CIMA DEL MUNDO. NEW, CLEAN, 2 PRIVATE APARTMENTS, FABULOUS VIEWS

Earlier this month my wife and I enjoyed a 5 night stay at Cima Del Mundo, and couldn't have been happier with our choice of lodgings. The owners, Deborah and Dennis, have put a lot of though and care into the experience they are providing for their guests. After picking us up at the airport and driving us to our rental car, they took us on an insider's tour of Isabel Segunda, pointing out a number of good restaurants, bakeries, and stores along the way. The property is 5-10 minute drive from town, on a hill bordering the northern section of the Vieques National Wildlife Refuge. The suites are below the main apartment where the owners live, but as the house is built on a hill both levels have balconies with stunning views (the pictures really can't do it justice). The balcony was the perfect place to begin day sipping on coffee and watch the sunset at night, listening to roosters, Coqui frogs, and neighing of the many horses that wander around the island. Among the many conveniences provided by Deborah and Dennis, we found everything we needed for the beach, including comfortable chairs, an umbrella, an umbrella anchor, coolers of various sizes, a really nice beach tote, noodles, beach towels and baggies/utensils for picnics. The amenities in the apartment include luxurious linens (sheets, beddings, bath towels were all very nice), a satellite tv/stereo (we never used it), and interesting reading material on history and character of the island. Though we didn't cook, the kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, pots, pans, a blender, a toaster, and there was a brand new gas grill on the patio. We explored several gorgeous beaches during our visit and loved staying at Cima del Mundo!

We had been to Vieques before, and when we decided to return saw Cima Del Mundo advertised and thought that it looked liked a good value. This was a great decision. Deborah and Dennis picked us up at the airport, took us to get our rental car and proceeded to their home. Our apartment (downstairs from their home) was tastefully decorated and immaculate. The view was incredible. The kitchen was equipped with anything you would need for cooking (unlike some rentals that come with odds and ends that are barely usable). The area is very quiet; you can hear the roosters crowing in the morning, but they are not right next door!
You will need a car to find the best beaches, but that is almost essential on Vieques.
Deborah and Dennis are excellent hosts. They are available if you need them, but invisible if you don't!
We already have plans to return next year!

Our stay at Cima Del Mundo was one of relaxation and blissful quiet. But, if you want to go and have cocktails and dinner in town, it is less than a 10 minute drive away. Waking up to the incredible views from our apt. everyday, did feel as if we were on top of the world. So peaceful. We especially loved having beach chairs and "toys" provided for us as we didn't have to worry about renting these items. The rooms were sunny and cheerful and extremely clean....spotless actually. The beds were sooo cozy and inviting and the sheets were high quality cotton, which are so comfortable in a tropical climate. Deborah and Dennis were warm and welcoming and able to answer all of our questions about the island. I would highly recommend Cima Del Mundo to anyone thinking of vacationing in Vieques.
