"Legacy reputation for quality lacking ....."
My wife ran conferences here in the mid-90's and wanted to return for a long time, so took the family. Hotel is VERY tired and needs basic up-dating. Plastic couches in rooms not so nice, A/C that barely worked, and friendly service, but very SLOW especially at restaurants that basically are microwaving the lunch ! No room service 2 days and elevators […] under repair. Eat down at the Marina for lunch and Chinese restaurant decent. Would not recommend.. Sorry ElCon. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

great service and one of the best hotel in PRGenuine Hotels.com guest review
WAS NOT IMPRESSED WITH THE FRONT DESK PERSONNEL. THEY WERE TALKING AMONGST THEMSELVES WHILE CHECKING ME IN, WOULD ASK ME A QUESTION THEN TURN AROUND AND CONTINUE WITH THEIR PERSONAL CONVERSATION. CASINO WAS NO LONGER THERE. NOTHING TO DO AT NIGHT EXCEPT EAT DINNER.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Just Terrific!"
This gorgeous hotel and property has it all! We stayed down by the marina in Las Casonas area so we were right next to water park, which my son loved. The room was clean and spacious with vaulted ceilings. It never felt too crowded even on the weekend, everyone was pleasant and friendly. The free ferry to Palomino island is a huge plus, we went every […] day and stayed all day. The beaches are beautiful, there is ample seating and shade. Take a hike around to the quieter beaches--some clothing optional. The Iguanas Cafe has the best fish and chips! If you stay at Los Olas or down by the marina you are pretty well isolated from the lobby so be prepared to be efficient and also consider a porter for your things. That said, there are restaurants and bars and shops on the bottom top levels so you do not feel stranded. Onsite food and drinks were good but $$$, considering walking toward the condos (Marina Lanais) and going into the village of Las Croabas, about 1/4 mile on a paved road. We ate at several local restaurants that had great food, music and drinks for $. Best to walk during the day or with a flashlight in the early evening, but not too late at night. Self parking was too far away and $15 night was a bit ridiculous for the inconvenience, but overall that was minor in our stay. Beware they do charge $150 per night deposit on cc.

"Beautiful views with OKAY hotel stay"
The cleanliness of our room was poor. Our expectations were set pretty high after looking at website pictures etc and we were left disappointed. The pool area and lounging chairs could also use an update/clean up. Our favorite thing about El Conquistador was our trip to Palomino Island which included various activities and beautiful beaches.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Awesome views... okay hotel"
I would expect more from a 4 Diamond Resort. Our rooms had stains on the carpets, mold in the bathrooms (on shower curtain and grout), and the overall appearance was "shabby". The grounds were incredible and the views spectacular! Enjoyed the stay, but would have preferred a cleaner room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Very nice resort"
Beautiful place. Food in the restaurants not so good, but convenient. The funicular is somewhat annoying to have to wait for and our room turned out to be about the farthest room low down by the marina, not very deisrable. Would be better to stay up near the main hotel. Much more convenient. The island Palomino was great and had a lot of activities […] for the kids. Food ok there, but generally bar food. My son loved the trails and hunting for different kinds of lizards. snorkeling was nice and water was crystal clear. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Beautiful Ocean Views"
The resort is beautiful with lush landscaping and magnificent ocean views. However, they need to update the rooms and the hallways which are VERY outdated. I expected a luxury room since this is a Waldorf-Astoria hotel and was very disappointed upon my arrival. I enjoyed my vacation but will not return to Puerto Rico.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"One of the Best family vacation with 2 yrs old"
Very nice and well build/maintain hotel. i heard you should know little bit of Spanish when traveling to puerto rico but found most of the staff/ hotel, you can speak English. ( i know only few words in Spanish). Food is good (but not grate). I was traveling with my 2 year old, and she really enjoyed the stay (specially pool and Jacuzzi ).They have […] activities for the kids to keep them engage. Only disadvantage is its around 1 hr drive from San Juan airport. Hotel has its own pick up and drop facility which cost around 75-79 $. but it is timely basis and runs every 2 hrs i guess. i did the private cab which cost 85-90 bugs. All other activities ( scuba snorkeling jet skiing and bio luminous bay with kayak /motor boat is near by hotel. ) so i didn't spend much on renting car. They also have enterprise counter in hotel so you can pick up car at hotel it self. and private beach(palomino ) was one of the best. not crowded so you can relax as well as enjoy your stay in hotel. Hope you have best trip. Enjoy !!! Graciyas Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"An experience"
Puerto Rico is a beautiful island. The hotel and it's facilities were very nice as well. We were disappointed with the limited amount of service; I.e. pool waiters, beach waiters. All in all it was culturally interesting - the local foods and establishments were fun. Not a fancy place, hotel restaurants overpriced.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

