Visitors have praised the helpful and entertaining staff, who ensure a perfect balance of snorkeling and beach enjoyment.
Captain Omar was the best! We sat upstairs and had a front row seat to his genius. On top of that he was so friendly and kind. The whole crews focus on safety and organization was impressive. They didn’t lack in any fun either! The music, vibes, funny explanations, etc were awesome too! I don’t know how these guys keep their energy up like they do, but BRAVO. I only hope if I book again, I get the same folks running the show. Top notch.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Absolutely Incredible Experience! I had the BEST time today on the boat and snorkel excursion with Puerto Rico Snorkeling! From start to finish, everything was seamless, safe, and so much fun. The crew was professional, super friendly, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and excited—whether it was your first time snorkeling or you were experienced. The boat ride was beautiful, the views were breathtaking, and the snorkeling spots were vibrant and full of marine life. Crystal-clear water, colorful fish, and even some coral—truly like swimming in a postcard! The guides gave great tips on where to look and even pointed out cool things in the water. What made this excursion stand out was the energy and positive vibe from the entire team. They really cared about giving us a memorable experience, and it showed. Plus, they had great music, refreshments, and the atmosphere was just perfect for relaxing and enjoying the beauty of Puerto Rico. If you’re visiting PR and looking for a magical day on the water, don’t miss this tour. I’d 100% book with them again—worth every penny!

This was a wonderful tour with a helpful, fun, and warm crew. We got to snorkel for 30 min ~ and saw some pretty fish, sea urchins, jellys (baby ones), and stingrays. Lunch was pasta, chicken salad, green salad, bread, and cold bean salad. Everything was delicious, including the alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks! We loved the boat slide and float mat.Highly Recommend and well worth what we paid! Would do this experience again 🤿

We went snorkeling aboard the Medusa and it was absolutely amazing! 🌊🐠 The entire crew was so friendly, accommodating, and full of fun energy. They were very detailed with safety, but also made sure everyone had a great time. The reef was beautiful with tons of fish, and hanging out at Icacos Island was the perfect way to spend the day. 🏝️ My two friends were visiting Puerto Rico for the first time, and they’re already talking about coming back just for this experience! The drinks and lunch were delicious, and the whole vibe was 10/10. Highly recommend booking this trip—you won’t regret it!

We had an amazing time on our snorkel trip! From start to finish, the crew made it a truly unforgettable experience. The lunch was delicious, with plenty of vegetarian options, and the free drinks kept flowing all day—special shoutout to Ricky for making the best mojitos we’ve ever had! The snorkeling itself was incredible—we saw tons of marine life, including turtles and even manta rays. The boat had a fun slide that added to the adventure, and everything felt super safe thanks to our captain, Yarel, who did a fantastic job navigating and keeping everyone comfortable. The crew—especially Dante and Ricky—were so friendly, helpful, and attentive. They made the whole vibe fun and relaxed, and even gave us some great local recommendations for beaches to visit after the tour. We were also celebrating my husband’s birthday, and they helped make it extra special. Couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. Highly recommend this tour!
Alexandra S — Google review
Very organized and professional tour! The crew was amazing and takes their time to make you feel safe and comfortable in the water. We had a number of beginner swimmers who were not comfortable and they helped them safely back to shore. The water was too turbid so we were not able to see a lot, but some guests did see green sea turtles and manta ray. I was only able to see conch and schools of fishes. We sailed to Vieques and the beach was beautiful. I saw the both the tiniest and largest hermit crabs of my life. Waterside was fun, but I loved jumping off the side of the boat more! Food and drinks were flowing. I was seasick at that point. Rookie move! Take meds before the trip if you are susceptible. The waters can be choppy (especially during Hurricane season).

Wonderful day with the Snorkeling Puerto Rico crew. Started with a very warm welcome from Noni. Full of info practical, cultural and scientific. The boat crew with Amanda and Chris were incredible. They made the experience really fun and safe. The Medusa was immaculate and comfortable. A great day was had by all. .

