Very low-key. Very small. Grounds are more like a compound. Nothing fancy about this place but it served the exact purpose we wanted. Basically connected to Lazy Jacks Bar that has a decent menu and a solid mixed drink selection. I wouldn’t normally give this type of establishment 4-stars but taking into consideration the location, walkability, accessible parking and quiet grounds it seemed fitting. There wasn’t anything outstanding about this place but there also wasn’t anything wrong with it.

The room is small but sufficient, clean and neat. The shower and bath are outside of the room, but this was not a problem.

Some weird reviews about this place. If you read the description, you won’t be shocked by anything. Exactly as stated. Not a hotel, not a hostel, but a guesthouse behind one of the best bars on the island. Booked a queen room, exactly as pictured with our own toilet and shower. If you’re staying a single night on the island to do a bio bay tour this is a super cheap option. No bugs, no smell, no dirt, clean sheets, queen bed, private room. Exactly what we were looking for. Located walking distance from adventure sports kiosks and 5-6 very good restaurants with English and Spanish speaking workers.

A lot of mosquitoes in the room. AC was cold, which is amazing during the daytime, but freezing at night under 1 thin blanket. The remote to control the AC didn’t work. You can also hear loud music from a bar down the road until 1am and then roosters/pheasants screaming at 4am every 20 seconds. I had to sleep with a sweater and earplugs in. Otherwise the area was good with walking distance to restaurants/bars/tour meeting points. And the bed was comfortable. Water pressure in the shower was good.

I booked for a family room, and I got a room that is big enough for two kids! Days later, my acount was charged without authorization. Lazy Guesthouse is dirty, the bathrooms are outside and filty, there are no televisions, and the area is noisy! Additionally, they promote false advertisement. The rooms are not what they are advertised to be! The room was advertised to accommodate 3 adults and 2 children. The room can ONLY accommodate 1 adult and child. Overall, I had the worst experience ever! Besides, my card was charged without authorization!

Perhaps it's because I booked through Expedia, but I didn't have the door code or room number by arrival, there is no front office, and they don't answer their phone. A woman informed me I should've received an email with the information, which I didn't, and referred me to a bartender at Lazy Jacks for help. They handed me a paper with my details. I just needed a place to shower and sleep and this fit my needs. Room was clean, comfortable bed, plenty of pillows. The AC is programmed to 75F. You need to take your own towels. The only cons were the lamps on the nightstand flickered and the lights around outside prevented the room from being dark for sleep. Quick walk to the Bioluminescent Tour pickups and several restaurants.

Unfortunately check in was not smooth. I never got check in instructions emailed to me, and I had to ask the workers at the restaurant to help me which I know they don’t like to be bothered with that. The lights were flickering, there were mosquitoes in the room, and worst of all the battery was missing in the smoke alarm so it was beeping nonstop. Luckily I got someone to take it out but it was late and the last thing I wanted to deal with.

A super helpful staff that picks up the phone and helps out for a self check in hotel. Booked day of, had to change reservation like 3 times, and they helped me through it all. Room was super easy to get into, directions were smooth and simple, and the area was perfect. Right next to one of the most active parts of town, and a 8 minute walk from the Bio Bay tours. Be aware, there's no microwave in the room. AC worked amazing. Showers hot water lasted well, just don't blast it.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make it to the hotel for my reservation and let the staff know in advance. I fully understand the cancellation policy, but I was hoping for at least a partial refund since I wouldn’t be using any of the three nights. I wasn’t offered anything—not even a small credit or gesture of goodwill. While I respect policies, a little flexibility or understanding in situations like this would’ve gone a long way and shown better customer care. But I do understand business is business. Otherwise the staff seemed friendly and very excited about Vieques.

Nice stay

This is a no frills, self check-in property. Communications through text messages were prompt and helpful. Should have a coffee brewer in the room or the premises since there is only one place for breakfast in the area which opens at 7am. A beverage and snacks vending machine would also be welcome, as well as an ice machine.
