Great ocean view from infinity pool

The pools and grounds were very well kept. The infinity pool and ocean view were awesome! The view of the Land's End rock formation in the ocean is great to see. Was there during a tropical storm after Hurricane Sandra, and everything was dealt with very well. Amazing to see 20-30 ft of beach washed away! Lifeguards kept us out of the ocean when it was dangerous, which was great. Food was okay, most of the buffet food is pretty greasy, as usual. Restaurants were promised to be "unlimited" but wh [... read more]en we arrived we could only book for our last two days. After a few days, we were able to get a reservation for two additional days, but two of the restaurants were very disappointing anyway - same food as the buffet almost. The Italian restaurant was the best. Had to ask for the air conditioner and safe in our room to be fixed upon arrival, but they were fixed promptly. Fairly easy to find seating at the pools, even mid-day.

Fun, clean and awesome resort!

Resort was super fun, it was very clean and had friendly staff. Food and drinks were tasty too! I had a lot of fun and will definitely be going back! Rooms were spacious and the layout of the resort was well planned out. It's very close to the city too.

Great resort for the price

The resort amenities were top notch; 2 amazing pool areas, ample bars, excellent food at the a la carte & buffet, friendly and helpful staff. Only draw backs were several wasps during the day around the bar and the waves at the beach were rough with a powerful under tow.

Great resort wonderful staff

We stayed at the Riu Santa Fe and we all had so much fun, such an energetic environment! We also did some excursions with cabo adventures what a fantastic company. They had great organization and and always made sure everyone was satisfied. I definite recommend their company.

Beautiful Resort

Overall the hotel was clean, pools were nice and the staff was friendly! Negatives for me was definitely the food/alcohol. They had a variety however personally I was not a fan. I didn't feel good the majority of the week. one other negative I found was the beach. People were allowed to sell souvenirs and are quite aggressive making it hard to walk and enjoy the view without being shouted at and feeling unsafe.

This is a beautiful resort

This hotel is very well kept and clean. The rooms were great. The service was excellent with a lot of very happy and helpful staff. It is a very big property though, so be prepared to do a lot of walking just to get around on their property.

Fun resort.

Very clean, good entertainment friendly staff and good food. I will definitely be going back. It was a nice walk on the beach to the down town bar, but after the night life I would have to take a taxi back to the resort. I wouldn't recommend walk home on the beach at night, simply to far when your drunk.

Wonderful Trip!

We Love Cabo. Riu Santa Fe is great value. Travelled end of September. One day of rain and very hot. Resort was only 55% capacity. Plenty of chairs and restaurant reservations were easy. Would go back for sure!

Fun time in Cabos!

Hotel was big and maintained. There was not a day when you didn't see an employee working. The resort was clean. The room was clean, although there were ants in the bathroom by the sink, which didn't really bother us. The fridge was stocked, and you were able to request for more drinks. My only complaint about the room was that the housekeeper didn't do towel arts. We didn't ask, but it should be done automatically. The entertainment by the pool was great. The infinity and quiet pool were nice a [... read more]lso. We had no choice but to use the pool, b/c the beach is not swimmable. There's an under tow that can pull you in. Food was ok, not the best. It was basically the same every day. They should change it up sometime. Staff were friendly. We really enjoyed this resort and for the price would definitely come back.

Great Resort

Very clean resort, nice rooms food was ok a lot to choose from. Barbq by the pool was excellent. Great entertainment staff. Spent most of our time at infinity pool. Staff does an excellent job shutting down party pools early to get drunks out and back to room. They are also quick in stopping rowdiness late at night. Would go back again. Sunwing very comfortable flight and champagne toast was a bonus you don't get anywhere else.

Amazing Resort

I love the enveroment, welcoming, helpful staff , the entertetament was great.they make you feel at home. Love it, will go there again for sure, and recommend it to every one, to try it for them shelve.

Lovely resort

I've travelled to many Riu resorts before, but this one in particular has been my favourite thus far. The rooms are dated but very clean and well kept. Food is fresh and variety is decent. The entertainment team makes this resort all that it is. They work so hard around the clock to keep all guests entertained and happy. All hotel staff are pleasant and polite. Service at Mexican restaurant is slow, but friendly. Highly recommend to take a water taxi to lovers beach, it's lovely there. We went p [... read more]arasailing and I don't recommend it, the people operating the boats have no training in first aid, and won't keep an eye on you while in the air in case you are not feeling well and need to come down. They also have no first aid kit or water or anything available on the boat. If you want to relax and enjoy the beautiful view I recommend Rui palace. But if you want to party and be entertained all day then Santa Fe is the place to be.

HEAVEN IN CABO SAN LUCAS MEXICO

The Rui Santa Fe is just an amazing place for young and old clean perfect position superb infinity pools food top class staff attentive and friendly entertainment staff led by Paris where brilliant in the day and the shows at night excellent like I said Heaven.

Good vacation during June

There is lots of walking but very nice facility. All building (1-6) are 4 story walk ups and building 7 has elevators and is the closest to the beach and social events but the farthest from the central dining / theatre area.

Perfect get away

This resort has it all. The busy active pool(the one in the pic) is by block seven. Great if that is what you are looking for. The other pool (located in the center of the other blocks) is quiet and relaxing. Always plenty of chairs and shade there. The grounds were very clean and well maintained. The selection of food was great and I loved the fresh fruit cart that was brought to the pool every day. Rooms were clean but far from fancy but I don't go on vacation to live in my room. It would have [... read more] been nice however to have a coffee maker for first thing in the morning. If you want a ocean view request block seven. Also, block seven is the only block with an elevator. The spa was wonderful but overpriced. I had a hot stone massage which was marvelous. There is a sauna, steam room and jet pool located in the spa that is free to use. This resort had wonderful friendly staff. Just one thing to think about is time of year you visit as this area seemed to attract a large amount of young people who were celebrating the end of school. No problem for me as I preferred the relaxing pool.

Riu Santa Fe

I'll break this into categories Food: decent, but nothing amazing. Don't go to the Asian Restaurant Entertainment: always something to do or see, a little cheesy Service: EXCELLENT Beach: un-swimable

Riu: Santa Fe, Los Cabos, Mexico

Terrific! from the booking, to the airline service to the transportation to and from the resort to the front desk staff to the clean room with a fantastic view to the food to the entertainment to the pool, bar, buffet and a la carte restaurants staff, we could not of had a better experience! Say nothing of the weather. We highly recommend Trip Central and Sunwing Tours for your get away. Pure pleasure and memories that will last a lifetime.

Couldnt ask for more!

Food was great, service was amazing, lots of things to do to keep you busy. awsome time id definatley be going back to this resort in the future. Ive stayed at the palace next door and the santa fe by far surpassed my experience at the palace. Cant wait to go back!!!!

Waste of $ and bad overall trip

Too many out of control college kids partying and fighting! Asked to upgrade and did not get any support! Very disappointed in this Riu which surprised me. I usually love riu resorts and have stayed in many previously! Would never go back.

Just as fun the second time around

I have never gone back to the same resort before but 2nd time here. 3rd time for my daughters. Great resort. Love walking into Los Cobos and walking around the town. Went on a glass-bottom boat tour that was worth ever penny! The one downside of this resort is - it is very dangerous to swim in the ocean. Pool swimming only I would recommend.
