The resort, FIESTA AMERICANA GRAND, is located off the main Highway, (Highway 1) along 'the corridor' between the two towns of CABO SAN LUCAS and SAN JOSE DEL CABO. The highway is officially named 'Carretera Transpeninsular' and the FIESTA AMERICANA GRAND is located at Kilometer 10.3 and is easy to access from both directions.

This property has great restaurants and room service is available 24/7 so this is a great place to stay if your desire is to remain on the property throughout your vacation. You can swim and snorkel in the ocean at the resort, and servers are more than happy to bring food and drinks to you on the beach and at the pools all day. If you so desire, you can have dinner on the beach as well. But, be sure to eat at the awesome PENINSULA RESTAURANT even if you rent a car. Also, be sure to ask concierge about any special requests you may have. If you want to have dinner at a table in the sand among tiki torches, or a massage on the beach, just ask. Their philosophy is that they aim to please.

It is very easy to rent a car and explore on your own. There is plenty of free parking in a covered parking garage on the property. Driving in this part of Mexico is very easy and there is plenty of exploring to be done. You can easily drive to CABO SAN LUCAS or to SAN JOSE DEL CABO. They both have ample restaurants and shops. Additionally, SAN JOSE DEL CABO is an old Spanish mission town, so it has a different atmosphere than the newer CABO SAN LUCAS. Both are equally charming in their own way and equally accessible by car along the main highway.

San Jose del Cabo International (SJD) airport is a 30-50 minute drive, depending on the route you take and the traffic. One of the options is to drive on the toll road which eliminates going through the town of San Jose del Cabo, reducing the travel time since you don't have to stop at the stop lights and sit in traffic.

The resort is not on the Pacific side of Land's End. It lies on the Sea of Cortez. Although all of the beaches in Mexico are considered public, the beach at this resort has a 'private' feel to it due to the fact that it is not easily accessible to people other than guests of the property. Therefore, there are no vendors on the beach. But, don't worry, there is plenty of opportunity for souvenir shopping elsewhere! The beach has lots of palapas (see attached pictures of the beach) and you can swim and snorkel at the resort without any problem. There are beautiful tide pools where you can observe the undersea life! The only time it is not safe to do so is when there is a storm out at sea causing large swells, because then the waves get too big to swim or snorkel at the resort. There are also two good swimming/snorkeling beaches within minutes by car along the highway. They are called CHILENO BAY and PLAYA SANTA MARIA. 'Playa' is 'Beach' in Spanish. They are beautiful sheltered bays in which to swim and/or snorkel whenever the waves are too large to swim at the resort. It is easy to find them because there are signs along the highway, and there is plenty of free parking!

In addition to the two towns close by, you are centrally located to take road trips to towns further away. A very popular destination is TODOS SANTOS on the Pacific coast north on Highway 19 about 50 miles. Another popular destination on the Sea of Cortes north on Highway 1 through the mountains is LOS BARRILES. I have never timed it when I've driven there so I don't know how long it takes to drive it, suffice to say it takes more than an hour each way. Again, once you are in LOS BARRILES there are lots of great restaurants and bars. Beyond LOS BARRILES is another popular destination, LA PAZ. It is farther north along HWY 1 and takes a couple of hours to drive there. It is possible to drive to TODOS SANTOS from LA PAZ or CABO SAN LUCAS. If you leave early in the morning and drive north on HWY 1 towards LA PAZ, you can get there in time to eat lunch in LA PAZ and drive to TODOS SANTOS for dinner and get home at a reasonable time that night.

There are so many places to explore that it would be impossible to outline everything in the space allotted here, you just have to come to Cabo yourself and check it out!

The entire southern tip of the Baja peninsula, which is the Mexican state of BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR, is beautiful. A combination of mountains, desert and sea with a variety of attractions and activities makes this part of the world a paradise for vacationers, and this particular resort is a wonderful place to make as your home base. FYI, BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR (BCS) is the state, but the region is commonly referred to as the Baja Peninsula, or simply Baja. AKA LOS CABOS, or CABO (which means CAPE in English). The names all refer to the same part of the world.

Last, but certainly not least, BAJA is SAFE! In considering where you want to relax and enjoy your vacation, know that vacationing in the BAJA or LOS CABOS, or CABO is the safest place, probably in the world, today!
