Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Wonderful Resort!

The food, pool and beach was perfect for our family of 4. Jorge the actives leader was so much fun. The fish taco restaurant was amazing and all the staff were incredible. Special thanks to Axel, Jesus, Ramone, and so many more! We will be back next year.

Fiesta Americana Riviera Nayarit: Amazing resort

Everything about the resort was above and beyond what we hoped for. It was clean and staff were very helpful and friendly. Food was also great! We would recommend this place and look forward to returning.

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Beautiful older resort - oceanfront rooms and a great location

We spent 10 days at the FA in early February, with our adult daughter and her boyfriend. This was our second time there, the first being nearly 20 years ago. This is a very nice, relatively large but compact resort that was built around 1960 and has been very well maintained. All rooms above about the 2nd floor have oceanfront views with balconies – gorgeous; the lower rooms have larger balconies that are good for families but their views may be blocked by trees or buildings. Opt for a room o [... read more]n the northern side (higher numbers), as they will give you a view too over Puerto Vallarta town. This is not a party resort (though access to the bars and clubs of Puerto Vallarta is easy) – more a place to chill out and relax. There is one large pool with a small shallow kiddie section and swim up bar, and an adult pool above the buffet building reserved for fiesta club members (those paying more for rooms on the top 3 floors). All pools are fairly shallow – not made for swimming laps. The beach is about the best in the old Hotel Zone, although when we were there, the ocean was unusually rough and no one was swimming. You can walk quite a ways both north and south along the beach. Food: The breakfast buffet is excellent and fiesta club members can sit on an outside terrace directly overlooking the ocean. Lunch is in the same buffet area (more limited choices), plus there is food in the snack bar near the pool, at the fiesta club adult pool, and at the seafood (La Cevichería) restaurant. For dinner, there are 4 restaurants – Italian (very good), Asian (very good but inside), Mexican (alright) and the new Azur restaurant for fiesta club members (very mixed reviews – we didn’t try it). There is also a café in the lobby, serving real espresso, cappuccino…, some fruit and pastries, and in the afternoon, soft ice cream. The wine is drinkable (better than most AI resorts) and alcohol is of good quality (idem). In the evening, a very pleasant bar right overlooking the ocean serves for fiesta club members with somewhat higher class alcohol and a bit of finger food, located above the Cevicheria restaurant. In addition, the large lobby bar serves all clients with a wide choice of drinks. Vegetarians and vegans: The resort makes a small effort to accommodate them in all restaurants and the waiters generally know the ingredients of all dishes. Vegetarians in search of protein will eat tons of cheese and eggs, while vegans will go without (or eat outside the resort). The Italian and Asian restaurants are best for them, although the Asian restaurant strangely does not have tofu and watch out for their Pad Thai without the meat – they use a fish-based sauce to flavor it. The Mexican restaurant has few black beans and they are cooked with lard (no veggie beans available). However, in the lunch Cevichería fish restaurant, they cooked for us good veggie quesadillas, fries and provided guacamole – none of which were on the menu. Staff were invariably great: efficient (including the front desk), fun to talk with – great workers. You should know that salaries are very low for most of these jobs and they often spend a good hour each way coming to work and going home after long days of work. Please tip generously – they deserve it. For me, the biggest advantage of this resort is its location. You are 100 to 150 pesos by taxi (/uber) from the center of town (maybe a 10-minute ride) and, if you walk 200 meters to the right down the street, you can catch public buses downtown (direction “centro” or, for only the romantic zone, “tunel”) for 10 pesos (use exact change). Across the street a bit to the right is the Plaza Caracol shopping center that caters to local Mexicans, with a large grocery store (Soriana) and a good selection of booze (much cheaper than in the airport duty free). Sunscreen there costs about half that in the FA store. Despite the overall quality of the FA, I’d urge everyone to get out – walk the Malecon over to the romantic zone, have a dinner or two out, visit the art galleries, listen to music in the evening, etc. Very good restaurants (all with some veggie options) include: Modest: Calmate (with excellent healthy options for vegetarians and vegans, plus for meat eaters). Moderate: La Traviata Italian restaurant (on top of an older hotel roof with great views of sunset) and Archie’s Wok right beside the pier. More expensive (reservations often necessary): Barcelona Tapas (great sunset views), Hacienda San Angel (beautiful, with mariachis), La Capella (gorgeous sunset views directly overlooking the main church and the ocean), Trio (quite limited veggie options), and Café des Artistes (maybe the top restaurant in town, with high prices).

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Wonderful vacation at the Fiesta Americana!

