Recently I dared to suggest that Costa Bonita might not be as bad as portrayed by many on this forum, and was roundly attacked.
That is ok, because forums are like that, and I have a rather thick skin.
What we have on Culebra, however, is sort of a reverse elitism, wherein some of the recent "settlers" (within the last ten years or so) think their vision of the island is the holy grail and all other thoughts should be banished.
Bonita has its flaws, but it also has promise still. I own no property there, but I can see how, now that it is built, it could be a positive thing for Culebra.
It seems to me that rocks being thrown at Bonita might be better employed by filling the giant potholes at the approach to Zoni, and that instead of focusing hatred toward that development, smart people should be getting together and figuring out how to make Costa Bonita a better place. If Culebra has bright people, why can't they form an ad hoc group and have some CONSTRUCTIVE discussion?
My own credentials are lacking, having visited Culebra but a half dozen times, but I find for all its beauty and charm, it is in some ways a strange place for the types of emotions I touched upon above. My wife and I have come to know many residents and some part time visitors, and it has been an honor for us.
But I do wish a more positive, constructive dialogue could ensue.
