The views are incredible! The staff was friendly and efficient. The food was pricey but delicious. We enjoyed relaxing on the beach and by the pool. There are a lot of maintenance issues to address. I will say however that we saw progress being made each day of our 6 day stay. More

I think this is a bit of a "marmite" hotel - you will love it or hate it. Good things: - Massive grounds, very safe for children, everything you need under one roof - Beautiful private island with its own ferry - Good restaurants and a disco, etc. - Great service culture and helpful staff - Cool stuff like a...

A good hotel has become a great hotel under the Waldorf banner. My family has gone to El Conquistador for many years before it was taken over by Waldorf. Frankly, before Waldorf took over, it had started to go downhill. The efforts by the Waldorf team truly show. The service was excellent!! The Golf Course and greens are in fabulous... More

I stayed at El Conquistador for a wedding in January. The grounds were gorgeous. Especially the private beach and pool areas. The restaurants were delicious but none authentically Puerto Rican, which was disappointing. But, the pizza place/restaurant by the pool had great, big salads. The only negatives worth mentioning are: 1) they really nickel and dime you for everything. Between... More

Charge to park even as a guest. Charge for towels. Waterpark extra charge. The worst of all was the shops inside the Hotel. Tropical Footprints was the absolute worst. After buying two pairs of nice pricey sandals, I bought my wife some thing. The lady who checked me out said if she didn't like them just bring them back -... More

The views are incredible. The staff amazing. And there is a great local village down the shore to walk for some authentic mofongo. More

A beautiful hotel, but if you are looking for authentic Puerto Rican cuisine, you need to go off the premises to local restaurants in the area. Ask the local cab drivers, and they will give great places to go. More

Contrary to some of the reviews I've read, we did not find too many negatives about this very large resort. We stayed at one of the units in the lower marina area. It was very well maintained and always spotless. We stayed 10 days and the only problem we had was they forgot to leave the coffee packets. We called... More

Huge property and looks fabulous! Very nice location and lobby. Until you get into a room. I think the person in charge of housekeeping needs to be fired! Moldy and dirty bathrooms! First of all the finishing inside is not so good and to add to this the cleanliness by the hotel staff is worse! The closet is inside the... More

We stayed at this resort for a work conference. From a ways away this facility is beautiful. When you get up close, the hotel needs some TLC. There were a lot of cosmetic issues. There was a lot of dirt on the outside of the buildings. There is a lot of caulk and grout that needs to be replaced. We... More
