Walking off the all inclusive perks 😂.

We booked an all-inclusive package with ocean front room via Costco along with other family members.

The drinks and food quality is really good for being an all inclusive resort.

The food was delicious…don’t be afraid to try something new on your all-inclusive!

Our kids enjoyed the all-inclusive aspect and overall had a good time.

Did the all inclusive option for 3 days and it was the best way to do it.

Each room has a small fridge with beer, soda and candy which is part of the all inclusive.

It is rare to find this level of food quality at an all inclusive resort.

We stayed for 6 days with the all-inclusive package and enjoyed the beach, the pool and the entertainment.

We have enjoyed all the restaurants, food quality is among the best we have had at an all inclusive.

He cared for us like family, treated us like royalty from start to finish…I have been going to all inclusive hotels for over a decade and Hector gets it, 100%.

Another enjoyable trip here, would highly recommend for an all-inclusive vacation.

The food and drinks were well worth the price of the all-inclusive.

Breakfast buffet (including mimosas) alone was worth the all inclusive.

This was our 2nd trip
 doing all inclusive which I 100% recommend!

but I went golfing one morning at the neighbouring Cabo del sol which was a 10/10 golf experience.

There is a golf course on property (Cabo Del Sol),

I loved the close proximity (5 min shuttle) to the Desert and Ocean golf courses at Cabo del Sol.

We really enjoyed our massages at the Spa and a beautiful golf course at the Cabo Del Sol Ocean Golf Course.

The Grand Fiesta property is located in Cabo del Sol, a private/protected area full of resorts and timeshares.

We played golf on the ocean and desert courses of Cabo del Sol.

We played golf twice at the Cabo Del Sol Ocean Course which is part of the larger complex shared by the Sheraton hotel.

Transpeninsular, Cabo del Sol, 23410 Los Cabos, B.C.S., Mexico

Arrival /Departure Comments:
-----------------------------------------
Our arrival and departure were handled in a very professional manner.

He hustled all day long taking impeccable care of us and many other hotel guests on a crazy busy day!

Josè, Victor, Daniel and Juan took amazing care of us at the beach and the pool with drinks and lunch.

+ The staff/service did a great job that we were taken care of

He made my vacation the best and made sure we were always taken care us.

We will definitely be back becuase of how well he took care of us and the serive he provided me.

Thank you for taking care of us during our vacation.

Azália checked us in and took care of us.

Abraham ,Javier, ulisis our waitor at breakfast, Bryan by the pool, Nicole from the pool and the black lemon gave us the best care and experience they were very attentive greated us with a smile and care like we knew them for years.

He is at the adult pool and completely cares about your needs  Victor Manuel!!! !

She is so kind and truly cares about the guests.

* Bryan, the waiter at the member's pool, for always going the extra mile to take care of everyone!

Thank you for taking such good care of my sweet girl!

Jose, Porfino and all the other amazing Pool and beach staff ensuring we were taken care of and pampered.

Management is way more concerned with getting you into a timeshare than taking care of guest concerns.

Alejandro always made sure our entire group was taken care of, continuously checking on us if we needed anything, and making sure we got the best ocean view/spot while hanging down at the pool deck.

Martha was our waitress and she took such good care of us.

Alex Santos and Felipe took care of us in the morning for breakfast all

Hector went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of.

He took such amazing care of us on the beach!

He took care of us each day and definitely made the trip memorable for all of us.

+The fried octopus at the mexican restaurant was great.

We enjoyed a magic, mystery & comedy show, listened to a mariachi band and watched a traditional Mexican Folklórico show on the beach.

From the wonderful shows like Michael Jackson & Elvis to daily water aerobics, to the truly fabulous Mexican night and other fun events, the entertainment staff at this resort really shines!!

She entertainer everyone during an evening dinner with incredible authentic Mexican cuisine.

To all at the Fiesta Americana Los Cabos, it is always like coming home to a true Mexican family!

Thank you Marco for your hospitality and Mexican coffee as well!

You have to REALLY like seafood and Mexican food if you’re coming here.

- Ceviche restaurant was very good, the Mexican restaurant was DELICIOUS.

The other thing to say is that they do a much better job with Mexican or American food than they do with other cuisines.

There is a room with AC (that becomes Mexican restaurant at night) that you can sit down for breakfast

But overall we had a great time and the events were amazing (by the beach Mexican party and 4th of July).

Michael Jackson, Mexican Fiesta, Brenda and others performing at fire pit, we went to the magic show twice as we were in for 9 nights.

