Located along a wavy stretch of beach Luquillo Sunrise Beach Inn is a very pleasant hotel with a friendly staff, spacious rooms, most with a balcony and a few extra amenities such as free use of beach chairs and towels. The beach out front is very nice, especially as the hotel does its best to keep it trash-free. It is frequented by surfers since there isn't a reef to break the waves.
