In quality accomodation starved Vieques, this is one of the better places to stay. Located on top of a hll with almost constant trade winds, this B&B is 15 minutes (and $5 per person via publicos) away from the ferry terminal. Terrific fixtures, modern decor, a pool with views of the island and the ocean in the distance make this... more

We stayed at the Great Escape for 4 nights and LOVED it. We were enchanted with the place from the moment we got there. We arrived at 10PM and Dana - the owner, was waiting for us. We were offered cold drinks and were introduced to the other guests that were on the terrace . The room was amazing for... more

Certainly every experience at a B&B or hotel is going to be personal, and our time at Great Escape was not awful. However there were some things we wish we would have known prior to our stay: --There is a 10% "service charge" that is added at the end of your stay, in addition to the standard 9% lodging tax;... more

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend in the Spring. We were the only ones at the inn, and it felt like we had this great beautiful house to ourselves! Dana was always very helpful with tips on where to go and what to do. Good breakfast daily by the pool. It felt very secluded, on top... more

After flying in from San Juan, and taking a publico to the Great Escape, I was a little uneasy. I wondered if this was too rugged or too secluded of a place to vacation. There were wild horses by the side of the road and a dog lying in the street, just taking a rest. It didn't annoy me, I... more

I traveled to Vieques from March 21-23rd. It was absolutely great! Dana is a great hostess, the rooms are well maintained and the whole feeling is just relaxing. The location was very nice and close to the main towns. Vieques is tiny to begin with so it's not easy to be 'far' from much. Breakfast was awesome, pool was very... more

Me My wife and I were at the great escape for 3 nights (end of February 2007). We really weren't sure what to expect from Vieques or the Great Escape... We had a great time!! We were thrown off a little when we first arrived and there was no one around except for another couple chilling by the pool. We... more

Though I hate to parrot the reviews of the Great Escape by others, it is impossible. We spent a week there in March, and it and Vieques were everything we wanted and more. It is named quite appropriately, as it is a true respite in a quiet spot (OK, except for the morning announcements by local roosters) on a quiet... more

We went down for 6 nights in March 2007 and had the best time imaginable. As soon as you drive up the driveway to Great Escape, you know that every single review you've read is right on! We were incredibly impressed with the simplistic beauty of Great Escape, the beautiful plantings around it, and the great vista to the ocean... more

The place was very clean and kept up very well. The garden and grounds are kept beautiful. Visit soon! Before Vieques becomes overrun with tourist and the prices go way up. more
