Vieques

Isla de Vieques - Voted the Best Island
in the Caribbean, Bermuda & The Bahamas

Travel & Leisure 2008 Awards

I have to say... I was not surprised to read that our beautiful island "Isla de Vieques" was voted the Best Island in the Caribbean, Bermuda & The Bahamas on the Travel & Leisure 2008 World's Best Awards.

“It’s no wonder Travel and Leisure readers voted Vieques their favorite island in the Caribbean. We’ve long been fans of the island, for its untouched (and untamed) landscapes, its white sand beaches, and its cutting-edge architecture. With a new W hotel on its way, we’re thrilled to see that the rest of the world is buzzing about this little gem”, commented Nancy Novogrod, Editor in Chief of Travel and Leisure.

The great thing about this award is that it was not one or a group of travel journalists making this nomination. Real travelers just like you and me voted on the awards.

The Executive Director of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company, Terestella González Denton, said: “This international acknowledgement of the quality tourist destination that Vieques has become is of great benefit to the Isla Nena and all the Puerto Ricans who feel proud of the impressive accomplishments that Vieques has achieved the last few years and of the road we have all been on with her.”

Mayor Dámaso Serrano López expressed great satisfactionat the award. “The people of Vieques feel deeply and emotionallyexcited, enthusiastic and proud about receiving such an outstanding award. We all have a commitment to make each one of our guests feel that they are truly in paradise”.
