I'll start by saying the setting is so very beautiful. We had been to Cabo back in Feb & our neighbors had always wanted to go there, so they planned a fall trip. We had previously stayed next door at the Palace but had walked thru the Santa Fe so we knew it was nice. Check in was smooth &... more

We stayed a week at the RIU and also met some friends in Mexico that stayed there also. Check in was good, although our version of ocean veiw and theirs were two different things! We paid for an ocean view room and ended up with a view but not on the ocean, we were inside the "u" shape of the... more

I went to the RIU Sante Fe with my sister-in-law and we had a blast. The hotel is huge! They have 2 huge pools, one near the beach and one further in back. Both had plenty of chairs. Once we went to the pool in the back and had the pool almost to ourselves. The beach was very clean and... more

The restaurants advertised were closed on a number of days during our stay. They were closed more than they were opened. The buffet was plentiful but food was not tasty and very bland. The bar was filled with a number of no name brands and wine was served with ice. The steakhouse served vegetables that were rotten inside and steaks... more

This was a pleasant surprise. We are familiar with Mexico, but have never been to the Baja. Although Hurricane Rick was supposed to be closing in on us, it never really came to be. The 2-3 days of cooler, wet weather were fine with us. When it rains there it is still warm (unlike Vancouver Island!). After that the sun... more

A group of 20 us went down to the Riu Santa Fe for my Wedding. Even with experiencing two tropical storms we had the best vacation ever, my husband and I stayed an extra week for our honeymoon and still didn't want to leave. We worked on Royal Carribean Cruise Lines for 2 years, so I have a pretty good... more

We were in building 3, the beautiful pool right outside our door that had a pool bar - didn't open at all when we were there. We had to walk to get to another pool bar instead. Was told there wasn't enough guests. Liquor was worst than well. We went out and had to purchase our own. Sportsbar - bartenders... more

Having been on the road for almost 7 months we decided that we needed a rest before the long haul back to Australia from LA. So we chose the Riu Santa Fe for a 6 day "just reading and lying by the pool " type break. We found a very reasonably priced flight, transfer and accomodation package on the internet.... more

We recently stayed at the Riu Santa Fe before meeting up with the rest of the family before a wedding in Cabo. Both my wife and I found this place to be exactly what we were after. We had read numerous reviews regarding the restaurants and buffets but we found these to be more than adequate. Nothing extraordinary but when... more
