OK. This is my last post, you just don't get anything eleven people now have tried to tell you. Even after I showed you one of your own posts that was negative and "flaming" (your word).

Well Terry my dear, hear is a few things you

I know and agree with you. I just thought I would clear the air on forums being only for positive feedback. And flaming is flaming. If we all agree a business is bad or if we can't agree, it is still

Who cares if it was harmful? Costa Bonita has dug its own grave. You're not likely to find any good press about it here because those of us that adore Culebra abhor Costa Bonita.

Very cute, but not too astute.
Flaming a family restaurant is
one thing, Costa Bonita is another.

Thanks Jeannie for that update.
I'm gonna try to get over there.
I was going to Vieques for the

Richard, tourists are stakeholders of a sort, in that the money they spend dries up if they don't return. I'm not sure anyone is completely fluent in the politics of the island, but we've been aroun

It helps to know that a parade of phonies has, by feigning green principles, given genuine caring folks a little tougher row to hoe*. Remember Victor Gonzales? He claimed his beach privatization act

I agree with Sunnybabe; never should have been built but I just read there are over 60 more building requests pending approval on Culebra.
