The beds are excellent and super comfortable. AC is really good. You'll have to find parking on your own though. Otherwise, I would definitely come back again on my future trips to Puerto Rico

overall the experience was excelente with the exception to not having parking, it was all in great condition, the room was more spacius than it seemed and some beach supplies were given to use in the beach nearby, one bathroom was slightly dirty but the other was extremely clean, the beds were all in the same room making it perfect for friends or family to enjoy time together with some curtains in each bed to add some privacy to each one. definitely would return for future visits.

Very clean and had everything you needed in a small space. Liked that it had beach chairs and an umbrella. Parking is lacking and the area was noisy all night.

The place is put together nicely. The only negative were the guest staying in the adjacent room were noisy late at night. Good restaurants right across the street and easy 2 minutes walk to gorgeous beach.

Romantic escape
This place was so romantic. The room had all of the perfect amenities for the beach! From beach chairs, umbrella, and nice cold drinking water...to q-tips, luscious towels, and make up remover pads. Loved the decor! Will definitely return again.

Wonderful stay at the Surfing Turtle! The room was clean, comfortable and with a beautiful walk in shower. It was so easy to walk to the beach with the complimentary towels and beach chairs, and to go out in the Luquillo nightlife an easy walk away. Though very convenient, it was loud at night, especially being in the room right on the street. Bring earplugs and it's the perfect place!

Loved this property! It was so clean and convenient to a places. There were plenty of bars and restaurants near by. The property was IMMACULATE. There were beach chairs, towels, and umbrella for us to use. There is a bar a block down that is open late and very loud. We didn’t mind but just a heads up if you’re looking for something quiet on the weekends. Check in was so simple. Even though there was no assigned parking, we had no issues finding any nearby.

This was about as basic as you can get but that’s all I need for one night. It’s about the size of an average bedroom with a bathroom. It’s also nice to have the beach within a couple blocks. Didnt seem like a beach you can swim in though. The check-in process was very easy which is always welcomed. Although this isn’t their fault but be warned it can get VERY loud with the bars nearby. Music was blasting right outside my room until 11:30pm on a Sunday night. If not for that I’d probably give this place a perfect score. I was bummed not to have a coffee maker in my room but there is a quaint coffee spot directly across the street called Coffee Therapy that’s open from 7am-3pm. The parking situation isn’t ideal either and you’ll probably have to park a block or two over along the plaza. Overall a perfectly adequate place for a one night stay but beware of the noisy neighborhood.
