Hix Island House is the coolest experience ever. We actually ran into the architect while he was swimming laps at Sun Bay. He deliberately sited the hotel on a hill in the woods, far from the mosquitoes of the coastal lagoons. We stayed in Casa Solaris 2, which is completely open to the elements on one side and oriented to... More

I just wrapped up a one week solo stay at Hix. It was my first trip to Vieques and I could not have dreamed up a better place to stay while on the island. I worked with Joanne to select the best loft for me (I ended up in Loft 5 in Rectangular). All the staff were incredibly helpful -... More

Just got back from two relaxing nights with my husband at Hix Island House Hotel. We stayed in Matisse, a gorgeous top floor open-air room with an amazing rooftop deck, views of the hills and the ocean. Loved the secluded, hillside setting. Beautiful, tranquil, private (but with mobile and wifi access). Though the hotel is not on the water, it's... More

As other reviews have noted, this place is not for everyone -- in some ways like high end luxury camping, since no air conditioning (but still cool and pleasant at night) and rooms are open to outside. BUT totally private and surrounded by forest, with great views from our room. Before coming, I was worried about mosquitoes since rooms are... More

We reserved the cassette room which is actually an extra room built as part of the owner's (Neeva and John) home. I believe it is the best room as it is large and has a nice clean small refrigerator and cook top and all kitchen items were clean and nice. You should understand that the concept is minimalist living -... More

We just finished our 4-night (without kids!) stay at Hix Island House and really enjoyed our time there. When we arrived, we were welcomed by the lovely manager and she walked us up to our loft and showed us around. Indeed, as other reviews note, the kitchen refrigerator was stocked with items so that we could make breakfast the next... More

My husband and I stayed at the rectangular house here in Nov 2012 for a couple of days and LOVED it. This is one of those places you can only love or hate - there is no middle ground. The place has soul. The rooms are very well designed, with the most basic shapes (rectangles, circles and triangles!), surfaces are... More

My husband and I fell in love with Hix house as soon as we saw their website. Thoughtful, modern design with an emphasis on functionality and the environment, a lush ground to explore, a swanky pool surrounded by palm trees, complete privacy, fresh bread, fruit, and coffee each morning of your stay? We were already sold before we even made... More

As others have stated, this may not be everyone's cup of tea but if you are looking to connect/reconnect with your family/wife/self I can think of no better place. Stark but at the same time with a weird kind of luxury. We have never stayed anywhere that gave us the serene satisfaction that Hix did. The staff is great, the... More
