Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta is a great escape for the winter blues. Fiesta Americana used to be a standard beach hotel, but recently it has changed to an all inclusive and it’s an ok option for a smaller resort.
The amenities are nice, pool is nice, beach is nice… good assortment of chair positions, both at the pool and beach, the pool entertainment was limited to a few pool based exercises… kinda boring
The main complaint I have is restaurant atmosphere. The food at all locations was very good. The breakfast and lunch options are outdoor only seating. Having been in PV in the summer, the humidity is crazy high, like shower soaking high, which means too meals in soaking wet clothes. Not my idea of fun. Bring on dinner… only two of 4 choices are indoors, same story… later time…
That being said, rooms were nice, drinks were healthy… not really… but I don’t think we’ll be making another trip to fiesta Americana.

My Daughter and my Mom and I traveled for a girls get-​away. I have stayed at other all-​inclusive resorts where a reservation was required at dinner, and only allowed one evening of finer dining. This was a nice change, as several options are available for dining. The room was clean, staff always very helpful. In fact, it took a minute to get used to the service. My negative was the timeshare proposition and the night buffets never really appealed to me so we ate in the restaurants every night and it was awesome! Ocean swimming isn’t really safe unless you’re experienced, but you can certainly walk in the water.

I loved our stay at F.A. We came with the extended family-​kids included so we opted for a family friendly resort. They have so many restaurants to choose from (which were way better than the buffets), great customer service and comfortable rooms. The gym gets pretty crowded in the morning so opt for going mid-​day.
They also have a baby sitting service and we were happy to leave the little ones behind for a quiet adult dinner! Back to reality Until next time.

My wife and I have been staying here for the last few years. Emilio and Raphael (Pool waiters) are very personable. very professional and extremely good at their job. Raphael remembered us from last year and greeted us with a huge smile and hug… It was flattering for us that he remembered us. by name.
I wish i could mention everyone by name… but everyone is extremely nice and helpful
One negative that I can think of is that now that it is all inclusive. they only have tap beer… we used to love our buckets of Corona… but overall the place is great

Loved my visit to Fiesta Americana, an all-​inclusive hotel. The food and drinks were wonderful. The service was great. (Look for Ary at the front desk. And Louisa, Ignacio, Jorge and many more at the restaurants and bars.) Lovely views, pool, bay/​ocean. I met travelers from Mexico and the US. If you go through a travel agent they will warn you about the time share groups. They are lined up at the airport also. Look for taxi drivers there. Bring cash, exchange it at the hotel.

stayed Sept.11−14,2015…let me start on the good side, employees are great but the food and drinks are not good… was told they just started all inclusive… that is no excuse… I been to Fiesta Americana in Cancun and the food is good… do not say you are new on all inclusive, you are FA and should know how… drinks are bad… food is not good, buffet breakfast is just ok… no bacon they have sausage and found out you have to ask for bacon coz they do not serve it on the buffet which I find very odd… breakfast only one choice the buffet, lunch you have 3 choices, the ceviche, the hotdog/​burger/​fastfood and the buffet area turn into
lunch area. all food are just ok… nothing that I can say OMG this is so good… I can find better Mexican food in California than here… chips and salsa not good either…
as for my room, my small frig is not cold and in the shower, the water does not flow good, you have to turn off the shower and let if flow or else your feet will be under dirty water… complained it and still not fix but the frig got little cold but not cold enough for a good soda or beer. need to complain 2 times
dinner…2 choices only. both are just ok
I hoping they will get better in time

I really liked this spot. I hated the sneaky time share rep who met us as we just checked in. I really was expecting a welcome drink. It was pretty annoying to get stuck listening to him and waste the morning at their presentation. However, the hotel itself was great! The buffet was delicious and varied and their cevicheria is a can’t miss. The bars were great. The rooms were clean and spacious. Really liked the bar and wait staff. So happy with the proximity to the malecon and the beaches were beautiful.

