Slowly but surely, Los Cabos is coming back to life in the wake of Hurricane Odile. Approximately 50 percent of the Los Cabos region has had power restored, according to reports.
It is expected that 90 percent of power will be restored by early next week, said Enrique Calderon, commercial director for Fiesta Americana, which operates the Fiesta Americana Grand Los Cabos. Better still, Calderon said that all reports indicate that power to Los Cabos will be fully restored by the end of next week. "The progress they're making is really amazing," he said.
Calderon said the Fiesta Americana will remain closed through Nov. 14 while the company repairs damage, which, for the most part, is cosmetic.
"We have 30 percent of the rooms ready to use," he said, adding that the company is in the process of renovating the main lobby and some of the restaurants that sit on the beach.
On Nov. 15, the entire resort will be taken over by a large golf group that has reserved the property through Nov. 23. Calderon said the resort is now accepting booking from Nov. 23 and onward.
Fiesta Americana Grand Los Cabos was scheduled to begin a major renovation in December. "So we're starting it right now instead," he said.
It would appear that only a small number of hotels suffered from damage that went significantly beyond cosmetic concerns, Calderon said, adding that, for all intents and purposes, travelers visiting Los Cabos during the winter season will find an inventory of properties that have been freshly refurbished. "It's going to be a much better Los Cabos than it was before," he said.
