texted me a few days prior to our check in date and when we arrived he gave us a personal tour of the hotel and texts us with recommendations on what to do while we are on the island. Note: BOOK TRANSPORTATION WAYYYYYYY IN ADVANCED. It's an island living off another island so vehicles (cars and golf carts are extremely limited) but there are taxis and beach tours available. Anyways, back to the hotel - the pools (yes plural) are the best in the island and that's from locals. Can't recommend this place enough. Also, the price is similar to Airbnb's. Price + view + location + pools + customer service!? What more can you ask for. Book with confidence!

I'll preface this by saying that I've traveled a great deal, and stayed in many places across India, South America, Europe, and other destinations. I'm well aware of what to expect; from bucket showers to questionable food. I have to say, I'm very, very surprised by the experience we had at Bravo Beach Hotel. The reviews are (as you can see) good. Nevertheless, our experience differs. Perhaps the facility has taken a turn for the worse. Here's a recap of our experience: First off: The property is charming, a South American style villa property with a couple of cute courtyard areas and two moderate sized pools. The property is well kept, too - pretty clean, and nicely maintained. At first glance we loved it - but after a few days, we were getting pretty eager to leave. First of all, there is no hot water. Or, more precisely, there is no consistent hot water; when taking a shower, we get about 80% very cold water, with occasional shots of scalding hot water. It made showering an invigorating and sometimes painful experience. And our bathroom shower had not been cleaned before we arrived and had some mold. The other disappointment was the breakfast. We had expected a pretty nice layout of local fruit, and likely some breads, eggs, etc. What we actually got every morning was a very tired container of bruised pineapple and kiwi, a selection of bread, hard boiled eggs, and coffee. There were flies everywhere, including in the milk jug (if they would install a powerful fan it would keep most of them away). After a few days of this breakfast, we were sick of it. Time to either make our own, or venture out. Our room is on a beautiful piece of ocean-front property. The only real problem is... while the gate opens out on to the beach, it is a slice of rocky beach only a few feet wide. No room to enjoy it, except for a walk along the hotel wall. Also, just to the "right" of the hotel is an abandoned lot; it has a collection of stagnant water the size of a swimming pool. Every evening there are thousands of mosquitos; I don't know if the pool is contributing to the problem, but it certainly isn't helping. The wifi does not work. There is one spot in the courtyard where you can get a strong wifi signal, but upload and download is useless. (I had taken half a dozen pictures on my phone; over the course of 5 days, I was unable to successfully upload them). So, bottom line - After almost a week, we are eager to leave the property. We won't be back, based on this stay. If the breakfasts had been better, or the price a bit lower, it might be OK. But given the rate (over $400 a night, for a larger suite) we expected much better.

We LOVED this place, and it's a good thing too, because it rained most of the time we were there. We opted for an upper-level, ocean view room, and the view did not disappoint. Major bonus of the second story rooms is that they're private even with the curtains open. The upper balconies aren't covered, so on a particularly wet afternoon, we grabbed an ice bucket, filled it with Medallas and sat by the little covered area next to the pool. This might not sound like everyone's idea of an awesome time, but it was probably the most relaxing part of our vacation and there's nothing like swimming in the pouring rain. As far as I know, the pool is open 24/7 (no one told us otherwise, but there are rooms right next to the pool, so I assume if you're loud, someone might shoo you out of the pool), it's not heated, so on cooler days it was....refreshing, but the view and liberal bring-your-own-drinks policy totally made up for that. It's walking distance from restaurants and bars, but you should definitely rent a car/golf cart to get to the beaches and/or Esperanza.

This Hotel is absolutely the best place to stay while on Vieques. The place is clean, secure, safe and located directly off of the main road. The staff are super willing to help you out and they go out of their way to make you feel at home. The prices are dead on correct for what you want to spend. Not once did the staff make me feel like I was anything other than family. If I needed a place to eat or a beach to go to. They sent me to the places they go to. I had a blast each and every day. Every once and while the WIFI goes done BUT WHO cares. Your on a tropical island in the Caribbean and you shouldn't be worried about Facebook ways.

