We recently returned from a 5 night stay at the Bahia Marina. We absolutely loved it. You can always tell a great place by the amount of time the owner spends not only at the hotel, but by how much time he spends with his guests. Jose was always gracious and wanted to know how we were enjoying ourselves and our stay at Bahia every day we saw him.
The rest of the staff at Bahia was great too. Friendly and upbeat all the time, they were a joy to be around, but werent at all overbearing. All in all, the most friendly folks you could possibly ask for. I would name some names, but cant remember them! :)
The food at Bahia was special. I think easily the best on the island, especially the spring rolls.....yumm....my hats off to the chef...she puts together some incredible dishes....eating at the restaurant at Bahia is a must for anyone visiting Culebra. Club Seabourne, where we did try one meal, does not measure up and was much more expensive.....too expensive I thought.
Our room was great and the beds comfortable. We will be back next year.
Last , but certainly not least, we took a day sailing trip with Captain Bill in search of tuna, mahi mahi (sp?) and wahoo (sp?). For those who have not taken this trip....just do it. Cap'n Bill took us out around Culebrita and Cayo Norte where we did some snorkeling...saw a great variety of fish and a turtle sitting on the bottom....pretty cool. Bill tried his best to hook something for us, but it was just not to be on this day. Next trip he said...:) But, he did cook up a great fresh tuna (which he had caught a few days earlier) for us on the boat that was almost as good as what you get at the Bahia restaurant...simply great is all you can say.
One more thing....one of our first nights at the Bahia restaurant Jose pointed out that Carlos Delgado, first baseman for the NY Mets, was sitting behind us. He's a native Puerto Rican and a big boy. How cool is that?!!
We hated to leave, but found a great place at the Bahia Marina to stay for all future visits. Thank you Jose and great staff at Bahia for a terrific vacation!
