[size=1][font=calibri]This resort is switching to an all-inclusive in 2014, so some of this may not be applicable. I originally selected the Fiesta Americana because of the group room rate (I thought it was very reasonable). WELCOME HAPPY HOUR – we had a welcome happy hour at the lobby bar for all our guest. My uncle was gracious enough to pick up the tab for everyone and was over charged by more than $400 because the bartender did not offer happy hour prices. We realized later and the resort went good for the amount, but it took several conversations/follow-ups (not exactly what the groom wanted to be doing on his wedding weekend). On the positive side, the views from the lobby were great and it was the perfect space to welcome our guests. ROOMS – rooms were nice, standard and almost all rooms have at least a partial ocean view which is a plus. POOL AREA – Pool is the perfect temp. CERMONY SPACE – we had our ceremony on the beach and reception at the Whale Terrace – it was gorgeous. For me it was a major plus the beach was “private” or much less populated then the Medano beach resorts. I didn’t want a lot of people lurking. Also, with the ceremony came huppa flowers and they were ugly! Had I seen the flowers beforehand I would of torn them down and gone flowerless. RECPTION FOOD – We went with the barbeque buffet and are so glad we did. The food was excellent. I ordered cupcakes from the resort and they were terrible! The initials were wrong and I fairly certain they had been frozen. In the end, wish I would of just gone with the buffet deserts (which were very good) or picked up a cake from Costco. WEDDING CORDINATOR – I worked with Rosaura and she was very good. She was responsive and provided excellent recommendations. I did hire Amy Abbot wedding planning services at the end to help coordinate all the vendors (which I’m glad I did). It made it very stress free for me. SERVICE – service at the reception was very good. OVERALL – overall I’m happy my choice. Primarily because of the guest room rate, being able to choose my own vendors and the reception space. However, if I were to look again I might consider renting a villa and holding the wedding/reception there. I think with the cost I would of come out the same (if not cheaper)[/font][/size]
