Love the pool areas, the palomino private beach and the coqui waterpark. I was disappointed on the rooms not being accessible for disable people. I booked a handicap room with rolling shower and they gave me a handy cap room but the bathroom had a big tub. They change my room and the second room was also with a tub. Even for a regular person that tub is too high to get into. The supervisor was very dismissive but after going back and forward to make sure my Mom had a room with a rolling shower I had to settle for a room with a small shower. Definitely not happy with the supposedly handy cap rooms.

I recently stayed at El Conquistador Resort and, overall, my experience was just okay far from what I expected given the high prices and added taxes. The room was a disappointment. The bathroom felt outdated, like something straight out of the 1980s. The bathtub was chipped, the sink had almost no water pressure, and the soap dispenser was broken. The bed was uncomfortable, and the air conditioner had very low power the room got hot at night, almost as if the A/C turned off. Noise was another big issue the room had no soundproofing, so we could hear every person walking by and every footstep from the kids running in the room above us. It made it really hard to relax or sleep. Dining was another letdown. The food options were very limited. The few restaurants on-site were always packed and required reservations if you didn’t book ahead, you’d be stuck eating between 9–10 p.m. My husband even got food poisoning after eating a white egg sandwich, which was concerning. Housekeeping didn’t meet expectations either. Trash was left behind and the coffee machine was still dirty after cleaning. For a resort of this price range, that’s just not acceptable. The water park continues to be fun — it’s

When we first arrived, our room was leaking water in the bathroom and hallway. Were changed to another room. The resort was far away from everything, we had to travel by boat to the beach. When I ordered Ocean View, thought we were on the beach, not viewing the pier where the bots docked. Very disappointing birthday trip, thought the resort was on the beach. Had to rent a car to go anywhere.
