It's all about the grapes here at the Grand—its newest addition is the SOMMA Wine Spa, a vibrant green center with 15 treatment cabins, opened in late 2007. We've heard of chocolate baths and sugar scrubs, but Vino Therapy? Don't worry so much about the varietal or the bouquet, simply be pampered by your wine wrap or Chardonnay-infused bubble bath. Also available in SOMMA are cutting-edge Kinesis exercise equipment. A "How to Spa" booklet in the rooms provides initial education for those spa-challenged men still intimidated by the spa experience. Down on the beach, is the Peninsula Restaurant (called "barefoot elegance") where you check your shoes with the shoe valet, stomp grapes and receive a foot massage. Then dine, of course, on Pacific-Rim cuisine.

Just a fair warning about Fiesta Americana in general but it does apply to Los Cabos. My wife and I have a timeshare (FAVC) with Fiesta Americana and were booked for Cabo for the week of 5/10. Because we have kids at home, we decided agains taking the trip because of the swine flu concerns. We called Fiesta Americana to cancel the hotel and they would not waive the cancellation fee or the points that we paid to make the reservation What was so frustrating was that on Fiesta Americana's website, they have a notice to travelers stating that they'll refund the hotel stay and waive cancellation fees. However, when I called Fiesta Americana, they said that the refund didn't apply to vacation club members. So someone else who was staying at the exact same hotel could get their stay refunded as long as they were not a vacation club member. Seems like a good corporate citizen would at least be consistent with their policy and not rule out certain people just because they invested thousands of dollars to become a long-time timeshare member.