We had such an incredible time on this snorkeling excursion! From the moment we stepped onboard, the crew made us feel welcome and at ease. Dahli, Chris, and Captain Danty were absolutely top notch—friendly, engaging, and full of great energy. Their hospitality and interactiveness really elevated the whole experience. The boat ride itself was as smooth as it gets, thanks in part to some picture-perfect conditions, and we had plenty of time in the water to really enjoy the snorkeling. The crew kept the atmosphere fun and relaxed, and the drinks were flowing, which was the perfect touch.

Visitors have praised the restaurant for its exceptional dishes, such as croquetas stuffed with halibut.

Food is delicious but a bit on the pricy side, still a very good place close to the bay. The ocean breeze while eating for me was a plus. Service was exceptional and attentive. Recommended 100%
David R — Google review
Recently dined at this restaurant with a stunning view of a marina, where you can watch boats come and go and see the ocean with islands in the background. The service was just okay, nothing particularly outstanding. The food was good, but I was surprised by the rigidity of the menu. You can't make any changes to the dishes as listed, which was disappointing, especially given the limited options. If you're a fan of vegetables, this place might not be for you, as the menu doesn't cater well to veggie lovers. Despite the restaurant being almost empty, the main dishes took a considerable amount of time to prepare, which was above average for what I'd expect. The drinks, however, were good, and I particularly recommend the sangria. Overall, the service, food, and environment were just okay, but the ocean view was definitely a highlight.

*Did not eat here so can’t speak for the food* Stopped in for some drinks and sunset after swimming. The restaurant was basically empty which we found odd. The lady behind the bar immediately went and got another coworker when we sat down, he gave us menus then left? She ended up asking for our order and serving us, was a strange run around. The drinks were amazing though, very flavorful and fruity. The view is also very nice!

El Yate is an excellent spot in Fajardo! The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor, with a great variety to choose from. The atmosphere is relaxed and perfect for enjoying a nice meal by the water. Special thanks to Juan Carlos for his outstanding service—he was friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. He gave great recommendations and took care of every detail. Definitely recommend El Yate, and if you can, ask for Juan Carlos—he’ll make your experience even better!

We got there and were seated very quickly. We got a virgin Pina colada and a mojito. As an appetizer we got the octopus with chimichuri sauce, it was delicious the freshness of the chimichuri and the nice octopus was fantastic, out of all the octopus I have had it was the best yet. Then we got the stuffed fish , we got it stuffed with octopus and shrimp. The octopus was so soft and tender it melted in your mouth I have not had any thing like it, the shrimp was so soft and juicy with just the right amount of buttery flavor. The fish was so good it was deep fried in a special oil so it was not greesy and it had a great flavor it tasted better if you had it with a little lemon we got from the bar. Once it got cold it got a little fishy. Our waiter was very kind and made us feel very welcome. They did not have desert but we were to full for dessert.
Victoria T — Google review
The basic courtesy of any restaurant is to welcome guests with water at the table. Here, they don’t. Even when we asked for water, they questioned how many glasses—despite it being obvious we were two—and then asked what kind of water we wanted. An awkward detail that disrupts the experience. The food is good, but the prices are not reasonable for the level of service provided. At this price point, a restaurant should pay more attention to customer care, since water is essential to enjoy a meal. The quality of the dishes does not make up for the lack of such a simple but important gesture.
Mariel D — Google review
What an AMAZING dining experience!!! The service was over the top, Michael was our waiter and was the best. The manager checked on us multiple times to make sure we were good. Everything we ate was amazing, Churrasco Mofango (the best and most flavorful I have had ever, including this week here on Puerto Rico) and the Breaded Chicken was out of this world!! I have no idea why people are giving this bad reviews, the BEST meal we have eaten in Puerto Rico!!! One of the best of all time!!! Great atmosphere, beautiful views, outstanding service, and the greatest food!!!