Bravo Beach Hotel was the perfect spot for a group of 14 chicas to celebrate a bachelorette! We booked the Bravo Villa (for 6), the Jardin Suite (originally for 4), and a few double rooms. The Villa was super spacious and we spent a lot of time there hanging out. It's perfect for a family, with a kitchen and even a private balcony which led straight to the beach. The Jardin Suite was originally for 4 girls but Bravo called me the morning of our check-in and told us we could have an extra double room at no additional cost! That way, 2 girls wouldn't need to sleep on a sofa bed. Win! The pool was gorgeous and we spent a decent amount of time there...taking photos. #doitforthegram The free breakfast was enough to satiate our hunger before a yoga class later that day. Some bananas, hard boiled eggs, cereal, and a ton of fresh fruit was available for the taking! We also utilized their umbrella rentals ($5/day) and free cooler rentals filled with their ice machine for a beach day. Loved our stay and the staff were great! Easy walk from the ferry if you're taking it, or a 10 mins drive from the airport. Highly recommend!

This review is way overdue. We spent 11 days over Christmas at the BBH. It was such a relaxing, comfortable experience that it felt like home by the end of it. We were lucky enough to experience both the casita (large, comfortable, private with a great view of the water) and the upstairs suite (my personal favorite--you feel like you are floating on the water). The owners are lovely. They spend tons of time making sure you are happy and well informed. We explored all their recommendations and found them spot on for every one. Since we were there over Christmas, the hotel and the island were full. You would have never known it. We always had one of the pools to ourselves and Carl and Janna spent so much time making sure we were enjoying ourselves. Vieques is a funky island and it was just what we were looking for and, luckily, we found BBH because it was the perfect place to stay when exploring the island. We will be back soon. Thanks for everything. Tom

Great little boutique hotel! We stayed here for 3 nights - in the upper ocean view room. It was a beautiful room - modern interior, private balcony, and incredible view of the ocean and pool below. Plenty of room with a queen bed, chairs, closet, safe, refrigerator, tv, large bathroom, and balcony. The staff was super friendly upon arrival, giving us a full tour of the grounds and showing us our room. We were a little bummed that there was not much to do around this hotel - for the most part you can walk to the town of Isabel nearby, but if we go back to Vieques we would stay in Esperanza. You cannot swim off the beach in front of the hotel as it is rocky, but they do have two pools. We were happy to find that they had beach chairs, snorkel gear, and coolers available for guests to use. They also had a complimentary breakfast which included coffee, tea, fruit, cereal, and hard boiled eggs. They lost 1 star because the wifi was horrible. The website advertised free wifi, which for us is really important because we work remotely. I confirmed with the staff when we arrived, prior to signing paperwork, and they said we would have access in our room, with the strongest signal being in the plaza outside. There was NO service in our room, and two of the days it rained so getting wifi in the plaza outdoors was impossible unless we wanted to ruin our macbooks. There's also barely any cell phone service on the island, so without wifi we could not communicate with clients or family. Otherwise, it was a great hotel and we would recommend for those who are looking to just disconnect and escape from it all!

This is the greatest little hotel! We stayed here for 2 weeks and loved it! The view of the beach, through the palm trees and over the pool, is breath taking. The pool is about 16 yards long so my wife was able to swim laps. The sound of the surf is calming. The best rooms are the 2nd floor ocean view rooms. The grounds are very nice and comfortable. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. There is a Bar-B-Q next to the 2nd pool, close to the honor bar, which is a very nice perk. There is snorkel gear, ice chests of various sizes, and beach chairs available for borrowing at no charge. The free breakfast is minimal but nice. Fresh tropical fruit, warm hard boiled eggs, cereal, toast and coffee. There are no microwaves in the rooms, but there is one available in the breakfast area. The rooms have a small fridge and a safe. No coffee maker. Although when I asked for one it was immediately provided. They lock up the breakfast area at night, so limited access to the microwave. This hotel is in a neighborhood on the edge of Isabel Segunda, the largest town on the island. It is a 10 minute walk to town. In another 10 minutes you can be at the other end of town, or at Glass Beach, which has limited parking. There are so many great restaurants in Isabel Segunda, all within walking distance of the hotel. If you rent a jeep there is plenty of parking at the hotel. We stayed in a 2nd floor ocean view room with a small balcony. The room was comfortable and the balcony with a table and 2 chairs was nice. This is not the W. This is a small hotel emerged in the local community. If you want a very nice place to stay that feels like you are part of the local culture, then the Bravo Beach Hotel is the best.

This a nice family run hotel. Carl and Jana were helpful regarding things to do on the island. The view from the hotel is mesmerizing. The pool is very inviting--great for watching the waves. Rooms are clean and well maintained. Linens and towels are very nice. Pool towels are provided. Short walk into town. Sorry to leave.

