Hello All,
We're booked at FA Cabo September 10-17 and I thought it would be a good idea to create a thread with all the useful information I've read in multiple messages. Please feel free to add your recommendations as well.
From the sticky - https://tugbbs.com/forums/index.php...liated-information.254931/page-3#post-2103260
The information below was collected mainly from posts by @CalGalTraveler and @GT75 - Thank you both!
Resort information:
There is a nice beach in front of the resort complete with complementary lounge chairs, umbrellas and food service. Although people go into the water and they provide snorkeling equipment to HGVC members for free, there are currents and rocks at low tide so not very swimmable.
Daily maid and turndown service provided.
15% HGVC owner discount on dining and spa services.
From @GT75 -
I personally like Phase II (room 2106). That building has an elevator and close to the ocean with great views, you can request a specific room by calling FA front desk about 2 weeks before arrival. The other thing that I like about Phase II is an easy walk to the owners pool below sales center with the fantastic view and of course the secret hot tub.
Transportation:
@CalGalTraveler - We always book a private round trip in advance. We used Cabo Shuttle Services twice and recommend https://www.caboshuttleservices.com/ If you call them, they will usually include a 30 min grocery stop on the way from the airport.
FA has a shuttle that goes to the mall several times a day, the cost is $12 pp round trip.
Grocery Delivery:
Upon arrival make a 30 min grocery stop at a local Mexican "Walmart-like superstore" called Chedraui in Los Cabos. Much less crowded than Walmart and the produce and grocery selections are amazing. Make sure to tip the bagger $.50 to $1 a bag because they do not get paid otherwise.
Prickly Pear https://www.pricklypearcabo.com/ Make sure to state on order that it is "Fiesta Americana Villas" instead of "Fiesta Americana" because they are not allowed to deliver to hotel. $20 minimum per order.
Restaurants:
Taco Guss
Invita Bistro
Misiones De Kino
Bajo La Luna
Hacienda Cocina y Cantina (the food is good but really like the location and atmosphere)
Alcarevea
