Room was decent but the sound was terrible.it felt like you are sleeping on the road. We stayed in room 2. Its facing the road. You hear ever car and every bike going on the road. And some one started playing loud music at 10.30 PM and continued most of the night. I am a sound sleeper usually can sleep any where but couldnt sleep here even for a minute.

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.

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.

The hotel is wonderful. Every morning I was able to come outside and watch the sunrise while enjoying my morning coffee. The hotel is super clean and the staff were very pleasant whenever we interacted with them. The manager reached out also ensuring we were having a great stay. Me and my kids were able to have breakfast, lunch and dinner and were mesmerized by the beach view. We would definitely come back on our next trip.

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.

My sister and I had a great stay at The Surfing Turtle Inn. The property was clean, the room was clean, decorated beautifully, and had everything we needed for comfortable stay. Expresso machine, refrigerator, bottle opener, glassware, beach chairs, towels, cotton swabs, stops. The beds were comfortable and the AC was just right! We loved the location! Quaint, busy coffee shop across the street, Coffee Therapy, from the Inn, a spirit store, burger joint and other delicious food options within a block distance. Minutes away from a local strip of restaurants, bars and a beach full of action. We are already looking forward to a future stay!

I was pleased with my stay and would stay again if I was on the second floor. The property kindly moved me, as the ground floor does have some noise issues and also with the rain, my colleague had water coming into her room. But on the second floor it was very nice.
