Love the rooms, furniture and space distribution. A/C is great, hot water at any time and cozy bed. It is near to most of the tourist places, but still it is a nice quiet place.

Zedric Puerto Rico

The location near the beautiful beach was the best. The hotel was also very modern and the room was very comfortable and cozy. The rooftop terrace with the jacuzzi and great views was also really amazing, we spent a lot of time relaxing there.

Laura United States of America

great location and rooftop terrace. very cool building. spare ribs and ceviche at la placita were great

Krishna United States of America

I like the water pressure the room was equipped with steamer blower and the best of all beach chairs. The air conditioner you can change the thermostat. The bed was very comfy and the unique style of the room.

Madelyn Puerto Rico

Couldn't have asked for a better location and accommodation. Easy access to sun bay, the malecon, mosquito bay. The rooftop is open 24/7 and I snuck upstairs to watch the sunrise in the jacuzzi. The food and drinks at the restaurant are some of the best I've had and the wait staff was so attentive. My bed was super comfy. They provide you with a Hyrdroflask to refill water at the hotel. So no wasteful bottles.

Angela United States of America

Eco friendly, great location, morning coffee, great view, friendly staff, great attached restaurant, need to book a ferry out to the island (a little difficult and confusing to navigate from San Juan to the Ceiba ferry and a taxi service once on the island-but very worth the hassle!!! Go here!, bioluminescent bay

Mckai United States of America

Location was great, just a few minutes walk from the strip of bars/restaurants in front of the water. The room was big and the balcony space was surprisingly very large. The rooftop was also one of the best things about this place. Great place to watch the sunset or even to use the jacuzzi. Couldn't change the temperature to be warmer but still pretty nice!

Gaku United States of America

My third time in Vieques and my third stay at El Blok, so testament enough to how much I love this place. The aesthetic, vibe and location - all A+

Bharat United States of America

Great location close to the beach and restaurants. Modern and clean facilities.

Jose United States of America

The hotel is beautiful, modern, stylish! The rooftop is great and having the restaurant downstairs was great since lots of places were closed due to low season. The staff was friendly and helpful. Covid measurements were seriously implemented.
