We visited Cabos in May 2004 and will be going back soon. We were very happy for the most part with Fiesta Americana Grand.

Property:
The overall property was absolutely beautiful and located in a luxury part of town (not too far and not too close to dining/shopping). The room was beautiful, large, clean, comfortable, and had a nice view of the pool and the Sea of Cortes (try to get one on a higher floor for a better view, and in a building closer to the pool). Hotel had great access to gold course as well. There is also a fire pit with seating and a telescope on the property for viewing stars.

Swimming/Beach: 4 pools, 2 beach sides (with beach huts), plus hot tubs
For those who really want swimming beach, this is not the place. But most of Cabo has rough water. It also is a bit rocky. Be advised the sand is course, not soft, but it did wonders to exfoliate the feet!! We did get in the water, but spent most time lounging in the sun at the very large beach (2 different sides) or one of the pools or hot tubs. Lounging was best by the swim up bar, where I saw them smashing fresh coconut for our Pina Colada’s! Lounge chairs here had wide cushions for two. Or just lounge around in the hammocks lining one of the pools.

Food:
The breakfast buffet was pretty good. We had lunch at the Peninsula restaurant usually every day (recommend the BLT sandwich). Dinner was also good at Vina Del Mar, but you HAVE to try Rosato and sit outside (great Italian and seafood). It was pricey but amazing. Overall though, the food is a better value and variety in town.


Spa:
Definitely go to the gym and the spa! The spa was very luxurious and relaxing. Must try a massage on the beach (in a cabana).

Car/Activities off-site:
I do recommend renting a car for at least a couple days. I highly recommend a day trip down the scenic “desert highway” to the artsy town of Todos Santos and eat lunch at the real Hotel California (yes like the Eagles song!). If you love to fish, then try to catch Marlin on a great sport fishing adventure. Or try golf nearby

In-Town:
You can’t miss going into town and eating at some of the many incredible restaurants right on the water. It is a gourmet’s paradise! Try Café Dorian, which is Asian Fusion Cuisine (especially the coconut shrimp or lobster), La Galeria, which is International Cuisine, and Mi Casa for Mexican food with awesome Margarita’s (more in the middle of town). There are tons of shops, street vendors, glass blowing stores, etc. There is also a Costco fairly close by so stock up on liquor, snacks, and water to save some money!

Nightlife:
For those who love fun, the obvious attractions are Cabo Wabo and El Squid Roe.

Negatives of Hotel:
We did have a small problem with someone else’s lunch being charged to our bill, but we checked our bill daily so it was caught and fixed in plenty of time. Also, the staff was a little slow to react (we had a package deal from AAVacations that included breakfast but we had to ask several times to get our buffet taken care of). Also, make sure to give yourself plenty of time when checking out, especially if you need help with your luggage. We found then to be extremely slow and ended up taking our bags down ourselves since it was quicker. There was also a slight issue with Timeshare annoyances but if you cut them off at the beginning, you’re not bothered again.

Overall, it was a beautiful hotel with great rooms, beach and food. It was also a pretty good value for Cabo. We would certainly stay here again.

We just returned from eight days at the Fiesta Americana Grand, Los Cabos, Mexico. What a terrific property! The resort is spectacular and with ocean views, sunrises,sunsets that can't be matched. The grounds are immaculate with plush landscaping and colorfull flowers. There are five pools and one is better than the other with different features(Bikini Bar) and views. The staff is friendly, couresty and professional. They can't seem to do enough for you. We had dinner off property and with plenty of resturants to choose from. We would recommend Mi Casa, Peacocks and the main resturant at the Westin Hotel. The dinner sunset cruise and show was a lot of fun and the food was good. You should decide prior to arrival whether you will rent a car or use taxis. With rentals you must consider auto insurance and driving in Mexico. On the other hand taxis are expensive, minimum US $20 to $30 each way and US$45 to the airport. The golf courses are exceptional and expensive, green fees US$200. to $256. There is no swimming at the beaches due to the riptides. You can walk the beach and get your feet wet but they have security and flogs raised indicating no swimming. Having said all that we would return in a minute.

We went to the Fiesta Americana during Spring Break. When we got there we were pleasantly surprised that it was not at all crowded like we had anticipated. The resort was beautiful, we stayed in the time share section. Our room had an awesome view of the Sea of Cortez and we could hear the waves from our room at night! It was really wonderful. The room also came with a refrigerator, microwave, dishes and glasses, which was really convenient. My husband and I went with our 2 children, 8 & 14, and my husband's parents. I can honestly say that every one of us had an excellent vacation!

The food and service were really outstanding! We travel quite a bit and stay at 5 star resorts and I have to say that this resort was really terrific. The people were all so friendly and anytime we needed a towel or chair at the pool or beach, there was someone there to assist. They wouldn't even accept any tips for the service, which I thought was interesting. We ate every day at the resort and I do have to say that the food and drinks are expensive. However, because we decided not to rent a car this time to go to town, that is to be expected.

A nice service that they extended to us was the use of a hospitality room. Our flight out was not scheduled to leave until 6:30 p.m. We stayed at the pool during the day and the hotel let us use one of the rooms to shower and get ready for our flight when we were ready to leave. I thought this was really great.

We really had a great time and I would return to the Fiesta Americana again in the future!

Went to the Fiesta Americana Grand Los Cabos on an RCI exchange in February 2005. Stayed in a two bedroom condo. Condo was large, nicely decorated and kept clean by daily maid service. We had a washer/dryer in ours -- not all do, but there is a laundry room available. Resort is spectacular. Great service and very friendly and helpful staff. Pools are incredible and warm! My boys (11 and 14) loved the sports pool with the basketball and volleyball nets. The free ping pong by the pool was also a plus. Restaurants were good, but service was very slow. Poolside grill ($18 US for a hamburger, fries and Coke) was delicious. Take the timeshare tour -- you get food vouchers and discounts on excursions such as ATV trips and snorkeling tours. Only complaint is not much to do at night for the kids. They need some pool tables, air hockey or a game room. If you have a condo unit, shop at Costco down the road for bottled water, pop, etc., because the $4 US cans of Coke add up! Not a swimming beach, but the water was too cold anyway. It was fun to feed the fish in the shallow water and watch the whales swim by. Warning -- lots of walking up and down steep grades.

Stayed at the FA Los Cabos 4/15-4/21. Grounds were beautifully manicured and pools were fabulous. There is no swimmable beach but the pools by far makes up for it. Service is top notch but food and drinks are expensive. $4.50 for beer...$2.50 for soft drinks...$10-$12 for cocktails. Food is also expensive but the calibur of food makes it worth the price or close to it. The resort is wondferful and the service is excellent. The location of the resort is also good. It is located between San Jose (about 12 miles away) and Cabo San Lucas (about 6 miles away). To get the best out of the trip I recommend renting a car as Taxis are VERY expensive $40-$50 and they are sometimes hard to get. We saw many people frustrated because they could not get to an appointment. Dollar rent-a-car has a small grocery store where you pick up the car....IE..you can also pick up some drinks..so bring a collapsable cooler! If you are a golfer be sure to bring your clubs...outstanding golf..best in the world. Best tips...rent a car, buy beer in grocery store then put in a cooler to have at pool...tip the waiters and they will bring you extra ice when needed.Eat at Mi Casa, Edith's and the Office! Relax and have fun!
