I recently went to Culebra and had an enjoyable stay. I have one recommendation: do not go with Captain Luis Grundler for any of your day trips. He is the one who books day trips at Mamacita's, but I do not think he is an employee of the hotel. I am Puerto Rican, have lived in other countries, and have traveled extensively throughout the world. I have never encountered such rude, mocking, disparaging behavior from someone who is offering a service (and taking your money) in my life. He mocked a woman who was on the tour with us, and would not accommodate a simple request that she had (to be left off at a certain location on Culebrita, which he said was "unsafe for boating", but, when we arrived, found over three boats present). He also had the nerve to laugh at people who were trying to disembark/embark from a slippery boat in the middle of a rainstorm into two feet of water (not on shore). I was planning on paying him with a credit card, but when I saw that he had to write down all the pertinent information and would then "charge it later", I chose to pay cash, as I would not trust someone who just insulted the majority of the people on the trip with his behavior. I recommend looking to many of the other "day trip" operators on Culebra for your day trip needs.
