The rooms are super clean and modern. The bathroom is modern and there is hot water; the beds are comfortable and the A/C temperature is perfect. There is parking; several restaurants and so close to the beach! The host is super nice and answers quickly. I will definitely tell my family and friends to come here to the Turtle Surfing Inn in Luquillo, PR.
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
Can't say enough good things about The Surfing Turtle! The room was spotless and spacious. The AC was on point, the staff was friendly and super helpful, the shared terrace is super cute, and not to mention the location is everything. A lovely café across the street, bars, restaurants, and the beach just steps away. I will definitely be returning and staying there again. 10 out of 10!

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.
We stayed here for 8 nights during our visit to Luquillo. We loved the location as it’s a short walk to the beach. Wonderful coffee shop across the street. Great restaurants within walking distance. Prompt response for any requests made. It does get a little loud at night, however, provided ear plugs did the trick. Also, bed was very comfortable. We hope to return. Thank you for a memorable vacation.

We stayed two seperate times, once was when we first landed on the island before getting stuck due to storm Fern.
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 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.
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..
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.
