We just returned from our first visit to Culebra and 3 nights at Costa Bonita. What you need to realize is that this is a condominium arrangement and not really a full service hotel resort. It sounds like this has been the case for sometime.

Positives: Our room which was a "junior suite" was quite nice with granite counters and tile floors. There is a large Queen bed and a Queen-size pull out couch in two rooms separated by pocket doors. There is a refrigerator (but no freezer?) as well as a microwave coffee maker (no filters or other supplies), two burner cooktop and dishes with pots and pans. Nice balcony with chairs and table as well as a decent partial view of the bay (we took the lower priced suite). Daily maid service. The pool is nice as well although neither the swim up or stand up bar were reliably open if this is important to you. People just BYOB. Others staying there over the Easter weekend were almost exclusively Puerto Ricans. Access to Zoni (great!) and Flamenco beach without a trip throug town.

Negatives: No services, not even coffee in the morning or reliable bar service which means you need to drive into town (10 minutes) or stock up at the grocer when you arrive (this was not an easy feat around Good Friday and Easter). The bathroom is not airconditioned for unclear reasons but this was not a problem at least in April. Friendly if somewhat small and confused staff.
