Beautiful property and amazing ocean view. Has an amazing terrace patio you can watch the sun rise on the ocean. Definitely worth the stay. King size bed is 2 twins put together so if you like to sleep close to someone the couch is unfortunately a better alternative
Room was nice food around was great. Parking wasn’t to far

Great stay for our family of 5. Close to the beach, clean and well appointed family room with everything you need for the beach. Great breakfast across the street.
The room provided everything needed. Centrally located, felt safe. Owner very responsive. Was able to meet the housekeeping staff, Marianela was wonderful and went above and beyond. Upstairs deck area lovely.

We stayed two seperate times, once was when we first landed on the island before getting stuck due to storm Fern.
Room was perfect! Location was perfect! The only problem was we only booked The Surfing Turtle for One night! The coffee shop across the street was amazing! We are already talking to come back and stay longer..
Excellent location, great room. We had a great time in Luquillo! The staff were communicative and quick to respond to any issues (body wash dispenser was empty and one of the beach chairs was broken, both were handled quickly). Not very noisy at night except for the occasional car blasting reggaeton music and the hotel provided ear plugs. The call of the coqui frogs was a great way to fall asleep!
We had a wonderful stay! The interior was beautiful and very welcoming, and the room had all the essential amenities, all very clean and well maintained. The front patio with a beach view created such happy, relaxing vibes, and the service throughout our stay was excellent. The two days we spent here left an everlasting impression. We especially appreciated the cute kitchen and utensils, TV/internet, and the beach chairs—such thoughtful touches. Would absolutely love to stay here again.
Check information was received in a timely manner. There were lots of beach amenities (towels, loungers, umbrella) provided in the room. Nice coffee setup for the mornings. The property communicated with us promptly during a power outage but it was only one grid so we walked to La Pared and grabbed a bite at Boardriders. It was nice they provided wait plugs bc I image it wouldn’t been very noisy during the night if the power hadn’t shutdown. I felt safe in the area and the people we met were pleasant and friendly. 100% would stay here again!
Ease of Checking In,Cleanliness and good communication.

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.
Staff was quick to respond and very helpful through text. Very clean room, note there are ear plugs to use for sleep. With that said understand you are staying in a local community. They party all night, and you will hear it. We didn't mind. Room had beach chairs and towels for use which was a great extra!
The room was nice but the location is subject to too much noise. It’s not easy to get a good night’s sleep due to high volume noise (music), especially on weekends

The rooms were extremely noisy. Very loud music from two bars up the street flows through the single paned jalousie windows till 2 am. Also, a steady stream of very loud motorcycles and cars cruise past till a bit later. Right on the main drag.
