my 16-yr old son and i will be staying in culebra dec 30-jan 1. i couldn't find any place to stay that was big enough for us. i found several apartments and villas for rent by their owners but they were all either very tiny (we definately need two beds!) or too large (for a family or two). everything in my PR travel guides was either booked up or they required a minimum of 3 or more nights stay due to the holiday season.
out of desperation i finally booked the downstairs apartment at casa espada. i say "desperation" because this particular villa isn't mentioned in any of the travel guides i have and no one has posted a candid traveler's review on TripAdvisor (a site i always check before booking a place). i didn't want to delay reserving a place since my options were rapidly dwindling with each passing day and i have my heart set on seeing culebra.
has anyone ever stayed as casa espada? particularly the downstairs apartment? i don't think it has A/C and i don't think it has a phone (that was the impressoin i got from their website). is A/C something one really needs on culebra in late dec/early jan? or do the trade winds keep things cool enough to sleep comfortably at night?
even though i'm going to keep my reservation (it's a $50 fee for cancelling, even this far in advance - ouch!) i'd still like to hear from anyone who's stayed there. online the rooms look pretty basic and simple but extremely clean, bright and well maintained. i don't need anything fancy - but clean and well kept? definately! it also has it's own dock and appears to be a bit away from the main town. having never been to culebra (or PR) i'm not really sure how far casa espada is from dewey. i prefer to stay somewhere a little removed from the action (even though the entire island of culebra sounds removed from the action!) so if you know how far this place is from town please let me know.
thank you to anyone who responds. i appreciate it very much!
best regards,
laura