Resort hotel
Nestled on the northeastern tip of Puerto Rico, El Conquistador Resort is a luxurious oceanside retreat offering bright and airy rooms, three pools, a water park, and an impressive selection of over 20 restaurants and bars. The resort spans 500 acres with three intimate 'villages' and a grand hotel perched on 300-foot bluffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea.
Wow! Super resort. Very family friendly and tons of activities. The food was very good but the service from concierge to housekeeping were above expectations. What great people. So friendly and welcoming. This resort is huge. I had no idea when I booked it. I was just looking for something with a beach. These guys have their own island! They have a super fun water park, car rental on site, spa and countless places to eat and have a good time. My only complaint is that the bed was super firm and I ended up aggravating my sciatica otherwise, this is a top notch resort. Thank you for a wonderful time!
Marlene C — Google review
El Conquistador is truly a stunning resort! The grounds are beautifully maintained, the pools are incredible, and the views are absolutely breathtaking—something that really sets this property apart. We stayed at the Casitas, which were spacious, comfortable, and offered such a relaxing experience. The only area that could be improved was the pool bar staff, as they weren’t as friendly or engaging as we expected. However, the overall beauty and charm of the resort far outweigh that small detail. If you’re looking for a place that combines relaxation, great amenities, and unforgettable scenery, I highly recommend El Conquistador. We’ll be back!

We had a wonderful time at El Conquistador Resort. The scenery alone is breathtaking: from the golf course to the ocean views, every corner feels like a postcard. The hotel itself was beautiful and it’s clear they’re making great strides in improving the property. A special thank you to Cysmal, who helped us with our reservation, and Miguel, who took care of our luggage and greeted us with such warmth. Their hospitality set the tone for our stay. Our room had a stunning view, and the waterpark, ferry rides to the private island, and cable cars made the entire experience unforgettable. There’s so much to do that we barely had a reason to leave the resort. The only downside was the food service. The quality and attention to detail didn’t match the rest of the experience — one meal even came out burnt, which delayed our plans. For the price point, the meals could definitely use improvement. Overall, despite the hiccup with the food, we truly enjoyed our stay. The resort is beautiful, the staff (especially Cysmal and Miguel) made us feel cared for, and we can’t wait to come back!

We booked roughly six months ago for a work conference (extended into a vacation) that would be held at this resort. Upon arriving at the beautiful location, we were checking in with a young man by the name of Jayden. Jayden tried to quickly slip through the detail that our king bedroom had been changed to a double queen. When asked for clarification he was very unconcerned with the fact that they had changed our reservation and given no notice. He offered no solution and no apology. We asked about a paid upgrade to be able to have a king bed and he told us that wasn’t an option. Because we were exhausted from travel and ready to rest we simply accepted the unwanted room change. Outside of our change in accommodations and Jayden’s lack of customer service, we truly enjoyed the resort. The rest of the staff was very kind and accommodating. Raquel (poolside waitress) and Angel (bellman) were two standout employees that went above and beyond. We enjoyed visiting with them both and greatly appreciated their kindness. The room was clean and well decorated. We visited before their peak season started, so there were very few wait times, but I can imagine that in peak season the ferry ride to the island might be tedious, albeit it worth it. Overall, it is a very nice resort. The drive from the airport is about an hour, but the views make it well worth it. Just confirm your desired room is still available and correct before arriving.

The resort is amazing. The view is breathtaking! For that rate, would be nice to have a good breakfast buffet all week, including local dishes. The music is too loud.I was at the lobby and I heard 3 different songs at the same time! Also, I couldn’t have my window open due the music. I would like also to have the option of shuttles to San Juan as an alternative activity. The music is too loud for the parrots they have- small cages for their size?, with the a/c and the music all the time. Rooms are small but comfortable.

Rooms were fine. The service was good and food also fine. My biggest complaint was that they must sell day passes to young adults on Saturday was a mess in lower pool.

Not for longterm stay. Super finy fridges that cant even hold an average plate, no microwaves in the rooms, so you have to buy their pricey food. Staff are awesome. Inside the room is equivalent to 2 or 3 star hotel except the space and the ocean view. Make sure the fridge is plugged. There's a turn on switch inside on the left. It glows green when turned on. I learnt that the hard way 😂

OMG! We had an incredible time on the Mini Boat and Snorkel Tour! Luis and Jose, our guides were great! They took care of us the entire time and had great energy. The snorkeling was so great! We were surrounded with so many beautiful fishes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS EXCURSION, it won’t disappoint. Note: for the passengers, the ride to the island is very, very bumpy! You have to hold on for dear life lol.

