We have been going to the Island of Vieques for over 12 years and I highly reccomend Tradewinds. It is a small guesthouse with the best restaurant/bar on the Esperanza tourist strip. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The rooms are nicely decorated but are not luxury type rooms. They are classic guesthouse type rooms on the tourist strip... More

If you want granite and glitz, this isn't your place. If you are all about location, are onk with a basic place spruced up with art drawn on the walls, and being on the quiet side of Esperanza, across from the ocean and beach (albeit not the beach you would spend hours in) this is the place for you. Great... More

I first stayed at TradeWinds MANY years ago after spending a horrendous night elsewhere on the island. Got up in the morning and looked elsewhere, ending up at TradeWinds, where the lackadaisical summer staff put us up. If you're expecting pampered luxury, this is not the place for you. If you enjoy camping out, as I do, TradeWinds may seem... More

This is a very, very basic room. We had 2 rooms. One room didn't have an outlet. Both rooms didn't have a tv, no phone, no hairdryer. The closet is open to the bed area. The air conditioning did work. We slept on the ground level and for me seeing the geiko crawling up the outside wall was scary. It... More

This is a very simple, basic place. Our room was clean; the beds were semi-comfortable (until my foam mattress slipped off the platform in the middle of the night). It was, essentially, a place to sleep. That is, except for the extraordinarily loud street noise the first night we were there; it was a holiday, and there was very loud... More

We stayed at Tradewinds a few years ago, and we liked it enough to re-book there upon a return trip to Vieques. Unfortunately, Tradewinds is not as pleasant today as I remember a few years back, and the management doesn't appear to be putting much effort into the place. It wasn't horrible, but I believe you can find better accommodations... More

This is an island / family run place from way back. And you feel 'way back' when you sit at bar waiting for someone in a Panama Hat to come in and ask about tea time. You feel like you are in a movie. The food is good, the people real (which means if they have been hassled that night... More

YES, I would stay here again. This is the deal. The island of Vieques is paradise without much infrastructure. There is no reason to stay in your room but to sleep. If you usually spend a lot of time in your room, don't stay here. (Oh, and you totally need a car, preferably an SUV, to get to the most... More

My husband and I love Trade Winds! We have stayed there twice and this place is as good as it gets for a very reasonable price. Our first stay, we had 7 kids & 7 adults in our group. Our second stay was just my husband and I. Trade Winds is accommodating for all types of trips. The location is... More

The hotel is not too bad comparing to other vieques guest houses. But the taxi driver recommended by the guesthouse was terrible. His name is Henry and he's around that area a lot. he's constantly trying to rip ppl off. One piece of advice would be oask to confirm the driver is the one that u called(and of course avoid... More
