Location was amazing! We missed check-in because it closed at 3 so thank goodness the hotel next door got us in contact with someone! Loved the little strip it was on.

Bring your own air freshener. Small shower not clean hair on walls. I wish there were more affordable places to stay in vieques. Easy to park. No staff. I did enjoy the French press and fridge in the room. No AC. Sheets seemed clean. The guesthouse is across from the ocean. Seemed safe and secure.

This room is FOR REAL in the restaurant. You walk past the kitchen to get to your room. There is no AC. There are 2 fans. The water pressure in the shower was great! Unfortunately when we woke up in the morning and tried to use the kettle to make a French press, it didn’t work. We didn’t notify anyone because we were on a time crunch. It is very conveniently located to a lot of restaurants and things to do on the island.

Staff we met on the first day were restaurant people and they were great. Room had no windows and we only found out when we were leaving that the back door did open to a porch but there were no instructions that that was possible. Bathroom stank of sewage and bathmat was wet on our arrival. Great location.

TLDR: Modest but solid choice for an overnight stay for biobay. The restaurant has the best food and drinks in Esperanza, hands down (I went to all of the restaurants). Get the burger. The staff was phenomenal.
I learned after I booked my stay here that the biobay tours do not happen during full moons. I reached out to trade winds and they were beyond accommodating. They changed my reservation days, and even offered an upgrade! Check in is contactless. The rooms are modest, but clean and comfortable and have a roomba to get rid of sand (so cute!). Right across from an entrance to the beach. I would stay here again just for the staff and the food. The food here was the highlight of my stay in Vieques, no joke. Thank you!

Apparently “check in time is 3pm” for tradewinds means “UNTIL 3 pm”. We and another family arrived around 5:30 and were shocked to find out that, at this one hotel in all the world, the listed check in time is the last time you can check in. And there is no late check in and nothing to do about it. We lost our money and had to scramble for another place at 5:40 pm in little Esperanza.
Yes, when we made the reservation we signed a thing saying no late check in allowed. But the listing in the app clearly says 3pm check in. Sending a passive message is simply not enough. This policy is so outrageously unique that it needs to be treated as such. This is especially true on Vieques, where travelers very easily might not make it by 3pm due to ferries and taxis.
The real kicker is that this policy is completely unnecessary. The property has keypads on the doors! We didn’t need a physical check in at all! The other property I booked at the last minute simply texted me the code. Would have been simple to do the same.
Overall I expect this happens many times. It happened twice on our day.

A nice place to stay close to everything, balcony rooms are not the ones in the front of the hotel facing the ocean. I assumed that was my view, we did have a small ocean view from a side balcony. My overall experience was good . I would recommend this place, old school oceanfront vibe, bartenders are great!

The location and views are fantastic. However, we experienced issues with the floor needing vacuuming, the sink faucet water pressure being extremely low, and the shower water temperature fluctuating between scalding hot to very cool.

We stayed in Vieques for one night in order to experience the bioluminescent bay, and Trade Winds was the perfect place to stay. We are already thinking of other reasons to come back and bring friends.

The room is in need of a renovation, the ceiling paint was falling off and the room was full of mosquitoes. Also, parking space is fairly limited, no more than six cars can fit in that parking spot.

The ocean was not visible from room. No hot water. Bathroom door has to be fully shut for access to light switch (which was outside the bathroom) No tv. No microwave. No staff around (self check-in). Restaurant food was excellent but only available after 4pm. We got lucky snagging a parking spot. Bed mattress and pillows were very comfortable. Bathroom tile was painted over with many areas peeling off.

Room was clean and ready early for check in with a code provided by email. The room was nothing fancy, but adequate and maintained well. Staff were around even though the restaurant was closed Friday and Saturday. Very convenient location for bio bay.
