Culebra as a Honeymoon Destination
We seem to be getting a lot of people asking lately if Culebra is a good destination for a honeymoon. This is GREAT news because we love questions! However, I typically like to throw back a few queries to the inquiring party…about how they envision their honeymoon.
Culebra is definitely your stereotypical secluded, exotic, and romantic Caribbean location. However, honeymoons are meant to be a once in a lifetime special occasion and you and your new partner really need to think about what it is you are looking for in a destination. Without question, Culebra is a fantastic place for honeymooners to visit and it has an amazing array of beaches and activities to keep everyone satisfied.
Some of the specific questions include: Would you and your new spouse like to sit on the beach and do absolutely nothing? Would you like to go scuba diving or snorkeling? Are you happy making your own entertainment in an ultra laid-back environment? Typically, if couples answer yes to these questions then I would say Culebra is the place for them.
Because we do not want people to be disappointed with their experience, especially not honeymooners, other questions include: Do you require a five star resort setting? Would you like to go out and party until five in the morning? Do you like all you can eat buffets? Do you have an adverse reaction to sand beneath your toes? If you answered yes to a majority of those questions then I would suggest that you might want to consider a different honeymoon destination. Or, better yet, go to Puerto Rico for a portion of your trip and stay at a large resort, party until the wee hours, and shop at the large malls. When you are tired and ready to relax on the beach then travel on over to Culebra.
