I never heard of Culebra until about a month before we went. The island is wonderful and the Bahia Marina resort a great base from which to experience it. The town on Culebra is just big enough to supply every need like groceries and restaurants, leaving all the rest to nature. We were there near the peak of tourist season and never felt crowded. We like to fish and snorkel and found endless places to do that. Soldato Beach is a beautiful beach with good fishing and the snorkeling there is fantastic - just a short walk from Bahia Marina. The staff at Bahia Marina clearly love Culebra and were very friendly and helpful in pointing us where to go and how to get there. Our rooms were spotless, we never saw a bug and the Marina restaurant served wonderful island-flavored entrees. Then nothing like sitting back in the evening and peacefully soaking up the amazing view from up there. My teenage boys, one of whom didn't even want to make the trip, loved it. We're back in Florida now but Culebra is still with us.

First of all the best experience was the Dakity Restaurant. Great food, good prices, excellent service, best food we had in Culebra. Hotel has very relaxing environment, and the pool has a nice view. The housekeeping could be a little better, but it's generally not bad. Front desk was very helpful. I would go back with my family.

We stayed at the Bahia Marina July 2008 and loved it! From the minute we checked in the front desk took care of us. We arrived earlier than expected and sat at the breezy bar for a few Medallas (the local beer) and after about 30 minutes we were able to check in early. We were given what I felt was the best room in the resort, because the view and the top porch. The room itself was clean and large (my husband and I were traveling with another couple and could have easily had another couple stay, because it was that big). The two bathroom unit was very convienent and private for us.

As for the island of Culebra itself, it is beautiful, but beware unfortunately, the Culebrans were not as friendly as other Puerto Ricans that I've met before. Outside of the resort we didn't feel much love. Watch out for parking signs! My husband received a $75 parking ticket for parking in a tour van only load zone by the ferry. The sign was not noticable and we were only parked for 2 minutes when the cop came over and started writing us a ticket. My husband went over and asked what was going on, and when he saw the sign asked if he could move the jeep. The cop replied "after I finish writing you a ticket." We also noticed that he did not write tickets for the car parked in front and behind us - turns out they target tourists, because they know they will pay the ticket.

We celebrated our wedding in Culebra in June 2008. The Bahia Marina Resort staff organized it all, from flowers, to the cake, to beach ceremony transportation and set up, to a lovely reception with a great bar and excellent food...many guests said it was the best reception they had ever attended! The prices were quiet reasonable...I came out below budget! And most importantly, the staff was patient, attentive, and put their hearts into giving us a day we will never forget. Thank you Bahia Marina!
