I had a great stay here! The room was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location is excellent — very close to the city center and the beach. Check-in was smooth, and the host was friendly. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area, and I’d be happy to come back!

This small hostel is on one of the side streets that leads to the plaza. So you don't get the direct noise from the plaza but you're right there! It's also a 5-minute drive from the famous Luquillo restaurant row. The king room was very comfortable. All of the details were right on point! The coffee bar/convenience area was such a pleasure. Aside from offering a working fridge, microwave and coffee maker, they also have a couple of mugs and ... wine glasses with a wine bottle opener! The details let you know there was a lot of love poured into the concept of this room. From the decor to door stoppers, TV, hair dryer, turtles on the duvet. Right in the room there are beach chairs and umbrellas. The beach is a 3-minute walk! Also nearby are restaurants, bars and a cool, open-air area with a small stage with live music right on the beach boulevard. We got a chance to glance quickly at the room with the bunk beds and it looked very clean and roomy. Don't forget to have breakfast on the rooftop! You get a small view of the beach, and the wood bunks are just calm. There are rooms up there, as well.

Location, decor, rooftop lounge all wonderful. Great restaurants in walking distance. The behavior of the locals with the loud/blaring music and racing up & down the streets to the early morning we could have done without that so thank you for the ear plugs. Beach chairs and umbrella really enhanced our visit to the beach!

The AC directly sending air on the bed. The Saturday night party in town(I understood that night why there were ear plugs in the room!) No convenience store close or grocery.

The location is great for the beach. The room has everything you need and more... beach chairs, umbrella, a yoga mat was great! The patio with the view on Ocean is great!

There is no one on the property. They respond through messaging but there isn’t anyone on site or tourist information available to guide you.

They provide beach chairs and yoga mats! These perks are greatly appreciated! Short walk to the beach.

A bit noisy for us oldies, but fun part of town away from the touristy strip.

Fun location very close to all the action and Sama a great restaurant on the beautiful beach nearby. Comfortable room.

Stayed in March 2025

The shower is super pretty and nice fixtures BUT the shower pressure goes away after 2 minutes, shower temp turns cold randomly and stays cold unless you mess with it a bit and the shower has no means to keep water going towards the drain, water will be all over the bathroom and pool behind the toilet. The street noise is insane (we stayed Sunday to Monday) so I wouldn’t recommend if you’re a light sleeper, have kids or need any type of quietness to sleep (the complimentary earplugs did not help BUT it was very nice of them to provide them anyways. They can’t control street noise)

Clean, modern room (room 2), quick walk to the beach and restaraunts. Nice little touches like complimentary beach chairs, hair dryer, coffee, water. Super easy check in and out.

It's not really a problem, but there is a step in the floor and you have to be careful not to fall

Room is comfortable Staff not present but reacting very fast on messages

The noise. I would recommend requesting not to stay in room 1 or 2 located on the street front of the building. There were extremely loud cars and even louder boom boxes along the street until the early hours of the morning (after 1am). It literally sounded like they had placed a large speaker directly outside our door. It is a popular area with a few restaurants and bars around, but we have never stayed anywhere so noisy. If you love to stay out all night this may not be a problem - we had an 8am flight so for us, not so great.

This was hard to rate. The room was great, very comfortable bed and lovely ambiance - we were very excited upon arrival. Communication with the staff was all via platform (never saw anyone) but the instructions and responsiveness was good. There was a country wide power-outage when we arrived and while the property doesn't have a generator, the staff were very gracious around how this might impact our stay if we needed to explore alternative options. There is no on-site parking but we were able to easily park on the streets around the accommodation. The room also had beach towels, sun chairs and an umbrella which was a delightful touch.

It was better than we expected

Great stop on our way to Vieques. The food truck area had a band a good food. The ST offered make your coffee in your room better than Americano across the street!!

The area around the place was very run down. The liquor store at the end of the street was a very busy local hangout. A little uncomfortable since I was a single woman with kids traveling!

Very close to beautiful beach. Breakfast spot across the street was delicious!

The location; it’s in front of a street and my room was in front too. The noise from outside

The decoration, smelling, the location in a way

Stayed in August 2024

I didn't mind the street noise because I am from the city.

The service was excellent. The owner even got my mother a taller beach chair. Communicating with the owner was very easy. The place was very clean.

No parking on-site, needed to find street parking. However, It was not hard to find a spot and had no issues with it being the street overnight.

Very clean, very quiet, right next to the beach and across the street from restaurants. Very friendly staff.

comfort / location

@ first your like .. What? Then you open the door.. super cute inside! Safe parking even though it looks shady-

Stayed in May 2024

Windows coverings had to remain in place as room was ground floor and looked out into the street and public areas. There are only overhead lights, no bedside lights for reading at night. Overall we really enjoyed it though-family of 4.

Room was clean and private. Easy to walk to the beach and restaurants across the street. Yoga mats and beach chairs were provided. Beds were comfortable. There is an outdoor shower right outside for rinsing sand off which was great. Had trouble initially with check in but was able to get help quickly with a phone call.

Stayed in April 2024

A little worn out (holes in towels, dirty curtains etc) and street parking was difficult.

Relatively clean and convenient location.

Stayed in April 2024

Area had cars driving by every night with music LOUD and motorcycles racing in front of building. All of that is no fault of the facility but was very disruptive trying to watch tv, talk, or sleep. It usually ends about 1:00 a.m.

Clean, good location.

Stayed in March 2024

Paid for a king size but it was 2 twins put together and they kept sliding apart after being laid on. Had to ask for towels/rags. Never received robes. Outdoor shower was freezing. AC was struggling to compete with humidity. Loud cars driving by at night because bar/liquor store but wasnt too bad.

Close location to the beach. Had a few good options for food/drinks that were right across the street. 2 beach chairs/yoga mats were provided. Privacy was good. Deck and outdoor shower was available. WiFi was good- smart TV allowed me to access my own subscriptions. Nice decor. Good price.

I think everything at the Surfing Turtle eas great. I didn't like the trash at the abandoned house next door. I really enjoyed everything else. One thing...the beach chairs probably should be trashed...ours were no longer useful.

Excellent Customer service. Lovely building and decor. Sadly, an abandoned home with trash is next door. Still, the actual accommodations are lovely. Comfy beds, great location to restaurants, beach, etc. Very loud area but hey...that's PR! The noise couldn't be controlled by Surfing Turtle. I'd definitely plan to stay again!

Stayed in February 2024

We had room 1 which is right in front and very loud because of the street.

That’s it’s on a cute street and close to the beach!

Stayed in February 2024

The noise outside was ridiculous. People felt the need to screech and zoom by in their souped-up cars, blasting their music until well after 3am. We were in the room closest to the street, so that might have exacerbated it. The manager DID offer to move us for the rest of our stay, but we decided to move on.

The hotel itself is fine. It's not posh or luxurious, but it is clean and reasonably comfortable. It's in walking distance of some tasty restaurants and the beach. It's not a resort beach with pristine sand, but I am a nature lover, so it was fine for me. Management tries to be as accommodating as he can, and the things I did not like are not his fault.
