Fiesta Americana Villas Cancun Rating: 3.5 Pearls

Hotel Zone, Cancun

Pros

• In the Hotel Zone, within walking distance to dining
• On a white-sand beach (but tiny in high tide)
• One, two-, and three-bedroom villas great for families and groups
• Nice-sized, clean rooms with generic but contemporary decor, flat-screen TVs, and a furnished balcony or terrace
• All rooms have at least a fully stocked kitchenette
• Nice fitness center with modern machines and a sauna
• Large family pool with volleyball net and a kiddy pool
• Great kids' club with lots of daily activities, and a playground
• Decent spa and beauty salon

Cons

• Internet available in the lobby only
• Only one expensive restaurant and a lobby bar
• Annoying time-share presentations upon arrival
• Not all rooms have a stovetop (but all have a microwave)
• Ageing property with some flaking walls

Bottom Line

Compared to neighboring properties, the 179-room Fiesta Americana is a small hotel that offers a great value for families. It's less party-oriented than most of the Hotel Zone properties, and has a wide range of activities and amenities designed for travelers with kids: a kiddy pool, a playground, a kids’ club; plus large, clean, multi-room suites with at least a kitchenette with a mini-fridge and a microwave. The large pool, the nice beach, the spa, the spacious fitness center with sauna, and the central location are perks as well. But it’s an aging property, so expect a few flaking walls, as well as only the most basic resort amenities for adults.