This is such a cool little hotel. Walking distance to bars and restaurants in Isabel II and the ferry. Amazing views, cozy rooms, nice pools. We had a great time and will be back for sure.

Pros: Friendly and accommodating owners; infinity-esque pool with an unobstructed view of the ocean; quaint courtyards; hearty continental breakfast (including 3 different types of cereal, 4 different types of bread, hard boiled eggs, fresh fruit salad, coffee, orange juice, and milk); honor bar stocked with alcohol, juice, soda, and water; Direct TV Cons: Wifi that does not work in your room; minimal hot water pressure (reminiscent of my time in the Peace Corps); lack of chaise lounges; dwindling supply of alcohol at the honor bar Suggestions: Do Not Disturb/Please Refresh signs or magnets; a tasteful bulletin board where guests can post info, particularly a need for a ride (some guests didn't have a car and we would have gladly offered them a ride to Esperanza or the beach) At $225 per night during high season, BBH is a great value. The continental breakfast is a convenient way to start your day the and ocean view is awesome. However, if you can live without these things, I'd also recommend you consider Casa de Amistad. I've stayed there twice before, but my boyfriend wanted to try BBH. It's a stone's throw from Al's Mar Azul and their most expensive rooms...which are only a week old as of 02/25/14...are $140 per night. Regardless of your choice, enjoy Vieques and please consider adopting a cat or dog from the Vieques Humane Society. They make it easy and you WON'T be sorry.

My partner and I booked a night at Bravo Beach on a whim in April 2013. We knew that we wanted to do bioluminescent kayaking, and so we needed to find a place to stay off the main island. As we drove from SJ to Fajardo, Carl was extremely helpful in providing recommendations over the phone for good touring companies. BBH is conveniently located near the ferry. The walk is very easy, and relatively safe at night. The owners were immediately welcoming, and we were surprised by two very cute pups goofing around on the terrace. Carl yet again was very helpful in making sure that we had our taxi set up for our kayak adventure that night (there's no such thing as hailing a taxi on Vieques). The pictures don't lie - it's right on the water. It's very relaxing and quaint. If you're an adult who enjoys adult-only spaces, it's the right fit, unless of course it was just coincidence that weekend was kid-free. Although the room was on the small side, it was much cleaner, cozier, and fresher than our stay at the Caribe Hilton in Condado. Had BBH been in SJ, I would have definitely preferred it over our main hotel stay. The continental breakfast was fresh and well-balanced for different types of diets. Although we didn't partake after our late-night kayaking, there's an honor bar available with a variety of a la carte drinks, which I appreciated the offer. We didn't swim in the pools, but they were well-kept and cleaner than - you guessed it - the pools at the Hilton. I may be biased towards Janna and Carl as a fellow Midwesterner, but I must say that if we ever make it back to PR, we will definitely be staying at BBH!

This place is PHENOMENAL. First of all, terrific staff that is bilingual. The staff gives you an entire tour of the property right after check in (which is really helpful). The hotel has fantastic views and seems very underpriced to me. The hotel is very clean and tidy. I have absolutely no complaints.

Great hotel, really nice room and nice facilities all around. Super great host who gave us all the information we could need about the rest of the island.

I can't say enough nice things about the Bravo Beach Hotel. The owners went out of their way to be accommodating and helpful. The hotel itself is great. Our room (which was actually an apartment with2 bedrooms and kitchen) was VERY comfortable. The staff (Natia, thank you!) came over a couple of times to help us get settled and give us a tour. Love both the pool by the ocean and the more secluded pool inside the facility. Great view. As others have written, BBH is a close walk to downtown, and cabs are easy to catch or call. We'll be back!

Definitely my go to hotel when in Vieques. Have stayed at various rooms including the room next to the pool with ocean view and the apartment type rooms; both very recommended. The hotel has many perks including complimentary breakfast, chairs and coolers for the beach, and no keys needed. The staff is very helpful and always available for what you may need. I will definitely continue to go to this hotel when in Vieques.

While I didn't get the chance to spend the night here I had a truly great experience with the hotel management. I recently found out that I will be "stranded" on Vieques because the return ferry is booked 5 days out for vehicles (which they didn't tell us on our way to the island). Thinking that we were going to leave in the morning we locked ourselves out of our airbnb residence...which turned out to be a bad move. The staff was incredibly helpful at the Bravo Beach Hotel & (God permitting) I ever make it off this island--and for whatever lunatic reason decide to return--I will definitely stay here.

