Esperanza Inn Guesthouse

Tyler and Suzanne were great hosts! Communication before and during our stay was excellent. They shared insider tips for the island so we got the most out of our stay. We will be back to Vieques in the future and plan to stay here again. Thank you for the great stay.

Esperanza inn is one of the best places we’ve ever stayed at. Tyler is an amazing host and was so kind and generous. He recommended us to the best restaurants and beaches. It is close to plenty of good beaches and restaurants. The room is spacious and has everything one can need. We will definitely come back here and also recommend Esperanza inn to family and friends.

The best!! Our one bedroom with kitchen had plenty of space and was a great place for us to stay in Esperanza. But what really makes the place special is all the little touches that Suzann and Tyler do to make the place feel like home away from home - beach towels, a cooler bag, communal coffee in the morning, great advice on where to go and what to do on the island, and more. Rooms are simple (not fancy) but absolutely comfortable. This was a perfect 5 star plus for us!!

If there were a 5+ star rating on Trip Advisor, the Esperanza Inn would be my first choice for that honor. Suzanne & Ty have created a comfortable refuge that perfectly fits the Veiques vibe. They took over this little inn a couple of years ago and have added touches that make it welcoming, comforytable and fun (in a low-key kind of way). Our room was comfortable, clean and well appointed -- not fancy but it had everything we needed with a few thoughtful touches added (eg a soft cooler & very nice beach towels). But the entire place and the atmosphere are what really stand out. A cozy little tropical backyard with a "dipping pool"; a full kitchen (w good coffee) and comfortable indoor public area; and most of all: Ty, Suzanne and Pebble the friendly Yorkie. They were soooo generous with advice and information (but not pushy at all). The location may be the best on the island, on a quiet street right around the corner from the tiny Ezperanza strip (half a dozen restaurants, a couple of stores, a couple of bars, all the kayak/snorkel rental/tour kiosks, and a promenade overlooking the idyllic bay). Plus the room fee was extremely reasonable. This is a REALLY special place. Come to think of it: I give 'em 5 stars plus PLUS!

Our family of five spent the week between Christmas and New Years at the Esperanza Inn and had a wonderful time. The location is great, close to the restaurants and shops but back enough to be quiet. Tyler and Suzanne are wonderful hosts. The place is beautiful and all of the little extras are thought of. We highly recommend the Esperanza Inn.

I had no idea what to expect, but my expectations were -WAY- more than exceeded! We were making plans to return to Vieques, to Esperanza Inn while we were still sitting on the beach on our last day. For a random internet pick, this spot was the perfect blend of just enough modern amenities to feel comfy, without sterilizing that tiny island feel. Casual, relaxed, comfortable Each of the three days before check-in, the owners were personally emailing/texting with me about our travel arrangements, making sure all our plans were going to work out. I was fairly confident all was in order, but all the extra care & concern was a very nice touch. Suzann & Tyler have SO many good suggestions and tips! Speaking of Tyler... get that man a microphone. At check-in, we not only got the usual topics covered in depth, but also: a history/cultural lesson about Vieques and Esperanza, an in-depth cartographical survey of the island (he let us keep the map of Vieques after he marked all the best beaches and points of interest), a weather report and suggestions about what we might want to do if it's rainy, several restaurant and tour-guide recommendations (go to Choli's!), a brief tour of the grounds including biology/botany trivia (what's a ylang-ylang tree??), an introduction to the local feline crew (with a not so sublte invitation to adopt a kitten or three), a bit of background on how they came to be owners/hosts in Puerto Rico (#goals), a lot of humor (on his part), and some pretty solid relationship advice. Check-in might have been our favorite part of Esperanza Inn. It was very easy to find, just a short (and fun) drive from the ferry terminal. Esperanza is the cutest and quietest little sea-side town, frozen in another time and place. We felt very safe the entire time. Tyler made sure to mention where all the gates were, who had keys to what, and when him and his staff would be available/on-premise. We had a super spacious apartment (especially considering the rate) with an enormous deck/balcony that was a great hang spot with the other two (very-fun) couples also staying that week. Cool AC in the rooms. Hot coffee and cute cats to cuddle with downstairs every morning. A one-minute walk around the corner to the (confusingly well-stocked) convenience mart. A two-minute walk to "La Playa Secreta" which Tyler expertly advised us to check out quickly after we set our stuff down in the room (BIG thanks Tyler - those sunset beach pics are *everything*). A two-minute walk to any Esperanza night life. We had a blast and will absolutely be returning. The only hesitation I have writing this review is my fear this place will get too popular. We did not want a resort or packed hotel (El Bloc), nor did we want to be sweating at night on an uncomfortable mattress, in what would be referred to in any other country as a hostel. The Esperanza Inn, Suzann & Tyler have neatly side-stepped that trade-off and nailed the perfect balance of modern comforts, easy island
