My boyfriend and I were lucky enough to stumble on this lovely and very reasonable hotel after a lot of indecision on where to stay. Having never been to Vieques previously we weren't sure what to expect. What I can say is this, do not stay on the boardwalk, it's noisy and crowded. Better to stay at the Great Escape,... More

We spent five days at the Great Escape. Management was very accommodating and helpful. The room was immaculate and the grounds are very pretty. The pool is very clean and refreshing. The breakfast was simple: eggs, toast, cereal, fruit, juice and coffee. They rented chairs and snorkeling equipment - nothing fancy, but totally operable and useful and at a great... More

The hotel is pretty clean and the breakfast is not bad. Rooms are clean but the mattress sags. Don't bother paying more for an upgraded room because the owner doesn't respect that, giving you whatever room is available at the time. The owner, Dana is nice but she's always there making a lot of fuss and destroying the peace and... More

Great Escape is a simple guesthouse. It's located on a beautiful property surrounded by well manicured greenery and gardens. The handyman there maintains the wonderful property and he is a very hard worker and very nice. The owner of the property is Dana (pronounced like Donna), she is extremely hands on and is always there if you need her. Very... More

Overall, I LOVE Vieques and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Be sure to set your expectations before arrival, it's nice but not luxury. Other reviews give great descriptions, a few things to add: - You want a car, they usually book up before hotels are full - If you don't have a car, you need ATT cell coverage... More

We didn't love Vieques but we loved Dana and her co-worker Gary and their lovely Bed and Breakfast. They will take care of you and make you feel at home. The room was perfect and the grounds were heavenly. Would highly recommend staying there! My daughter still talks about Dana and Gary (she's 2 and 1/2 years old).

Our stay dates: June 14-16, 2012. This is the second time we book Great Escapes at the beautiful Island of Vieques in Puerto Rico. I took both of my parents to the Great Escapes vacation rental because I needed to have the "best father's weekend celebration". Dana once again, provided the cleanest bedrooms, the most caring attentions to me and... More

Beautifully decorated and clean rooms, nice pool, helpful staff. But most importantly, the owner - Dana - was always available to help us whenever needed. In an island with very little infrastructure, this is not a small thing. We stayed in Vieques during a busy long weekend in February 2012 and couldn't find a rental car in the island, even... More
