The outside property was beautiful, but the inside rooms need some TLC. A dirty sink, a dirty picture hanging on the wall in the bathroom, the beds are dusty on top, and the balcony needs to be cleaned or painted.

This is honestly one of the most beautiful resorts I’ve ever been. To start, the views are breathtaking, all around the facilities are well kept, the staff is friendly and helpful. Our room was super clean and it seemed remodeled not long ago. The food options are plenty and every where you go there’s a place you can eat or drink. We really LOVED that they have their own island (Palomino Island) the beach is beautiful. We can’t wait to go back someday soon!!

I wish I could upload pictures and videos. They claim they closed for 3 years to remodel.... Well they forgot the guest rooms. The most important part to me is where I'm laying my head and wash room. I ran away and even didn't care that they didn't reimburse me for the 1st night. Thankfully I booked through Expedia which is where I book all my flights and hotels. So they reimbursed me me what the hotel wouldn't.

Our stay at El Conquistador was nothing short of spectacular. Every employee we encountered from the front desk, to the valet, to the servers on Palomino Island (Erwin!), to the spa personnel, to the restaurant staff were friendly, professional and efficient. The hotel and grounds were meticulously maintained and our room was beautiful. I highly recommend this property, we have already booked again for next year.

If Cruise Ships could dock on the side of a hill this would be considered one. No room service. No basic items in the Suite’s kitchen. Bugs crawling under the doors. Below average food. The only nice thing is the drinks and view.

We loved the family atmosphere of El Conquistador resort. We have a 14 and 17 year old and felt comfortable having them navigate the resort together without us. We had two unpleasant experiences. First, the beds were the most uncomfortable beds we've ever slept on. Sleeping on them for a week was horrible. Second, about 5 days into our 7 day stay a conference came to stay full of hundreds of 20 something year olds. This really took away from the 'family resort' atmosphere as there was constant drinking and loud noises at all hours of the night. From moving patio furniture at 3 am to yelling loudly to playing loud music, it made the last few nights unpleasant.
