Luquillo Sunrise Beach Inn

This review is so overdue, I’m embarrassed. My husband and I stayed here for our tenth wedding anniversary. For my husband, it was an introduction to the island and the people I grew up with. The town is a bit more run down than I remembered as a kid, but the people (ah, my people) are still just as warm and friendly. The hotel staff reflected this warmth, always helpful and available to answer questions. The rooms, were clean and cozy, though they’ll not win any HGTV design contests, but who cares about décor, when every room in the place faces the ocean? Get that? EVERY_​ROOM _​HAS _​AN _​OCEAN_​VIEW! Being close to the Luquillo Beach Food Quiosks (yum!), and El Yunque, was a plus. Not too far or too close to Old San Juan. The price was not only worth it, but also easy on the wallet.
Breakfast was breakfast. Nothing too fancy, but still delicious and served with a warm smile and sometimes friendly conversation. I wish they’d splurge on a waffle machine, though. It would kick their waffle days up a notch, in accompaniment with a variety of local fruits. Not complaining, just suggesting.
To the staff: We can’t thank you enough for making our stay (and milestone anniversary) such a pleasant and relaxing one. It was nice to feel at home again… and my husband will never forget this experience. THANK YOU!

The hotel is located right across from La Pared (great surfing beach). The owners and staff are very pleasant and the accommodations are clean and comfortable. The hotel offers a delicious complimentary breakfast (including a made to order hot breakfast option that changes every day) and many items for your daily use including: beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkeling equipment! The staff has wonderful suggestions of where to go locally for food/​beach/​attractions. The property is gated for added piece of mind. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in Luquillo, we had a fantastic experience during our stay!

AWESOME AWESOME inn. This inn is right on the beach. The best part of the hotel is the continental breakfast it starts at 7:30 and goes until 10:30. Every day they make a different hot breakfast special!
I recommend this place to anyone family or couple.

I can’t say enough about this place! It reminds me of a little beachside motel from the 50’s but has the customer service of a 5 star Ritz Carlton.
It is directly across the street from the beach. The beach is a surfer beach and not suitable to swimming without a board of some kind. The currents are wicked and not to messed with. To get to a swimming beach you literally only need to walk west (turn left out of the hotel) 5 minutes and you have a lovely calmer area. This is a locals area but everyone is super nice. No need to scared or anything. Just use common sense and don’t take valuables to the beach. You shouldn’t do that type of stuff in Miami Beach either though!
The free breakfast every morning is absolutely amazing. Cooked to order daily specials and a very nice continental breakfast of you don’t dig what the special is. The waffles you can make yourself are also very yummy. Katie was so freaking amazing and helpful it was beyond ridiculous.
I would 100% stay here again or recommend to anybody. I stay in hotels all over the world and this is top of my list for pure homey feel and the lovely staff.

Loved this quint little hotel! From the friendly staff who always greeted us by name, to the clean and spacious rooms that had such a breathtaking view, to the delicious complimentary coconut French toast this hotel made us feel like we were at a resort! Will definitely make this our stay when we return to this part of the island!

Friendly place right across from the beach in Luquillo
great staff very friendly and offering up information of local areas to go
they serve a great breakfast on the deck
oh and being able to open the door with the sound of the waves crashing outside is great
while the town may have a few issues, the people in this area are friendly
while there is not a bar per se on the premises about a block away is a friendly little bar/​grill with great food an drink We called it our lobby bar :)

My husband and I stayed here for one leg of our honeymoon in PR and loved it! The hotel itself, while not a 5-​star establishment by any means, provided us with such a fun time right across the street from the best beaches in Luquillo. The service was absolutely unsurpassed, and the office manager we worked with was so quick to provide suggestions and help if needed. We spent the two days there in room 16, which is a room separate from the rest of the building and has its own rooftop terrace. The room was very nice with great AC (it was over 90 every day!) and we loved the ability to get right to the beach in a matter of seconds. They also provide a basic but delicious little continental breakfast included in the price of your stay (we didn’t stay for the hot food that was served a little later in the morning, but heard it was also good). I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if I’m ever in Luquillo — highly recommended to anyone looking for a simple but comfortable and clean place to stay while beach-​hopping around town.

Friends and I stayed here for three of our four nights in Puerto Rico. The property sits right across the street from the beach with a gated parking lot and key access to the property for guests. The location is within a fifteen-​minute drive of Fajardo and El Yunque National Rainforest, and the staff was very helpful with suggestions of places to swim, eat and go for various activities. You can rent snorkel gear from the hotel, but be aware that the local reefs are somewhat dangerous to swim on — you will be better off on a boat tour.
We found the staff to be very pleasant and helpful; I had accidentally booked a second room in the process of trying to change my reservation, and once the situation was explained the manager refunded all charges for it. The on-​site breakfasts are great (we had criolle sandwiches, veggie omelets and coconut-​stuffed French toast) and the open-​air dining space is a great place to hang out throughout the day. Our room was well-​situated and we had no complaints on any of the amenities. Overall we felt that this hotel was a great value for the money compared to other options in San Juan and Fajardo.
Things to be aware of: most of the rooms sit above the ground floor and there is no elevator, so make sure to request a room that works for your mobility. Also, call the hotel directly to make any changes to your reservation.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Puerto Rico who wants more than the «all-​inclusive» resort/​casino experience. This is a great base of operations for those who want to surf, kayak, and hike their way through their vacation. We will definitely be coming back!