We were especially thankful for Marco who made us delicious Mexican coffee.

Danny and Nester served Mexican coffee at La Bodega.

Food I would say is 7 out of 10 for a sushi place at a Mexican resort.

Chef Armando Martinez in the Mexican restaurant and Chef Armando Martinez in the Italian restaurant made us feel at home.

He topped off our dinner with a fabulous show by making us Mexican Coffee!

Best steaks I’ve had on a resort, incredible Mexican wine selection and the outside seating has amazing views!

however, look at the price differences of booking directly with a company though.

I asked again what the price was and was told the same thing that the price was $45 US dollars.

Still would not recommend the sushi restaurant as a service as second rate,

We were put into a room with loud construction that went on each day we were there until 6:00 p.m.  We were looking forward to a relaxing, enjoyable time and paid premium dollars for the all inclusive resort.

In the end, when I refused to pay this erroneous charge, the staff member told me he agreed that it was not right, and had me write a statement saying that I refused to pay the extra charge.

And very confused why they wouldn’t book 3 more nights at the same rate-ish we paid. Crazy.

Cons -  is the cost of the All-Inclusive for those not staying in the hotel, and it is away from town.

food is basically something you would find at a trailer park buffet unless you pay extra to upgrade your menu !

Way overpriced for what you get in return!

The staff specially at the pool ceviche restaurant area is terrible, specially victor and the pool manager, here is the reasons why I do this review to this hotel: 

1) Victor and the pool manager kept bothering my group asking for payment immediately because we didn’t have the bracelet active for the whole inclusive deal (We were aware our bracelet wasn’t active for that day to have the same drinks and food including, we did not refused to pay for the service,

but the water is cold
-The menus have prices on them which was confusing.

The only thing that was a bit frustrating was that there was barely any music being played through out the resort (we wished it has more party vibes at times) and that after asking the front desk for more waters, they stop at 3 and said we needed to pay for the extra waters ..

but for EVERY dinner meal to have to pay extra for non special items that’s ridiculous!

At the moment, you have to pay extra if you are in the all-inclusive

but instead were sent a link that required payment,  which we did, when we arrived and told them that we paid, we were told to make up for the error we'd be comped the extra $30pp charge for dinner at the steak house.

You pay the same price as you would if they had the actualy spa.

Five of us stayed in a connecting villa (2 bedrooms total) with awesome views of the ocean.

Fiesta Americana resort is amazing, the whale watching this time of year is breathtaking, the restaurants are always accommodating and the views of the ocean can’t be beat, our son really enjoyed the Fiesta Kids Club, the girls there are so kind and helpful, Dylan was excited every day to return to play at the kids club.

Resort was clean, grounds were well cared for and the view was spectacular.

We especially enjoyed having lunch at the cevecheria and the gorgeous views.

We are also fond of the Sushi Sky Bar with its amazing terrace setting and views. Several nights a week we enjoyed the shows at Black Limon – Michael Jackson remains a fav (boy can he dance!)

+ The balcony provided great views of the ocean.

Can’t beat the sunrises in the morning and the tranquility of the place just before bedtime.

The accommodations and views are amazing!

The rooms are great and the pools and views are exceptional.

The balcony isn't see through so once you sit, you cannot see the ocean as there is a block of concrete where the balcony is, and there is a giant palm tree that blocks any view.

Nice variety of restaurants to eat at, plenty of pools and fun things to do 
We enjoyed all the activities, food, views, sunrises, etc.

What we found was the room (we had a one bedroom with ocean view) was very spacious and had a great view.

Good food, great service and the best views!

Wonderful, friendly staff, superb food, views of the pool & ocean from your room and fun/unique entertainment each night.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa and the room was very nice with a great view.

TIP: If you decide to stay here, bring water shoes for everyone in the family so that you can enjoy the ocean.

Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos All Inclusive Golf & Spa

price

all-inclusive

mexican restaurant

care

It is located within the gated community of Cabo Del Sol, so security is excellent.

Excellent massage at the spa, close proximity to Cabo Del Sol for golf.

If you like to golf, Cabo Del Sol has two courses so you don't have to go far.

Additionally, the resort is in a secure facility (Cabo Del Sol)…I felt completely safe taking my 4-mile walk on the grounds and neighboring resorts each day.

I’ve returned to Hacienda Del Mar several times and enjoy the variety of restaurants on site as well as the walking distance to Cabo Del Sol, where an excellent Sunday brunch is offered along with other dining experiences.

