Culebra, Puerto Rico Comes of Age

April 22nd, 2008

Perhaps that headline is not quite fair. In fact, this International Herald Tribune article says  just about the opposite. It’s still a sleepy back-water, an incredible bargain, and exactly what you hope for in any Caribbean location.

[…]Culebra, a tiny island halfway between St. Thomas and Puerto Rico, still clings hard to its peaceful origins. It’s the kind of place where Carnival and Royal Caribbean don’t visit, the Four Seasons can’t be found, and you really have to work hard to spend more than $200 a night on a hotel room.

We’re working double-time on the database that backs up the homes we’re showing in Puerto Rico. We’ve got condomniums in just about the entire island, and on some of the surrounding islands too, but nothing in Culebra yet. We’ll see how the tiny island fares.

    Hopefully there will never be condos or anything like them on Culebra. So many people are making so much money selling *the most pristine spots in the world*.
    Very sad. As Gailin said in the IHT article, yes, growth is good for Culebra, but the right kind, the small kind.
    Please direct your people to the big island of PR. They’ll be happier and so will we.
