Excellent Option for Couples

High quality and convenient stay in the middle of Luquillo. The room was very clean, comfortable, and modern, albiet small. The room also came with beach towels, beach chairs, and an umbrella, which we took full advantage of. This is also conviently located to El Yunque and many great beaches.

Cute property with a nice rooftop deck and a great walk in shower. Loved the beach chairs and umbrellas that were at our disposal. Very short walk to the beach and a great bar and grill and coffee shop right across the street!

Great find

This hotel is a real gem. We needed a place to stay in Luquillo before getting the ferry a day later to Vieques. The hotel was clean, perfectly situated to enjoy Luquillo restaurants and bars, and the owner responded to questions very quickly. Really could not have been happier with The Surfing Turtle!

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!

Super cute - Right off of the square

This is an excellent home base from which to enjoy the east side of the island. The rooms are excellent and a great coffee shop literally steps from the front door. Very close to the town square. Do be prepared for road noise and lively folks outside but the owners are aware and provided earplugs - although I did not need them. If you like being in the heart of the action and have a super cute place to stay... this is it! The parking is roadside but we were able to get a spot right outside our door every day... not an issue at all.

Nice facility but road noise

The facility is nice and the rooms are well appointed but the road noise and traffic at night is a problem. The restaurants near by are great but I would not return because of the noise. They need speed bumps on the road in front of the hotel or something.

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.

Incredibly convenient check in process and amazing location in walking distance to restaurants, bars, and the beach!

Fantastic stay

The location was only a block from the beach and near all sorts of good restaurants. The only drawback was the road noise, which we were aware of going in. If you can, get a unit in the back (5,6,7) where the noise might not be as bad, but some of the cars had such loud subs that I think you could probably hear them loud and clear all the way to the beach! The room itself was spacious, the bed was comfy, the shower nice and hot, and all the amenities were there, including coffee maker, fridge and microwave. Parking was within a block of the inn. Check in was easy and they were very communicative.
Lily, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quaint Inn nestled within a friendly neighborhood. You can see the beach, which is within walking distance of the Inn, from the balcony. Cute coffee shop right across the street. Easy self check-in and out. Room was spacious and modern. The bed is listed as a king but is two twins pushed together with a mattress connector. The mattresses are comfortable but the dip that's created if the mattress connector isn't secured correctly is very uncomfortable. Overall I really like the Inn and would booked with them again.
