I had a fantastic time at El Conquistador! The resort offers breathtaking views and an array of activities to keep everyone entertained. The rooms were modern and comfortable, but the dining options could use a bit of improvement. While the beach access via ferry was fun, planning your day around its hours is necessary.

Rooms
8.0
The rooms were modern, clean, and comfortable, with stunning views of the water. However, our particular room had low queen mattresses, which was a bit unusual.
Service
5.0
Service was inconsistent; while some staff were polite and accommodating, I faced challenges with waiting times in restaurants and delays in transportation arrangements.
Location
7.0
The location is unique, being set on a mountainside with a funicular to get around. However, the private beach closes early at 5 PM, which can limit beach time.
Dining
5.0
Dining was a mixed bag. While there were delicious options, the breakfast spot was too hot and uncomfortable, and I had a frustrating experience waiting too long for service.
Facilities
7.0
The resort boasts excellent facilities including multiple pools, a water park, and access to a private island for beach fun. However, the water park felt limited with only a few slides.