We would like to thank all the employees for their kindness and hospitality. There are so many names to remember but some that stood out , Karla who booked our suppers from day to day, Rafael, Alejandro, Jorge, George, who waited on us from all the different restaurants. The food was excellent. Right up Martin at the front entrance who made sure our luggage went to our rooms and that our travels back to the airport was taken care of.

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Fiesta Americana - Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - A 5 star Resort

Fiesta Americana is a 5 star all inclusive resort. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly and with incredible caring. A squeaky fan in our room was fixed before we could even open our luggage! The entire staff - from those polishing the rails to make them always shine, ensuring our room was always cleaned and replenished, to those cleaning the Banos, working the bars, those that entertained us, danced with us, exercised with us, scheduled all our dinners, prepared and served our  [... read more]meals, we say a multitude of thanks! Each one of you made our stay memorable. Special thanks to Karla Mendez whose smile each day literally made our day! Her ability to schedule everyone’s dinner plans was outstanding. To David Alcaraz, Caesar and their team, we extend our sincere thanks for entertaining us and teaching us the great value and fun of exercise - on ground, in the pool and dancing! Thanks to Martin our concierge for his assistance with arranging our ride to the airport. The food, the restaurants, the snack bars, etc. were excellent. The staff were wonderful. Just to name a few, we want to thank Jose and his team at the Italian restaurant, Rafael, Sharon and Alejandro at the Buffet, Jorge and Leondes at the Asian restaurant, Emmanuel and crew at the Seafood restaurant and Antonia at the pool bar. Something else to note was the security. We always felt safe. Security was always discreetly present! We have traveled extensively and would highly recommend this all inclusive resort and we would rate it 5 star. We will return! Gracias!

Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos: Solarium unit is the best

We loved the place. We would come back, but only to stay in the solarium location. Fun staff, good views, good food. It's far from town , so you have to take cabs in to town. Very security conscious staff, made us feel safe.

Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos: Amazing Resort!

A perfect Anniversary celebration with exquisite dining, unbeatable snorkeling, beautiful architecture and landscape and fantastic attentive staff! My husband and I and our friends chose the Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos to celebrate both our wedding anniversaries and it turned out to be a beautifully memorable trip! The resort's setting is absolutely breathtaking. Perched right on the coast, the views of the Sea of Cortés are stunning. We spent countless hours simply gazing out at the crys [... read more]tal-clear water and dramatic desert landscape. The architecture is beautiful, blending modern elegance with traditional Mexican flair, creating a tranquil and luxurious atmosphere throughout the property. The resort is a stunning backdrop for any special occasion, but it's the combination of exceptional service, exquisite dining, fantastic snorkeling right at the resort beach and incredible natural beauty that truly sets it apart. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel special. The dining experience was flawless-the atmosphere was intimate, the food was exquisite, and the servers were incredibly and consistently thoughtful….whether we tipped them or not. For us, the absolute highlight was the access to some of the best snorkeling in Los Cabos! The water was crystal clear, and we spent hours exploring the vibrant underwater world. We saw sooo many colourful fish and plenty of schools of fish too, as well as sea turtles and beautiful coral formations. We are also scuba divers and normally only see such vibrance when we are diving. If you are looking for the perfect blend of romance, fun and adventure for your next milestone celebration, this is the place! This was the first spa I’ve ever tried out so I have nothing to compare it to but I absolutely loved it! I do get massages on a regular basis at home so I know what a good massage is like and my massage at this spa was spot on perfect! The rest of the spa facility provided a serene escape for a much-needed few hours of relaxation. On the day before we were to leave, when we got back from diving, Alesha (I think she is one of the resort managers) called our room to talk to me about an issue we had when we first arrived. Her timing was perfect as she was saying that she had somehow been having a hard time getting in contact with us. She was able to arrange a wonderful complementary dinner for the 4 of us at La Bodega as compensation for the issue. This was perfect as we hadn’t tried this restaurant yet and hadn’t planned on it as it was the only restaurant on the resort that was $$$$ extra charge and was the only place we could get lobster (a favorite for 3 of us). The food was fantastic and all the staff were really wonderful to us! They really made us feel special as we celebrated our anniversaries. Then to top things off, there was a lovely romantic gesture waiting for us in our rooms that night (bottle of champagne chilling in a bucket of ice and plate of chocolate covered strawberries). We can’t help but mention how clean and tidy this resort was. In particular the cleaning staff for our rooms were the best we have ever had! They not only cleaned but kept our stuff neat and tidy…they even folded our clothes if we left anything out on the floor or on the bed or furniture…and no, they weren’t tip motivated as we didn’t leave a tip for them till the end. We would like to extend our heart felt gratitude and appreciation for the excellent service and hospitality from all members of the Grand Fiesta Americana resort. Literally all the staff members that we interacted with were very attentive to all of us. Also we would like to extend a job well done to the restaurant manager (Richard) and all his restaurant staff. This has been the best restaurant experience from all our historical resort experiences. Congrats on the excellent service and attention to detail. While we were checking out, the Operations Manager, Martin Flores, came over to us at the front desk to extend his apologies for a rough start but that he hoped things ended on a positive note and they certainly did! The issue at the start of our stay wasn’t really that big of an issue but the fact that they wanted to make things right regardless of the size of the issue spoke volumes. We look forward to returning next year!