Excellent hotel with all inclusive stay, efficient clean rooms, great breakfast, Sushi Bar, wonderful theme nights at the Resort.

I would recommended the Cabo Del Sol Golf Course Clubhouse which is next door to the hotel for dinner.

Haciendo del Mar is beautiful and safe, secure at Cabo del Sol on the corridor within a gated developement..

It was a wonderful four weeks in the lush gardens of the upper pool area and 30 days of great walks throughout Cabo Del Sol.

1 issue the hotel let BMW take over the pools, beach and Cabo Del Sol golf course.

Beach front are so cleaning with stunning scenery  and the Cabo Del Sol Golf Courses are only 5 minutes away from our room.

Located in the upscale Cabo Del Sol, its fabulous in every way and gorgeous!

Great things to do and wonderful restaurants to eat at on sight  and 2 wonderful golf courses to play at Cabo del Sol.

Cabo Del Sol Golf Course is right next door and we had 2 fabulous meal there the setting is AMAZING!

Add in golf at the Ocean or Desert Course at Cabo del Sol (within the development), and it can't be beat!

This is a uniquely set property as it is set far from the “corridor” in the Cabo Del Sol development.

Cabo Del Sol( one of the best course in MX) is here too.

Of course they had to track with reciepts so they gave us one and charged 5 extra beers on our ticket.

They want to charge over $100k to buy into the larger units, and charge a maintenance fee of $2,500 per year, just so you can stay here for 1 week a year.

While I was  at the hotel, for 4 days you couldn’t charge anything to your room. I also couldn’t get a credit card to work (signal down for all restaurants for days!)

The hotel placed daily holds on my credit card,

I sat next to an owner at the pool, he ordered two shots of don Julio and when he got the bill he called the manager over and asked if he was actually charged $20 per shot he stated he had been coming for ten years and this was insane.

We asked the front desk manager to credit the meal and we were told NO without any explanation.

Their onsite souvenir vendors were insanely expensive, shampoo / conditioner were just left on the shower floor, zero body lotion provided in room and, my favorite, the ATM charged $6.95 per transaction (expected that), and then, another 6.95% charge of your total withdrawal.

but, it's no Four Seasons which is what they are charging for food and drinks.

We can be charged anything and have no way to quickly verify it is correct.

Further, they added fraudulent food and beverage charges to our bill.

At the moment of writing this they have processed $300 on my credit card without me checking out yet.

When we checked out there was a charge on our bill for an $85 “intimacy bag”…which we didn’t use.

To top that off, Pedro (a presumable manager) said we were not treating them well by questioning the additional charges.

Kept having problems with key cards for the door.

I figured since I did arrive the next day I wouldn't be charged for the first day I missed.

USD and MX$ are both accepted and you ultimately don’t really need to have cash as you can add tips to your account billed to your credit card.

That said, if I was paying the prices they were charging guests, I would be pretty disappointed.

Said that this was operating procedure and everyone gets charged. I said "twice?"

When we checked out, the hotel wanted to charge us for a restaurant.

Downgraded my room out of a Wedding block of 50 rooms for my family’s wedding stay there and the hotel would not give us any credit for the price difference, not even a free breakfast or drink!

The resort has very nice views, very nice ground, clean rooms and very polite and friendly staff.

The grounds have lots of palm trees, beautiful gardens throughout the resort.

She stood her ground and reminded me they were a business and don't compensate guest.

The grounds were beautiful and very well maintained.

Beautiful beach, multiple whale sightings, the grounds are beautiful and hubby even got a back massage at the pool!

Please note, the grounds, rooms were immaculate and staff very attentive (as always)!

The grounds of the property are always well kept and pools are wonderful.

The whole grounds are manicured and spotless.

Service is terrific, people are friendly, grounds are impeccable.

Staff and grounds were excellent as usual.

They loved the hospitality, the large number of pools and restaurants, the beautiful grounds and the authentic Mexican feel of the villas.

The grounds at Cabo Del Sol used to be a great place to walk with wonderful ocean views,

Ambiance is good, grounds are clean and good , people are nice and helpful from check in to bartender and waiters .

The grounds are lush with exquisite foliage.

Armondo and Benjamin waited on us and the are the best!😁
This is an authentic Mexical vacation at a family oriented reeort.

It breaks my heart to write this as this has been our family destination vacation for so long:(

We had a glorious vacation at Hacienda Del Mar.

