Located in a fantastic area with a gorgeous beach and great food right next door. The room was clean when we arrived, and the hosts were very responsive to all our questions. There is even luggage storage on site for after your check out.
It was as expected, cheap but clean.
Communication with the property manager was good (via texts).
The main drawback is a shared bathroom and shower that is outside the hotel rooms.
Walls are thin and noise from the streets and other rooms comes right in.
But it was sufficient for our needs.
We booked a bunk bed room which was compact but clean and quite cozy. Though the bathrooms were outside, access to entire area was secure and showers were clean. Very nice on-site family friendly bar and restaurant facing the bay. Good budget or last minute accommodation for a short stay.

Clean, great location. Beds were lumpy and the courtyard was loud and bright until well after 3am but I appreciated them leaving ear plugs. I wouldn’t stay again. Easy check in and check out.

Great place to stay in probably the best area to be in on the island if you are looking to enjoy good beach and food near by
Great little location for one or two nights. Very convenient to the Bio Bay tours and food.

The location is great. A few things to recognize: it is adjacent to Lazy Jack’s bar. A great place to hangout later into the night. Most places around close around 8 ro 9 pm. So there is late night bar noise. The second item is that there are communal showers and toilets. No private bathrooms This is not clear in the listing and why the rating is “medium”. The room was also small. It is clean, convenient, and the communal areas were kept very clean.
Our stay was exactly what we needed for the weekend. Great AC, various dining options, walkable to the beach, wifi, and easy check in and check out. The manager and staff were very kind and helpful over the phone on the days leading up to our stay.
We only stayed one night to do a biobay tour and this was the perfect location. The bunk beds were fun and although i was hesitant at first about the shared bathrooms, it worked out totally fine. Rooms had a/c and we slept well! Communication with the host was via text and very helpful and convenient. Would definitely stay here again!

Decent place near the beaches. Do the bio bay tour!
The property was comfortable and everything was so calm and quiet . It was easy to call taxi too when I needed . Walkable to all the restaurants and ways to book bio tour right across from this hotel.
Checkin process is all automated, with a lockbox for the room key. They DO have facilities to store your luggage if you arrive before checkin. It was very small but clean and for our short stay it was more than enough. If we had to stay longer I would probably choose elsewhere though
A super helpful staff that picks up the phone and helps out for a self check in hotel. Booked day of, had to change reservation like 3 times, and they helped me through it all. Room was super easy to get into, directions were smooth and simple, and the area was perfect. Right next to one of the most active parts of town, and a 8 minute walk from the Bio Bay tours. Be aware, there's no microwave in the room. AC worked amazing. Showers hot water lasted well, just don't blast it.
Clean and quiet rooms. Totally acceptable accommodations for the price and location. Very easy and responsive communication with Char . I highly recommend the Lazy Guesthouse for an easy and relaxing stay on Vieques in Esperanza.
Hotel was very small but cute. The main thing was it was very clean. Adam, who we dealt with most, was always very friendly and extremely helpful.

Shared bathroom
The weather was beautiful. Great location. Just be prepared to share bathrooms with no hand soap in any of them. And using the bathroom someone was on the roof with a leaf blower and blow water and leafs all over me when I was using the bathroom.
