The hotel facilities are splendid and well kept, except the rooms, which are showing signs of age. Room maintenance also lags the rest of the property, with some visible rust and mold marks around the bathroom, and worn out linens and towels. The beach (private island) is a paradise, as is the ferry ride there - out of this world!... more

The El Conquistador is a beautiful resort, located in a beautiful setting. Our room (two queen size beds, by the marina) was plenty spacious for our family, although we spent little time in it. The room was clean, bright and welcoming, and we enjoyed our view of the marina and the ocean. The service ranged from good to excellent --... more

El Conquistador sits atop a 300 foot bluff and most of the property overlooks the eastern shores of Puerto Rico. Our honeymoon started with the 60 minute coach ride from the airport to Fajardo, home to the resort. Check-in was quick and easy, and our room was upgraded to an ocean-front room at the marina level. The room was large,... more

I conduct destination business in Mexico and the Caribbean. I had high expectations for El Conquistador, but they didn't come close to meeting them. When I heard they became a member of the Waldorf Astoria Collection, again I had high hopes but was greatly disappointed. My guests had numerous problems with check-in. Their rooms were missing basic essentials and when... more

This place is very very large. There are rooms where you have to a tram to get to. If you get one of the refurbished rooms, you will be very pleased. The newer rooms are very nice. Spacious bathrooms. Nice shopping right there on the property and the view are breathtaking! What I did not like were the hidden cost... more

Stayed at the El Conquistador for five days in June as part of high school baseball team trip to play local PR teams. The grounds are beautiful, the rooms are okay. But everything there is designed to separate you from your money. Wireless internet is only available in the immediate vicinity of their Starbucks, but no where else. Their private... more

I'm a local, and my wife and I truly needed a break, so we decided to stay at El Conquistador, which is a 4-hr drive from where we reside in Puerto Rico, with our two children (4,9). Facility-wise, we knew what we were getting into, since we had visited the facility many times in the past. We had heard horror... more

Normally I do a great job researching our vacations. This one we did more based on the impression of friends...apparently we have different requirements for a great vacation. We went to Puerto Rico pretty much to stay here, and did a few other things along the way. The previous Spring we spent in Costa Rica for LESS money and did... more

The rooms are o.k., little bit tiny. No coffee maker in the room, no free water in the lobby, the mattrass is of poor quality, the towels smell. It was loud, the buses idle, the lawn is taken care of in the morning ( 6 am), Party in the night. Food is totally overpriced and actually of very poor quality.... more
