We ask for the all inclusive 24 hours, and there wasn't food, only some bad hotdogs. Then we went to our room. and the bathroom wasn't clean. we call to front desk like 4 times to... More

I could not wait to get home and write my review about the Riu Santa Fe! Please do not trust the negative reviews!!!!!! We stayed here from May 11, 2013-May 18, 2013 and had a fabulous time. We booked our trip almost a year in advance and I was super nervous about staying here because of the negativity. Boy, are... More

Just returned from a week at Riu Santa Fe. I have spent 3 other weeks in Cabo and must admit the Riu is the cleanest resort I have been to. Great Food at the Buffets, A La Carte Restaurants are Average as I do not like the set meal plan. Fantastic room in building 5. Great canned Dos Equis re-stocked... More

We booked the ocean front suite and was worth every penny!! resort is clean, HUGE, and Spring Break on Steroids!! All the employees thru out the resort were helpful and nice. Really no complaints...

Theater shows were spectacular, room care and cleanlinessess were excellent. Grounds well kept. However...restaurant attention mediocre (buffets). Didn't attempt reservations because lines were very long and was told almost impossible. Drinks watered down. Also, the Entertainment team, aside from exaggerating gift prizes (like offering houses and a million dollars for winning) seemed bias during activities (guys would only prompt gals).... More

the hotel is very nice, the views itself it is worth the stay, however BE VERY AWARE, and based on other reviews I read recently about this hotel I have to say that yes it does gets crazy, because it does caters to the young people from the west coast, that within 2 hours flight they are in "party central"...

My husband and I stayed at the Riu Santa Fe from May 4-11 and loved our stay here. The resort is spotlessly clean, the grounds are immaculate and the food/drinks were great too!!

So I decided to go to Mexico, alone...thinking an all inclusive would be the best bet, as I was a little weary about doing Mexico alone. The Riu Sante Fe in Cabo San Lucas was a very nice hotel to use as my "base" but it was a little weird being on my own there...as it's definately a family/party place.... More

Our trip was absolutely AMAZING!! Riu Santa Fe was IMMACULATE! Our group consisted of 4 adults, a 3 year old and two 12 yr olds. We were a little nervous bringing them during Spring Break with all the college kids. BUT we had NO problem! But, we are a pretty laid back family. There were a night or two where... More
