El Conquistador Resort

El Conquistador Resort, A Waldorf Astoria Resort near Fajardo, Puerto Rico, offers a destination for groups unlike anything on the mainland. The $42-million Grand Atlantic Conference Center, for instance, takes full advantage of its location with terraces featuring views of El Yunque rain forest and the convergence of Atlantic and Caribbean waters. Inside, the center’s highlights include the Grand Atlantic and Caribbean Ballrooms, two state-of-the-art venues totaling over 41,000 square feet. With the addition of the center, the resort now offers more than 100,000 square feet of meeting and event space.

Guests live in five distinct wings, or villages, adding up to 984 accommodations. While the main building caps a 300-foot cliff with spectacular views of the sea, the 500 acres encompass multiple elevations and a vast choice of pleasures, from sampling the fare at 23 bars, lounges, cafes, and restaurants to indulgences at the Waldorf Astoria Spa.

Conferees can test their mettle on seven tennis courts and an Arthur Hills–designed golf course. While some might dive into the Coqui Water Park’s thrilling water slides, pools, and lazy river, others might hop a catamaran for the eight-minute ride to Palomino Island, a 100-acre getaway ringed by miles of Caribbean sands, plus beach service, WaveRunners, snorkeling, horseback riding, and more.
