Riu Palace Baja California: All Boxes Checked!

We just spent 7 days at the Riu Baja Adults only Resort in Cabos and loved it, I can’t say enough about the friendly and consistently great service at the restaurants and pool. The food was very decent, especially in the speciality restaurants. The rooms were awesome, Nicely designed and. spacious. The Pools had tons of seating both sunny and shady. The Activity team were lots of fun and if you weren’t into their activity there was another pool nearby that was quieter. The views were s [... read more]pectacular. The only regret was the fact that the ocean swimming in front of the hotel was too risky, However we knew that when we booked. Hard to look at that beautiful ocean though and not go in!!! The only thing this hotel could use was an bar with air con, All the bars were outside either at the pool or on the terrace. I would recommend this hotel.

Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: Riu Palace is a beautiful resort.

This was our third time visiting Riu Palace. There was significant changes that we did see and affected our stay. When we checked in and they gave us our room assignment we did not get the room we had asked for and we realise that can happen. However we discussed this with the individual checking us in and she just walked away and said you can up-grade. Customer service was definitely lacking. In the past that would never have happened.. Room was facing on to Riu Santa Fe which was noisy and [... read more] very loud and busy. We had to ask front desk on third day if their was still turn down service in the evening and towel replacements. They had to check with someone else and we did find out that it was every couple of days before this would be done. Again, this was different from last two times. We had to ask for towels couple of times for the room. They did leave a bottle of wine for my husband's birthday, however the letter was addressed to Miss McWilliams, again that attention to detail. They had made quite a few up dates to the front lobby and their main dining area had a re-vamp. The food in the main dining room was a lot of the same stuff. Their food in some cases was not kept at the appropriate temperature, which we all know can be dangerous. Both husband and I had noticed this a couple of times. Brought to their attention, not really aware and did not do anything to rectify it. There appeared to be a lack of leadership when controlling the flow of people through the main dining room. Resembled a large free for all at times. Wait staff and pool service staff were very attentive despite the lack of any real direction. Just wondering if all their seasoned staff had been recruited to the new Riu Baja California (recently opened)? Entertainment for most part was o.k. however appeared to cater to a certain audience. Fire alarms - three times in one night. First time false alarm, second time blown fuse? third time small kitchen fire??? Communication was not delivered. We received a memo under our door ter next morning explaining it was Vandalisnm. This occurred 4:40 5:00 and 5:15 a.m. Very scary indeed without any communication. Despite the hiccups overall stay was enjoyable. Would be thinking about another resort for future plans.

Sandos Finisterra Los Cabos: Family Vacation with a baby

First impression was wow, what a beautiful resort, last impression was WOW what an amazing experience to have stayed here with my family. We went as a family of 5, an 11 and 15 year old, parents plus a 9 month old baby. Coming from Canada I brought all jarred/pouch foods for the baby (didn't want to take my chances with getting a baby sick). Hotel room: Ocean view, water cooler, mini fridge, one double bed, one king size, hotel provided playpen for baby. Pool: The only swim-up bar is locate [... read more]d for the adult-only pool which is 18+, that same pool also has a DJ, activities and music all day long. The number 3 pool (kids/all age pool) which is right below, has the water volleyball net, it's large,very accommodating and it's a relief not to have the big pool parties and women in g-strings biquínis all around the kids and husband,this is very much a family resort. Shout out to Elizabeth at the #3 pool, who was beyond friendly and such a sweetheart, she made us feel at home, we loved her! Restaurants: It was beautifully refreshing to find out that we did not have to make reservations for the a'la cart restaurants, we always got in, had no issues with waiting at all, somehow every single restaurant at the hotel was ready to serve and ready with a table for us. Maybe because this is considered a luxury hotel not as many guests maybe attend I'm not too sure? But we got sat right away in all of the places we chose to go to. Most of the restaurants are at level seven and the elevators were always working to take us upstairs and down. Emiliano's is an a'la cart restaurant and you have got to try the steak filet mignon! CUPCAKE CAFE was a major hit with my kids, delicious cupcakes sweets and drinks and coffee made for you all day long into the night. Don Diego is the buffet and even though they have a theme night each night, it's pretty repetitive for breakfast, lunch and dinners by our 7th day we were pretty much sick of the foods, even though it was all delicious, just very repetitive. also if you're expecting to go there and eat Mexican food you have to leave the hotel, they cater to the gringos and it's hard to find traditional Mexican cuisine at the hotel besides the tacos and nachos. DRINKS: the bartenders and waiters do try to push you with a wine list which is the only thing you have to pay for at the hotel, my husband and I figured that all of the liquor has been watered down, 100% everything tastes very syrupy and not alcoholic at all by the end all of the drinks pretty much started to taste like water with a little hint of alcohol in it, we did not get a buzz a single day not for the lack of trying! heehee BEACH: White Sands and beautiful beaches but not swimmable at all the oceans waves are amazing to see but you're not allowed to even to put your foot in the water it's very rough for sure. STAFF: 0 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE STAFF, EVERYONE FROM THE LOBBY TO THE CONCIERGE, TO THE WAITERS TO THE SERVERS, EVERYBODY WAS VERY WELCOMING, VERY CARING OF COURSE THEY GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO RECEIVE A MUCH DESERVED TO TIP. Hotel views and location: the hotel is located right across from the marina which is also where the beautiful Dolphins reside along with restaurants and very close walkable distance to downtown. The panoramic views of the Marina and the beach from the above of the hotel is just divine and they do have a night shows every night but we missed all of the shows as we had a little baby with us we would just go to the room early. I also heard that the adult nightclub becomes really happening at night until 2 in the morning! Overall we very much recommend this hotel, enjoy!

