My husband and I have been to PR before (did Old san juan and vieques which we loved). we're going back this January with our 2 year old, and I'll also be 6 mo pregnant at the time. Looking for a place with a pool, walking to restaurants, and calm ocean waters. Open to renting a car. But mostly wanting a low key beach trip with maybe a day in el yunque. We'll spend 1-2 nights in OSJ again as well.

Considering returning to Vieques, but I'm a little nervous about that flight again and I’ve heard terrible things about the ferry. I'm wondering if there's a place on the mainland that would be comparable. I'm not sure that the beauty of Vieques can be found on the mainland? Our days consisted of having breakfast at the b&b, driving to a remote beach, and then going out in Esperanza to dinner at night. We're looking to replicate that. I'm worried about booking a place near Condado or Isla Verde, Loiza etc. or other areas outside of SJ and then not liking it as much as Vieques. We've not resort people, but I’m hearing that might be the way to go with a toddler.

Thank you

Both Condado and Isla Verde are very developed tourist areas. If you are looking for something to replicate your stay on Vieques, I think you’re not going to be happy in either condado or Isla verde. Lots of resort hotels and condos. I love both areas but from your post, I’m not sure either would be a good fit. Fwiw- Isla verde had calmer waters than Condado. And a great walking beach.
