Stayed from 10/6/09 to 10/13/09 Events: The main pool was closed the first two days there. Travel online stated no information of this at time of booking. When I called customer service, they stated there was nothing they could really do since the property has a smaller "secondary" pool. (The smaller pool was about the size of our room.) The safe in our room did not work when we got there. After forty minutes of trying to fix it, they ripped it out of the wall and put a different one in the hole that was left over. (The safe could have been taken right out of the hole and out of the room!) The best for last! When my wife and I returned from town the second night, our room door was OPEN.....and a man was passed out drunk in our bed!!! Security called, I tried to beat the guy awake. The guy finally wakes up and tells us the front desk gave him the key!!! Long story short, he was drunk and said he was staying with friends in the hotel. He either stated the wrong room number or the front desk gave the wrong key. At any rate, the Hotel never called to verify or checked thier records...etc... Absolutly uncalled for. The front desk tried to call the manager on duty....he was asleep and wouldn't answer his phone! Travel online NO help with this matter. Said they really couldn't do anything. Hotel offered a new room but there was no point to that if they let anyone in thier rooms. We got approx. $* in free spa treatment for the trouble. Not happy at all....will NEVER stay at this resort again...will NEVER buy from Travel online again!
PERFECT

We were satisfied about everything in the hotel. Main pool was closed, but we survived. We only got harrassed once re: the time share stuff, but besides that, we were happy and satisfied. We would definately recommend to everyone. All bars and clubs are walking distance from the hotel, no taxis needed. Go to Walmart to buy groceries and save lots of money. We are planning to go again. It was out 2nd time there and will be returning.
Most horrifying experience of my life!

When we first walked into the Marina Fiesta ""resort"" it looked inviting. The staff could have been more attentive, but they did help us with our luggage. After we check in, the harassment began. Every time we stepped into the lobby we were asked to see one of their timeshare properties. It was extremely annoying. The pool area was nice and the staff there were good at what they do. I would avoid the buffet as they leave the serving spoons for each dish out and I saw birds standing on them and picking at them and then reused by patrons. Then the nightmare began. We went out for dinner one night and while we were gone, someone entered our room and stole a blackberry and went through our belongings, leaving them all over the floor. We asked security to come up (we found out later there is no real security, all the young employees just switch jobs as needed) and then came up and told us we probably lost it and started to go through our things. We had them run off the entry log to our room and found sometime entered using a keycard while we are at dinner. At that point the ""security"" guy told us he was going to call the police on us because the room was trashed. This went on and on until we finally kicked him out of our room. The next day we decided to leave as they wouldn't help us, wouldn't change the keycards to others didn't have access to our rooms and continued to turn off our room phones so we couldn't call out. We ended up feeling violated and unsafe.
Would stay again!

We just got back from staying here from Feb 28 - March 7th. We loved that the hotel was right downtown and on the right ""side of the tracks."" It is on the newer side of the marina, it is super clean, great restaurants and shopping. We considered staying at the Tesoro on the other side of the marina and are very glad that we didn't. It must be the older, original side of the marina, a bit outdated, loud, dirty and people trying to sell you stuff everywhere you turned! We definitely did not experience this anywhere near the Marina Fiesta.
Rooms are very clean..I inspected everything because I am a bit OCD! They are a little older but perfect, comfortable and relaxing. The pool gets a bit filmy and has a few floaters on the surface by the end of the day but that is to be expected with so many people going in and out of it all day.
They are up cleaning the pool area by 7am, scrubbing the tile/cement, cleaning the chairs, wiping down the railings, landscaping, and so forth..you would never see that in the US!
They do try to get you for a timeshare when you first check-in but we said that we weren't interested and kept walking.
The Best!

I have stayed at this hotel on several occasions and love it. It is by far the greatest value in town. Close to everything and the staff is exceptional. The entire resort is locked down 24 hours a day and the security is top notch. The only real downfall is the check out time.
