Overview
Overlooking Atlantic and Caribbean waters from its clifftop perch on Puerto Rico's northeastern coast, El Conquistador Resort offers guests a balance of adventure and relaxation. Sun-worshippers can sprawl across Palomino Island's private sands thanks to El Conquistador's alliance with sister hotel Las Casitas Village (though some recent guests consider the brief ferry ride to get there an inconvenience). Those who don't wish to stray too far from their well-appointed guest room – adorned with bright tropical accents, a balcony or patio, a work desk and a flat-screen TV – can lounge by the main pool. Meanwhile, active guests can tee off at the Arthur Hills Golf Course or break a sweat in the 24-hour fitness center. After working up an appetite, travelers can sit for a meal at the snack bar or inside the lobby's Ultra Lounge at Bar 21. Additional dining options and amenities, including a water park and a spa, are expected to reopen after undergoing renovations to repair damage caused by Hurricane Maria. While some of the on-site facilities are closed for refurbishment, the property is waiving its daily resort fee. Plus, this Waldorf Astoria outpost's affiliation with the Hilton brand means Hilton Honors participants can earn or redeem points by choosing to stay here.

Critic Reviews
Few resorts in the Caribbean, let alone Puerto Rico, measure up to El Conquistador. ... You may never want to leave, and frankly you can have a great vacation without doing so: The resort sprawls across 500 acres of dramatic cliffs and down along a harbor area, overlooking the coast with an infinite view of water stretching out from all sides.
Perched on a bluff overlooking the ocean, this sprawling complex on the northern tip of the island is one of its most popular destination resorts. El Conquistador (The Conqueror) is arranged in five 'villages' with whitewashed buildings.
The 984-room El Conquistador, A Waldorf Astoria Resort is perched on a hillside overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, a 15-minute drive from Fajardo. ... Rooms are spacious and mostly modern, featuring flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and oceanview balconies in many.
