everything. The inn has three units (accommodating two, four or up to six people) with kit-

Villa Boheme
GUESTHOUSE $$
( 787-742-3508;

;
Calle Fulladoza; r $98-139; )
A re-
cent remodel has spiffed up this well-situated guesthouse already endowed with a breezy
communal patio, lovely bay views, kayak rentals and proximity to town (not to mention
the Dinghy Dock restaurant next door). A few of the colorful rooms are equipped with kit-
chenette for guests who don't care to make use of the shared cooking facilities. Rates dip
in low season.
Mamacita's
GUESTHOUSE $$
( 787-742-0090;

;
64 Calle Castelar; r $89-125;
)
Screaming lurid pink, pastel purple, green, blue and perhaps a little yellow, Mama-
cita's is the raffish Caribbean crash pit you've been dreaming about. And although the wa-
ter's invariably cold, and the reception staff will have probably gone home by the time your
boat arrives, there's something strangely contagious about this old Culebra stalwart. The 10
rooms are simple but attractive, the vibe in the adjacent bar fun and casual, and the on-site
restaurant a living legend.
Posada La Hamaca
HOTEL $$
( 787-742-3516;
www.posada.com
;
r $89-155; )
Next to Mamacita's, La
Hamaca has a tough act to follow and lies somewhat in its neighbor's shadow. It's a shame,
because it's not a bad option. Rooms are basic but comfortable and overlook the canal,
while location wise you're right in the heart of Dewey with plenty of eating options within
walking distance. The front desk is an excellent source of local information.
Hotel Kokomo
HOTEL $
( 787-742-3112;
www.culebra-kokomo.com
;
r $44-138; )
If you're anxious to
dump your bags in the first visible crash pad in order to get out exploring, then Hotel
Kokomo, the bright yellow building right across from the ferry dock, is just the ticket.
Rooms, while still basic, are clean and cheery enough. Check your room before committing
