Fiesta Americana Grand Coral Beach Cancun Resort & Spa, Cancun

All in all It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at SweetHotelDeals. N e t They usually have some pretty good deals on there.

Loved the friendly service, food was excellent, and is close to shops & restaurants. BUT THE SUN STOPS SHINING ON THE BEACH AROUND 3PM DUE TO THE POSITION OF THE HOTEL. We were there at the end of December and this is our first time staying on that side of Cancun. You have to pay to use the Internet and Fitness Center there, among other things. All items for sale at the hotel are super expensive so we walked a block to OXXO gas station and got some goodies for very cheap. I would go back because the rooms and the service were stellar - but I personally would like more sun in my day. Oh - I am a very picky eater and the breakfast buffet was awesome!

I have been lucky enough to stay at some of the nicest places in the world and I would say this place rates high in the not so expensive places. Rooms were wonderful, staff very attentive. Beaches clean and well groomed.Walking distance to many attractions, down town shopping and restaurants. Drinks at the pool at a reasonable rate. I would highly recommend this as a destination for romantic getaway or a family vacation. You will not be disappointed.

After doing some extensive research to plan my trip, we decided upon the Fiesta Americana Grand Coral Beach. Our goal was to stay at the nicest hotel possible, ideally on the North Side of the peninsula since the beaches on the north side have the most calm beaches and the most beautiful water. The Fiesta Americana does have a fantastic beach and pool area. As a matter of fact, of the 7 or 8 hotels I visited while there, it does appear to have the best pool area and beach of any hotel in Cancun. The water is calm, there are four to five pool segments with swim-up bars, and you can rent wave runners on-site. This is the best part of the Fiesta Americana. Now, for the not-so-great. The hotel is beautiful but rather lifeless. At night, there is nothing going on at this hotel, it is dead. If you want to stay at the hotel during the evening to drink and relax, you will be disappointed. I have been to funerals more lively. Why the outside bars close so early makes no sense at all. There is a three-piece jazz trio that plays at night, however, they must feel lonely because no one is there listening. Secondly, while the staff is very professional, with their suits and smile-less attitudes, they are more suited to a business-oriented hotel than a resort. Rather cold personnel in-fact. Thirdly, expect to dole out alot, and I do mean ALOT of money if you plan on eating and drinking here. For a simple breakfast for two expect to spend $50 to $60 USD. I also ate at their small cafe one night since we spent the day out and wanted to just stick around. The food was very marginal, average at best, and we spent $80 dollars for a slice of pizza, sandwich, two beers, glass of wine and dessert. You've got to be kidding! At the swim-up bar I would recommend sticking to beer. The margaritas and daiquiris are so week that after drinking three or four I felt nothing at all! Again, $12 for virgin drinks?? Our room was nice and the view was great. Again, with a big caveat. Our first night we were there we noticed that our sheets were damp. Try sleeping in damp sheets, rather nasty. We dealt with it that night and informed the front desk. Well, apparently that didn't work,. For the next four nights we had to tolerate damp bedding. Here I am at a five-star hotel at have to sleep on a beach towel and cover myself with an extra blanket provided in the closet! The last warning.... When you arrive they will call you and let you know there is a 'Welcome Package' at the conceirge desk waiting for you. Well, if you want a hard-sell speech on investing in a Time Share pick it up. I would recommend not bothering. Take my review for what's it's worth. If I had to do it again I would stay at the Ritz Carlton, Le Blanc, Riu, or other hotel where you could actually enjoy some night activities while you're there. This is a vacation after all. The Riu is also on the North Side of the Peninsula so the beach should also be good. My summary, too expensive and uptight for a vacation spot!

My husband and I visit Cancun every summer and only stay at FA Coral Beach. We once made reservations at another hotel and as soon as we walked in, realized we had made a mistake and wanted to stay at Coral Beach. We called Coral beach and right away transferred our reservation with no problem to one of their rooms. The staff in excellent and will help you in anything you need. We love it. The rooms are awesome and the food is the best, plus their location makes it easy to walk to all the popular sites. I would 100 percent recommend this hotel to anyone. You will not regret it. AWESOME!!!

The hotel charged into my credit card prior my arrival; I paid for the traveler' checks of the full amount for my staying, but the hotel is not willing to credit the amount back to my credit card. I have to call my credit card company to dispute the charge. And for my staying, the hotel wants me to pay the amount in full on the first day so that they will give me the room key, but later I found out that they charge me the bellstaff not only one time, but everyday when I stay there. The manager promised that they will refund the money when I check out, but the manger has not indicated this in my bill and the staff does not know the situation. I have to rush to the airport and have no time to explain the situation to that staff anymore. They are really dishonest. Don't stay there... A lot of hotels around that area are cheaper, nicer, and honest. Don't waste your money and stay in the place where you cannot trust.

We have been going to Cancun for 20 years now and only stay at the Fiesta Americana Coral Beach! It has the most beautiful pools, friendly service, gorgeous rooms with a view of the bech and excellent accomodations you cannot beat. We have visited other places, but if you want to be totally satisfied stay at the Fiesta Americana, Coral Beach!

Hubby and I went last year for Vday. Enjoyed it. Great weather for February. About 85* inthe day and about 60* in the evening. Hotel is deserving of its ***s Did not like the timeshare sales people in the lobby. That was the only -. % minute walk to mini mall. Walking distance to Party zone, 5-10$ taxi ride to downtown market area.

The staff is absolutely great! the htel itself is beautiful, elegant, clean, and the views are great. Makes your experience awesome, and unforgettable

The hotel staff was great and friendly.The room had a great view and was very clean and the beach was impressive.I've been around the world to places like Phuket Thailand, Townsville Australia,Puerto Rico, Waiikiki Beach and this hotel has by far the nicest beach I've ever seen.
