Question

Going to Fiesta Americana Resort in Cozumel - how is the beach??? ....and hotel?

Answer 1

The hotel is nice and the beds very comfortable but quite a distance from downtown, which is a problem in the evenings because the dinner buffet is nothing special. I would recommend renting a car. There is also no internet service there which I found to be an issue (I go on business about 6 times a year, and usually stay in another hotel downtown). There are a couple of small beaches on the other side of the road within walking distance which are quite pleasant and there is a small, upscale beach club (PLAYA UVAS) about 1/2 mile away which is a very nice place to spend the day (the food is great). You are also not far from the big beach clubs like Mr Sanchos, Playa Mia and Paradise Beach - and Chankannab Park is close too.

Please remember though that if you are planning on snorkeling, that area got hit hard by hurricane Wilma a couple of years ago, so the reef nearby got pretty damaged

The breakfast is good and is in the small restaurant on the other side of the road by the beach, so if you have small kids dont let them go on their own.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

Hi,

I didn't care for the Fiesta Americana. The rooms are very well arranged. Like any Hotel the mini bar will cost you a lot. Food and service was fair at best. There is no beach to speak of. you'll have to walk a little ways.

The cab ride is $6.00 one way downtown.

My last vacation to Cozumel was in July and we stayed at the Park Royal Hotel. "The BEST", the food is excellent and you have you choice of two restaurants for dinner, you have to make reservations, however, it's very easy. The main dining room is excellent as well.

Good Luck.
