My parents live next door, so there is someone available if you need assistance
or information. My dad, Andres, is a frustrated tourist guide, and will be happy to
tell you all there is about Puerto Rico and how to get around. He has a small farm with fruits and vegetables and loves to take folks down the mountain to get coconuts, bananas, papayas and many more delicious fruits. His wife is a superb cook, if you want to have a typical Puerto Rico dish. They are kind and helpful, not intrusive and are a source of security and comfort, as they know the town/Island. Cleaning/cooking services are available for a fee.

This magnificent house is located approximately 35 miles Northeast of San Juan, the Capital. As mentioned earlier, there are many activities close by: Boating, snorkeling, surfing, beaches, fishing, horse-back riding, golf, nature preserved trails, movies, dining, casinos, dancing, ferries to other islands, supermarkets and much more. This Luquillo “home” on mountains/hills is a perfect get away. Like they say, come to Puerto Rico, The Island of Enchantment.
We hope you chose to stay at Luquillo,
Take Good Care, Lydia & Julia
