This was our second time to visit the Santa Fe. We had a great time on our trip. All the staff we came in contact with were wonderful. They want to make sure you have an enjoyable stay. We stayed in bldg. 7 with a partial ocean view. The room was the same as the one we had in bldg.... More

I must say I don't know where people stayed who complained about this place. We stayed her Jan 13-17 for a little mother daughter getaway. Yes there were a few glitches in this place but come on your on vacation. First check in was a little slow but not bad at all. Upon arrival to our room, we had a... More

The location was great. Pools that were heated were amazing but they didn't heat all of them for some reason. The staff always seemed to be going out of their way to help. The grounds were beautifully manicured & extremely clean. The New Year's Eve buffet was fabulous. The only complaint I would have was that there wasn't much to... More

This is a secret waiting to get out. This place is GREAT. It sits right on the beach. The pools are fantastic, the swin up bars are great. They will fix you anything you want, a small tip and they will have the next one waiting on you when they see you coming over. The staff are wonderful, they will... More

We were there as a 3 family group celebrating a birthday over Christmas and it was the worst experience i have ever had in a hotel/resort. My family and I have traveled a lot, and stayed in many different places. THIS RESORT IS TERRIBLE. They lie, and cheat. My dad had documented proof and reservation of how much we would... More

Overall service and accomodations I believe is average. Our room had 2 small double beds and all you can drink mini-bar. On a 4-day, 3-night stay, I was already tired of the food on the last night. There is not much in the way of variety of dishes at all the buffets. The reservation-only Asian restaurant was actually very good!... More

We were at the resort over Christmas with three sets of family. It's a good place for this type of trip. Food and drink: The buffets had great variety. We went to the a la cart restaurants a couple of times but actually found the buffet to be better. Difficult to make reservations as well. The wait staff were attentive... More

Sorry to give an average review, but it truly was an average experience. Highlights: good location and proximity to the marina and downtown area. The views from the beach are amazing. We got a rate of $82/night per person on ------------ so we didn't arrive with high expectations at all. That's about the best all-inclusive rate for that location. Food:... More

This was our first time at an all inclusive. But, we had read many reviews of this place so we more or less knew what we were getting. We stayed there January this year. We enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean and the staff friendly. Overall the resort was very clean. We enjoyed relaxing at the beach or pool... More

I am not kidding the coffee in the buffet and a la carte was the worst I have ever had at an all inclusive. Weak and had an odd taste as if they used paper coffee filters with a strong taste. The espresso came out of an instant coffee machine, with the americano and cappaccino. The resort is new but... More
