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!

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.

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!

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!

The rooms were extremely noisy. Very loud music from two bars up the street flows through the single paned jalousie windows till 2 am. Also, a steady stream of very loud motorcycles and cars cruise past till a bit later. Right on the main drag.