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Fiesta Americana resort

Nice resort with comfortable and clean rooms. Due to the rooms close proximity to the pool and nightly entertainment the rooms can be a bit noisy if you are an early sleeper. The hotel is very close to the beach but I would not recommend this as a beach vacation as the water is very rough and getting in is very difficult due to the rocks washing down from the mountains. As it is now the rainy season the water is also very murky from the mountain run off. Selection of food is very good and tast [... read more]y.

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Great Vacation

The resort is not too big, and the staff are very friendly. The location is close to downtown, and the beach is nice. The sunsets are amazing from the balcony and the service in the restaurants is great. All the staff were great but to mention a few there were Marijose, Danue, Kelly and Alejandra. We have dealt with Jarius at trip central on numerous vacations and he is knowledgeable and always follows through on his word.

Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos: Wonderful staff

The Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos was probably my favourite of the 30 odd some resorts I've been to. I cannot say enough about the staff, from the maids who come by at various times of the day to ensure you have whatever you need, to the restaurant staff, who remember your drink preference and in a few cases, even our names. The check in and check out of the hotel were by far the smoothest I've ever had. I would for sure recommend this place

Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos: A whale of a good time

The hotel food was excellent but the lack of a supper buffer made things monotonous for a ten day stay. Whales were easily seen right from your room and were plentiful. Wanted to sell condos but a firm no will stop them. Don't go if you have trouble walking, lots of hills. Room was nice and clean as well. Service by everyone was excellent. Looks big but is a small resort by the feel.

Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos: Excellent Stay

Food was at the top compared to other resorts I have been at. Very clean grounds / rooms. Staff very friendly and the resort was pretty low key with respect to noise. I did like the intimate evening entertainment of guitar players / singers by the fire pit versus the big show productions. Would definitely come back.

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: What a great vacation

The staff are unbelievable,friendly,very courteous,helpful and accommodating.very clean,well looked after,obviously we like it,our third visit.We will be back... looking forward to our next visit with our family...our daughter was married here 2 yrs ago on the beach,gorgeous sunset wedding,great dinner,attentive staff the whole evening. Definatly recommend Fiesta Americana to all our friends....

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Beautiful resort

Hi. Hotel was nice and it was clean. The beach was pretty to look at but the sand was horrible. It says beachfront but you have to walk a certain distance over rocks to get to the water. The food was good but I expected buffet for breakfast lunch and dinner it was only at breakfast. Lunch you had to do a la carte. Dinner it was outside buffet style but they seated you at tables with other families. I feel it's a little deceptive when they say all inclusive Buffet. Also I wasn't impressed at  [... read more]the coffee shop closes at 10 p.m. Hotel was clean, safe and the staff were very nice. Can't beat the weather

Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun: Amazing resort!

Best breakfast and lunch options of any resort we have frequented. Good selection of ala carte dinner options ( steak and Italian are a favourite). Beautiful beach, clean rooms. Have stayed there 3 times we liked it so much. Every visit we noticed upgrades to resort.

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: An amazing time!

