Costa Bonita Resort Villas is located Ensenada Honda, considered one of the Caribbean�s safest bay in the tiny island of Culebra, 18 miles east of Puerto Rico, with a laid-back atmosphere and an abundance of natural attractions. A large portion of the island of Culebra is a national wildlife refuge protected by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Department of Natural Resources. Culebra is about 4 by 7 miles and it is one of a chain referred to as the �Spanish Virgin Islands� though technically it is a part of the Greater Antilles and is U.S. territory. ST. Thomas is jut 12 miles away.

Culebra�s main airport is tiny Benjamin Rivera Noriega Airport and Costa Bonita is 4 miles from the airport and, 10 minutes from Dewey, its main town. About 2,000 people make their home in Culebra, many of them work in construction and the tourism industry.

Walter Kohlross, president of Key Management Group, has decades of experience organizing and coordinating restaurant and hotel operations, and will be working closely with Laclé to develop a distinct brand to reflect the unique splendor of the 164-villa resort.  �We are faced with the exciting challenge of developing top-of-mind awareness of Costa Bonita Resort to all travelers looking for a truly amazing vacation experience,� said Kohlross.

�All villas are fully equipped and include kitchenettes, ocean view balconies and amenities to accommodate up to four people, and the landscapes are truly spectacular,� noted Kohlross.

Renovations are expected to be completed during the next 60 days, when Costa Bonita�s restaurants, spa and water sports facilities will reopen for guests� enjoyment.  Key Management Group will personally oversee the opening of all restaurants, including the Pelican Grill, Infinity Pool Bar and Mahi-Mahi Bar & Restaurant.

The new management team will also utilize Costa Bonita Resort�s exceptional meeting facilities, seating up to 60 people, to market the oceanfront property to business travelers as well as other group markets, such as wedding receptions and family reunions.  Costa Bonita�s nautical surroundings also make it ideal for regattas, fishing tournaments, and other aquamarine activities, such as water sports and boat rentals.

Transportation is available to and from the resort from Air Flamenco as well as Island High Speed Ferry by sea.
