Hi, my family(7yr old and husband) and i are thinking about Bahía Marina vs harbour view villas. Is there really a problem with Bahia Marina? Anyone been to Harbour view, or know of them. Any information or suggestions would be appreciated. We're coming for a week in march

We had dinner at the Bahia Marina when we were there last week, and to me, it was very overpriced. I can imagine how much the rooms are there! Me, I like to go inexpensive so I can do more when I'm in Culebra, so we stayed at Maritza's guest house for the week with no problems! There's a link to her rooms under Shelter here.

Any thoughts on what Bahia Marina is like; ie does it look nice, good views, well maintained and all that. I'd appreciate anything you can offer, since I can't get a good feel for what it's like. It works out well for us in terms of what they offer, with a 7 yr old and it's not that expensive (they're giving a better than advertised rate). Thanks.

My husband and I stayed at Bahia Marina at the end of our trip this August and said if we ever brought our kids (9 & 5) to Culebra, that is where we would stay! The pool is a nice change from the beach and there was never anyone else at it when we were there. A couple things: they didn't provide beach towels (4 bath towels in each room--they said to use those at the pool--NOT allowed to take them off-site) or beach chairs. Keep that in mind if you plan on heading to the beach.

If you have any other specific questions, feel free to email me!

Bahia Marina is for people who like to spend money, there are many good hotels in Culebra, for much less price.

Hi, My husband and I returned last week from the island and we stayed at the Bahia Marina. It was very nice, the view was the best part. Our first night there was no one else staying in the place but on Sat & Sun there were approximate 4-5 units (out of 16, I believe) being used. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful (Found this to be true about eveyone we met). While we were there something was wrong with the Satellite so no TV (with a child may want to double check this :) ). The pool water was cooler than the ocean which we thought was funny. The place was kept clean, we had a very nice kitchen, ac worked great (only used at night rest of the time had the slider open), there were these little catepillars that you would see on the floor dead or dying - but this is an island, they obviously spray to try to keep the bugs down. We asked for 2 extra towels when we got there and kept them in the car. We rented from Jerry's jeep and all the stories about him are true, he picked us up from the ferry area, gave us a tour of the island and the roads and then gave us the famous map. We ate at the bar, lunch, it was very good. We ate at Mamacitas twice - we really like it there (our favorite). We ate at Juanita Bananas which was good, fancier food, unique experience. We also ate at Dinghy Dock - the quesadillas are enough for 2 people, very good. We stopped at the bakery near the airport - very good (Sorry don't remember the name but believe it may have been the spanish word for bakery or bread - note languages unfortunately not my strong suit.). My husband and I went to snorkel and even though waves were high we found a few good spots. Just a note: we had 12 foot seas on the ferry going to Culebra, it was definitely rough (and I do get seasick) but I personally prefer that to the little plane which the same day (because of the winds) had to abort landing several times. Sorry for the lengthy reply but I used this forum for months to help plan my trip and wanted to return the favor. Sharon