El Conquistador is the best place to stay and be pampered. Their staff has to be one of the friendliest and eager to please. The views are breathtaking!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Needs updating but nice scenery"
The hotel rooms need updating and bigger/newer TV's. Its almost 2012 thus its a disgrace for a major resort to have 20" TV's and outdated furniture. Restaurants have Manhattan pricing without Manhattan vibe and close too early. Casino is a joke, 1 roulette table and no craps. Only 1 "Funicular" running is a disgrace also. Pros: great water park & view. […] Bring a lot of money and don't spend too much time in the room. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The hotel and ammenities were great. I would recommend. However, the only thing I disliked is the long time it takes to check-in and check-out. For example, 11am is checkout time, so have more staff availavle to move the line in the lobby at that time. This is the second time I have gone to this hotel, and each time spent more than half hour in line […] for checkin and checkout. This is the worst thing about this hotel. Other than that, I think you will love it...No other complaints,,,Expensive, but well worth the money... Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Fabulous hotel1"
The hotel grounds were beautiful on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. The private island was easily accessible by boat, was gorgeous, offered horseback riding, water sports, plenty of snorkeling. The service we received in all parts of the hotel was outstanding! We felt like royalty. They went out of their way to make us happy. The hotel's location […] is very near a small fishing village where you can go to eat if you want to taste local cuisine. It is a short drive from the rain forest, Luquillo beach, and bio lagoon. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this hotel. We would definitely return. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Our Stay at El Conquistador"
This was my first time out to Fajardo, the town El Conquistador is in. It was only a 45 minute drive from San Juan. It was a top quality experience during our 5 night stay. My 4 year old daughter had a blast at the private beach island and the Coqui Water park. We will definitely stay there again soon.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Check in experience and self parking"
The check in experience was a little dessapointing because we were very tire and when they gave us the room was two hours later. I was in the parking lot around 1/2 hour trying to find a spot. But any ways the hotel is awesome and I spent great quality time with my familiy. Another observation, the hotel was very very crowded and I can understand that […] we have to be pacient but honestly the managers adm. of the hotel must consider to build another way to go from the lobby to la marina, like another two funiculars or a safty stairs because the wating time to get in the funiculars sometimes was around 45 minutes and I think is to much time specially when you are in vacations when you wants to be relax and having fun. Some foods inside the hotel are very expensive. But overall still a great place to go with the familiy and I'm plannig to return again in november. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"El Conquistador, my favorite resort"
I have been coming to this hotel for over 10 years, even before it was owned by Waldorf Astoria. I love the location overlooking the ocean and the private beach. It has a wide selection of restaurants, several pools, a mini water park, golf course, spa, child care, stores, miniature golf, water sports, horse back riding, and more. Service was great. […] My only complain was that there was a leak on the bathtub every time we took showers, and an occasional ceiling leak by the main entrance to the room. Overall, we had a great time.

The hotel has spectacular ocean views and rooms are Spacious and clean. The two things I think need to be improve. The food is very expensive and quality is not at par with price.

Hotel facilities met all my expectations. The only problem was confronted in the valet parking. The service is lousy and report the complaint to the counter told me that the parking facilities were independent.