AMAZING!!! Had a great time with the moto-boat. It was really fun and we got to see beautiful views. Our tour guide, Luis, was very friendly, knowledgeable and patient. He made the trip so much more enjoyable, it felt like having a local friend more than a tour guide. He explained everything very throughly, gave us facts about the areas and wildlife. Unfortunately, because of the weather condition, we were advise that snorkeling might not be possible, and it wasn’t. But still was very worth it. I would recommend reserving in advance, we almost weren’t able to take the tour because it was sold out.

What a rewarding experience! I loved the excursion! José and Adriana were especially pleasant and helpful throughout the entire process. First, we took the ferry to Culebra Island. Then, we went snorkeling at Tamarindo Beach, where we saw Stingrays, turtles, and colorful fish for approximately an hour, and they took photos for our memories. Then, we went to Flamenco Beach for approximately three hours, with free time. Snacks and refreshments were included. There are restaurants and bars on the beach for a great piña colada 😉 Finally, we took the ferry again; it was a full-day excursion. Remember to bring snacks and extra cash. 100% recommended.🌴🌞🌊🇵🇷🥽

We had the best time on the Kayakying Puerto Rico Mini Boat Tour! The marina was easy to find, parking was just a short walk & FREE, the check-in tent was easy to find, & amenities were plentiful. We were fitted for flippers & lifevests, met our guides (Jose & Luis where were AWESOME), had a tutorial on where we were going, what we would see, & how to drive the boat. Next, we got on the water & had a blast! The water was a little choppy - it was a windy day & you're in the ocean - but it was an awesome ride & we loved it. I laughed & smiled the entire time! Once we got to the reef, we snorkeled for an hour & saw so many different fish, corals, & other sea creatures. It was BEAUTIFUL!!! Our next stop was Icacos Island where we were anchored at the beach for an hour. We snorkeled around the old piers and enjoyed the crystal clear water plus some snacks. Then we "surfed" back to the marina, riding with the waves instead of against. Overall, this was an AWESOME day & our guides - Jose & Luis - made it wonderful! We 100% recommend! A few notes: - Take a change of clothes, there are nice showers/changing rooms at the marina. - Don't take your towel on the mini boat, there's no need for it; maybe just a handtowel in your bag. - There were plenty of granola bars, juice pouches, & a water canister in our personal cooler on the miniboat. Just take a refillable water bottle.

Went here on the bioluminous kayak trip. There was a brief tutorial on how to use your paddles but with people that have never done it before that could be very confusing. So there had have been 20 kayaks going and although it was nicely set up that we all got in and then but when we got going it was a mess because people that couldn't kayak were jamming up the people that could kayak and they were trying to take pictures of everything while we go. But unless you have a really good camera, it's not going to work in this kind of darkness. It would have been been funner to see the mangrove before it got totally dark but it wasn't interesting kiatric down the mangroves and we did see some bioluminous even though they said that there was some seaweed that might cause spell. It didn't and you could see some and it was really different than the other bioluminous we saw in Jamaica. These were like sparkles but they were really faint. Even if someone was talking up front and telling you stuff. There's no way where we were. We could hear anything cuz we were more towards the back but then there was these little things that were jumping into the boat apparently. But we didn't see them until we got to the Bay so we could shine our phones on it. They were little like shrimp hopping around on us. That was funny

Amazing Mini Boat Tour – Highly Recommend!!! This was our second time taking this mini boat tour because the experience is just that good! We wanted to bring our son along this time, and it did not disappoint. Jose, Luis, and Noel were absolutely fantastic—they went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. The snorkeling stop was a highlight; while I didn’t snorkel myself, my son did and had an absolute blast! We also spent time at Cayo Icacos, which was beautiful and so relaxing. The crew was professional, friendly, and made the entire trip enjoyable from start to finish. If you’re looking for a fun and memorable adventure, we highly recommend this tour!

