And, this past week Dan and Michelle got engaged at Zoni Beach.

We wish both couples tremendous joy, happiness, and success!

Shortly after checking in, Vince asked about special places for a memorable proposal. He found the right spot the next morning on Flamenco beach when he proposed & Melissa accepted!

Although they’d talked over the subject of marriage, Melissa had “no idea” that Vince planned to ask her to be his wife during their Puerto Rican holiday. He did, however, do a great job of picking out just the right ring to fit Melissa’s taste and they two now look forward to a happy life together.

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.
