We booked a bunk bed room which was compact but clean and quite cozy. Though the bathrooms were outside, access to entire area was secure and showers were clean. Very nice on-site family friendly bar and restaurant facing the bay. Good budget or last minute accommodation for a short stay.

Clean, great location. Beds were lumpy and the courtyard was loud and bright until well after 3am but I appreciated them leaving ear plugs. I wouldn’t stay again. Easy check in and check out.

Great place to stay in probably the best area to be in on the island if you are looking to enjoy good beach and food near by
We only stayed one night to do a biobay tour and this was the perfect location. The bunk beds were fun and although i was hesitant at first about the shared bathrooms, it worked out totally fine. Rooms had a/c and we slept well! Communication with the host was via text and very helpful and convenient. Would definitely stay here again!
Our stay was exactly what we needed for the weekend. Great AC, various dining options, walkable to the beach, wifi, and easy check in and check out. The manager and staff were very kind and helpful over the phone on the days leading up to our stay.

Decent place near the beaches. Do the bio bay tour!
The room was clean and small. However, the rooms were clustered around a common courtyard. You could hear everyone coming and going. You could hear the shower being turned on in the next room. We couldnt sleep. We left after 2 days although we booked a 4 day trip. If you want to sleep- think twice about coming here. We were really unhappy with the set up. For 170 a night, we ecpected to at least be able to sleep through the night. The soap was pretty much water and it was a terrible experience all round. At that price find another place to go. Might be worth it if the prices were more of a hostel. But at 170 a night, we felt super ripped off. Also its a self service place and there was nobody after 5 to talk to about the noise. So youre pretty much stuck
The property was comfortable and everything was so calm and quiet . It was easy to call taxi too when I needed . Walkable to all the restaurants and ways to book bio tour right across from this hotel.
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.

Shared bathroom
The weather was beautiful. Great location. Just be prepared to share bathrooms with no hand soap in any of them. And using the bathroom someone was on the roof with a leaf blower and blow water and leafs all over me when I was using the bathroom.
Clean and quiet rooms. Totally acceptable accommodations for the price and location. Very easy and responsive communication with Char . I highly recommend the Lazy Guesthouse for an easy and relaxing stay on Vieques in Esperanza.
In general it met my expectations, but there were a few aspects that I found disappointing. I booked as reserve now pay at property, to find out later that there is no front desk to check in at, and had to work out payment through an online portal before our stay.
The room itself was cute and laid out well, but it wasn’t as clean as I feel it should’ve been. I found little dead bugs on the pillows, as if the room hadn’t been check on in a while. WiFi wasn’t strong enough to use.
Great location for shopping and nearby activities.
Its very loud at nights so keep that in mind. Otherwise for the price its all what you need for a night. Theres no TV in the rooms. Theres a lot of places to eat walking distance.
