Three Days in Paradise…Could this be yours? Day one: Dawn arrives with a brilliant sunrise over Culebra's harbor, Ensenada Honda. For breakfast and coffee, you take the kayak to Dinghy Dock restaurant, “a great way to start the day”. Back at Casa Ensenada, relax and sunbathe on the patio, cooled by trade wind breezes. Your view across the harbor is sailboats from around the world bobbing at anchor, with a backdrop of rolling hills. In the afternoon, you hop on the publico in front of the guesthouse and go to Playa Flamenco, at the west end of Culebra. The Playa has pristine, sandy beaches and crystal-clear water. Than back at Casa Ensenada for cocktails on the patio and barbecue catch-of-the-day on the gas grill. You hit the sack after catching the news and a sitcom on your satellite TV. Day two: A scuba/snorkeling trip with lunch fills in the morning. After a siesta in your air-conditioned room, you rent a bike and go to Zoni Beach at the east end of Culebra. Zoni is even more picturesque than Flamenco, and you're the only one there! You cook dinner in your kitchen and then crash early. Day three: You stock up on Culebra tee shirts from the gift shops in town and mail “wish you were here” postcards. For the afternoon, you pack a lunch, rent a motorboat at the Casa Ensenada pier and go to Culebrita Island for a picnic, swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing on the beach. You wind up the day at Mamacitas restaurant with bushwhacker cocktails and a lobster feast. Yes, these Days in Paradise can be yours! Features of Casa Ensenada……….
