Culebra Blog

Buzzing around the net this morning I came across an interesting article about Culebra by Jeremy W. Peters over at the New Times Online, “A Tropical Getaway in Puerto Rico That’s Also a Bargain.”

“As new resorts and high-end developments continue their march across the Caribbean, it is getting ever harder to find a place that hasn’t priced out travelers on a budget. But Culebra, a tiny island halfway between St. Thomas and Puerto Rico, still clings hard to its peaceful origins. It’s the kind of place where Carnival and Royal Caribbean don’t visit, the Four Seasons can’t be found, and you really have to work hard to spend more than $200 a night on a hotel room.”

Today the New York Times published an article in their travel section entitled, “Affordable Caribbean” and it looks as though they somehow overlooked Culebra. Well, I am sure some Culebra residents and visitors will see this as a blessing. Others might feel as though our island home has been slighted. Seriously, I am quite happy they did not include Culebra but the fact that they overlooked us is a bit surprising…? Camping on Flamenco Beach! The Caribbean does not get much more affordable than that and you have one of the best beaches in the world just steps away from your tent. Anyway, as the commentary recommends let the masses go to St. Thomas and Vieques, which are both profiled in the article.

The New York Times’ loss is our gain because we have many GREAT guesthouses, hotels, and rentals here on Culebra.
