"We had a very nice Spring Break stay at El Conquistador. The property sits in a spectacular location with beautiful ocean views and access to a private island beach that was one of the highlights of our trip.
The resort shows some of its age in places, especially for those who remember it from its Waldorf Astoria days. Everything was clean and comfortable, though some areas could benefit from updating, and a few amenities were unavailable during our visit. The staff was friendly, and we had an outstanding meal at the Puerto Rican restaurant—easily one of the best experiences on the property.
Families will likely have a great time here, especially with the pools, beach, and activities. Just be prepared for some lines when taking the boat to the island beach and for a fair amount of walking or riding between different sections of the resort.
One pleasant surprise was the golf course. I’m not a golfer, but even I could tell it looked spectacular. The setting alone makes me want to come back and give it a try someday.
Overall, El Conquistador is a very good family resort in a beautiful setting. It may not feel quite as polished as it once did, but it still offers a memorable Puerto Rico vacation experience."
