The Insiders' Guide to St. Barths: Re: Vieques

We were in Vieques for New Years this year. Martineau Bay is overpriced for what you get. Nice rooms though. But when we go again, we will stay at the Inn at the Blue Horizon (charming!!) where the food is amazing --- we ate there 2 times for dinner and once at the Blu Bar.
The beaches are so secluded and amazing that you are shocked more people don't know about this place. Every thing is very inexpensive (well especially compared to SBH) including the superb restaurants.
However, the island has a lot of developing to do (the gas stations all ran out of gas, and we could not pick up our rental car because of that for two days --- but is was "high season"). Expect the island to change signifcantly in the next few years as more developers come in. I suspect that the Commonwealth will have to sell of some of the designated wildlife land to raise money, and most of this land sits on some amazing waterfront property (which is hard to reach, except by 4wd vehicle).

All in all a charming little island. Feel free to PM for more information .
