Just returned back from a week at the Fiesta Americana Villas and was very impressed by the property. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and check in was quick and efficient. We wanted a room overlooking the pool and was granted that request as well. The hotel overall was very clean and fairly modern. It happens to split as a timeshare property as well but we were not once hassled to attend any type of presentation. Our room was located on the 16th floor with a great view of the city and amazing sunsets. The room contained a King bed and a pull out sofa bed along with a mini kitchenette that contained a small fridge, sink and utenzils. This was a great feature as we stocked the fridge full of water, soda and beer. There was a TV with mostly spanish channels but had a few english ones to suffice. The only downfall which has been mentioned before is that the pool side of the hotel is more noisy due to the bars along the beach blarring their music till 5 or 6 am on most nights. It was not unbearable though. The pool area of the hotel was very very nice. The lounge chairs were snapped up early on the weekends but there was lots to choose from during the week when it wasn't as busy. The lower pool bar had 2 for 1 drink specials from 11 am - 6 pm all week when we needed a cold drink around the pool. The hotel had a couple restaurants as well but we did not use them due to the variety of other restaurants surrounding the hotel. This hotel is situated perfectly in the middle of the bay and close to all the action in Acapulco. An ideal choice!!! All in all I was impressed by the hotel and its staff. Everyone was very helpfull and friendly and I wouldn't hessitate staying in the future. Overall a solid 3.5 star by Can/US standards. Enjoyed our stay!!!

We have just returned from a week of R&R in Acapulco and had a one bedroom suite which was more than we needed but were happy to use none the less. Check in was quick and the bellboy beat us to the room! The suite was clean and well maintained throughout our stay by very sweet housekeeping staff. The property was clean and there were lots of places to hang out in the pool/beach areas. There were chaises in full sun, partial shade and full shade and all choices were as close or as far from the pool action as you wanted. The 2 restaurants were just adequate but with so many choices outside the hotel, who cares. Our only disappointment was the noise from the nearby bars but after a couple of days we were soon used to it and found that the air conditioners did a pretty good job of masking it. Rooms on the other side were quieter but the view wasn't as good as our 15th floor vista. Perhaps rooms on lower floors would have been quieter too since the bars are all open air establishments. The timeshare folks tried to have us book an appointment but after a firm but polite no we were left alone. This place is a good solid 3 star establishment by Canadian/US standards but by Mexican standards is one of the better ones!

after staying at two other Acapulco hotels and not being satisfied i decided to give the fiesta Americana a shot. i would be staying for 9 days so i wanted to be happy.i called ahead to let them know i have a friend who lives there who will be staying with me.since he will be driving me from place to place and he will be showing me around and they said no problem.with no hesitation.considering the two other hotels would not let me have a guest from there stay with me.from past experience due to crime i guess.so when me and my guest arrived we checked in and where greeted by the valet/bellboy and directed to the front desk.and they where very respectful considering we where young.so after being greeted by a very nice professional front desk clerk(MAURICIO BANOS) he was very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs and most of all friendly we checked in and got to our room731 the room was flawless clean newly remodeled and had a great view of condessa beach the house keeping kept our room clean every day even when we didn't need or want it we parked everyday and all the valet guys where outgoing and helpful regarding any advice etc we used the 3 pools often and ordered pool side eats the staff was helpful as well and attentive to all our needs especially (Carlos)and the guys by the lower pool all nice and outgoing and even the security went out of there way to help people when needed the whole staff are first class in every way i was very happy with every thing and how we where treated regardless of age looks or color they will have a repeat customer as long as i go to Acapulco and i go every year i even told a friend of mine who goes every year and more and he came there one day and was so impressed he said hes gonna stay there next time ....so Acapulco really does have a first class hotel .thanks for making me feel at home and making my trip a memorable one .

Ok...so we just got back from our trip today from sunny Acapulco! Fiesta American Villas was just like what most of the trip advisors have said it was....."a very pleasant surprise!". We got to the hotel around midnight & it did take a while to get checked in, considering there were probably 2 other parties before us...we waited a while in line. So make sure you get there either late in the night or early in the am! When we got to the desk the attendant "upgraded" us to a junior suite. The room was EXCELLENT! Really far beyond what we expected.....first & formost it was CLEAN!!!! The room was updated, bed sheets were nice,there was a jacuzzi tub, 2 flat screens, 2 balconies with chairs & a small table, cute kitchnette, adequate sized fridge (it was only me & my husband!), the sinks were undermounted,granite tile, sleeper sofa and plenty of storage space. What else could we need? Nothing really! The hotel was really nice.....honestly we didn't expect too much bec the price that we got from ORbitz was too good. But we were really pleasantly surprised with the hotel. Sure the decor wasn't brand new but it was clean & nice! We are Mayan owners & we did visit The Mayan.....honestly the accomodations are about the same as far as the rooms go. FAV had a decent size pool, and yes you don't walk right on to the beach(neighther do you @ the Mayan)......but honestly I don't think most of the hotels do bec of the vendors. It's probably safer that way anyway. Besides a few steps of walking to the beach is worth it....esp when the weather is beautiful 80 deg. The beach isn't as bad as some reviews say it is.....not super smooth sand & there is an under tow....so be careful. But overall the beach was fine! OK---FOOD....food around the area of FAM was expensive. Try Tacos & Beers for some great, inexpensive Mexican tacos ( we ate there 4X)....they are comprable to our tacos in the States, but better. BETO's was also good plus it's got an awesome ambiance, IKA TACO's was ok too if you like sea food food tacos. Condesa Restaurant wasn't the prettiest place but they make a really good red snapper with garlic for $12. The food @ Fiesta Amrican Villas was actually probably the BEST food we had in town.....I know it sounds crazy...but it really was! The pool side food was yummy.....try the ceviche! The fajitas were excellent also.....we did go to dinner @ the FAV restaurant & that was about $50 for 2 people. The food was great! Honestly....if you go outside of the hotel & eat @ some of the restaurants.....you'll probably end up spending atleast $20 a person...with 2 drinks incl...since ALL of the restaurants are 2 for 1 drinks. ALL the drinks we've had in ACapulco have to be the WORST mixed drinks we've had. We've meen to Puerto Vallarta, NUevo Vallarta & Mazatlan.....but man...Acapulco makes horrible drinks!!! I don't know what went wrong with the mixed drinks?.....as if they were watered down or cheap ingredients? I dunno?
ALthough FAV drinks weren't too bad!
Going back to Fiesta American Villas......everyday our room was made....cleaned & organized!
Just a great hotel............
Oh by the way....the location IS AWESOME!!! CLOSE TO ALL the bars & clubs............so this means if you are there to relax & unwind & go to bed before 4AM.....this is not your hotel.
ALSO....just to skip all the traffic...get to ACapulco on a Thurs? Do not arrive there on a Fri or a Sat....it's so buzy!!! The locals from other towns drive to Acapulco for the wekend too & we saw how bad the checking in was..so heads up!