This hotel is in complete shambles. Rusting stairway, tables, chairs, outdoor lighting, etc. Old air conditioners disposed of under the stairs. There is NO staff. Carl the owner can be reached by cellphone. The beach does not exist. Do not believe the pictures. The buildings next door are destroyed and abandoned. One a toxic site. For the same $300 a night we could move to Esperanza in a lovely modern hotel, with informed and helpful staff and a water view. DO NOT waste your money or time. Carl seems to be trying to fix up this mess, but for now it is completely overpriced and depressing.

I stayed there for three days, nice quiet beach, Wifi was down so that was a bummer. Owners are nice and friendly. rooms next to the ocean are enchanting.

Bravo Beach Hotel is amazing! My wife and I hadn't had much luck on our PR trip with hotels. When we arrived the beautiful courtyard set the tone. While I checked in my wife checked out the pool areas and the beach and I waited for her reaction. She walked back to me and said, "This place is awesome!" with a huge grin on her face. The rooms are very clean and have great furniture and nice beds. There is a continental breakfast that gets you everything you need for a start to the day. The owner and his family are extremely helpful and responsive and can give you great tips on where to go on the island. The location is great too, it's less than 5 minutes walk to the ferry and maybe 10 minutes to the restaurants downtown Isabel. The hotel was so awesome we cancelled the rest of our itinerary in PR and stayed at Bravo for the rest of our trip. The hotel is just fantastic!

This was the first time on Vieques and I booked this hotel due to the great price for a suite with 2 beds/2ba. We were not disappointed, the suite was on the water, clean, modern furniture, large outdoor covered deck with a small yard and gate to a small beach, breakfast included which was eggs,fresh fruit, toast, cereal, juice and coffee. The staff was exceptional, helpful for reservations or any other concerns. There were coolers, chairs, umbrellas available for those who needed them for the beach. There were 2 pools, outdoor showers and an honor bar which I found amazing! The location was in the capital of Isabel II in a cute neighborhood, a short walk to the town center and a short drive to the BioBay and southern beaches. An unbelievable find which we will certainly stay again. Also a 5 minute walk from the ferry.

We stayed in the Coral One room in the Casa Roja for two nights during our honeymoon in Puerto Rico. The hotel is on the north shore of Vieques in Isabel Segunda. You can easily reach the south end of the island and Esperanza by car or scooter. We loved our room at the Bravo Beach Hotel. It had excellent amenities that you wouldn't find in a typical hotel, like a stove, coffeemaker, fridge. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel also lets you borrow beach items, like coolers and chairs. There is a nice complimentary breakfast in the mornings. It was such a great value! We will certainly return!

The staff, the views, amenities, and room were all AMAZING! When we arrived we were greeted with the most personal welcome and given a map of the island with every detail added! (Seriously was hand written with hours/days open to the supermarket, restaurants, gas stations, and which roads were ones ways!) The hotel has everything you need for beach adventures including chairs, ice chest, umbrellas($5day), beach towels and a beach toys! We stayed in the Luna de Miel suite for four nights. The bed was extremely comfortable (I'm picky) and the suite was very large! Oh and the view was gorgeous! The continental breakfast was a great start to the day including:fruit, cereal, hard boiled eggs and toast. To top it off we ate on our private terrace watching the waves roll in! Other features worth noting are the honor bar, ice machine to fill ice chests, and pools. The property felt very safe and was extremely quiet besides the sound of the waves ! I'd go back in a heartbeat!

My darling wife and I stayed here recently for a short visit and the accomodations are very nice. The two pools are lovely as are the grounds. I recomment getting a drink and a bite to eat at Al's Mar Azul and watching the sunset. Also, go into Isabelle and get a drink and a bottle of rum at the Viejo Sombrero behind the post office. The Bravo and Al's are walking distance from one another as well as from teh ferry dock which is very conveneint. One note, the very lovely pool that overlooks the ocean is a single depth of about 5 feet so if your short and not a swimmer it might be a little tough to relax in.

My girlfriend and I enjoyed our 4-night stay at Bravo Beach Hotel (BBH). We stayed in a spacious one-bedroom at Casa Roja. Although our room had full kitchen, we mostly used the refrigerator to keep our beers cold. There are a few perks to staying at BBH - first is the availability of free beach equipment (chairs, cooler, etc.), second is an honor bar where you write down the items you consume from a fridge filled with beers and liquors, third is a light continental breakfast with cereal, fresh fruit, and coffee. We had a great time in Vieques and BBH helped make our stay even easier. We will definitely return again!

