I stayed 2 nights at the Luquillo Beach Sunrise Hotel with my boyfriend and another couple. This hotel is an excellent value. You have a wonderful view of the surfer's beach with nice balconies and a very pleasant room. The hotel itself is located across the street from the beach. The neighborhood surrounding it is a little shabby and poor, but the security at the hotel is fine, so I felt perfectly safe. The beds were comfortable, but made a lot of loud, squeaky noises whenver someone moved (I think it was the hardwood platform for the bed).
They serve both a continental breakfast (lots of coffee, fruit and breads), as well as a cooked special every morning. This is very pleasant because it is out on their patio overlooking the ocean. They have a public area with lots of information about things to do in the area, as well as a computer with internet access that you can use at no charge. You sometimes had to wait in line while another guest checked the basketball scores back home, but it was nice to have that easy access.
This hotel is ideally located if you want to explore El Yunque and Luquillo beach. We ate at a lovely restaurant at the nearby food kiosks that the staff at the hotel recommended. Go to kiosk #2 (La Parilla). It is a sit down restaurant with a view of the beach with great food (more upscale than the other kiosks). We enjoyed the wait staff there because they were so enthusiastic about describing the food. They had great seafood specials and had many traditional Puerto Rican dishes, like mofongo (mashed plantains) and rice and beans. I highly recommend it.
