Isla ViequesVieques Island travel guide

Chez Shack

Kitschy and fun best describes Chez Shack: good, all-you-can-eat BBQ served buffet style, with a steel band playing in the background. It’s what the Caribbean is all about.

This is the place to be on Steel Band Night, Monday: a great party. Locals and tourists alike flock to the dance floor for classic island music, played very well by a steel band brought in from the main island. Great fun!

Chez Shack aspires to hole-in-the-wall status in a very happy way. Nothing fancy here (they are not even taking fancy into consideration), just a wonderful time with nice people.

There is no view, but who cares? It’s as out of the way as you can get on the tiny island of Vieques, yet it is easy to find, and nothing in Vieques is ever more than a few minutes away.
