The calm, clear Caribbean waters between Isla Mujeres and Cancun lap gently against Cancun's most coveted stretch of white-sand beach. Here at Punta Cancún, Fiesta Americana Grand Coral Beach reigns as the proud recipient of the AAA Five Diamond Award, a distinction it’s held since 1995.

The flagship property of Fiesta Americana Hotels and Resorts boasts 85,000 square feet of meeting space. Designed for groups of up to 1,700 attendees, it has one of the region’s largest ballrooms and most extensive hotel conference facilities. Experienced teams of professional planners, managers, and caterers orchestrate the details to perfection. A special showroom even treats visiting planners to a wide range of theme-decor suggestions.

Meanwhile, a Business Center provides two additional meeting rooms plus three separate areas equipped with computers and printers, fax machines, copiers, and a multilingual staff for office support-plus a fully equipped state-of-the-art audio-visual department.

Private sea-view terraces or balconies adjoin all 602 suites. Master Suites, measuring over a thousand square feet, feature especially generous living areas and terraces for entertaining. The Presidential Suite scales the heights of luxury with over 5,400 square feet of space. It and 58 other suites make up the Grand Club, crowned by a private 6,500-square-foot concierge lounge.

Participants with free time and energy to spare head for the three indoor tennis courts or venture out to explore Mayan ruins or Garrafon Natural and Aquatic Park. Or, from the resort's marina, they launch seagoing adventures. A surprising number of guests, however, prefer to spend their free time lying perfectly still beside the resort’s six-level pool-which includes waterfalls and three swim-up bars.

Long hours of meetings, sports, exploration, or lounging in the sun deserve a trip to the spa, where therapists have access to the most advanced technology, including state-of-the-art hydrotherapy equipment. At the same time, the staff honors local tradition with a menu of natural products and therapies.

When hunger calls, 24-hour room service and five restaurants answer with a full range of moods and menus. As a bonus, the resort’s lobby showcases the finest in contemporary art from such renowned Mexican artists as Esther Almeida, Victor Gutierrez, and Victor Villareal.

The attention to modern Mexican culture, world-class service, and personalization-along with an ongoing passion for perfection-explains why, year after year, Fiesta Americana Grand Coral Beach maintains its reputation as a master in the art of five-diamond hospitality for meetings.
