Enjoyed everything about Malecon House. The room was charming and simple and the grounds were beautiful. Fresh, clean beach towels replaced everyday. Loved having a fridge in the room for cold drinks to enjoy on the patio in the evenings. Small pool was just right for taking a dip in the afternoons after spending a day at the beaches. A... More

This was our "downtown" during our visit. Lots more activity, people watching, bars and restaurants. Very safe. Very different feel than Isabel Segundo. We would definitely stay in this area/neighborhood again.

Many places to sit outside and eat or just have a drink and watch the passer-byes. Walk-able to Esperanza beach and pier and Sun Bay if staying in Esperanza.

Colorful, pretty walkway along the ocean allows nice views for those strolling along as well as the customers sitting back across the street at the bars and restaurants of Esperanza. Boats and smaller islands moor just offshore.

Wonderful place to hang out & watch the boats! The place was quiet on a Saturday afternoon and there were lots of restaurants nearby to eat at! Great place to take a walk...

The Malecon is a seaside walkway in the town of Esperanza on Vieques. It is a delightful walk in the evening after dinner. There are many bars, restaurants, and guesthouses located across the street, so views from these places is not obstructed by buildings.

We stayed at the Esperanza Inn and were just steps away from the malecon. It was incredibly clean and the views were amazing every single day.
