Jun 20, 2009 09:00 am By: Noel	5	Grande Apartment Was Very Clean and Confortable I went to Culebra and stayed at the Grande apartment. It was very clean and confortable. My family included a 4 months twins girls and a 4 years boy. We used our boat and docking at Casa Enseanada was very easy. The Manager was very helpful and she was availble for any need we may have. I look forward to staying again with other relatives and friends because I want them to experience Culebra and Casa Ensenada.
Jun 18, 2009 05:26 am By: Javier	5	Casa Ensenada Was Awesome We went to Casa Ensanada on april 25-26 09, and it was awesome. We felt like we were in our own beach house, everything we needed was there in that confortable room. Even it was a rainy weekend we spend 2 days of relaxing and unforgetable moments. Strongly suggested.
Jun 10, 2009 12:00 pm By: Mat	5	Casa Ensenada was the best place we stayed. Casa Ensenada was definitely one of the best places we stayed during our week in puerto rico (weekend on Culebra). The Staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed in the Pequeno unit. It was affordable, and being there really made you feel like you had your own home on the harbor. During our stay we body surfed at Flamenco beach, which was great. One day we rented a jeep (totally worth it) and drove all over the island beach hopping then went to dinner at juanita bananas up on the hill. This was one of the best meals in the most beautiful settings. Our last day there we hired a super nice guy named Rob from dinghy dock to take us to Culebrita Island, which is stunning, just be careful of the bees which will swarm around you if you're holding fresh water. apparently they're dehydrated. The beach we saw there was probably the most beautiful ever, and the tide pools are extremely cool. All in all it was a great experience, We'd stay there again.
