The grounds are absolutely beautiful… but rooms and service need attention. The rooms are a bit outdated… lamps have rust, glass doors to balcony are creaky, and bathroom granite is stained. Need to add drink and food service at Pool areas and at Palomino. Also need entertainment. Smores night was advertised and not available our whole stay. Entertainment in the lobby is minimal. For such a beautiful large resort you would think there’s more to do. Also need to increase service to and from self parking. The same couple of guys are taking you back and forth and also doing check ins. A smile and a good morning also goes a long way when there isn’t much to offer at the property… staff doesn’t seem too enthused and for the price you pay… all I can say is it is beautiful to look at.

Clean with great views of the sea and such an impressive property. Just which it could have more puerorican traditional theme for the property just like Xcaret Hotel has in Mexico. That could make the El Conquistador a true Puerto Rico’s main hotel.

Every single staff member that we encountered was so nice and so helpful - from front desk, valets, servers - everyone. We had an AC issue with our room the first night and Lillian at the front desk remedied it immediately. The room was comfortable and very clean. While there were a lot of restaurant options and we tried many of them, we didn't love any of the food. We tried casual fare to their fine dining and it was just okay. That's my only "negative" feedback - but we absolutely loved the hotel and amenities and cleanliness!! We would return

We had an amazing time at the resort. The amenities and property were far beyond our expectations . The property website does not accurately showcase how beautiful and large it is. We ate at 3 restaurants for lunch, the main pool, island and the marina. The service was slow but food was excellent, a bit pricey. the staff were very friendly especially all of the bartending staff. They offered great suggestions for dinner off the property all of which were excellent. We rented a car which allowed us easy access to nearby towns of Farjedo, Luquillo and Las Grabas, all 5-15 min away. We drove to El Yunque National Forest which was also easy to navigate to in about 40 minutes . The resort is absolutely huge and we found it to be unusually quiet and seemed to not be at full occupancy. Some of the staff mentioned it was an off week between US and PR spring break which was lucky for us. We never had trouble finding a chair by the pool , at the beach or the water parks. The fitness center is small but clean and had enough to get in a quick work out. We were there with our 2 adult children but saw many families with younger kids and saw lots of activities geared toward that demographic but don’t let it deter you from spending a quiet relaxing week there. My husband and sons were planning to play golf at the course despite the very expensive fee but decided against it due to the extreme difficulty level of the course and windy conditions when we were there. Highly recommend!
