Culebra Hotels

Our little island has always been a low-key paradise and hotels on Culebra are not much different.

Most people come to Culebra for the beach, nature, and to escape the hustle and stress of their everyday lives.

Culebra hotel accommodations tend to be located in neighborhoods (where you will most certainly hear dogs barking, roosters crowing, and children playing)  and are of the guesthouse, INN, and B&B variety.

If you are ready for a well deserved (and affordable) break, give us a call at the Palmetto Guesthouse.

Flamenco Beach Culebra, Puerto Rico Video

Went down to Flamenco Beach the other morning and grabbed a quick video! Can you believe Playa Flamenco is ranked in the top five beaches in the world and in the video there is not a sole anywhere to be seen…

Also, if you would like to experience any one of Culebra’s amazing beaches, the Palmetto Guesthouse is currently offering 10% off on stays of three nights or longer.

Rum and Reggae Puerto Rico Guide

According to Gadling, the second addition of Rum and Reggae Puerto Rico is now available. According to the official Rum and Reggae website, “Rum & Reggae’s Puerto Rico, Including Culebra & Vieques will help you find and experience all the best of “La Isla del Encanto.” From the pulsating nightlife of San Juan (both gay and straight) and the architectural wonders of Old San Juan to the rain forests of El Yunque, the surf breaks of Rincón and the serenity of Culebra & Vieques, we are there, giving our own brand of critique for the savvy and in-the-know traveler.”

The writer’s description of Culebra Island (taken from the online highlight section) is very interesting and he states, “Culebra is a small and simple island. Politically part of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, it is light years away from the fast pace of San Juan. Although Spanish is the primary language here, English is spoken everywhere. The main village on the island is Dewey, named for Admiral George Dewey, an American hero of the Spanish-American War. This is where the ferry docks and where the post office and most of the commerce are located. There are only a few hundred guest/hotel rooms on the island, a few good restaurants, and no nightclubs, discos, or casinos. The pace is slow, slow, slow! Overall, one gets the impression that this is what the Caribbean used to be like. Indeed, Culebrenses – as residents are called – are very covetous of their way of life and are very suspect of any change.” I strongly agree with the last sentence of the highlight section where he says, “Culebra is one of the Caribbean’s best kept secrets.”
