Barrio Pueblo Hotels

"My 17-year-old son and I had such an incredible experience during our first visit to Vieques, and I can’t recommend Sea Gate Hotel highly enough! From the start, Kelly was exceptionally helpful and informative—even sending me videos of parking before our arrival, which made everything so much easier. Her attention to detail and willingness to answer all my questions about the island really put my mind at ease. Penny was an absolute delight! Upon checkin, she told us about her parents building the hotel back in the 1940s and how she took over in the 80s, and it was so clear the property is truly loved and cherished. We stayed on the second floor and the balcony overlooked a lively scene filled with horses, iguanas, and plenty of chickens and roosters. The roosters provided quite the comedic soundtrack with their goofy noises! Reading through reviews before our trip made me laugh, especially the ones about the animals and occasional bugs. If someone’s not comfortable with roosters, horses, or the quirks of an island property, then maybe Vieques isn’t for them! The Sea Gate is a well-loved, lived-in property that was extremely clean. For those who appreciate character, warmth, and genuine hospitality, it’s absolutely perfect. The island itself is amazing and full of wonderful sights, but honestly, just relaxing on the property was a treat in itself. I have nothing negative to say—we had an absolutely wonderful time and will definitely be returning to Sea Gate Hotel!"

"Palomino Island is not private. The room descriptions are misleading. "

"it was a great experience"

"Beautiful property, well situated for visiting El Yunque and Fajardo. Beautiful beach."

"The hotel and grounds are as beautiful as any resort I have seen in Puerto Rico. The staff failed to correct, or “make right” several mistakes, including overbooking restaurants, not honoring reservations, making mistakes on excursions, and overcharging for things. They attempted to upsell time shares regularly. This resort felt more like a “money grab” that a luxurious relaxing resort. "

"The rooms are so incredibly small. I was there with my husband and there’s no place for your bags AT ALL. The property is great, but the rooms are so small "

"Very helpful staff ,they help get there with directions and very knowledgeable to help out "

"Overall, it was a good place to stay due to its great location. Our room's wiring was strange, and breakfast was chaotic. Needing a room key to access the outside patio to eat breakfast (not enough tables/room inside) is ridiculous and hard to do."
