The 12-room, eco-friendly Turtle Bay Inn is an immaculate budget hotel set in a mostly residential area, walking distance to the village of La Parguera. The hotel has an inviting bright yellow exterior with a living vertical wall planted with ferns at the entrance, demonstrating the hotel's green policies. The side terrace -- with its colorful chairs, small pool, and walk-up bar -- is an ideal spot for an afternoon drink. Somewhat old-fashioned rooms with their dust ruffles and four-poster beds are pleasant and comfortable enough for crashing between daytime excursions and nighttime trips to the bioluminescent bays. If Turtle Bay is booked, travelers could try the neighboring Parador Villa Parguera, a country inn with similar rates.

This 74-room value hotel is the largest hotel in the mostly quiet fishing village of La Parguera. One of Puerto Rico's "paradors" (country inns), Parador Villa Parguera delivers laid-back, retro style and a beautiful pool overlooking the bay, but it is showing its age, especially in the guest rooms. It's ideally located for visitors wanting to be walking distance to local restaurants and close to the tour operators that provide excursions to the nearby bioluminescent bay and mangrove channels. Other paradors in the area, such as the Turtle Bay Inn, lack the waterfront location but are more intimate and tidy. Guests craving a property with a sandy beach will need to drive along the coast to Cabo Rojo to Parador Combate Beach.
