Definitely wasn’t ready for this amazing resort. Spectacular service and employees, amazing amenities, and quality food. The ferry to Palomino island included with your stay offers fantastic beaches, food and drinks. Be ready to spend for food and drinks, but worth every penny.

Enjoyable stay at El Conquistador Resort

I was a bit concerned when we arrived after the 4pm check in time and were told our room was not ready yet. The desk clerk was very helpful directing us where we could store our bags as we waited. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. The private island experience was wonderful! The ferry was reliable and the staff on the boat & island were terrific. The restaurants were busy but managed to find room for us. The food was delicious. The pools and pool area were very clean. We stayed in the marina and although it took time getting to the main resort area from our room we were glad to be in that area of the resort. The day that one of the funicula trams wasn’t working made the wait a bit longer but the repair was completed quickly.

Property has nice scenic views. Staff is very friendly and courteous. Only thing is that it’s far from the airport. If you are going to stay in the resort throughout, then you are fine. But if you are going to venture out of the resort to major attractions, then be ready to pay at least $60 and up( one way fare) Food is pretty expensive in the resort and there are no microwaves to heat up left overs. Internet is terrible there, I had better network in the rainforest excursion I did.

Overall it is a very beautiful and clean resort. Our room had an ocean view and was very clean and modern. The pools were nice and the private island was very cool and easy to get too via the boat. The water park was also fun to spend a day doing. The layout was also very cool and unique. Essentially half the resort is located on top of a cliff and the other half is at the bottom which you access via an enclosed gondola of sorts. All of which has stunning ocean views. Everywhere you looked was amazing ocean cliff views which made for awesome photos. Here is what we didn't like. Essentially because of the location (an hour from the airport) you are forced to eat and spend most of your time on the resort. This wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for the very expensive prices and slow service. There are a lot of food choices on the resort, several sit down places, desert places, smoothie store, cafe and market to name a few. Most of which are all inclusive resort food quality but with the prices of fine dining. Our first night there we went to the taco bar by the pool, we both ordered the steak tacos which didn't come with anything and 1 frozen drink each. In total we spent over $70 and it took around an hour for a meal that was tiny and left us still hungry. After being there just 2.5 days we spent over $900 just on food, drinks and resort fees/tax for 2 people. $125 of which was us renting a bungalow on the island because all the beach chairs were taken when we got there.
