Gorgeous view and beautiful golden sand at Playa Fortuna in Puerto Rico! #culture
We visited Luqillo beach after a morning hiking in El Yunque Rainforest. It was about 10 minutes or so from the rainforest and right off of the main road (super easy to get to). We went in the middle of a weekday and were excited to find the beach wasn't very busy. There are a lot of kiosks to buy food, snorkel masks, sunglasses, etc. but there are quiet areas too as we found here. The water was so clear, warm and calm. Pure bliss!
The most delicious Caribbean lobster with tostobes! If you are nearby this is a must go!

It was a nice resort, but needed some updating. The WiFi was pretty terrible and overall systems dated. You have to wear a watch like band to open your room door, but have to manually provide your room number and name for every drink or meal. Most bars ring you up every time you order a drink even ...
