I spent one night in Culebra and slept here. The room was very clean and had all the necessary amenities, plus a balcony. Very good location especially if you need to get the ferry early morning, it’s just 5min away from the ferry.
Great location from the ferry and not far from Flamenco Beach. Great restaurant... steak and red snapper were excellent
Stayed three nights and it was perfect. Great location (close to the terminal), great food and drinks but above all, the staff was awesome. Friendly, accommodating, and ensured everything was perfect. Interestingly, the first night of my stay was met with a bad storm. The power went out on the island due to three power station explosions. The staff, however, made sure everyone was comfortable (considering the circumstances) and made sure we weren’t hungry. They were limited in resources due to the power outage but that didn’t stop them from making my stay perfect. Loved my time here.
For a 2 star hotel this is a great hotel. The service is just amazing. The staff is super friendly and serviceable. We had a couple of issues that were quickly solved. The rooms are 2 star, but provide the essentials that you need to have a pleasant stay. The restaurant (staff, food, service, atmosphere) is extraordinary. If you like shrimp, you got to try the Mofongo (Yuca) with shrimp or the shrimp scampi.
I was a little worried about this place due to the other reviews but I think any low review of this place is simply due to unmet expectations. This hotel was EXACTLY what I needed as a solo traveler who needed an affordable room with a lot of convenience. This place is so close to the ferry, the banks, multiple restaurants and bars, the car rental spot, etc. Front desk service was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. My only complaint is that it does get loud here at multiple times of the day. If you’re a light sleeper, bring ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones and that will solve that issue. That’s a small inconvenience to bring compared to what you get for a great price. For the staff: if there’s any way you can solve that small step issue to the bathroom, I stubbed my toe many times. Not a deal breaker at all, guests just have to be extra careful.
Feb 19 to the 20th 2025 we stayed in mamacitas with 2 daughters and we loved it. The bunk beds are nice and the girls loved it..very friendly workers..the room is perfect for what we wanted and I give it 5 star. There a few details that I have to warn you..room 204 does not have hot water. The room has a balcony and it is next to a small street and can get noisy..on Thursdays the trash truck collection comes at 4am!!! Woke me up. And random rooster making noise early. Overall we had a good experience here and also there is a restaurant and bar downstairs next to the river..location is awesome walking distance from the pier and there are restaurants and bars. We loved this place.
Went to eat, food took a bit, but was delicious. We were told we could not join two tables, so our kids had to eat separately, but it was ok and they had fun watching the fish in the canal.
Considering that its the only place on the island that you can stay that's not an Air B&B or individual owners rental its something that you'll remember forever ... the onsite bar and grill along with karaoke at night and on the waterway that cuts through the island its picture perfect... really enjoyed it !!
This laid-back guesthouse in a colorful building is a 16-minute walk from Melones Beach, a kilometer from Benjamín Rivera Noriega Airport and 4 km from Flamenco Beach.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
