La Esperanza is an interesting mix of restaurant, bar with entertainment, grocery, car rental, boat dock, 4 apartments and 2 rental homes. It was first started as a small bungalow-sized gathering place by four friends back in 1986. It was the only spot for miles around that people could come to, relax in the cool of the evenings, enjoy some 'spirits' and exchange good stories. Surprisingly, 'Brac' was not particularly well connected with the rest of the world - even then. There were few telephones, radios and only a handful of televisions in this isolated place, so La Esperanza also served as the local information exchange, an absolute necessity during the early days. Its popularity grew along with its size, but in typical 'island time' (slowly, Mon, slowly), tempered by the tropical breezes, the hypnotic sounds of the sea and the languid pace of life. And of course, much unlike a larger resort atmosphere, therein lies the basis of its unique charm. It remains a relatively small and casual place, owned by one of the original friends, Bussy Dilbert and his wife Velma. It is known for very friendly personalized service, cleanliness, and the place to mingle with locals. It is unusually quiet and peaceful around here, with the exception of Friday and Saturday nights when Bussy cranks up his grills and 'jerks' chicken Jamaican style.
