"Since 2007, El Quenepo has been Vieques’s premier restaurant. After 15 years as successful restaurateurs, Scott and Kate Cole opened up their second floor as an exquisitely-renovated inn that embraces Caribbean cottage sophistication. Guests open their puertas right to Caribbean Sea views at this intimate new guest house. It’s the perfect destination for those who want to be somewhat removed but not quite cut-off from civilization. Situated right on the promenade along Esperanza beach, the location lends a peek into the rhythm of the village, lively on seasonal weekends, quiet during the week when there’s nothing but the sound of the surf to lull you to sleep. Six rooms are outfitted in four poster beds, antique wood furniture, Spanish-style tiling and local art. All rooms include terraces, rainfall showers, A/C and lazily whirring ceiling fans. Beach chairs and towels come with each. The communal terrace showcases the gripping sea views." - Kathleen Squires
