Cancun, Mexico is not a quick flight away from many American cities, but it also offers something for all the senses. Swim, dine, play, and explore all this Mexican city along the country’s eastern coast has to offer while learning about the culture of indigenous Mexico through art, music, food, crafts, and more.
The award-winning Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach welcomes couples and families alike to Cancun. Its beautiful seaside location is less than a half-hour’s drive from the international airport, and is noted for its nearby crystal blue waters, and sandy white beaches where gentle waves beckon.
Guests of Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach can enjoy spectacular views from every location on the property. Attentive staff and spacious hotel rooms and suites allow for total relaxation. Grand Club participants enjoy amenities that include Internet, and bilingual concierge services. A dedicated lounge offers snacks and refreshing drinks daily, as well as light lunch items and evening hors d’oeuvres. Additional perks include exclusive sundeck access, sunrise yoga, a private pool, and a private beach for swimming and water sports like snorkeling. Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach also has the GEM Spa on-site, which offers a 10-step hydrotherapy treatment.
On the food end, there is a lot more than themed beachside dinners and room service available. Vina Del Mar, of course with an oceanfront view, is a great spot for breakfast and is also known for its Champagne Buffet. The VIP Lounge, Beach Club, and Sundeck also offer breakfast, tea, and hors d’oeuvres for Grand Club guests. The resort’s Bikini Bar means never missing a minute of sunshine at the beach or pool; its cold beverages, small plates, and light snacks are not only convenient but made-to-order.
La Joya is the resort’s on-site casual Mexican restaurant, complete with vintage Mexican cinema decor, also offering an innovative 8-course introduction to the country and its history through a video dining experience. For guests who would like to celebrate a special event or simply indulge in an upscale dining experience, the resort’s Le Basilic serves an elegant and refreshing French Mediterranean menu prepared under the care and direction of Chef Henri Charvet. Simply put, it is intended to be an award-winning restaurant where no detail is spared.
Off-site but close by, Isla Mujeres is just a short 30-minute ferry ride from Cancun. The Zama Beach Yacht club is a popular lunch spot with a private beach and pool. The Punta Sur Sculpture Garden, where striking sculptures honoring Mayan culture and civilization can be found, includes the highest spot in the Yucatan, thanks to the garden’s cliffs. The Cancun Maya Museum also helps visitors learn and understand the history of indigenous peoples of the area.
Altogether, Cancun has plenty more to offer than its beautiful beaches. Between the historic and natural attractions, its fine-dining options and everything that one can find on-site at a resort like Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach, there is absolutely something for everyone who visits Cancun.
