Review of your experience: Bravo is a fantastic hotel on Vieques. My family has
visited Vieques the past three years. This year my wife and I stayed at Bravo
while the rest of the family stayed down the road in a private villa.
The property is beautiful with its' two pools and ocean views. The service and
help by the staff is extremely friendly, helpful and top notch. The rooms are
beautiful and very relaxing.
Chef Michael's is on the property and offers nice wines, sandwiches, deli snack
foods - all of a very high quality.
We are going to return to Bravo next year!
50 Affordable Beach Resorts
by Travel & Leisure
$160 Opened in January by a pair of ex-Manhattanites, the Bravo brings a welcome small-scale, big-city vibe to Vieques. With a mere nine rooms and a two-bedroom villa, an oceanfront locale (floor-to-ceiling windows open straight onto the Caribbean), and edgy furnishings (egg lamps, Italian linens), the Bravo is the island's first true beachside designer hotel. Pack your laptop: the high-tech hotel has one of Vieques's only Wi-Fi "hot spots," for wireless Internet access. 1 N. SHORE RD.; 787/741-1128;

Bravo
Vieques, Puerto Rico by Fodors
The beachfront Bravo sits on the northern coast of the still-sleepy island of
Vieques, seven miles off Puerto Rico. Formerly a nothing-special motel, it has
reopened as a stylish compound painted in David Hockney pastels; in seven of the
nine rooms and in the adjacent two-bedroom villa, you can look straight out to
sea from floor-to-ceiling windows. Inside, rooms flaunt Frette linens, DVD
players, Nintendo, and wireless Internet access. Bathrooms are tiny (no tubs)
but are stocked with thick towels and Aveda toiletries. Although there is no
proper restaurant, a Dean & Deluca–style grocery called Chef Michael's FoodSpace
sells imported wines, cheeses, and other fancy foodstuffs, and a few nights a
month Chef Michael himself serves dinner by the pool; at other times, guests in
search of good food simply have to walk a few minutes into town.
When to go: December through May.
Which room to book: Nos. 3 through 7, which have
balconies with ocean views (doubles, $160–$215).