A very highly recommended seafood place in Fajardo. Good options and a wide variety in the menu. Passion fruit sangria is a nice drink you should try. Calamari was good, but could have been more crispier. Do ask for the hot sauce along with the passion fruit sauce they give you. Red snapper ceviche was refreshing. We asked for the grilled swordfish but they had to replace it with red snapper, which was still good. We also tried their very popular fried stuffed fish with shrimp. Order this if you have a big appetite. It's an entire red snapper fish fried and stuffed with a seafood of your choosing. It was large!

I’ve been to Pasión por el Fogón before and had a wonderful experience, which is why I was so excited to return this time with my family. I wanted to share a place that meant something to me, that I had spoken highly of, and that I thought would be a special memory for all of us. Unfortunately, that’s not how the night went. We had a reservation, were seated on time, and waited patiently. But after more than an hour and a half, we still hadn’t received our food. We watched multiple tables who arrived after us get served and leave, while we sat waiting with no explanation, no updates, and no one checking in. Our kids grew restless and hungry. We ended up leaving and going to Chick-fil-A just to feed them. I was honestly embarrassed. I felt like I let my family down by bringing them here. I don’t know what happened whether the kitchen was overwhelmed or something got missed but what hurt most was the silence. No one acknowledged us or offered to make it right. I know this restaurant is capable of excellence. I’ve experienced it myself. And maybe that’s why this experience stung more than if it had been my first time. I’m leaving this review not out of anger, but because I hope future guests get the attention and care they deserve. I still believe in this place but something went really wrong that night, and I hope it gets addressed.

THIS PLACE IS A MUST GO!!!! I was licking every last crumb from everything we ordered. We were even in a rush to eat our food but it was SO DANG GOOD!! We ordered the fried fish stuffed with lobster with a cream of garlic sauce (as per the server’s recommendations). This took a while to come out, almost a whole hour but they also had a large party that they were working on. It was definitely worth the wait though- seasoned and fried to perfection. We also started off with fried cheese which was delicious as well- would definitely recommend, especially if you love cheese! Come Again? YES! If I visit Puerto Rico again, I’m definitely coming back here.

Our recent visit to La Pasión por el fogón left us with mixed feelings. While I had high hopes for an exceptional culinary experience, the food fell short of my expectations. The flavors lacked the depth and creativity I had anticipated, and to make matters worse, the prices were quite steep. It's disappointing when the quality of the food doesn't align with the cost, and unfortunately, that was the case here. To add to the disappointment, my daughter experienced stomach discomfort after the meal. This made the overall experience even more unsatisfactory. It's unfortunate when a dining experience not only fails to meet expectations but also leaves a negative physical impact. All in all, it was a rather underwhelming and regrettable visit, characterized by both overpriced fare and subsequent discomfort. I don’t think we will go back.

Restaurante Puerto Fino is a waterfront dining spot that offers an unforgettable culinary experience in Puerto Rico.

Visitors rave about the exceptional service and delectable food, with highlights including the special grouper and shrimp dish, fish tacos, vegetarian pasta, tostones, grilled shrimp salad, and mac n cheese.
My husband and I ate here while we were waiting for the bioluminescence kayaking tour. We arrived 4 hours early for the tour thinking we could go shopping at local shops, but not much is here for shops. This restaurant though… WOW. This restaurant was such a gem. What we loved most was that it’s a family run restaurant (husband as chef, wife, daughter is serving!) everything here is cooked from scratch and you can tell it’s so fresh! I had a shrimp gnocchi with an Alfredo sauce. My husband had a skirt steak with fries. We didn’t walk away hungry or feeling unsatisfied. The daughter serving us checked in on us regularly and we left as happy as can be. We must’ve stayed for 2-3 hours just drinking, eating, and being happy. We had such a blissful experience with great food and atmospheric.i wish this family well.

Very good mojitos (they put candy in the nonalcoholic ones!) and food. I got the pesto fettuccini with chicken and the octopus arepa, and they were amazing. Our server Miozotis was really attentive and nice. I’d also def recommend the red snapper whole fish—my friend loved it and the tostones it came with were amazing.

