Loved this secure family/handicap friendly resort with excellent food and service! The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The only negative is that check in is at 4pm and even though we checked in earlier in the day, our room wasn’t ready until 5pm. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating.

Showers could definitely be updated. I’d give the actual shower a 1.5 rating. A drink package would be nice. Basic frozen drinks were super expensive. A kids frozen drink was outrageous considering they contain zero alcohol. Food and drink prices were much too high! The resort itself, it was amazing! The staff was great, desert was great, views were great but would have loved to have stayed on property for more meals but you could leave the resort and pay less for a nicer meal.

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 The rooms are a bit outdated… lamps have rust, glass doors to balcony are creaky, and bathroom granite is stained.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.
