Other than very cold room, took forever to warm up, and loud street, everything worked out well for one night stay.

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.
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.
After a long trip, staying here was a breath of fresh air. This hostel is the gold standard for hospitality. The check-in process was seamless and professional, and the entire place was spotlessly clean.
What really sets them apart is the attention to detail. They provide everything you could possibly need: beach towels, chairs, an umbrella, and even great coffee with sugar choices for you to brew. The bathroom was stocked with toiletries, and the location was perfect. You can tell the owners truly care about the guest experience. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else! Would definitely be coming back.
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.
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.
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!
