El Blok

We stayed for one night before we checked into our villa for our wedding. It was good for the most part, except the elevator being out of order and them putting us on that floor where it didn’t work. Three nights later we came to visit some friends who were here for our wedding and staying at El Blok. The lady at the hostess stand threatened to kick our friend out of the hotel if we went up to her room and saw it briefly. She was incredibly rude to us and our friend, despite us being the reason 6 people stayed there for almost a week. After that treatment, we won’t be back. I’d recommend checking out any of the dozens of other options that are just as nice and will treat you with kindness and respect. Casa de Amistad is a better option. El Blok is not it.

Easy to find, easy parking across the street- no issues. Safe area. Hotel is fun and clean. Ice cold AC in the room and comfortable bed made for a great night sleep after beach hopping and snorkeling all day. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would stay again 100%

This hotel is very cute and boutique-like experience. It was also very CLEAN! The room was quite large and we had a large balcony with an outdoor shower… essential for a beach trip. The bedding and towels were all very clean. They had great products in the bathroom and a STEAMER! The roof had a jacuzzi which was perfect for watching the sunset and a night cap. There was a bar on the roof but it wasn’t open the nights we were staying. The restaurant downstairs was top tier. We had no trouble walking in even though they recommended a reservation. They offer free towels and chairs for the beach which were both good quality/condition. We felt safe and welcome. Would definitely recommend. It is across the street from a beautiful beach and at the beginning of a street with a few restaurants and bars. Plenty of parking around the property.

The building is unique, the views are unparalleled, the rooftop amenities are fantastic. We struggled with the volume of the music from the cantina on Thursday evening (since the building is concrete the sound travels pretty far, especially the bass) and the restaurant is not open during the week (which makes sense), but other than that our stay was wonderful. Great staff, we were able to check in early. Each room has complimentary beach chairs and you can request beach towels at the front desk. There is a cute little shop in the lobby and the staff was always helpful. This is the closest hotel to Playa La Esperanza and the Parque Nacional Bahia del Sol. Several beaches within walking distance (but beware of glass on Playa La Esperanza and French Toast Beach) but with a golf cart you can get anywhere you want to go. Restaurant options are ok in Esperanza, but if you want real local Puerto Rican food, you'll be better off eating in Isabel. If this is your first visit to Vieques, this is a great place to stay. Highly recommended. Parking is iffy--there are public spots around and we had no trouble, but we were lucky. Lastly, we did not know before making our reservations that Easter weekend is a really big party/holiday in PR, so if you want a quiet stay, don't go in early April/Easter weekend. Our mistake, but take that into consideration.
