A little heads up 'tip' for you folks wanting to take a winter vacation somewhere warm, but haven't decided on a destination ?
Linda & I just returned from a week long stay at an adults only, all inclusive resort just 15 minutes south of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and I just felt the need to pass on this info as a matter of interest.
And just so you know, Linda & I have traveled a great deal over the years, and stayed at a good number of quality resorts, or all-inclusives, in several different countries, but have never run into anything as top quality as this place:
It's called the Grand Fiesta Americana, a 1 year new, 3 tower resort right on the beach, that is rated 5 Star (someone on Trip Advisor even rated it a 6 -Star - LOL), that is very competitively priced ( translation: affordable)
Here are some of the features:
- Modern - All glass & marble throughout, and as clean as a whistle !
Very impressive overall.
- All rooms (except Penthouse type suites) are of the same size & layout, all facing the ocean, and all with a good-sized , furnished balcony ( & some with Jacuzzi tub). They are 3 categories of 'suites' - 'Junior', 'Deluxe Junior', and 'Grand Junior'.
- Higher rooms - 'Grand Suites' - are priced more dearly but have great sea views on these topmost floors - 11 to 14 ( the latter being the uppermost floor) have access to the 'Grand Club', an exclusive, hardly utilized haven serving lovely breakfast & lunches to only those on these 4 floors - also serving cocktails & hors d'oeuvres till 10 pm).
- Staff service is impeccable throughout the resort.
- There are 7 restaurants, all serving excellent meals. The Mexican, Asian, and Italian restaurants have superb menus and the presentation is nothing short of outstanding ! Even room service has very good food, and the all day buffet is the best we have ever seen, with an unbelievably wide variety of excellent choices.
We can't say enough good things about this unique place, and certainly plan to return sometime.
Google it if you're interested - we feel you won't be disappointed if you try it. Just had to pass this on to you fellow members.
