Should You Upgrade to Infinite Club at Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach?

Under the new brand concept, Infinite Luxury by Grand Fiesta Americana, the Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Cancn All Inclusive Spa Resort has redefined the guest experience and reemerged as a “luxury with no limits” all-inclusive resort. Offering the same iconic cuisine and exceptional service, but with a plethora of new guest experiences.

The resort’s Infinite Club is situated at the top of the resort for guests seeking an even more exquisite and personalized experience. It provides lavish services and amenities, including a personal concierge and a wide range of gourmet experiences and premium beverages served at the VIP Penthouse club and the Infinite Sun Deck.

I’ve had the pleasure of spending two vacations at this resort. The first one was with just a friend and the most recent one (May 2021) was with my kids, aunt, cousins and some friends. I’ve only stayed in Infinite Club suites so you could say that I’m spoiled by the extra perks and absolutely believe it’s worth the additional cost depending on how much extra the charge is. To figure out if it’s worth it to you, you’d need to see which of the Infinite Experiences and Amenities you’d use and the cost associated if you purchased them separately.

I will add that while this does say tips are included, it is very much appreciated by the staff if you do offer tips. I have found only Sandals Resorts staff as the only ones where tipping is prohibited and staff will actually return your money. That being said, here is what I recommend as far as tipping:

Bellman/Porter $1 per bag
Maid $3 to $5 per day
Minibar Restock $2 per day
Room Service $2-$3 per delivery
Beach/Pool Butlers $1 per drink/food delivery
Beach Chair/Umbrella Set Up $3-$5
Wait Staff $5-$10 per table

Again, this is completely optional but VERY appreciated. When we tipped, you could tell how sincere the staff were in their thanks. COVID-19 hit these areas hard and the resorts were shut down for a long time.

As an Infinite Level guest, you’re entitled to these additional perks!
