Great time!

We had a wonderful stay at the Riu Santa Fe. Everything was clean, staff was nice and super helpful, food was good and the amenities were great! Would definitely go back in the future. Very much a party destination (which is why we went) but also relaxing areas for when you wanted to have a calm, relaxing day by the pool/more family focused.

Amazing stay

The RIU was amazing, my wife and 2 teens and I loved everything. Very clean, friendly staff, awesome food and drinks. The scene at the difference in the pools, the beach, the gym, everything was great.

Budget All Inclusive

Friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms with stocked drink bars, comfortable beds, cold AC, and good water pressure. Regarding food-mixed reviews on food options (would stick to buffet or Mexican food choices) as some of the ethnic food options are lacking in flavor. Multiple pools to choose from, water slides. Great overall budget resort.

Amazing time with great people!!!

We have made it official that we will be coming back every 2 years. The kids from all 4 family had such a blast that we have to come back and see everyone. From Jozelyn who helped us checking in / and helping us send some fish to get cook that we caught. To Mitchell who brought games to the pool. Can't wait to see you all in 2 years again with all the families for more sun and fun.

Santa Fe

Property was nice the beach was beautiful but not recommended to swim because of the current and waves. Unfortunately the a la carte restaurants were mostly buffet and similar to the main buffet except the steakhouse.

A fun time for a good value

The resort has all that you would expect. Good pools, a variety of food options, amazing views of the ocean, and some fun night life. The rooms could be cleaner with nicer accommodations.

Avoid at all costs!

Horrendous experience. Bugs in the room, staff are incredibly rude, food is terrible, you don’t get any of the experiences you’ve paid for, the staff don’t inform you of what you need to know when you’re checking in, they charge you 10 pesos per 30 seconds to figure out transportation you’ve arranged prior to arrival.. it’s a nightmare to deal with these people and it’s anything but relaxing. I would never stay here again and highly recommend staying anywhere else while in Cabo.

Wonderful Stay at Riu Santa Fe, Cabo!

We stayed at the Riu Santa Fe for my best friend’s bachelorette trip and had such an incredible time! The resort itself is beautiful, the staff are so friendly and welcoming, and the food was consistently great lots of options every day and everything tasted fresh.

We stayed in Villa 7, which was a bit further up but close to the beach and the Mezcal pool bar definitely our favorite spot during the day! The energy, music, and drinks there were perfect.

The nightlife was also a blast.Pacha nightclub gets lively every night. They mostly play Mexican and Latin-style music (think reggaeton, banda, and pop), so if you’re into hip-hop or R&B, you’ll have to request it since it’s not played as often. The themed parties were a highlight White Party, Jungle Party, Pink Party, and Neon Party each one had its own fun vibe and everyone really got into it!

Check-in was smooth, everything felt organized, and overall the resort made our trip unforgettable. Would absolutely come back again perfect spot for a celebration or a fun group getaway!

Perfect getaway

This was my birthday/honeymoon trip and everything was amazing. I was expecting a little gift or something in my room like the last time when I came for my birthday but I didn’t get anything. Last time I received a card and champagne. This time nothing. There wasn’t a good selection of music. They just played house “boom boom boom” Latin music. No R&B, or any other genre to accommodate other guests and ethnicities. Food was amazing. Especially sakura restaurant. View was spectacular for it to be partial view. I would stay here again but just go to the marina to hear my type of music.