Phenomenal place. Everyone is here to make sure you’re having a great vacation. Rafael in the pool area waiter and Jesus the bartender are top notch people. Ian in the Japanese restaurant is number 1. We will be back

My second home is missed dearly today love the fiesta alot even though carlos gave us a few miss directions the fiesta is by far the best place to stay in puerto vallarta i highly recomend going near the entrance the theater by the pool for the after noon paint in with karina is is so fun missing it already plus all the food is really good and i recomend the outdoor adventure zipline excursion…

We stayed here Christmas 2013. Nice & modern hotel. Wonderful staff! Free WIFI too! Hotel food was ugh! Nice small bar in the lounge area for late evening drinks. Live music one night while we were there.
The hotel was nice & located close to town. We walked a couple of blocks to Starbucks every morning for my fix.
Rooms were nice & clean. No safe. Hotel has one for your use.
I wanted to come back here this year for Christmas, but the rates had doubled. We stayed at the Villa Del Palmer (2 hotels down) instead … Terrible hotel!

The view was amazing and loved the trip. That being said avoid the timeshare stuff. This resort had good but costly massages, pro tip get coupons or deals.

This review is long over due, I stayed at this hotel for my trip back in August, and what a great experience! Everything was clean, beautiful, the people were friendly, food was great, and the views from the rooms was great. We felt like the hotel was just far enough away from the center of the city to keep the noise down, but close enough that we can take a quick taxi cab ride in for about 5 bucks and there is always a taxi waiting at the hotel to take you anywhere you want to go.
Over all, I would highly recommend a stay at this hotel!

Will never ever ever stay here again! It used to be one of my favorite hotels. The service at the pool was slow & it wasn’t busy. The worst part was @ nights! There is a club near by & we could hear the music from 11pm-​6am!!! Loud thumping music! We complained @ the front desk & they said their is nothing they could do! So for 8 nights we had no good sleep!!! This hotel is also converting into an all inclusive, not worth it.

Price was not bad. If you are traveling with 3 people and your reservation states just one person you will be charged for that 3^rd person. It’s a nice place to stay, clean it’s by the beach. They have a gym a nice restaurant by the pool. View is awesome even from the 2^nd floor. Free wifi. It’s a 10 min taxi ride to downtown. Bus about 30 – 45 min bus ride. Hotels offer taxi rides buses you can get outside of the hotel. Love the straw hut look in the middle the lobby. Workers are friendly.

This a very nice hotel & Resorts. The Service is awesome. And it’s very clean.
They have a full staff that keeps this place clean. Oh boy the pool is very big. with a swim up bar. Where you can order any kind of drink. Which you can charge to your room. But the Coffe Shop, Gift staor and the other two stores you have to payin Cash. Make sure that you have some Peso in hand to pay. You can exchange your money at the check in desk. This hotel has 1 pool, 3 bars. The Sun Set Bar, Bikeni bzar, I forget the name of the other bar. They also have a fitness center which you can charge it to your room. You can get online for free at the Bussines Center. And they also have some computers in the loby by the bar. When you check in they give you your room card and a card wich you give to the person in charge of the towels. When you return your towels you get back that card. So you have to do this each time you want to get a towel. They also have a very nice Breakfast where you can get the hot and the cold bar. Or you can jjust order from the menu. You can charge it to your room. The Cold bar has very nice pastrys, bread Fruit. They also have fresh OJ. The Hot bar has Sauage, and other stuff and you can order an Omlet the way you want.
There’s a Tour Desk where you can make some Tour. I recamend Zip Lineing. It’s awesome tour. And it’s worth the money. I forget how much it cost. You zip line in the woods tree by tree. They do take your pictures. So at the end you can look at your picture and if you like them you can by them. I also recamend Jet Sking. It’s so much fun. There are differnt prices for the Jet Ski. So check with that person on how much does it cost. Because you might get a better deal with another person. There are some Venders that comes along the beach selling stuff you don’t have to buy any thing. Just shake your head and don’t make eye contac with the vendor. And they are not allowed on the hotel property unless you ask them to come over. This place has 2 Restaurant where you can dine for dinner and you can charge it to tour room.
The staff is very freindly and they also seak Engish.
