El Navegante de Culebra

Top choice in Culebra


This central lodging has eight units, all airy and simply furnished with a distinct marine theme. Many have gorgeous bay views and a deck makes enjoying the vista easy. Key drop boxes – you'll be given a code – and lockers, big enough for monster suitcases, mean you can do your own check-in/out. Restaurant La Cocina del Navegante is next door.