Holiday Inn Resort Los Cabos: Excellent family resort

Excellent choice for holiday with our grand children. Their first experience with a Mexican vacation. This location is almost perfect, the beach is gorgeous and the hotel is a short walk to San Jose del Cabo. The pools were clean and inviting. Staff were excellent and made us feel welcome right away. All inclusive was a great idea to introduce the grand children to various culinary delights. No kidding, there were new foods in the buffet every day. We are accustomed to shortages in Cuba but t [... read more]hat never happened here. In front of the hotel,There are horse stables offering riding experiences for all levels of riders. Our grand children had their first horse rides and were very happy. The Swim with Dolphins area is a short drive from the Holiday Inn and was a fun morning for all. We do recommend the Holiday Inn for a family vacation in Mexico. This area is very safe compared to some other Mexican destinations.

Riu Palace Baja California: Amazing Resort, Love Cabo !

Definetly would go back to this same resort. Never been to Cabo, and I wished I had not waited this long to go. The resort opened in Dec 2018, I usually give it a year. But not this time, we went June 27-July 4th, 2019. Absolutely nothing to complain about. We don’t like to lie on the beach, we walked it. High undertoe so no swimming in it. But with all else be 100% it did not effect our trip. The staff were so very friendly and great English. Food amazing, buffett better then the a la  [... read more]Cartes. I recommend you to go !

Riu Palace Baja California: Great Vacation

Clean resort, amazing room and food was good with alot of choices. Nice to go to the waterpark slides and parties at the other Riu hotels. Also Adults Only Hotel. City is nice to see and water taxi to see the El Arco and beaches. Great weather in June

Riu Santa Fe: Fun Place To Stay

The staff were quite friendly. Good selection of food and alcohol. The beds were comfortable and the room spacious with a decent little balcony. Overall I'd recommend it to almost anyone. There are a few parties that go on in the evenings too so keep that in mind.

Royal Solaris: Great Resort

The hotel room was clean and the service was great,The people was very friendly also the entertainment group was great,every night with different shows.We really enjoy our time in this hotel.Royal Solaris team always treated very well,the food was ok,wifi service was for free.

Riu Palace Baja California: Great Resort - Not Sure About Housekeeping

I really don't want our incident to persuade my review of the resort, but I know that I depend a lot on the reviews of other that have been to the resort when searching for my next destination so here goes. The RIU resort itself was amazing. It's fairly new so the rooms were very nice though I feel housekeeping could have done a better job when it came to the cleanliness of the room i.e. replacing used towels, soap and sweeping the floor. Overall, the food was good and the fact that you didn't h [... read more]ave to make reservations for any of the restaurants was awesome. We felt the pool areas could've been kept up better. We were there during Cabo Fest which made the resort incredibly busy, but it appeared nobody worked during the evenings once everyone was in their rooms. Given where our room was located, I believe my bikini bottoms were stolen from our balcony which is heartbreaking. I only wore them once and they were Michael Kors, so not cheap. I immediately reported the incident and the hotel manager was able to confirm that housekeeping was in our room during the time I suspected them to go missing. Unfortunately nothing was found and the hotel wasn't able to compensate me so I've filed an official report with CMS RIU and I'm still waiting to hear back. I really hope they compensate me another bottom. Really it's the principal of the whole situation and it's disheartening when I work so hard and then go on a vacation and have to worry about locking everything up. The safes aren't big enough to put my suitcase in. This was an unfortunate event as everything else with the resort was great. The gym was small, but all the equipment was new, and I know for a fact that it was mopped every morning as we were there at 6am when the cleaning lady was there. All in all we enjoyed our stay, but unfortunately the fact that an item was stolen from our balcony makes me sad.

