8/10 Very good

Beautiful apartment with fun decor and great outdoor space. Very clean with small kitchenette. Only downside is ambient noise from nearby pub that played loud music past 11pm, and cars blasting music as they drove by. Nothing the owner can fix, but fyi.
Shea, 1-night trip

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.

Effortless check-in and check-out procedure. The room was quiet, clean, and comfortable. I would stay here again!
JENNIFER, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

10/10 Exceptional

The property is in a great condition and in a good place! Walking distance to food options. La Plaza is right there! The host replied fast and sent us important information, even though there is not a front desk. Although the property has no parking, it was easy to park on the street. Note: loud music and loud cars pass midnight was a minor detail we didn’t like. Our room was right on the street.
Walking distance to the beach.

This place was amazing! My mother and I stayed in Luquillo for this first time and the area was great! Restaurants and little spots just walking distance! Luquillo kiosks just 7 mins drive away! The room was beautiful! We would definitely stay again!

Excellent Option for Couples

High quality and convenient stay in the middle of Luquillo. The room was very clean, comfortable, and modern, albiet small. The room also came with beach towels, beach chairs, and an umbrella, which we took full advantage of. This is also conviently located to El Yunque and many great beaches.

Cute little unit with all you need for a short stay. The staff were very resceptive to our needs. We enjoyed our 4 night stay and would recommend when visiting Luquillo.
Mary, 4-night trip

Cute property with a nice rooftop deck and a great walk in shower. Loved the beach chairs and umbrellas that were at our disposal. Very short walk to the beach and a great bar and grill and coffee shop right across the street!
Roberta, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful rooms and close to the ocean. View from shared space is wonderful. Saturday night is loud due to street parties but that is also part of the charm. They provide wonderful coffee and ear plugs. We would stay here again!
Charlene, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property was perfect for exploring the area and quick walk to the beach and incredible dining options just across the street. The staff responded quickly and when our rooms AC unit had issues they were immediate in response and moved us to another available room! It is a town with friendly people and on the weekends has a bustling night life so may not be great for families with kids but my husband I loved every minute ❤️
Megan, 2-night trip

The surfing turtle is truly a gem of Luquillo! A very nice room! Clean has all the amenities and so fun to walk to many restaurants, bars and the ocean ! I would highly recommend this place!

Great find

This hotel is a real gem. We needed a place to stay in Luquillo before getting the ferry a day later to Vieques. The hotel was clean, perfectly situated to enjoy Luquillo restaurants and bars, and the owner responded to questions very quickly. Really could not have been happier with The Surfing Turtle!
Richard, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property owner was easy to reach. There’s plenty of bars and restaurants in the area, but getting to the beach is a bit inconvenient. The upstairs patio was very nice, the beds were comfortable and rooms were well supplied.

I stayed in Puerto Rico by myself and this property was absolutely convenient and close by took everything I needed for my very short stay I recommend the surfing turtle to anyone who wants to feel like a local! The police station is right around the corner not that you need it. Food was accessible right across the street with a great breakfast and dinner. I highly recommend the surf surfing turtle!

Carmen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The host went above and beyond their means to accommodate us. There was a problem with the room that we booked, but then were shifted to a bigger room. The host was very responsive and provided us with information when we needed. Kids enjoyed sleeping in the bunk beds. Parking were available nearby and the beautiful beach was just a few minutes of walk. There were plenty of restaurants in the area and great breakfast place just infront of the hotel. Great work, keep it up.
