Employees were not communicative. No one told us how to use the self parking. Had to walk several times from the parking lot to the front desk. And they put us in the farthest room from everything even though the hotel was empty. Very disappointing experience. Save your money and stay at a regular hotel in town.

El Conquistador was definitely a great choice for our 2-night getaway in the beautiful East coast of Puerto Rico, As a born and raised Puerto Rican, I remember going to this resort as a kid and visiting this time around definitely gave me a bit of nostalgia because the essence of this resort is so well kept. I recommend staying at El Conquistador for about 3-4 nights making sure to stay at Las Vistas, as this would give you the proper experience and the time you need to enjoy all of the offerings of the resort. All of the food we had at the resort was delicious (special shoutout to the octopus arepa at the Palomino Island resort and Ventanas for their Mamposteao rice). We initially reserved a room at Las Brisas which definitely have the best ocean view, but unfortunately we could see that these rooms were outdated and some of the humidity signs were there. I believe the property could work on improving these rooms so everyone can have the proper luxury experience the resort offers. We moved rooms to Las Vistas and let me tell you, it was a DREAM. 360 degree change from our old room so I definitely recommend everyone to book these instead. The Palomino Island is a beautiful aspect of the resort and we enjoyed it very much. All areas around the resort including pools, hallways, grass spaces, golf courses are so well kept. The length of our stay definitely gave us the opportunity to have a taste of the amazing resort this property is without getting monotonous, will return!

Visiting the facilities and staying was wonderful experience since; the location of the hotel has an amazing view of the Caribbean site. There still work to improve hotel operation; but I was amazed to see the Dimond trophy at the lobby front desk. Congratulation to the staff for their achievement has a five-star hotel. God Bless America.

We enjoyed Palomino Island and the Waterpark. Palomino Island is definitely the best thing this hotel has. We did not like the fact that they still allow guests to smoke in all areas (We sat by the pool and there were people smoking all around us and same thing happened at Palomino Island) The self parking area is far from the resort and they charge a daily parking fee in addition to their high resort charges. Also, I don’t know what it was but the hall leading to our room smelled awful every single day we were there. We stayed in Las Brisas.
