Question
Will there be transportation to wedding events?
Answer
Yes! Beach Party: We will not have transportation to the beach party. It is a 2 minute drive from the Malecon in Esperanza, and about a 10 minute walk for anyone feeling active! We will have a meeting point in Esperanza prior to the beach party for anyone that wants to car pool or follow over to the beach! Wedding: We will have transportation to and from the wedding. A taxi will meet to pick up anyone needing transportation on the Malecon in Esperanza and bring you to the Blue Horizon. There will be one van leaving at 11pm, and a second leaving at 1am to drop off in Esperanza or different hotel locations. There is plenty of parking at the Blue Horizon if you want to leave your mode of transportation there for the night and take the taxi home.
Question
What is the island like?
Answer
Good question! Vieques is not your typical Caribbean island. Some would describe the island as rustic, and simple. There are wild horses that may outnumber the people at this point, roaming around the roads and beaches. The roads are a little bumpy so get ready if you are in a golf cart. The island has a casual and easy going vibe. We hope that you love it just as much as we do!
