OK. Before I start my review I would like to preface this review by saying this is not my first stay at F.A. Grand Cabos. This is my third and my last.
First of all, our initial drop off to the hotel was the sign of all things gone wrong. We booked our travel through Apple Vacations -- like always.
We were dropped off away from the main entrance -- why? I have no idea. My wife, son, and myself had to grab our baggage and wheel them to the front door. There were plenty of doorman standing around doing nothing. It was not until we walked up to the front door that they offered to take our bags.
The front desk could not find our reservation. Good thing we had our confirmation. The problem was corrected once they realized that our names were not spelled correctly or properly inputed into their reservation system as first name last, last name first. The opposite of the correct format.
Our room was not ready even though we checked in at 10am -- which we understand b/c check in was not until 3pm -- no problem. We were told to enjoy our time at the pool and we would be notified when our room was ready. Guess what? No one notified us all day. At 5pm we went to the Grand Club to inquiry about our room and was told it still was not ready. Finally at 6pm we got our room.
The room was very nice, as usually. Very clean. The maid did a good job keeping it clean and well stocked with fresh towels.
The pool area had a serious problem with Seagulls. They are very agressive. If you order any food....beware!!!!! Do not walk away from your food for one minute. If you do, you will never see your food again. The Seagulls will attack in hords!!!
The lounge chairs are in need of repair and/or replacement. But do not worry, there are plenty of towels to cover them up.
The food quality has gone down while the price of the food has GONE way, way, way, did I say way, UP! Typical dinner for two couples, including a few drinks, averaged $300. The portions were also small. The portions were so small I thought I was visiting a diet clinic. Lunch at the pool typical cost in the range of $75 to $150 including drinks for 4.
There is one restaurant in the hotel that has a different food theme each night (i.e. Italian, Mexican, Seafood) and it is buffet style. The night we decided to eat in the hotel, the theme was Italian @ $50/person. We walked around the buffet and decided not to eat there. There was no meat offering on the buffet. It was all pasta. How can you charge $50/person for pasta? The remaining nights we decided to eat out. I can tell you all about the wonderful restaurants in another review later. Eating dinner in Cabo averaged $200 to $400 for two couples. Food was excellent.
Lets talk about cabs. Since Fiesta Americana Grand Cabo is located about 25 minutes from downtown Cabo, the cab fare was $20 each way and $30 each way to San Jose. I spent close to $300 in cab fare.
One thing I do want to say about Fiesta American Grand Cabo hotel is a very clean Hotel, inside and out. The staff is friendly and helpful. The property is very large and there is plenty of walking to get around the property.
The hotel charges a fee to use the Fitness center -- $10/day.
In closing, my recommendation would be to look else where for a place to stay, like the Westin. I hope this helps.
