Bravo Beach Hotel

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Wow. Great room. Great price. We got a 2^nd 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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

The owners of BBH are the nicest people in the industry. We stayed here in Apr 2012, after big problems with our planned reservations at another hotel. Carl made us feel very welcome and worked dilligently, to keep us comfortale. The rooms are clean, the ocean front views are amazing, and the pools are beautiful. Plus, the proximity to Isabella is great. You can walk there in 5 minutes, yet still avoid the busy streets of the town.

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, Café 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.
