A Luxury Vacation In Puerto RicoA Luxury Vacation in Puerto Rico even a Caribbean Honeymoon on the Island of Vieques at the Hix Island House is something you really need to consider. It doesn’t even have to be a honeymoon, just check it out if you are looking for a romantic vacation somewhere in the Caribbean. You probably haven’t even considered Puerto Rico, and you should at least read up about it. Hix Island House is the result of the vision of architect John Hix, who wanted to build a hotel which would blend in with the massive gray boulders on the island, so he built five open air concrete structures which are quite unlike anything you will see anywhere else, with some serious ecological considerations built in. There are three geometrically shaped buildings housing twelve lofts and they are Casa Redonda, Casa Triangular, and Casa Rectangular, and then there is a small house called La Casita, and a grand house called La Casona which can be used for large functions like weddings or conferences. It would be true to say that the concrete buildings with steel doors and wood shutters could give an impression of a military bunker, but one person’s aesthetic vision will differ from anothers, but they are designed to withstand even the wildest hurricanes. Of course it isn’t necessarily what a hotel looks like but what it has to offer that matters, but most guests use words like terrific, amazing when describing the architecture. Hix Island House is designed for tranquillity, peace and quiet, so there are no telephones or televisions. Part of the eco principles involves heating by solar panels, and even the water collected and heated is twice used as it is directed to the fruit trees after humans have had their use from it!! It is true to say that whilst the Hix Island House whilst lacking the creature comforts of a resort, still gives you a luxury vacation experience in Puerto Rico. This Puerto Rico vacation Spot is much more for the traveller with some adventure than the standard holidaymaker. The lofts whilst minimalistic have extremely comfortable beds, and you will like the pillows. . There is also a lovely outdoor shower, and the rooms are like the shower, totally private, and open air, so you will need to use the mosquito nets at night. You will find in the lofts some luxury amenities, such as Frette linens, sea-island cotton shirts, Marimekko fabrics, and comfortable deck chairs and hammocks. You can have massages in your room or in the open air, and there is outdoor yoga classes, and fantastic views of the Caribbean from the pool, and most of the lofts. Each loft has a kitchen which are stocked with everything you need for breakfasts including delicious home made breads and locally grown coffee, plus the fact you will be brought fresh eggs every day for breakfast As Hix Island House is on a hillside means a cooling breeze, and the thirteen acre site means it is nicely secluded, and completely rural. You still aren’t far from town, or the beautiful white sand beaches and bays of the south coast, and some of the best restaurants on Vieques are close by.