Its the best around here. If you are a surfer this is it.

Well this certainly is a nice bed and breakfast style inn. My brother and I were desperate to find someplace to stay for the night that wasn’t a seedy motel, and that place wound up being the Sunrise Beach Inn. They are located right across the street from the beach so the view from your room is excellent. The rooms are a decent size but the bathrooms are a bit small. Our room did not have a mini fridge as mentioned in a previous review. The beds were comfy and most of their good rating comes from this place being the first night of good rest I had since arriving in Puerto Rico. The breakfast in the morning consisted entirely of sugary pastries and other sweet things, which tend to make me sick if I consume them too early in the day. I was not quite enthralled with the coconut french toast they served the morning we were there. It really is a bit pricey for what it is, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

Very nice place! The people were very friendly and the rooms are very clean. The location is great as it is right on the beach. There are plenty of food places and grocery stores very close by. The breakfast in the morning is good as well. Overall, this is a nice place and I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

The only reason not to stay here is if you are looking for a resort experience. If that’s the case, excuse me while I judge you (sorry, I’m not sorry). It’s true that Luquillo looks rundown, but in my experience that’s everywhere in Puerto Rico outside of San Juan and the resort areas and it just adds to the character. None of this makes the people any less happy or friendly. My wife and I spent two nights and walked to dinner in the surrounding neighborhoods both times and felt perfectly safe. Just like anywhere else in the world, use common sense.
The hotel is great, situated right across the street from a nice surf spot, La Pared. If you want a beach view, make sure to request a room on the 2^nd or 3^rd floors when making your reservation. All those rooms come with a private balcony too, which was a great place to sit outside in the evening and enjoy the sound of the surf. The rooms also come with a mini-​fridge, so stock up on your own Medalla or buy it from the front desk. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, for example we were here over Thanksgiving and they called around to make a list of places that were open for dinner.
As others have mentioned, it is on the pricey side, but where else are you going to find a beach-​front view for $ 150/​night?

I’m rating this based on the Luquillo area and what is available around there. I loved this place for its cleanliness, location, and staff.
The room was neatly clean and had a very comfortable bed.
It is right in front of the beach and close enough to the «kioskos» where you can find lots of food and drinks. It is also near El Yunque national park.
The staff was courteous and attentive. Be aware this is no resort, but great choice for the area.
A bit on the pricey side in my opinion, but if you are not in a budget, it is great.

Bed and breakfast was cute and quaint. Room was nicely sized with a queen bed. The water in the shower went from hot to cold to hot back to cold and was never consistent.
I would’ve given the Inn 4 stars, however, the area is extremely rundown. The only thing to do in Luquillo is go to the beach that has very little beach and we were told not to get in the water because the waves are too rough.
We were told by a local tour guide to be safe because the neighborhood looked very rough, this was very unsettling.

What a great place! Good food, right on the beach, clean rooms with AC, good shower pressure, the list goes on. It’s an easy walk to restaurants and night life. Highly recommend.

We stayed here one night while on the island and it was as described by other reviewers. Not modern but has everything you need, clean and wonderful view and good location. No elevator and stayed on third floor but that did not bother us. Will stay here again if in the area. Breakfast was amazing! We stayed at a good time because Sunday morning was stuffed coconut french toast!

Stayed here for 3 nights before the a cruise and had a fantastic time. Great location to activities and awesome beach front. Super breakfast each morning but best of the all the staff was Fabulous. Will definitely use this for future travel to Puerto Rico!

The staff makes this great little hotel fantastic. Wonderful, friendly, sweet and soooooo helpful. Great views, nice beach to surf or bodyboard. Very clean and comfy.

This little bed and breakfast is great! The staff is wonderful and friendly and the rooms are clean and pretty (and most importantly air conditioned!). The staff were very knowledgeable about Luquillo and the surrounding islands, and pointed us towards some great restaurants like El Rincon del Sabor and Pasta y Pueblo.
It’s right on the beach and has great views from the room. We had a great time snorkeling and catching some sun. I can’t plug this place enough!
My boyfriend and I loved our stay, and if we ever visit PR again, we’ll definitely be staying here.

Nice place to stay. The service is great and the warm breakfast was delicious. They had «tropical» pancakes the day we were there. They rent out chairs and beach towels for free. The room was nice, but the TV was crappy. Who cares though? You’re there for the beach. Right in front of the hotel is a surfing beach– they tell you not to go in if you don’t see locals (non-​surfers) swimming. Large waves and riptides are typical. You can walk 2 minutes down the beach to an area protected by reef and have a much better swim area. The town is a bit dumpy but has a couple of restaurants and a great bakery called La Exquisite or something like that. The Luquillo kiosks are right down the road. This hotel also has some nice hammock chairs on a big deck, a computer with Internet, and a small covered parking area. I felt very safe in Luquillo and had a fun time walking around. Paid $ 148 a night (includes tax) for a room with double beds in low season.
