Get Acquainted

Located on the eastern tip of the island of Puerto Rico, you will find the El Conquistador Resort and Las Casitas Village, a Waldorf Astoria resort and a wonderland of endless fun, adventure, shopping, relaxation and pampering. The main resort is situated on a 300 ft. cliff, overlooking the turquoise waters where the Caribbean meets the Atlantic. On this sprawling 500 acre resort, you will find five distinctively different villages of luxurious accommodations, over 23 restaurants, bars and cafes, seven pools, seven tennis courts, an 18-hole championship golf course, a private marina, a full-fledged, 2.4-acre water park, complete with a lazy river and 60 ft. water slide, a 26,000 square foot Waldorf Astoria Spa, over 100,000 square feet of event space, and a private island with white sand beaches and unlimited water sports. However, all of these over the top amenities would just be another beautiful resort if it weren’t for the staff. One of the most valuable resources at this magnificent wonderland is their staff members that will go above and beyond to make your experience unforgettable and guarantee your desire to return again and again.
