One of the most high-profile brands in Mexican hospitality is Grand Fiesta Americana, a name that now applies to 10 properties in the country.

While seven primarily cater to the business traveler, we are focusing on the three all-inclusive beachfront resorts that travel advisors will most likely recommend to their clients.

The three resorts – Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Cancun All Inclusive Spa Resort, Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos All Inclusive Golf & Spa and Grand Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta – are part of La Colección, itself a unit of the giant Posadas Vacation Group. La Colección has taken steps to upgrade and enhance the luxe features at the Grand Fiesta Americana properties.

Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach converted to an all-inclusive property in June 2020, while Grand Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta has been an all-inclusive since opening in 2016 and Los Cabos since 2013.

Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach All Inclusive Spa Resort

Managing Director Alberto Gurrola provides an overview.

This property is on a secluded stretch of beach in Cancun.

Number of suites: 602 oceanfront suites with private terraces and views of the Caribbean and a lagoon-like swimming pool.

Rates: $650-$3,000 per suite, double, including taxes, during high season and $360-$1,800 in low season.

Dining options: Seven, including the AAA Five-Diamond Le Basilic and the authentic Mexican restaurant La Joya, all available at no surcharge.

What type of traveler is attracted to the resort?

Most of our guests are in their mid-40s or 50-plus years old – affluent Americans with a household income of $150,000 per year who have the means to travel to discerning luxury properties that can deliver memorable experiences, whether traveling as a couple or with family, especially small children.

What is your new infinite club suite and its amenities?

Guests of the Infinite Club unlock exclusive access to the Infinite Lounge, private dining moments, priority dining reservations, upgraded beach activities, handcrafted day and evening activities, an expanded selection of premium bar offerings and babysitting services.

What is your single-favorite feature or amenity on the property?

Definitely our 40,000-square-foot Gem Spa, as it is fun to create unique experiences such as our Gourmet Gem Spa dinner. This starts when our guests check into the spa, wearing bathing suits and bathrobes, to start their journey with a 10-step hydrotherapy ritual, followed by 15 minutes of reflexology and relaxation. Then, we bring them straight to the table, set with tall taper candles, orchids, .925 silverware and signature Riedel glassware for a four-course spa signature menu with wine pairings, all while in the comfort of being in bathrobes and slippers.

What advice would you give to a U.S. travel agent who would like to promote and recommend your property to the clients?

"Location, location, location," as we are fortunate to have a private secluded beach with no vendors, no waves and with white powdery sand.

I’d also promote our more than 700 staff members who are eager to pamper every guest and to promptly resolve any minor issues with a smile and without questioning.

Unlike many other all-inclusive resorts, we do serve international name brands for liquor/cocktails. All our restaurants are a-la-carte. We also can serve a full menu at the beach or pool. We can bring "the beach restaurant" to guests’ lounge chairs or any of our thee swim-up bars.
