Las Casitas | El Conquistador Resort

Our Airbnb in Fajardo was at Las Casitas Village in El Conquistador Resort. Las Casitas are situated at the highest point of a scenic 300 foot hill on gorgeous grounds with bubbling fountains, flowering trees and perfectly manicured hedges. 

El Conquistador is right next door but super exclusive, to the point that they will not allow Airbnb guests on hotel property. Thankfully, we were allowed to use the gorgeous pools at Las Casitas Village right outside our condo door! We spent some time at the breathtaking infinity pool until its usage came into question on our last planned pool day and we were asked to leave.

 This is a pool on actual Las Casitas property.  The resort apparently has a "rule" that Airbnb guests can not use it. (A manager came around checking for wristbands.) I guess lucky that we had been using it prior with no issue? It was an incredibly quiet and not at all crowded pool area. Next thing you know we had committed the biggest offense!! With our two little kids and no one else using the pool, we were ushered out. 

The regular pool + hot tubs we were allowed to use were still fantastic, sparkling clean and beautifully appointed.  

It is such a strange thing the resort has against Airbnb guests, creating purposeful rules to use against them when you are renting legally from an owner. They don't even allow your business at the restaurants. It is a little sour if you ask me! We had a really nice time but I would not give my ringing endorsement to stay here based on how the hotel staff is forced to treat you: an unfortunate side effect of a really nice Airbnb.
