Just returned from 5 days on Culebra. Beautiful beaches, crystal clear waters, great people, good snorkeling, very relaxing. We were a little surprised by the trash around the island, but compared to the "big" island, it was pretty clean.
However, our trip was marred by our accommodations. We spent a LOT of money on a place that I could never recommend. Dirty, shabby furniture, thread-bare towels/linens; and a bathroom that flooded every time we took showers were just part of the problems. It was filled with mosquitoes that we battled every night. My poor daughter had over 50 bites from something on her legs, and that was with the use of Deet! Perhaps it has been let deteriorate because it is for sale, but just a little money invested in it would make it tolerable. We wanted to move, but all other places were filled. 2 years ago we were in Costa Rica and stayed in guest houses. Nothing fancy, but clean, delightful places that enriched our trip. I am sorry to say that Casa Ensenada did not do that for us in Culebra. Buyer beware!
