I came with my friends to the hotel, hopping it would be an unforgettable experience, it truly was! But not in a good way... We arrived to the hotel around 9 am, since the check in does not start until 3:00 PM, the people at the front desk asked us to leave our luggage with the bell boys. Usually, when... More

I recently traveled to Cabo San Lucas with my wife and parents. We had been to Cabo a couple of different times, but this was our first experience at the Riu Santa Fe. We chose this hotel because we wanted to stay at a reasonably priced all-inclusive hotel. I read the reviews and did a lot of research on the... More

Wow! Where to even begin... Cabo San Lucas is awesome and the RIU Santa Fe is as well. The service is really great. The staff and service exceeded our expectations. Our daughter and fiance chose this resort for their destination wedding. Given some of the reviews, we were a bit skeptical at first. We quickly realized that the resort and... More

This was our first vacation to Mexico - and we are so glad we chose to stay at the RIU Santa Fe. We almost reconsidered after reading some of the negative reviews, but we are so glad we stuck with this hotel! We stayed for 7 days/6 nights - and loved every minute. The room was immaculate when we checked... More

We stayed in building 3. Right in the middle of everything. The food was great. There was never a shortage of cold drinks and the ocean was less than 5 minutes away. We were able to swim in front of the hotel. There is a sanctioned swim area about 10 mins walk that is also nice. My seven year old... More

I traveled to Cabo San Lucas with my fiance and another couple for the first time in March 2012. We usually travel to Riviera Maya for our yearly trip to Mexico. First off, let me say that Cabo is GORGEOUS! The scenery (for Mexico) is like no other place I have been. I highly recommend taking a trip here. With... More

This hotel sits right next to another Riu property that costs more money. I noticed a lot of armbands from the more expensive hotel at our place. I talked to the people from next door and they said that our place was just more fun. The pools are great and the beach was awesome. there are vendors on the beach... More

My husband and I had an amazing time at the Riu Santa Fe. Unfortunately on our 5th day, I developed a bumpy rash on the backs of my legs. I have a nasty case of bed bugs bites. We would have loved to return next year but will not because sleeping in an infested bed is not my idea of... More

Our experience at this hotel was poor. We travelled to have a family vacation with our parents and 2 daughters: - Delayed bags and baby bed - We checked-in and instructed reception to bring us our bags and a baby bed for our 1 year old daughter; we requested the baby bed in advance several times and were assured it...
