We went at the end of Feb begining of March. It was a girls only trip. We left the husbands and kids at home. We wanted something that had great pools, good drinks and good food. We just wanted to relax and not do a lot. This was a great hotel for this. No, the beach wasn't swimmable, but that didn't bother us, because the pools were wonderful. We had a couple of chilly afternoons and the pools were wonderfully heated. The food was really good and we found it wasn't to unreasonably priced. (especially when you converted it to dollars) The staff was wonderful as well. Other than the fact that they didn't get us connecting rooms and that coffee from room service took 45 min one morning, we had a great stay at this hotel. Also, I was really nervous about getting bothered by all the time share stuff from previous reviews, but they didn't bother us at all. We talked about it later and figured that they knew we were 4 women without husbands so probably figured we wouldn't be making those kinds of decisions without them there. We all enjoyed this hotel immensly and hopefully will go there again soon!

I have high expectations, and this hotel fulfills it. I have been to this hotel/timeshare 4 times in the last 3 years, and the only reason I go back is... SERVICE, SOLITUTE, ROMATIC, and most importantly UPSCALE!#1 Don't take a cab, call the resort and they will pick you up for a very resonabable rate, and most likely you will have the entire air conditioned shuttle to yourself. 28.00 each way as of 3.01.04.#2 This place is romantic and quiet so bring someone you want to be close with ...it doesn't get much better then this.#3 Food is on the higher end and somewhat expensive, but be prepared, you can always take a shuttle into Cabo and have a Steak for 12.99 at Trailor Park.#4 You can snorkel off their beach and see more underwater life then you would to pay for a 50.00 Snorkel Cruise. The water can be rough at times and the hotel will post a flag to let you know the exisitng swimming threat.#5 I hope you like pools with waterfalls, you have many to choose from including hot tubs. Be sure to visit the FIREPIT at night with your sweetie to take in some romance,drinks,dinner, and live music.

We just returned from nine fabulous days at the Fiesta Americana in Cabo. First, I should address some of the negative comments that have been posted about this resort. Yes, it's expensive, but what would you expect from a five star resort where the food has to be brought in from far away and where literally hundreds of people are employed. If you're on a vacation in a place like this you should be prepared for the prices, which are actually not all that expensive when you compare them with restaurant or hotel prices in a big US city or the Carribean. One tip: if you like to make coffee in your room, bring coffee and #2 filters and you'll save $5.00 for what we typically think of as complimentary in-room coffee. On the other hand, one morning my wife just ordered coffee in the restaurant, had three cups, and they refused to charge her for it.Getting back to the resort, the views are the most spectacular you'll find anywhere. The gardens are amazing and extremely well tended. Most important, however, is that the staff at this hotel are unbelievably eager to please. Sure things get messed up at times, but the staff is always ready to do what they can to accommodate you. We booked a special deal with the Vacation Club and wound up in probably the worst rooms in the place--two lock-off students in the Vacation Club away from the main hotel. The hotel was completely full (Presidents Week) but after two days they cheerfully changed our rooms. If you do book through the Vacation Club try to get a regular hotel room or anything but the lock-off studios.Unless you plan to spend almost all the time in the hotel you need a rental car. Book your car on line before you leave home and you'll save a lot of money. Dollar Rent a Car is on the premises; we rented from Thrifty and got a very good deal. It is expensive to take cabs to town ($20 each way). It's also nice to have the flexibility to take day trips. We went to Todos Santos which was lots of fun.The food at the hotel is great. The primary restaurant (Rosato) is wonderful, as are the other two on-site restaurants. The breakfast buffet is as good as you'll find anywhere. The pools are magnificent. The water is quite warm, however, and if you like really cold water for swimming you'll be disappointed. There are several jacuzzis around the pools which are excellent.Finally, we had perfect weather. We did not see one single cloud from the time we arrived on a Friday afternoon until our last day a week from that Saturday. It was cloudy the day we left.All in all, it was a great place for a vacation. It's hard to believe that anyone really wouldn't like this resort.

I booked my trip to cabo thru expedia. Paid $143/night for 5 nights in July 2003 at the Fiesta Americana. We had a fabulous time. Hotel was clean, friendly & attentive staff. Food was very good. Kids loved the pool, free scuba lessons on select days. Swim up bar for me. Played Cabo Del Sol with my wife while kids slept in one day...Beautiful course!! I travel a lot and this hotel was the quality of a Ritz Carlton Hotel (minus slow valet service, bellman, etc). Tips include declining timeshare offers. Renting a car at the airport and driving. It's safe & you come and go as you please. Drive to hidden coves for safe fun snorkling, or into town at night, and you don't have to deal with Taxi's. If you are really cheap (like us) pack a case of bottled water. Great Place!!