We stayed at the BBH for four nights in March '10. Vieques is the gem of the Caribbean and the BBH is the gem of Vieques. The hotel is ideally situated far enough from town that it is peaceful and quiet while still being close enough to walk into Isabel Segunda. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk to the edge of town (Al's Mar Azul, Cafe Mamasonga), and the town is safe enough to walk around, even at night. Bruce and his entire staff did an excellent job ensuring that our stay was perfect. We had a room with an absolutely spectacular ocean view. The restaurant at the BBH is one of the best on the island (with a pretty extensive lunch and dinner menu but limited breakfast - cereal, fruit, etc. - go to Roy's in town for a more hearty breakfast) and the honor bar was unique and super convenient. There is now a bartender Friday and Saturday nights, along with live music. If you are looking for a hotel on a sand beach, you should probably stay somewhere in Esperanza. The BBH is on the ocean but the beach is very small and all coral, so you can't lay out. But the views and ambiance at BBH more than make up for the lack of a sand beach. Esperanza and the southern beaches are easily accessible by car. (Esperanza is about a 10 minute cab ride - call Lolo!) And there are two pools at BBH, one of which overlooks the ocean so it has a nice ocean feel. BBH is perfect for couples, but not kids - no children under 18 allowed! Great spot for a romantic getaway.

I had an excellent experience at the Bravo Beach Hotel and I highly recommend it. First of all, the owners are fantastic--generally very generous and helpful. We had booked the honeymoon suite with amazing views of the sea and a large personal terrace. That room is very spacious in itself, but not huge for four adults. They had already accommodated us with an inflatable bed, but when we arrived, they told us we could simply have an extra room that wasn't booked, free of charge, for the 4 nights we were staying there. This made our stay hugely more comfortable and was also very generous of them--that extra room alone is probably at least $200/night... Other examples of their kindness: they lent us a Puerto Rico guidebook, which of course we completely forgot to return. When, upon our return to New York, we offered to mail it back, they told us not to bother. However, we'd forgotten a pair of jeans, which they mailed back to us free of charge! I think this shows a commitment to great service that is beyond the ordinary. The hotel itself is really nice--its breakfast area was under renovation when we were there, but it looks like it was going to be great, with a view on the pool and the water beyond it. There are two nice pools (one has an ocean view, the other is more garden-like and near a honor-system bar), and the hotel is well located in that it's within easy walking distance from the ferry and restaurants/grocery stores. The hotel itself is pretty and simple, very relaxing. The beach right in front of it is rocky and not the sandy beaches on the other side of the island, but it's easy to rent a car and go exploring. Overall, we had a really great stay in this quirky and charming little island, and that was in significant part due to the great accommodations.

We had and amazing three days here. The owners,Janna and Carl, are the nicest people and make you feel at ease and relaxed the second you walk through he gates. The poolside and room ocean views don't hurt either. Friendly atmosphere at the honor bar led to long nights talking with neighbors from all over and recommendations from seasoned guests and staff had us never disappointed on the island. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway from the states.

Clean and modern! Beach is not for swimming, but pools and views make up for that. Continental breakfast hits the spot. Fridge in room.

I cannot recommend this place enough. The staff was very helpful, the accommodations were beautiful, and they had everything we could want or need. If you spend a night in Vieques (which you should), this is the THE place to stay!

Bravo Beach Hotel is amazing, so very relaxing and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I will be going back here for sure, rooms were very nice! The views are amazing as well!

Wow. Great room. Great price. We got a 2nd floor ocean view room, and it was amazing. The room was nice and clean. The grounds were nice and quiet. The honor bar is convenient. Definitely stay here in Vieques.

We spent a very nice week at the Bravo Beach Hotel, and really enjoyed the relaxed, low-key vibe. It's not fancy, but it is friendly and accommodating. The (relatively) new owners have done a great deal to spiff the place up: the rooms are simple but comfortable, the grounds are well cared for and the two pools are nice for laps or for lounging. The owners had good advice about Vieques' many really lovely beaches and better-than-you-might-expect restaurants. An added bonus was their supply of beach umbrellas and chairs, as well as some snorkel gear, which was available to guests on a very informal, casual basis. Good for couples, good for families - really a nice place run by nice people.
