Hix Island House

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 loved Hix House! There is nothing like it. The beauty of the architecture, the gardens and the landscape is incredible. All the bad reviews are correct: it is not a luxury hotel. There is no ice machine. There are huge spiders. There is no AC, WiFi in the rooms is iffy, and there are no screens, so bugs (and birds ) get in the room. But that is all part of the charm. If stuff like that bothers you, maybe Vieques isn’t your thing. We looked into other places to stay and nothing compares to Hix House. We stayed in Redonda 4 which was great. Lovely view over the pool of the island and the sea beyond as well as spectacular moon rises. So quiet and peaceful. The kitchen was stocked with milk, juice, coffee, butter, jam, bread, eggs, oil, salt, pepper, and sugar. There is a four-burner gas cooktop, French press, kettle, pots and pans. We cooked our own breakfasts and most dinners as a result. Tips if you go: check that the ice cube tray was filled, Family Market has a much bigger selection than The Green Store, and definitely rent a Jeep.

Great-looking buildings.

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!

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!

This place is truly magical! I was there for a yoga retreat for 6 days and I was really able to fully recharge. Beds were comfortable, outdoor showers were incredible! Only things that could be improved were small; they are pretty cheap on the towels. They are good quality, but they are small, including their "beach towels" which were as thin as looseleaf paper. Also, they do supply you with coffee you can make yourself but it is the wrong grind for a French press, so you wind up getting a ton of sediment in the bottom of your cup. Also, it would be great if they had enough yoga props on premises, given they have a lovely yoga pavilion. But overall, Hix is outstanding!

Beautifull staff very friendly and helpful, the place amazing, beautiful This a place that I will visit again with friends or family. The horses running in the wild spectacular. Staff goes out of their way.
