Resort Tour: Fiesta Americana Condesa

Fiesta Americana Condesa is a family all inclusive resort in the Cancun Hotel Zone. It's a compact high rise with several pools. This makes it easy to get around and find a chair by the pool. I was impressed with the a la carte restaurants. No reservations required, but you may wait a little bit if you go during the busiest time. In 2018, the resort underwent a major renovation of the rooms, restaurant and lobby. The staff is so friendly. This is one of my favorite family all inclusive resorts in Mexico.
