Puerto Rico's most dramatic resort — a 750-room Hilton property perched on a 300-foot cliff above the northeast coast, with a private island (Palomino Island) accessible by ferry, a full marina, a casino, multiple pools, and the island's most comprehensive resort complex.
Why We Chose It
El Conquistador is Puerto Rico's most legendary resort — a vast complex on a 300-foot cliff above Las Croabas on the northeast coast, with views over the Spanish Virgin Islands and direct access to Palomino Island, a private island with beaches reserved for resort guests. The resort encompasses multiple village-style sections, six pools, a full-service casino, a marina with water sports, several restaurants, and the Golden Door Spa. The sheer scale and drama of the setting — cliff-top above a turquoise sea with a private island in the foreground — is unlike anything else in the Caribbean. Best for families and groups who want a self-contained island-within-an-island experience.
