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.

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.

2/10 Poor

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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!

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 ❤️
