** UPDATE ON THIS HOTEL** I found out that the resort manager had authorized to have the resort cat "removed" ( I say removed but it was worse than that) so a dear employee took it home in hopes of finding a home for this cat. All I know is that this friendly cat kept all the birds away from the foo...

My boyfriend and I booked Fiesta Americana last minute and we are really enjoying our time here! The rooms are always clean and bar fridge is always stocked. The restaurants are amazing (especially the Mexican one), and the breakfast and lunch buffet are great. There’s no dinner buffet, but honestly...

Pros

  • Convenient beachfront Hotel Zone location close to the airport and town.
  • Strong recurring praise for friendly staff and service.
  • Better-than-average all-inclusive food feedback for its price tier.
  • Good family amenities, including kids club, teen club, pool activities and beach access.
  • Manageable resort size compared with mega-resorts.

Cons

  • Rooms and building structure can feel older than newer luxury all-inclusives.
  • Pool area can get crowded during peak periods.
  • Beach is pleasant and accessible but not the main reason to choose Puerto Vallarta over Caribbean beach destinations.
  • Not walkable to Zona Romántica or the Malecón for most travelers.
  • Some recent guest comments mention construction noise or facility-update periods.

Things to know

  • Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta is a beachfront all-inclusive in the Hotel Zone, not a secluded Riviera Nayarit-style resort.
  • The resort is family-friendly and works well for couples, families and multigenerational groups who want an easy all-inclusive close to town.
  • The beach is convenient and swimmable for many stays, but it is not the broadest or most dramatic beach in the Puerto Vallarta region.
  • Food and service are the resort’s strongest recurring guest positives, especially compared with many mid-range Mexico all-inclusives.
  • Some rooms and public areas are older in structure despite remodeled guestrooms and dining upgrades, so expectations should be realistic.
  • Old Town, Zona Romántica and the Malecón are close by taxi or bus, which makes this a good choice for travelers who want resort ease without being isolated.

Hidden tips

  • Request a higher-floor ocean-view room if views are important.
  • Reserve dinner restaurants early in the day, especially during busy weeks.
  • Use the resort as a base for Puerto Vallarta dining and exploring rather than staying fully on-property every night.
  • Families should confirm current kids-club hours because guest comments mention midday closures and occasional construction-period disruption.

  • Higher-floor rooms can materially improve the view experience.
  • Families should verify kids-club hours and current facility status before arrival.
From Reddit

Reddit commentary is generally positive: travelers praise the staff, food, cleanliness, pool and family-friendly setup, while noting that the property is older and that Puerto Vallarta’s local dining scene can make full resort-only dining less necessary.

Rooms

Rooms To Avoid:Lower-floor rooms if ocean view and quiet matterLow

Guest commentary points to better views from higher floors and occasional pool or construction noise during improvement periods.

Best Value Room:Standard ocean-view room on a higher floorLow

TravelWeekly and guest sources indicate all rooms have balconies or terraces, while review snippets suggest higher floors improve bay and sunset views.
