Meetings and Events in Fajardo, Puerto Rico
Picture a conference where the coffee break looks out over the Caribbean, and the closing party happens on a private island. That's what a group event in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, can look like. It's one hour east of San Juan's airport, and U.S. groups don't need passports.
Here's what makes Fajardo work for meetings, conventions and incentive trips, and who can help you plan one.
El Conquistador Resort: the biggest meeting venue on the east coast
El Conquistador Resort sits on a cliff above the sea, where the Atlantic meets the Caribbean. It's one of the largest resorts in Puerto Rico, and it keeps growing: new rooms will bring it to about 750 by the end of 2026 (El Nuevo Día). For groups, the numbers are serious:
About 100,000 square feet of indoor event space, plus 40,000 square feet outdoors.
49 function rooms in two connected conference centers.
Two large ballrooms: the Grand Atlantic Ballroom (20,486 sq ft) and the Grand Caribbean Ballroom (about 20,000 sq ft), both divisible into smaller rooms.
Outdoor spaces for receptions, like the Grand Atlantic Terrace, the pool decks and the Mirador Terrace.
Palomino Island, the resort's private 100-acre island, a 15-minute ferry ride away. It's a one-of-a-kind spot for a beach day or a group celebration.
Your group stays, meets and eats in one place, and everyone gets ocean views.
A local team to handle everything else: InterActive DMC
A great venue is only half of a successful event. Groups also need airport pickups, transportation, tours, entertainment and someone on the ground who knows the island.
That's where a destination management company (DMC) comes in. InterActive DMC Puerto Rico is run by a team with more than 40 years of combined experience, and its owner is from Fajardo. Their office is right in town, on Calle Diego Zalduondo. They have organized group activities at El Conquistador and on Palomino Island. Their services include:
Personalized airport meet and greet, plus bus, executive and luxury transfers.
Team building and interactive activities.
Tours, dine-arounds and unique venues around the island.
Décor, entertainment, hospitality staff, and gifts and amenities for guests.

Getting your group here
