Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: Great Resort!!

Pros: Let me start out by saying this resort is great. The service from check in to restaurants to wait staff and bartenders and room attendants, all amazing. The pools were beautiful.. The only thing I will say is that only one had a swim up bar so everyone pretty much located to that pool leaving the other two bigger ones empty for the most part. Also pool closes at 7pm. When you stay at the Palace you also get access to the Sante Fe which was definitely a little livelier with their activities [... read more] (and guests). But the food, resort, service, quality was definately better at the Palace. Take $10 Water taxi tour onto Lovers Beach. Worth it for the tour. The beach itself is meh... Con's: The only con to the resort itself was that I wish there were more daytime activities organized at the Palace and you will not be able to swim in the beach. The gym also closes at 7pm. The other thing I would warn travelers of are the time share people at the airport (tricked us into thinking they were part of the Resort) offered us a bunch of free activities. If you don't mind sitting through the 2hr presentation we got free zip line and ATV excursions which were great. Just stick to your gun that you're not interested cause they will offer you everything under the sun once you're there. Also be prepared to spend a pretty penny on taxi if you plan to go anywhere. $10 to the Walmart (almost across the street) $14 into Downtown for clubs or mall. We definately spent about $150 on taxi fares. That's it. This place is great. I would come back in a heart beat.

Riu Santa Fe: Relaxing Week

Room- Clean, great shower, well stocked, bar in the room but it was all Tequila no other variety, yes one says Vodka but it is not Vodka it is Tequila. They all had the same smell and same taste. No coffee machine in your room, would be nice if they would put them in the rooms. Beds are not too bad but not the greatest. We stayed in Building 3 facing the pool. I like to be by the pool area and this was central to lobby, entertainment and meal buildings. If you want to be closer to the "party" th [... read more]en Building 7 and the pools there are more active. This is a very family friendly resort so if you are looking for a just adults not the place for you. Try and not go around spring break if you are not looking for rowdy teenagers and young adults. For me none of that matters I enjoy being around people and noise does not bother me if I needed to get away from it there were other spots on the resort to be. Some people may find this resort too big and it is a big resort so if you do not like to walk a lot or can not walk a lot this is not the resort for you as there is no trolley it is all walking. Food- lots of choices in the buffet, I did not find the food that bad for a resort, remember this is a resort not a personal chef. The reservation restaurants lack choice and lack taste. I have only ever found one that I have ever liked in all the resorts I have stayed in. I do not feel they are good at all here. Evening Entertainment - Not bad the Michael Jackson show was good, sound system could be better for the people in the back. Staff - All the staff were great there I never had an issue ever. Remember there are many, many others staying there you are not the only one, they are getting asked for things all the time and it might not come to you at the snap of a finger but they do not forget. This is an average resort and it was a great deal at the time , There does seem to be a lot of young adults that frequent here and have little to no respect for their surroundings or others. I had the privilege of meeting many that were not that way but there were still too many that were beyond rude and disrespectful. The Beach - You can not swim in the ocean, biggest disappointment for me, had a great time but can say that I will not be back for this reason, I love the ocean and this beach lacks luster barely any chairs, no shade, no canopies, full of vendors waiting for you to cross that rope to chase after you. Although a very stern no thank you does stop them, and you can not swim in the ocean due to the under tow. I tried and I can swim not worth the risk as it is very strong and will keep you under for too long. The only place for WIFI without paying for it was in the lobby area and even then you got booted off all the time because of the amount of others on. Now being away should not be a big deal but if you have family at home you are trying to check in with you may be interested in this fact

Barcelo Gran Faro Los Cabos: Very nice!

Great place to stay! Wonderful service, beautiful large pools, good food. Entertainment was good. Only draw back was not safe to swim in ocean due to dangerous currents - had to go into Los Cabos to do this. Beautiful scenery and huge waves were amazing!

Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: Marvellous time,Marvellous place, just marvellous

I like to thanks all the staff at Riu Place, my husband and I felt,very special , it was a perfect time,the food is excellent , the view is breath taking, the drink juste the way I like it.the beach quite stunning, and at the pool lots to do, and all of the staff just fantastic thank you every one at Riu Palace

Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: Beautiful resort and location

The view of the beach was beautiful, but it was unpleasant walking on it because the sand was rough on the feet and very hot. The buffet was amazing but we were not impressed with an of the a-la-carte restaurants. We usually ended up going to the buffet after because we didn't like our food.

Grand Decameron Los Cabos: Had a great time!!

I really enjoyed my week as this small resort. Always lots of chairs, space to sit and hang out. Resort employees were very friendly, helpful and service was relatively quick. For a small resort I thought the food was really good and they kept the variety going.

Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: Outstanding

8th visit to RIU/RIU Palace-consistent and excellent value. Service was excellent, staff are top notch, and weather in Costa Rica is hot hot hot! We highly recommend RIU Palace and can say with confidence that you will not be displeased with this All Inclusive

Grand Decameron Los Cabos: Beautiful Resort

the welcoming committee was great, asked for things when we booked & got them.food was good, staff very friendly.they had a doctor on site, very convenient. didn,t have to fight for chairs at the beach or pool.

Grand Decameron Los Cabos: Great Small Resort

Hotel was small and intimate. If your looking for great service and a relaxing time, then this resort is for you. A big shout out to Jesus the manager. He is awesome. Lily with activity group was fun and full of energy. Antonio the bartender at the adult pool is one of the funniest servers I have ever meet. He was a blast.

Riu Santa Fe: Fun in the sun!

The resort is large, and for this reason has something for everybody. Whether you are looking for a quiet stay or a party scene this resort has both. Went with a friend at the end of March and stayed in building 7 - closest building to the beach. There is lots to do - beach volleyball courts, tennis courts, pool tables in the sports bar, multiple pools are all on site. Food and service were acceptable (not great) likely because our stay coincided with US spring break. Bartenders were generous wi [... read more]th the alcohol. If you are looking for a quiet resort, definitely not the place to go in February or March. Overall, a good stay.

Grand Decameron Los Cabos: Great food and service.

People, food, rooms, grounds, were all very good. The beach is not the reason to go here. It's not nice at all, so if that's important to you, then Los Cabos area should not be on your list. We rented a car and drove around for great fun.

Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos: Great place to relax

We spent a week at the Pueblo Bonito Blanco and we really enjoyed it. The hotel was clean, staff was amazing, the beach was nice and it was a 15 minute walk to town. We had dinner one night at the sister resort the Rose and were glad we chose the Blanco instead. The food was pretty good but the buffet was a little repetitive, but we didn't go hungry. If you're looking for a party atmosphere, this isn't for you, but if you want a nice place to relax, then check it out.

Riu Santa Fe: Awesome time

This resort was amazing. We had a great time. The staff and service were great. We didn't have any issues at all. Checking in was the easiest we have ever experienced. If you do go to this resort request building 7. The location and atmosphere is the best in the entire place. And the food was the best I've had at a resort so far. Los cabos was a great place to visit and will definetly return.

Barcelo Gran Faro Los Cabos: can say nothing bad about this resort.

the barcelo grand faro in los cobo, was great. clean, friendly with great service, and great food. close to local night clubs and restaurants shopping was good in town. Just what we needed. would recommend, and would happily return.

Riu Santa Fe: Cant wait to go back!!

