The Surfing Turtle Inn in Luquillo was probably the best part of our entire Puerto Rico vacation.
We had originally booked a three-night stay at a "luxury" property in El Yunque, but unfortunately had to cut our stay short after the first night. Around 6:00 AM on Friday morning, I contacted Surfing Turtle Inn, and the staff could not have been more kind, accommodating, and understanding. Not only did they allow us to check in early, but they gave us a phenomenal room that completely turned our trip around.
I'll admit that after reading some reviews, I was slightly hesitant. However, once we arrived, all of those concerns disappeared. This stay was absolutely worth it and truly made the last part of our Puerto Rico vacation special.
The location is perfect. It's steps from the beach, walkable to restaurants, shops, and everything you could need. There's even an amazing coffee shop right across the street. Parking was easy, the neighborhood felt safe, and everyone we encountered was incredibly friendly.
Some reviews mention road noise, and while there are cars passing by, it honestly did not bother us at all. We could barely hear anything from our room. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and we slept like babies both nights. The inn even provided earplugs, though we never felt the need to use them.
The room itself was spotless, cool and comfortable after long days in the Puerto Rican heat, and thoughtfully designed. The attention to detail in the décor was impressive. It truly felt like a boutique surf hotel with a laid-back coastal vibe. The aesthetic was beautiful without feeling overdone.
The amenities were another highlight. We loved the rooftop views, and the complimentary beach chairs and beach towels were such a nice touch. There was also a coffee station, microwave, and everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
Most importantly, this place gave us exactly what we needed after a stressful start to our trip: a relaxing, welcoming home base where we could unwind and enjoy Luquillo.
If you're looking for a unique, clean, comfortable, laid-back, and aesthetically pleasing place to stay, do not hesitate to book Surfing Turtle Inn. We cannot say enough good things about our experience and would absolutely stay here again. read more
