Hix Island House

Vieques

We hated this property so much we checked out after one night.  We had bugs everywhere and the room was very hot.  I've stayed in other eco friendly properties before but this one was way too "economy" for the price.  Had to sleep in mosquito nets, they provided only small fans for each side of the bed.  The garage type of door was dangerous to operate and if we closed it entirely to keep bugs away, it was too hot.  Just not the right property.  The area was extremely remote and was difficult to find our actual room.  Do not check in off hours because you will likely get lost.  The two towns on the island were very run down and service at the restaurants was extremely slow.  Will not return.

We love here ever!There are many experiences that can only be had here!

All I can say is this place is AMAZING!! The views! The openness and simplicity of the rooms! The vibe! What a wonderful place to stay and as they say - EXPERIENCE!Note - there are no tvs, and you’ll hear nature doing it’s thing at night, which I loved!

Simply AMAZING!

Hix Island is a magical place! Architecture is very successfully stitched with nature. If you want an off grid experience with convenience, this is the place! Every building is unique and fun to stay but I highly recommend Solaris 2 or Solaris 4. It has an ocean view and the balcony has an open roof so you can lay down and watch the stars at night. The room has two large openings to provide natural cross ventilation, it’s breezy at all times. There’s also a small pool at the property which is a bless, it has a gorgeous view. The hotel provides a full fridge with everything you need to make breakfast such as fresh bread, butter, milk, coffee, fruits, eggs. I highly recommend yoga with Maureen-it’s a life changing experience. She’ll tell you all about yoga and take you to a spiritual journey. This is my second time at Hix Island and I highly recommend staying there!

A great experience to rest, relax and connect with nature. Mesmerizing architecture. Very private. Is in the center of the island, highly recommend to rent a car.

Stayed at Hix last weekend and loved the establishment! Amazing location in the hills so it was very restful - no traffic noise but lovely ambient sounds of nature. We stayed in Redonda 2 and it was stylish, open,  and well-designed. The pool was lovely and the staff was very nice and helpful but FYI the place is meant to be independent stay vs hotel catering. The fruit trees on the property were a nice bonus.

Amazing place to stay in Vieques

The manager Carmen and her sister Chinita went above and beyond to make sure I had a good stay. They were so kind and helpful with everything. I rarely write reviews but I sincerely appreciate their hospitality and it deserves recognition.

Excellent Experience

The Hix House website is right, this place is an experience. We had a wonderful two night stay on the heels of four nights at the Wyndham Rio Grande on the main island. Being a pale Midwesterner,  I came to Vieques with a bit of a burn and 68 mosquito bites on my legs alone despite using repellent and sunscreen in Rio Grande. The open air design of Hix House had me fretful about more bites combined with the 90 degree temperatures. I'm so glad we couldn't cancel our reservation. Hix was amazing. It is a place of peace and respite. It has a calm, peaceful energy that had us talking in whispers. The architecture is thoughtful and accommodates a soft breeze when you open all the doors and clever windows. We were on the bottom  of Triangular  - Loft Adobe - with a constant breeze outside on the patio lounge chairs - the perfect place to read and catch glimpses of Emeralds popping in and out of the tree above us. The island horses visited daily and we had an iguana stop by our first morning after we had a dip in the oh-so-relaxing pool with an amazing view. The mosquito repellant provided was a nice touch. The first night my bite phobia was so bad, we kept all the windows and doors shut. That was a mistake, it is not how the space was designed to function. It gets too hot and made for a rough night sleeping. The second night we left everything open, used a light spritz of repellant and carefully crisscrossed the netting around the bed. With the fans on we slept peacefully and had no issues with mosquitoes. Listening to all of the night sounds of the island was wonderful. So many different birds, fogs and insect calls through the night and early morning made for a restful symphony of sorts. I wish we could have stayed longer. The coffee provided with creamer, butter, eggs, fruit, juice, little delicious muffins and bread for toast was delightful and we enjoyed breakfast each morning with the birds outside. The beach towels provided were wonderful for trips out to the beaches. We rented a car from Vieques car Rental and easily accessed Playa Negra for a walk and Sea Glass Beach on our first evening on the island with a stop at Duffy's for a veggie burger and sweet plantains (with quite yummy sauce). Storms and the start of hurricane season left large deposits of sea grass on Playa Negra, Chiva, Pata Prieta and other beaches which made for bit of a stinky experience, but we found a decent spot at Chiva for a few hours and wish we had tried Caracas earlier as low tide made for a clearer beach and the sand there was lovely. If you like to climb around rocks and explore, check out Punta Conejo to find fossilized coral and a stunning view. Mosquito Pier offered an incredible snorkeling experience. The nature reserve is a beautiful drive with lots of places to explore. Be mindful of the horses on all roads and drive slowly and carefully to protect them. They will lay down right up to and over the roads that, at times, are a very tight squeeze for two cars. Note that Hix does not permit use of hair dryers or styling tools - you won't need them, and you wash your own dishes - as you should. The staff is kind and welcoming, offering starfruit from the trees and suggestions if you ask, and didn't mind that we spoke little Spanish. Hix House complimented our desire to connect with nature and restore ourselves. I hope to return soon.
