This is a beautiful property with so much to do for families. I read some negative reviews and I’m surprised people were unhappy. I’m assuming it depends where your room was. We were in the marina near the waterpark and it was perfect. Palomino Island is great! I would definitely recommend it.

Food is average on a good day. Even though they seemed to have plenty of staff, service was generally slow at the restaurants. Do not select the breakfast buffet-not worth the $26/pp. The delays in getting your water and your check was absurd. The private island is okay—very crowded area as they have cut down on the space available to guests from several years ago. Resort itself is beautiful, but so are many resorts in the Caribbean. Not a value destination. If you have kids and adults who both want a break, good place because of the water park. Otherwise, not a good choice.

Beautiful Resort/ Poor Service

I recently stayed at the El Conquistador Resort, and while the property itself is stunning, my overall experience was underwhelming due to poor service and overpriced dining options. Let’s start with the positives: the location is absolutely breathtaking. Perched on a hill with incredible views of the ocean, it’s the perfect getaway spot. The resort offers a wide range of amenities, including a beautiful pool, private island access. You’ll never run out of things to do, and the natural beauty of the surroundings makes it all the more enjoyable. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing and didn’t match the quality of the setting. We didn't get into our room until 2 hours after check in time. There was numerous example of simple requests often required multiple follow-ups, and there was an overall lack of hospitality throughout the resort. It felt like the staff was overwhelmed or poorly trained, which negatively impacted the experience. The food was another major letdown. While there are several dining options on-site, the meals were both overpriced and underwhelming. For the premium prices charged, I expected much better quality, and better service. The resort fee (~$72/tax/day) was ridiculous steep for what I considered basic hotel services. it did not aniline include non motorized water sports, tennis/pickleball rentals, parking, or snorkeling rentals. El Conquistador has so much potential thanks to its beautiful location and excellent amenities.
