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!

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 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.