Porto Fino is really good spot behind the bio bay tour companies. Good drinks, delicious food and view. The shrimp salad is tasty and loaded with shrimp, the shrimp tacos, grouper on pasta and garlicky tostones were also highlights in our group. Kids menu consists of chicken nuggets and Mac & cheese, but they can also do pasta with red sauce and appetizers fried mozzarella and French fries also fit the bill.

Stopped by before going on bioluminescent kayak tour. Simple place. Good food. Prompt service. Our group had the fish tacos, chicken tacos plus fries, and gnocchi with pesto sauce and shrimp. All were good. Solid place with shade.

Excellent fresh food and great drinks! Nice view of the water as well. You must try the fish tacos, the fish was so fresh and the veggies that come on them were delightful. All of us did the build your own pasta with shrimp and salmon, again the shrimp tasted like they were just caught and the salmon was cooked perfect. We also had pina coladas and mojitos and they were the best of our week long visit to PR. Definitely check this place out.

Restaurant
Cinco Nudos is a restaurant in Fajardo, Puerto Rico that offers a variety of Puerto Rican cuisine, including lobster tails and deep-fried dishes. The restaurant is known for its experienced staff and delicious local delicacies. Visitors can enjoy the spacious seating area with reasonable prices and great cocktails. Families are welcomed, and the fish of the day is highly recommended for its freshness and quality.
This place was surprising. The best service I’ve ever had in Puerto Rico. I was worried that it would be cheap or cafeteria like food because it’s convenient and near the boats, but I was wrong. Had a great time. Staff - this was the best service I’ve ever had in PR. The waiter was pleasant, came often and was super nice. Place - large with lots of seating. Prices - reasonable Drinks - great cocktails. Limited beer. Food - had the fish of the day. It was really fresh and good. Families - welcomed.

This is one of my top favorite restaurants. Location is key, water front, amazing view, amazing service, gated access and most of all, amazing flavors with low prices compared to other nearby restaurants. This is a must try. You have to put this on your bucket list. Either you come on a boat or driving, this is a top 5 in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.

Parking available, within gated marina, ocean side, great service and delicious food options. The only detail I can mention as area of opportunity is they don’t have the ingredients for a traditional Moscow mule only passion fruit one. Also rooftop was closed maybe due to COVID. We were able to see it and it is lovely.
Natalia D — Google review
Okay… the GPS and lack of signage made this restaurant very hard to get to. In order to get there, you have to go through Marina gated entrance and tell them you are looking for Cinco Nudos. Once we actually made it - Food & service was lovely. We would recommend!!

The Café Playero bar & grill is the best place to enjoy a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner in town. The food and drinks are delicious, and the service is excellent. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring Fajardo.
Amazing food and coffee! Quality coffee. The most notable was my husband’s steak and eggs. He’s very picky about his steak since he makes his own so well at home. This is probably the best steak we’ve ever eaten out. Ordered it medium and it was so flavorful and tender and juicy. The choco coco latte was delicious and sweet, almost like a dessert. Beautiful presentation. The kids all loved their meals- the Mac n cheese, pancakes, and French toast with Nutella and fruit. All was top notch!

We had the best time here! We came about 5 times in under a week. First Fabiola was our server and she was excellent! The final time we went we had Tatiana as our server and she made my night. Literally! I was feeling nauseous and wanted a grilled chicken and bread. Though it was not in the menu she helped make it happen. She also gave me a bag of ice to put in the back of my neck to assist with the nausea. It is refreshing to see such kindness in the world.

We had a great lunch/early dinner. The food was delicious and good portions. The prices were great. We didn't have to wait to be seated, and the waitress was very helpful and kind. We would definitely go there again.

Nice brunch/ breakfast place, beach view, colorful setting, and great staff. We had the Pancake Dubai and the Pancake Guava cream cheese, and they tasted great. Nice portions, rich flavors, fresh and balanced. The puerto rican coffee we ordered was also really nice, i wish they made it in bigger cups so we never run out of it 😂 The staff were really nice and attentive.
