Culebra – Love Is In the Air (AGAIN!)
During the month of June we had two fantastic couples get engaged while staying with us here at the Palmetto. First, we had Ryan and Najla get engaged at Carlos Rosario beach after a day of snorkeling.
And, this past week Dan and Michelle got engaged at Zoni Beach.
We wish both couples tremendous joy, happiness, and success!
Ironman 70.3 San Juan, Puerto Rico
IronMan 70.3 San Juan, Puerto Rico will be taking place on March 19, 2011. The IronMan San Juan race will consist of a 1.2-mile swim, a 56-mile bike and a 13.1-mile run, which adds up to 70.3 miles of total racing.
According to Steve Meckfessel, WTC’s chief operations officer, “We are thrilled to kick-off next year’s North America racing season with Ironman 70.3 San Juan.”
Additionally, Steve added, “San Juan provides breathtaking, natural and historic beauty, high-profile event venues and race routes, and accessibility from the U.S. and major international markets. The race will complement existing 70.3 events in the region, including Ironman 70.3 St. Croix and Ironman 70.3 Miami.”
What better place to come for a quick training before the race, or to relax after, than Culebra Island. We have many great running locations, swimming areas, and biking routes.

Author Patricia Borns writes:
“For heat on the cheap, we scoured the warm zone for destinations with great packages, or lodging options under $130 a night, and recent round-trip airfares from Boston under $450. Then we applied our rating system: high scores for barefoot simplicity, debits for resort crowds. And the winners are . . .”

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.
We will pick you up and drop you off when you arrive, provide amazing complimentary coffee in the mornings, and include everything you’ll need for the beach (snorkel gear, beach towels & chairs, and even coolers).
Also, we are rated number one by your fellow travelers on – Palmetto Reviews on TripAdvisor.