I booked with friends to stay at the Santa Fe, it was great, exactly what I was expecting! FOOD- The Steakhouse and Mexican a la carte restaurants were fantastic!! Although hard to make reservations as they were often very busy but if you plan ahead its worth it. The buffet selections were just okay in our opinion, they didn't change much throughout the week so by the end we were a little sick of the same thing but overall the food was fine. POOL BARS - The ocean view pools were a younger crowd  [... read more]that was more into partying while we were there, however there was a quieter pool with a swim up bar in the middle if the property (no ocean view) that was much more relaxing if that's what you're looking for. Only complaint here was people reserving chairs - very hard to get pool chairs because people would put towels on them and "reserve" them veryyyyy early or late the night before. OCEAN VIEW & BEACH-Ocean views from the hotel were spectacular, couldn't have asked for more. We saw whales almost every morning from the hotel property. The water was extremely rough, the first few days, huuuuge waves would crash up on the beach and the wash up of water would come all the way up the beach - it was really a sight to see and could not be captured in its full magnitude on camera. The water calmed down toward the end of our stay and we WERE able to swim in the ocean at our hotel. LOCATION - Perfect. The hotel is very close to the Marina and Downtown for Nightlife but not so close that the beach is busy and crowded. Taxi pickup at hotel was 14 dollars and about 10 minute drive. The walk to the Marina on the beach was about 30 minutes and very hot but the beach is beautiful! There is also a Wal-Mart near the hotel, nice to have in case you forget anything; sunscreen, first aid, medications - all MUCH cheaper there than at hotel. EXCURSIONS BOOKED AT HOTEL - Can be pricey but worth it!! We did the Cabo Expedition Whale watching $85- staff was great, very welcoming and knowledgeable, offered tones of information about the whales and other marine life, got to see the Arch, Lovers Beach, sea lions, dolphins, manta rays and some fish. (Pickup and drop off at the hotel included) Eco-Cat Catamaran Ride $50 - included unlimited drinks, tour of the Arch and Lovers Beach, snorkeling/kayaking/swimming at the Sea of Cortez, lunch and music - we had a great crew on board and a great fellow guests on teh tour - it was so much fun and well worth the money! (Pick up and drop off at the hotel NOT included.) Glass bottom boat ride booked at the Marina - inexpensive and saw tonnes of fish and got to take some pictures and tour the Arch, saw Sea Lions, and Lovers Beach where normally you could jump out but the water was very rough so we could not. CLEANLINESS AND ROOMS - No complaints here, rooms were clean and comfortable, mini-bar was included and fully stocked all week. The resort itself was verrrry clean, always saw friendly staff out cleaning, scrubbing floors, walkways, and pools or refreshing green and sand areas. RECOMMENDATIONS - In the future I will 100% be booking the RIU again but I would upgrade to the Palace in the future (same property). The Palace apparently offers better food, poolside drink service at your beach chairs, and will still allow access to the Santa Fe pools and restaurants (but Santa Fe cannot attend the Palace). Also, from what we heard the Palace is a more relaxed atmosphere as opposed to partying. Overall, great trip!! Looking forward to going back!!

Grand Decameron Los Cabos: Great place to stay

Loved this resort. Very clean, friendly staff and great location. The only thing they could improve on is a larger variety of food choices and adding more privacy to the bathrooms in the rooms. The pools were well maintained and always warm.

Grand Decameron Los Cabos: Amazing Resort

The Resort was clean, everyone was very friendly, the food was great and the view was breathtaking. Being able to sit on porch sipping a hot coffee and watching the whales in the morning was unbelieveable.

Royal Solaris: Great resort for families with small children

This resort proved to be the perfect spot for my family. It catered very nicely to my 2 small children and I appreciated how clean and well kept the grounds were. For a 4 star resort, it had 5 star service, cleanliness and entertainment.

Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: Great Resort

My sister and I visited this resort several weeks ago. It was a wonderful experience. Great food, lots of variety, wonderful staff. The first time I have been to a resort where the night buffet was actually better than the a la cartes. If you are a beach person, this is not the place to go, but if you like lounging by the pool, it has 2 wonderful areas, one active pool and one quieter. Has a spectacular view I would definitely return here

Grand Decameron Los Cabos: Beautiful resort!!!!

Rooms are big ,clean. Didn't luck anything. Love the place ,will come back to LosCabos ,even that there is no swimming in the ocean,but there are nice public beaches,very clean,swimmable. Food was excellent !!!!! Recomend Mexican coffee and try some jicama!!!!!
