The romantic Spanish names alone are enough to ignite the imagination.
Alright, here we go: Cancun, Cozumel, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarte.
Arrive at a world class resort in any of these luxury locations and Hola Paraiso.
Yes, hello, paradise.
I love these places.
We're talking, of course, about gorgeous Mexico, featuring the country's most desirable all-inclusive
vacation packages.
With us for a little south of the border excursion this morning is John Kerwin, managing director
for Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos.
Good morning.
Good morning to you.
Or I should say buenos dias.
Buenos dias.
Great to be here.
I'm so glad you're here because I'm in need of a vacation.
I was telling my husband we gotta leave with the girls somewhere, so I think I'm finding
a great place to go to.
I'd love to tell my viewers something that you take pride in, in your resorts, you guys
create memories that last a lifetime with Mexico's most desirable vacation destinations.
That kind of says it all.
Well, our resorts in particular, are special.
Special because we have AMA.
Do you know what that is?
Amar is Amor in Spanish.
It's true.
Amor is love.
But AMA for us is attitude, magic, and action.
With those three things, we make memorable experiences for our guests.
And that you do, obviously, with the people there.
That's right.
We do it with them there.
Now, this is all about reading off little things our guests like, need, want, and then
creating these memorable experiences through these particular likes.
So, this is very important for us, because we're not just selling rooms.
All the hotels in Cancun have a nice beach.
What makes this one different?
Our staff, they're warm, friendly people.
You know how Mexicans are.
I know.
Very hospitable.
They are.
Right?
But these guys are constantly looking out for what you like, what you need, what you
want, and they just bring it to you.
They just make it appear.
So, that's what it's all about.
So, let's go to Cancun.
Let's take our viewers to Cancun and show them this beautiful resort.
Tell me about it.
Well, Cancun, as you know, is the most popular resort destination.
Been there many times.
In Mexico, not only Mexico, Latin America as well.
Well-known all over the world.
Basically, the great thing about our resorts in Cancun are they're very close to the airport,
so you get off this plane and you're just 15-20 minutes, and you're literally there.
There's no long bus journey.
Awesome.
Now, what's made this a very successful resort, apart from it's people, the great dining experience.
We added on an additional restaurants to this resort, so it's not only Mexican cuisine.
We also off, right on site, right on property, we have the Italian restaurant.
We have Asian.
Right now we opened up a new Argentinean restaurant with steaks.
Aye que rico.
So, you have everything right there.
And the beaches there are gorgeous, I have to say, and the water and the sand, and oh
my gosh.
Heaven.
Well, you know, the beach in Cancun is spectacular.
This fine sand that doesn't even get hot, so you can go barefoot.
It doesn't get hot.
The water is crystal clear.
Alright, let's go to Cozumel now, shall we?
Cozumel.
Cozumel is great.
Cozumel is easily accessible from most major US cities, which is perfect, so you can get
there really easily.
The great thing we have to talk about this resort in Cozumel, the Fiesta Americana Cozumel,
and the Explorian, which is also a sister resort, which is right next door.
Recently renovated, so it's brand new.
Pristine.
New furniture, new everything.
So, it's set into the jungle.
It also has these great activity programs.
Oh, how fun!
This is great for families.
This is like "let's all go on a bike ride through the jungle, and let's go see the big
sinkholes."
You know the big sinkholes?
Yes.
Where there's all this wildlife and everything.
It's just like getting away.
Especially those who are in cities, and caught in the traffic all day.
This is the perfect getaway.
Now, this is one place I think I need to go.
Mexico's West coast.
I think we're going to Puerto Vallarte now?
We can go to Puerto Vallarte.
Oh gosh, I have to go there.
I've never been there.
You said you wanted to go, so we can go.
Take me to Puerto Vallarte right now, I'm closing my eyes.
Go.
Well, Puerto Vallarte is a resort there, the Fiesta Americana itself contains only about
290 rooms.
Now the great thing about it being a smallish resort is that you get this personalized service.
You get all this attention.
All these little details.
I like attention.
Perfect.
Who doesn't?
Who doesn't like attention?
Alright, so it's just beautiful.
And let's talk about this one now.
It's the Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos, all-inclusive golf and spa?
Now this is a beautiful resort.
It's set between the desert and the ocean, which is a spectacular setting.
Just spectacular.
Beautiful resort, full of little bougainvillea flowers.
There's great snorkeling right in front of the property.
But as well, the big advantages, we have this beautiful spa, and we have two golf courses
next door.
Oh.
There's the ocean course and the desert course.
Now, John, my plan is to go with my girls, but I know you have a resort that is for adults
only, right?
Oh, we have just the resort for you.
The _______ In Cancun is a spectacular resort.
Now, we know this because that's the way it's rated.
It's rated as #2 on Trip Adviser consistently for the last year, and I'm talking about out
of 180 hotels in Cancun, so it's doing a great job.
The staff there doing a super job.
Now, this resort was also voted, in 2012, best resort in MExico, so you can imagine
where you're going to, right?
This is quality, this is getaway time, this is be yourself.
This resort focuses on your five senses.
They just want you to relax, get away from it all.
It has a superb spa, and the cuisine is exceptional.
You know, what I'm hearing, John, and what I love, is #1, it's really easy to get to,
wherever you are in this country to get to Mexico.
The hospitality there is off the charts.
The people there are so warm.
The food - spectacular.
Spectacular.
And really, something to note, something for everyone.
You can go with your spouse, your loved ones, and the children too.
Well, there is something for everyone.
We cater for families in all the Fiesta Americana Resorts, you know we look out for them.
The food is so important for me, on a scale of 1 to 10, a 10.
Give it a 10 easy.
Now, I'm a chef.
Oh.
I'm a chef by profession, so I know all about food, and our chefs, I think, are the best.
Okay, so if I go to this resort, not only is he going to be there, he's going to cook
for me.
We can cook.
I can cook.
We can organize that.
