Located on the Yucatan Peninsula bordering the Caribbean Sea, the Mexican resort town of Cancun is famous for its abundance of beaches, hotels, and nightlife and entertainment offerings. No wonder it’s beloved among sun- and fun-seeking travelers of all ages, from families to spring-breakers and beyond. While a trip here is always a good idea, picking the best place to stay is no easy feat, especially with so many oceanfront options to choose from. All-inclusive resorts are especially great since they fold food, drink, lodging, and, often, activities into one flat fee, which helps take the hassle out of vacation planning. Among our favorites is the sprawling Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Cancún All Inclusive Spa Resort, which truly offers something for everyone, including but not limited to: Over 12 bars and restaurants for foodies, a 40,000-square-foot spa for wellness-seekers, and a 20,000 square-foot kids' club for families. Keep reading to learn more about this expansive resort and everything it has to offer guests.

What You Need to Know

The Look of Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Cancún All Inclusive Spa Resort

It's All in the Details

Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Cancún All Inclusive Spa Resort is situated on a pristine stretch of sugar-white sand in the heart of Cancun. Upon entering this high-rise hotel, you’ll come across a massive natural light-filled lobby that’s decked out in hanging greenery, trees (really!), and colorful floral arrangements. The adjacent lobby bar, which serves cocktails and tapas with a side of live jazz, is outfitted with expansive windows that provide serene sea views. The rest of the on-site drinking and dining venues — including an Argentinian steakhouse that features stylish exposed brick and plush booth seating, an al fresco Asian-fusion joint by the beach, and a seafood spot overlooking the ocean underneath a palapa — are equally chic. Outside, you’ll find several palm-lined swimming pools — including a kid's pool — that connect to form one massive complex. 

All 602 suites have private balconies and terraces, along with views of both the pool(s) and the sea. Contemporary furnishings and décor add to the sleek aesthetic, while patterned throw pillows and blankets provide a fun pop of color. Select room categories offer additional perks and amenities: For example, Master Suite guests are considered part of the Infinite Club, which allows them VIP check-in, entry to a private penthouse lounge, access to a special concierge, and more. Additionally, those staying in Penthouse Suites — which have full kitchens and private pools plus butler service — gain access to a VIP area of the Infinite Beach Club & Pool Deck, receive four bottles of premium spirits, and get one special in-suite terrace dinner per stay. 

The Vibe at Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Cancún All Inclusive Spa Resort

This buzzy property offers a casual, easygoing ambiance, which makes it a popular pick among fun-loving families and couples alike. Since the pool areas are so spread out, they never feel overcrowded. However, if and when you need a break from the bustle, retreat to the incredible 40,000-square-foot spa.

Who Will Love Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Cancún All Inclusive Spa Resort

Families, especially those with little ones, will love it here. Kid-friendly amenities, including a kid's pool and 20,000-square-foot Coral KidZ Club (for ages 3 through 12), offer interactive indoor play areas plus activities like children's cooking classes. Families will also have plenty of room to roam in one of the multi-room suites, including the aptly named Oceanfront Two-Bedroom Family & Friends Suite, which can accommodate up to six guests.

Who Might Not Love Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Cancún All Inclusive Spa Resort

Anyone craving a refined ambiance may be happier at a smaller boutique property. Also, travelers looking for a kid-free escape won’t find that here. 

Best Amenity at Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Cancún All Inclusive Spa Resort

The sprawling spa is, by far, the best amenity here. Each treatment begins with a complimentary 10-step hydrotherapy ritual that features a combination of hot and cold temps and high and low pressures. Other facilities include an aromatherapy steam room, a clay steam room, and an ice room. Not sure what service to try? You can’t go wrong with the bamboo massage or chocolate body wrap. 

We’d also be remiss not to mention the fact that there are a whopping 14 bars and restaurants to choose from — and that’s excluding several casual pool- and beachside bars.
