Pros:

Me quedé con unas amigas en una habitación para 3 personas, hay letreros de no apagar el aire para que la pieza no se humedezca, está cerca de restaurantes bonitos y de comida deliciosa.

Greatest vacation of our lives
Pros:

My family and I absolutely love this place. We will definitely be back.

To start, the concierge / person that helped us get the place (Damaris) is an exceptional woman and an angel sent from heaven. If I could meet her in person, I'd give her a big hug. She has helped us with everything we need.

About the Surfing Turtle. This place is beautiful, cozy, great for family or just to relax, by yourself.
It has everything you need, all the way up to Q-tips. Take note, there is no washer and dryer but there is a luindry facility, literally two minutes away.

The Surfing Turtle is right in the middle of everything we scheduled to do. It's in walking distance from the beach, 16 minutes from Fajardo, where we did the Catamaran, snorkeling tour. 10 minutes from the kiosk of Luquillo, which has more beautiful beach access and a ton of kiosks and restaurants to choose from and souvenir shops.
If you love the rainforest, like me, you're 7 minutes from the entrance road to El Yunque.
When I say you're in the middle of all the great things Puerto Rico has to offer, I mean it.
I know anyone that stays here will enjoy as my family and I have.
We are Greatfull!

Cons:

That I wasn't able to meet Miss Damaris, in person, to give her a hug of gratitude and thank her personally. But God has blessed us and I know he has passed it on in spirit!

Cons:

A LOT of street noise at night, but certainly not the fault of the property.

Great place right on the beach! Walk to everywhere and good food nearby.
Pros:

The neighborhood seemed sketchy but inside our room it was perfect. Clean and comfortable bed and linens. Nice bathroom with good shower.

Cons:

ALL the bed pillows were huge and puffy. A small person cannot get comfortable with a huge overstuffed pillow!

Great facilities and location.
Pros:

Great location, great facilities. Nice small touches in the room. Coffee and beach chairs were a nice surprise

Cons:

Very, very noisy. Right in the thick of the strip. Loud music and boy racers driving past all night, every night. We had a great time here regardless, but don’t expect to get any sleep. Earplugs were provided by the hosts to ease the pain.

Pros:

La posizione.
C’è una bella terrazza dove poter bere un caffè o rilassarsi alla sera.
Pulizia

Cons:

Poca recettivita’ da parte della proprietaria , alias risposte poco tempestive alle domande/richieste fatte . Stanza troppo umida per le mie esigenze : non si può’ mai spegnere l’aria condizionata altrimenti muri e pareti si bagnano e c’è anche un odore poco gradevole nonostante ci siano profumatori per ambienti sia in camera che in bagno. La nostra stanza era abbastanza nuova e completa di tutto ma molto piccola se penso al prezzo pagato.