This hotel is such a great place! We’ve found the one that everyone is always looking for when traveling. The one where you want to go back year after year. Every group or couple we talked to it was their 6th or 12th or 18th time here and that speaks volumes. Check in: literally took 2 minutes, although we booked club in aug and emailed asking for a 9th floor room to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary we were put on the 7th. We weren’t going to let it ruin our stay so we dealt with i [... read more]t not the end of the world. Rooms: we were told that ours was old and tired, needing updates but it was just fine for us. The king was firm but we had good sleeps and it had lots of pillows. The bathroom was somewhat smaller and once you get two people getting ready it gets tight. The view is to die for and the balcony was huge! We had coffee every morning and watched the lights of pv every night out there. Pools: They are not freezing cold like mentioned, They are somewhat heated and very well maintained. Once you get in for a quick second it’s a small refreshing feeling then it’s like a bath tub. We watched maintenance replace any tile that was broken or missing unlike some reviews saying they are all broken everywhere. Not true. Pool bar was fantastic and service was the best we’ve had! Although I do worry about the lack of times people leave the pool all day if you know what I mean.... upstairs at the sonne club it was everything next level, service, drinks, food and smiles. Beatric took care of absolutely everything and I mean everything! This pool also had a hot tub on either side which was way too hot for us but lots of people were using it. Restaurants: We had the outdoor buffet style a couple times and it was great every time! It is shared seating if you’re a small couple but what better way to meet new folks. We had dinner at the Italian twice and the Chula vista outside area one night. Each place was amazing and the service was second to none. Breakfast every morning was outside at the veranda and is a must if you book club! Such a nice start to your day and once again service is top notch! We ordered room service a couple times and it is slow but to be expected, it was very good with lots of options. The food here is the best we’ve had at any all inclusive and they do the best to make everyone happy. Pool side they have cookouts with anything from fish to chicken or steak. A must is the fish tacos pool side, they were the best! 7th to 9th floor happy hour is a nice touch too as they had snacks like wings or finger food and drinks readily available with coffee or pastries in the mornings. Service: They must get a training seminar because we stayed at grand fiesta in Cabo and service there was incredible as well. Here though because it’s a smaller resort you get to interact more with the same group of staff. I really don’t like name dropping but these folks do one hell of a job from Arron in the veranda and 7th floor lounge to Raphael also at veranda and 9th floor lounge. Andreas at the pool bar was very welcoming, happy and such a good spirited guy. Oscar at the sonne club would never leave you hanging and they would bring you buckets of water or beer or both. Francisco, tip of the hat to you sir, you run a truly amazing resort! We will be back again!

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Nice Resort

The Resort was very clean and beautifully decorated and arranged. The grounds were well maintained and kept very clean including the bathrooms. The room was very nice and the ocean view was fantastic. Dining areas were very nice and food very good with the exception of the Asian Restaurant. Entertainment at night was okay but limited. The employees were all very friendly, courteous and nice. Would like to have had a better liquor selection ie. Corona or Pacifico in all areas of Resort.

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Average and Over Priced

Rooms were nothing special. Unlike most resorts, no liquor in the mini bar and only glasses of wine delivered to your room. Top shelf brands were not available at the bars. Grounds were clean. Virtually no evening entertainment, unless you count Bingo and a disc jockey in the main bar. We stayed 2 weeks. Not enough choice of restaurants. Meals were hit and miss. We dined 4 times at the Italian restaurant, service and food was good twice, the other 2 times were awful. Similar in the Asian rest [... read more]aurant. All staff were very pleasant and willing to give assistance. Room service was prompt but the menu was limited. For comparable cost, you can receive much better. However, many people we talked with have been returning to this resort for years.

Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun: Best mix of everything good!

My husband and I loved the great service we had with staff & managers, waiters & everyone. You could not have a less stressful vacation. I'm gluten-free and the chefs and waitstaff & managers of the restaurants all worked to give me great meals with many choices. I could always put together a solid meal from tbe buffet restaurant but the others were even better. Foodies won't be disappinted here. The desk staff were very good at customer service. The room was amazing - we got an ocean front suit [... read more]e with jaccuzi and it was amazing. Very clean & simple modern decore. We had a lot of fun in the game room playing ping pong, air hockey & pool until 10:30 one night. The singers in the lobby bar were really good. Drinks were the same weak drinks as other all-inclusives. The gift shop had great swimsuits & there's a really _good_ selection of fresh tasting ice creams and sorbets by the gift shop. The fitness dance class by the pool area was fun. The staff are the best thing about this place. I asked for a yoga mat for my room and the activities guy brought me one. The gym is small but better than most dinky hotel workout rooms. The spa massage I got was ok but I tend to get them for therapy not relaxation so I need more detail work fone than you get at the spas in Cancun but this was the best I've had of 5-6 in Cancun. There's was no hot steam in the steam room but a eucalyptus aroma vapor. The dry sauna was hot. The outdoor hot tub by the pool was not hot but honestly it was the only thing I saw off on this trip, and people were busy having fun everywhere so it wasnt missed except we do really enjoy the socialization of an outdoor hot tub. The fireshow was great! We hope to come back, and I really urge you to consider this place. It has just enough party fun without chaos or stupidity going on and enough class and good taste for those liking adult reserved fun. Good time for little kids but the place isnt full of screaming kids either. Perfect blend of all kinda of people, family friendly but great for a honeymoon.

Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun: Amazing time

The resort was so nice!! great view of the ocean and the pool was lovely. There were so many different food options throughout the day and great room service too! the bar tenders were great and we always had a drink coming!! thanks for a great stay.