Grand Velas Los Cabos: Beautiful resort, amazing service

The property is stunning - it's an Instagram heaven. Rooms are spacious and clean. Every room has a stunning ocean view. Food was also great - our favourite restaurants were the buffet and the Italian (Lucca). There are some daytime activities however there isn't much to do in the evening. DO NOT SKIP THE SPA.

Riu Santa Fe: good and the bad

well I had read a bunch of reviews before booking the good and the bad .. people were right that the place is beautiful and kept as clean as possible ..the pools were good there are some for every one and the water slide park was pretty cool.. check in was simple . The booze is cheap and gross gotta tip well and ask for some better stuff .. It is a party resort .. i would suggest for families to stay at the palace next door .. the food was absolutley nothing to brag about ..

Riu Santa Fe: Great View

This is huge property but very well maintained. All ages would enjoy this hotel. The food was some of the best I have had. The staff does their best to make your stay a great one. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Riu Palace Baja California: UNBELIEVABLE!!

Amazing resort. Loved the infinity pool and the view beyond. Buffet was great. So much to choose from, but the taco bar at lunch was the best.Staff is amazing! My cup runneth over, Lol. Entertainment staff made it so fun. Can't wait to go back.

Riu Santa Fe: Great time at Riu Santa Fe!

My boyfriend and I just came back from a 7 day stay at Riu Santa Fe and we had an amazing time. Check in was smooth and our room was beautiful, clean and up to date. The service at the resort was always good, staff was great. Everyone was always very attentive, helpful and polite. The themed pool parties were lots of fun! Entertainment made sure there was always something to do on the resort. The gym was always clean and it was quite spacious too, plenty of machines to chose from. My favourite p [... read more]art is the view this resort has on the beach area, it is absolutely stunning.. I would definitely go back. Also, the resort is less than a 10 minute drive to downtown.

Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: Great family resort

We enjoyed our little family vacation at this resort. We travelled with our 14 month old and it was very kid friendly and accommodating. She had a blast! Beautiful and clean resort, pools were nice and perfect temperature. The pool delivery drink guys were great and quick with all drinks although we felt the drinks were very watered down yet delicious. Only down fall would be not being allowed to swim in front of the beach but really that is probably my only down fall that I can think of. We def [... read more]initely had a great time.

Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos: Viva the Ziva !!!

From entering the lobby to register to checking out and heading to the airport and home we have nothing but praise and raves for this resort. Checking in was smooth and seamless as was checking out. Our room was spacious and well appointed located where we requested which was an adult pool view. The grounds are expertly and well maintained. Your first view from the lobby over looking the main pool is amazing only surpassed by the view at night. The pools cater to the variety of clientele from [... read more] families, to large, let's say "energetic" party seekers to those wanting a quieter environment. There are no problems with sun loungers or getting up at 6:30 to reserve your place with a towel. There is no swimming at the beach as the waves are dangerous to say the least but are mesmerizing to watch and listen to. The food at all restaurants and the buffet was excellent. There is no need for reservations anywhere except at the Asian and that's only if you want the Hibachi no need for reservations if you just want table service. Breakfast can be hectic and a people watching paradise.Any overflow is directed to the adjoining Mexican restaurant so we never had to wait for a table in the 10 days we were there. In fact, we didn't have to wait more that 5 minutes to be seated anywhere. There is no lobby bar by traditional definition probably because this is a 590 room resort that caters to families and a wide age group. The biggest selling point our view was the staff. Constantly smiling, courteous, helpful and very, very good at what they do. .

Grand Decameron Los Cabos: Great resort!

We had a very pleasant week. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We ate at the buffet which was great food however wouldn’t recommend the al acarte. The wait to get served was very long and the food was mediocre. The hotel was very clean. If you like a small resort this is a good choice.

Riu Palace Baja California: Excellent resort

The food was great, the rooms were large and stylish. Amazing layout and view of the beach, would definitely recommend and return to the RIU Palace Baja California. The weather was absolutely perfect for my entire 7 day stay.

Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: Fantastic resort

Extremely clean and well maintained resort with very friendly and helpful staff. Located right on the ocean. Beautiful! Entertainment was very good. Pool activities were fun and entertaining. Would definitely recommend this resort for a beautiful relaxing and enjoyable vacation for all ages

Riu Palace Baja California: Amazing Wonderful Holiday!

Everything about this holiday was wonderful. The food, the entertainment, the people. We had a great holiday. The elite extra cost w Sunwing not so much. Plane was full and we were seated next to university students that hadn’t paid this extra fee. We were last to get our bags at the carousel. The extra 200$ was definitely not worth it. Also Sunwing has the same ridiculous sitcom there and back, so no need to bring earphones. The flight was great otherwise Thank you
