After staying overnight when I landed for my trip and being very greatful for the communication and meeting me at 2am on my first Puerto Rico trip I had to call for help later.
My plan of a stay in Vieques Island was disturbingly prevented. First they wouldnt let me take my rental car in the ferry. Next I lost all my i.d., money, and credit cards, not so much stolen as LOST!
That was extremely disturbing!! Can you imagine how stuck you are when you are in another country basically, you know noone there, have no i.d., no money, no credit?? You cannot get a hotel w/out i.d., you cannot receive wired money, you cannot get on an airplane!!!! I was freakin out.
Adolfo who runs The Beatiful Alondra Apartments truly was a lifesaver. He let me come back and stay there trusting i was going to get i.d. fed exd to me. He let me have money wired to him. He even brought me some dinner cause he knew how broken down I was.
I stayed a week. And made the best out of the rest of my trip.
The apartment is a large 2 bedroom. A/c is just in the bedrooms. It's kept very clean. Cabinets are pretty dilapidated but for the price you can over look that, you can tell they take care of it as best they can.
As for the neighborhood, I first got there at nite previously so I was very apprehensive. After staying a week I realized the neighborhood was very decent and quiet. Right off downtown.
God bless them, it's a great deal too.
