Hix House is in a beautiful, quiet, remote location. The architecture was unique, especially for this part of the world, so no room is the same. The pool is beautiful and refreshing. As other reviews have pointed out, you cannot be afraid of nature to stay here. Our room had basically barn doors that stayed open all day, whether we... more

My husband and I stayed for 4 nights, in the beginning of March (a few weeks ago). We had a wonderful time! I'll admit that after reading some reviews, I was really concerned about bugs, lizards, etc, but I was really comfortable there. We saw very few bugs, and only a few very tiny lizards. The lizards stayed over near... more

Most beautiful setting on vieques, super comfortable accommodations, and very efficient little kitchen. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, gave great recommendations for places to shop, eat, and swim, and hosted a weekly cocktail party for guests, which was a great intro. There is a gorgeous outdoor (covered) yoga area, with classes every day, a fab pool, and overall... more

Hix Island House by Frequent Caribbean Travelers We've stayed many times in Vieques at another hotel on the Island, but the Inn had a change in ownership, and we wanted to try something different for our return to Vieques for the February get-away. Hix Island House fit the bill. We stayed for ten days in Tiangular House in the Matisse... more

All I can say is "wow!" My girlfriend and I just returned from a magical four day stay at Hix. We stayed in the Adobe Loft, which was on the ground floor with a very private patio on which we got massages one afternoon. The trip was one of the most relaxing I have ever had and our stay was... more

This is the perfect place for us! With our windows &door always open day and night, the ocean breezes came through our room all the time - the bed was as comfortable as could be - the pillows were good, the linens were wonderful. I absolutely loved my Neeva Gayle shirt - I had to buy one before I went... more

My wife and I just returned from a nearly 3 week visit to Puerto Rico, the USVI, and St. Marteen. We stayed in many wonderful places, but by far the best was the Hix Island House. We stayed in the Casita ... the architecure was terrific, the setting wonderful and the staff/owners friendly and helpful (and the fresh eggs and... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hix Island House. The room was open-air and it was really great to hear all the frogs and birds during the evenings. We had a mosquito net over the bed and only had problems with bugs at dawn and dusk. The kitchen was well-appointed with a blender, coffee grinder and french press and... more

While we had a wonderful time on Vieques, I don't know that I'd stay at Hix again after our experience. Most of the bugs were avoidable by wearing bug spray all the time - it is open air, so this is a necessity - sleeping under the mosquito netting in the room. However, I was eaten alive by bedbugs, which... more

Management response from
dianeymike, Hotel Manager

We take every guest's concerns very seriously here at the Hix House, and responded to this complaint thoroughly and promptly. Despite finding nothing in the bed, we still removed all of the bedding material, sprayed thoroughly, and remade the bed with brand new sheets and egg crate mattress. When she moved to another loft, she had the same complaint. When...
