:::The Palmetto (formerly Villa Nueva) is a welcoming, intimate guesthouse for the active traveler looking to visit Culebra. Typically, our guests enjoy spending their days at the beach swimming and snorkeling, hiking the various trails, bird watching, or just exploring the island by bike or rental car. Since the Palmetto is a small INN as a guest you will receive personal attention, as we truly want you to have a great visit. :::
:::Additionally, the guesthouse is also a great place to stay if you visit Culebra not just for the outdoor activities but are also interested in meeting fellow independent travelers at the end of the day to exchange stories and discuss the day’s happenings. :::
:::Currently, we offer five completely renovated guest rooms; three with queen sized beds, one with a full sized bed, and one room with two twin beds. All the rooms have a private bathroom, shower, refrigerator, and air conditioning. :::
