We just spent one night but wished we stayed more days. The place was very convenient for our family of four. Great places to eat nearby and lovely beaches.

The hotel is wonderful. Every morning I was able to come outside and watch the sunrise while enjoying my morning coffee. The hotel is super clean and the staff were very pleasant whenever we interacted with them. The manager reached out also ensuring we were having a great stay. Me and my kids were able to have breakfast, lunch and dinner and were mesmerized by the beach view. We would definitely come back on our next trip.

This place was amazing! My mother and I stayed in Luquillo for this first time and the area was great! Restaurants and little spots just walking distance! Luquillo kiosks just 7 mins drive away! The room was beautiful! We would definitely stay again!

Wonderful rooms and close to the ocean. View from shared space is wonderful. Saturday night is loud due to street parties but that is also part of the charm. They provide wonderful coffee and ear plugs. We would stay here again!

The surfing turtle is truly a gem of Luquillo! A very nice room! Clean has all the amenities and so fun to walk to many restaurants, bars and the ocean ! I would highly recommend this place!

10/10 Exceptional

This property was perfect for exploring the area and quick walk to the beach and incredible dining options just across the street. The staff responded quickly and when our rooms AC unit had issues they were immediate in response and moved us to another available room! It is a town with friendly people and on the weekends has a bustling night life so may not be great for families with kids but my husband I loved every minute ❤️

8/10 Very good

The property owner was easy to reach. There’s plenty of bars and restaurants in the area, but getting to the beach is a bit inconvenient. The upstairs patio was very nice, the beds were comfortable and rooms were well supplied.

I was pleased with my stay and would stay again if I was on the second floor. The property kindly moved me, as the ground floor does have some noise issues and also with the rain, my colleague had water coming into her room. But on the second floor it was very nice.
Megan, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Not really a hotel, but more like an Air BNB with self check in and no reception area. Nice clean and modern room with everything we needed, including coffee and waters complimentary. We stayed here for 3 nights to visit El Yunque and surrounding beaches. The top floors 6 and 7 have the nice view of the ocean, and the roof deck outside. Great location for these day trips. This area of Luquillo also has some good restaurants and a nice cafe across the street for breakfast. Easy street parking.

The place is put together nicely. The only negative were the guest staying in the adjacent room were noisy late at night. Good restaurants right across the street and easy 2 minutes walk to gorgeous beach.
Samuel, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Room was great.... However its location to the night life is great..... Very load music and vehicles racing on the street till 2am maybe longer.... finally left at 2am to get some sleep
Alan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

overall the experience was excelente with the exception to not having parking, it was all in great condition, the room was more spacius than it seemed and some beach supplies were given to use in the beach nearby, one bathroom was slightly dirty but the other was extremely clean, the beds were all in the same room making it perfect for friends or family to enjoy time together with some curtains in each bed to add some privacy to each one. definitely would return for future visits.

10/10 Exceptional

The room and patio were great! 5 minute walk to the beach. There is no front desk, but the service through text messaging was great, with good directions to get to the hotel, where to park, and how to access your room. The only down side was the noise from outside, with loud music from the bar on the corner, and jerks drag racing down the street into the wee hours of the morning, music blaring. Also a couple of yappy dogs nearby bark all night long. But aside from the noise, it was a lovely stay!

Good.

Smooth check in and out procedures. Property was clean and as expected but every time it rained (which was often) the window leaked leading to large puddles on the floor. We sacrificed most of our towels to keeping the floor and our belongs dry.
