  Paradise Found Vieques offers a tranquil beauty unrivaled among the islands of the Caribbean. The pristine beaches, the fruit trees, the flowers, the exploration of the world's best bioluminescent bay - the people-watching from the bars in Esperanza, the kids on horses, the pride in restaurants, the local art - all of this combine to make Vieques unique. There is still no traffic light, no movie theatre, and no bowling alley. People are friendly, without any of the hostility one sees on other islands. It is not only the sunsets that seduce people, nor is it the perfect ocean temperature, or the exquisite light that emerges as night falls. It is all of those things, but none of them individually. The soul of Vieques, the thing that draws people here is that inexplicable sense of being in a place that is exquisite in its simplicity. These are the reasons Vieques was voted Best Island in the Caribbean in Travel and Leisure 2008 World's best Awards. |
