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.

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.

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.

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!

Staff was quick to respond and very helpful through text. Very clean room, note there are ear plugs to use for sleep. With that said understand you are staying in a local community. They party all night, and you will hear it. We didn't mind. Room had beach chairs and towels for use which was a great extra!

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!

Room 7 was just perfect for our quick getaway to Puerto Rico. Conveniently located close to the activities we wanted to do, El Yunque, Luquillo Beach, Ferry Boat to Vieques and Culebra, and many golf courses. The room was modern and comfortable, and staff was easy to contact and accommodating. Check in and check out was as easy as can be. Would definitely stay again.
