KKTWW Loves:

• The exclusive W – Airport Lounge, provides a wonderful setting where guests can enjoy complimentary refreshments and snacks before being whisked away to the resort by their private car service.
• The W – Vieques plays music from their personal W playlist throughout the resort day and night. Music will range from calming to upbeat based on the time of day and come from speakers hidden throughout the resort landscaping...and even via underwater speakers in the pools!
• W’s Signature Scent is used in all of the resort rooms and suites – absolutely lovely and refreshing.
• One of the pools at the W – Vieques is hidden and guests have to find it in order to use it. Searching the resort grounds is part of the fun! This pool is ideal for those seeking total isolation.
