This is our favorite inn. Visited: July 2007 Posted by aslesl This is our favorite inn. It is pure Puerto Rican. It gives one a chance to get away from the e-mail, television and hectic pace. You have all the amenities you need: clean beds and shower, refrig. and cooking utensils, and air conditioning. You can walk to open air restaurants, and enjoy a stroll around town. The locals do not want cruise ships, chain restaurants, or high rise hotels. I hope they keep it that way. It's easy to catch a van to the beach at the front door. 4 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? extremely small, extremely loud Visited: February 2005 Posted by jhenrylong My wife reserved a week at the Posada La Hamaca online. The rate was $80/day. The room was the absolutely smallest I've stayed in. The room was slightly bigger than the bed. So small that there was no room for: a chair of any kind, a table, or even a closet. As I said, no closet, just a few hooks on the room wall. The toilet had two signs saying that you needed to not flush your used toilet paper but were required to put it in the waste basket in the bathroom. The sign in English said it was because the toilet clogged. The sign in Spanish said it was for ecological reasons, unstated. Our first night was on a Saturday. At nine PM sharp, at the neighboring outdoor bar, a few feet from our room, an extremely loud drum band stated up. The drummers were good, but we were tired and wanted to sleep. I was afraid the band would continue nonstop until 2 or 3 in the morning. Fortunately, it stopped at 11 PM sharp. There must be some ordinance in Culebra closing bars down at 11 PM because the customers were pushed out the door at that time, with a police cruiser dropping by a couple minutes later. We moved to Flamenco Beach Villa a day later for the remainder of our stay on Culebra. The $55 a night extra, per night, was well worth it. We don't expect a lot when vacationing on the cheap, but this place was really, really bad. 6 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful?

Did you find this helpful? I will return to Culebra, but not to Posada. Visited: February 2004 Posted by jacjac969 I do feel bad criticizing this guest house, but I feel it is warranted. Positives: It was $95 a night, with a decent sized room that had a very comfortable bed - a well-equipped efficiency studio: The room had a ceiling fan, air conditioner, 2-burner hotplate, toaster, coffeemaker, microwave, plates, cutlery, pots, pans, cooking utensils, etc. It was also in a convenient location: access to great food, supplies, supermarket, cash machine, internet store, and beaches. The manager was friendly, helpful, easygoing, and forthcoming with information. The owner was a wonderful, kind and generous woman. On my last day, she happened to notice me waiting for my taxi to take me to the airport. She offered to drive me herself. She offered me the use of her cell phone to cancel the taxi I had called. When we got to the airport, she carried my bag (it was very heavy!) out of her truck. I cannot speak highly enough of her. She really impressed me. The negatives (and they are considerable): I stayed for eight nights (Feb. 16-24), and they never cleaned my room. After the fourth night, the manager said they would clean my room the next day. They did not. No explanation was given. It seemed clear that they just didn't feel like cleaning my room, so they didn't. On my seventh day here, the manager came up to me and asked me if I wanted clean sheets. No apology was given for not having cleaned my room as she had said. I told her that I was staying only two more nights, so never mind. No housekeeping meant take out my own garbage, using wet towels, and most insulting, buying my own toilet paper. Check-out time was 10:00 am! After being so laid-back about their treatment of the guests, it was so rude to rush the guests out of there. Lastly, and for me this was the clincher. I had accidentally left a bag of local candy bars in the refrigerator. I had bought them as little gifts to bring back for friends. I returned within an hour of checking out, to retrieve my candy bars. The cleaning man was already there. I told him that I just came back to get the candy I left in the fridge. He told me that he already took it out of the fridge, and he pointed to the counter. I walked over to get them. As I walked over, he said, "I ate one of them." I opened the bag and saw that he had actually eaten two of them. I said, "You ate two of them." And he replied, "yeah." He was completely unapologetic. Just then the manager walked in. She had heard the whole conversation. She said, "You ate two of her candy bars?" She slapped him on the back and started laughing. I won't ever go back this guest house. 8 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? You will be delightfully surprised by the Posada La Hamaca! Visited: September 2002 Posted by kxriggle My family and I stayed here for a couple of nights and we were treated like royalty. The innkeeper was the best source for information on snorkeling and where to eat. Remember that this little island has none of the fancy big hotels or restaurants. It is more of what I envisioned the islands to be, quaint, personable and a hide-away from civilization. Go and enjoy! 3 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? Posada La Hamaca is a wonderful place in paradise (Culebra). Visited: July 2002 Posted by dignadel I stayed here with my family. We have visited Culebra for many years, since the 1980s. We used to go camping, but now our backs want a bed. We have also stayed in other inns and houses. This one is the best. The service is great, nice and efficient, but they also give you your privacy. The prices are okay. The building is pretty and comfortable. They provide ice, a balcony, and you can keep your belongings locked after you leave the room until you leave the island. The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen. At night, we sit by the canal and have a lovely time. We loved it here, and we will be visiting again in July 2003. 1 users found this review helpful. 1 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? Great! It was acommodating, clean and comfortable Visited: February 2002 Posted by moaronoff I just returned from my first trip to Culebra. I was very satisfied with Posada La Hamaca. The rooms were functional, comfortable and very clean. Their prices were most reasonable and the management was very helpful. I would absolutely stay here again! 1 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? Clean, comfortable, convenient accommodations Visited: February 2001 Posted by marilyns01 I spent a week here and was very satisfied. The location is ideal; I walked to Dinghy Dock for breakfast and other nearby restaurants for dinner. Particularly enjoyed the waterside patio at the hotel and the cooler provided in the room for beach picnics. I would definitely recommend earplugs for guests who go to bed early, as Mamacita's bar is right next door and very popular. Yes, I'll be going back! 2 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful. Did you find this helpful? Not bad for Culebra Visited: July 2000 Posted by millernn We stayed here in July of 2000 at the height of the Puerto Rican vacation season. We were directed to eat at American run restaurants because the typical Puerto Rican restaurants that we tried out seemed to cater to the people that lived there. We live in Puerto Rico and the service on the main island is much better and the food is also much better. We brought a Hibachi and cooked on the beach as there were quite a few small markets near Posada La Hamaca. The rooms were a little small but the air-conditioner was great. The ice machine didnt work but there was plenty of ice nearby. There was also a bookcase where you could swap paperback books and a shower and storage outside for people that needed to wait after checking out. 3 users found this review helpful. 0 found this review unhelpful.
