Luquillo Sunrise Beach Inn

Top choice in El Yunque & East Coast


The 17 ocean-facing rooms at this friendly, family-run hotel are simple but light, bright and comfortable. Ask for an upper-floor room with balcony overlooking the golden sweep of Playa La Pared and the stunning sunrise. It rents out bodyboards and beach chairs. Luquillo Plaza is a five-minute walk away and the famous balneario is a 30-minute stroll.
