History and curious facts
The story of Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos All Inclusive Golf & Spa
The resort sits inside Cabo del Sol, a golf and residential development where Jack Nicklaus was given oceanside land for its first course in 1994. That course became a regular on world top 100 lists and was later redesigned and renamed the Cove Club, while a second course by Tom Weiskopf, the Desert Course, opened seven years after the first. Forbes Travel Guide lists both as neighbors of the hotel. Hurricane Odile made landfall on September 13, 2014, and during the storm the staff stayed with guests for days in a sheltered room with backup generators, water and food. The resort reopened on November 23, 2014, one of the first in Cabo San Lucas to do so, with new paint, furniture, lobby, spa, restaurants and landscaping. In May 2016 Grupo Posadas placed it in its new Fiesta Americana Resort Collection, a group of twelve resorts in Mexico.

Your yacht day
A day on a yacht from Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos All Inclusive Golf & Spa
Cabo del Sol is one of the closer corridor stops to the Marina, so a yacht day from this resort starts with a short ride. You book the hotel to Marina transfer with us, the driver picks you up at the lobby and collects the fare, and you reach the Marina in roughly 16 minutes when the highway is clear. The resort has a kids club, so families staying here usually fit best on the family or snorkel outings, and couples may prefer the sunset sail. From December to April you can also book the whale-watching trip. The driver takes you back to the hotel when the boat returns.