They say that the staff is what makes or breaks a business.

All are wonderful and made our vacation memorable.

We just had the most delicious Brunch at Tomato’s Restaurant 
From Fresh Fruit, ample Bacon,
Many very tasty local dishes 
& fresh Pastries 
This is topped up with my holiday Favourite Unlimited 
Mimosas & great coffee!

I would recommend this vacation to anyone

I purchased a four-day all- inclusive vacation through Travelzoo for an "Ocean View Room."

They really make sure you're taken care of to have the best vacation experience.

If you want the perfect authentic Mexican vacation, Hacienda Del Mar is a great choice!

Everyone is so welcoming, so friendly, so helpful, that it enhances the entire vacation experience!

Excellent experience, thanks to all personal, specially at tortugas and sirenita restaurant,everyone was the best ,great vacation ,because of those guys ,we're coming back thanks guys for treating people like family,we'll see U 2024.👍

Thank you all for the fabulous vacation experience!

but it ends up to be 2.5 hours and wrecks a good vacation day.

The staff throughout hotel adds value and gives us the experience we are looking for when we go on our annual vacation.

It is a buffet offering the same dishes (Mexican) every night.

Girasoles was a great, primarily Mexican menu spot situated atop one of the residence buildings.

Loved aqua aerobics every day, Mexican bingo, cooking classes… everything👍🏻 From stuff specifically Romeo, Ricardo and a chef of De Cortez Restaurant Guzman, remember their proficiency !

This property is for adults who want to relax, walk around the property and feel like a Mexican hacienda owner.

We chose this hotel because of its great reviews, the location and it’s traditional Mexican architecture.

The meet and great to welcome the guest was nice touch with Mexican theme of margaritas, beer, and appetizers with dancing competition for local prizes.

The property’s architecture and the layout will have you believe you are in an enchanting Mexican folklore.

We loved Mexican Bingo/Latoria, aqua HIIT workout and  Zumba and cooking classes.

Tomates Mexican night was especially good!

Ricardo made card games, Mexican Bingo, and pool activities a fun time.

Place was beautiful old Mexican town charm and the staff was great  grounds are spotless and they allow animals   Nice

Resort is charming with traditional Mexican decor and has everything you need on-site.

Our room was large and, unlike lots of Mexican resorts - the beds were comfy.

The architecture is astounding, you feel like you’re walking around a quaint Mexican village … it’s just stunning here.

Loved the variety in the buffet as well, with steak, Italian, Mexican, salads and desserts!

Everything is grossly overpriced for the quality.

If you have more than 1 person with you it is cheaper to get an Uber.

The pricing isn't what you expect for Mexico more like LA.

The only all-inclusive limitations the are not covered are the coffee shop, the 24/7 room service, and the De Cortez restaurant and Pitahayas restaurant where several items on each menu were marked as having an additional fee of 320 pesos if you wanted to order them.

the food at the resort was greatly overpriced,

The cost of drinks and food is out of proportion for the quality .My husband and I and several others we spoke with lost a full day due to gastrointestinal problems related to the buffets which are prevalent.

Perhaps what is most disappointing is the fact that all of the food prices seem to be way out of  proportion to other locations.

but in my opinion, its at the cost of customer service.

If I could just rate the people who support the guests, there is no doubt I would provide a 5 rating (or better if it was available).

We stay here often and the price of food and drinks have gotten out of control and we had to monitor our bill.

We traveled this year throughout Europe and nothing was as expensive as HDM.

You have to order room service at a cost.

Restaurant food and drinks are extremely expensive and the “1 hour 15 minute” timeshare talk to get free stuff was more like 4 hours.

I was given the wrong type from what I paid for in my contract in in my maintenance.

You will be forced to pay $5 for a bottle in the store.

Pitahayas, in my opinion, took a turn for the worse the past few years with terrible menu options and ridiculous prices for what felt like very little food.

Watching sunrise is one of the highlight of my trip, it was breathtaking!!!

We stayed in a 3 bedroom sea view missiones suite.

The food is great, the views are spectacular, the pools are plentiful, and the rooms are very comfortable.

The view was beautiful and the staff was very friendly

Service here is excellent by all the staff, Dining was great with 5 different restaurants
to choose from and amazing ocean views included with your dining experience
There is 5 pools to choose from, 4 have great ocean views, Wonderfull to lay there watching and listening to the ocean roar.

When we arrived they told us we had a garden view.
