Our stay at the Riu Santa Fe was an enjoyable one. The grounds were beautiful and well-maintained and the staff was pleasant. Food at the buffet was adequate and there were actually some things that we liked alot. It's buffet food...you wouldn't expect buffet food in the US to be OUTSTANDING so I am not sure why people expect it... more

The resort is nice. The food is low quality buffet style food. We have been to other all-inclusives in Cancun, Cozumel and Talum and this is by far the worst ever. To get reservations to the ala-carte restaurants requires going to lobby at 7am to maybe get reservations. We ate at the steakhouse and it was terrible. It is not... more

Went to the Riu for 9 days after the wife spent Christmas at the Riu Palace and loved it. As everyne says, the reservation thing stinks but there was so much great food available, I didn't really miss it. Bartenders and staff are very good. See Carla in the Sports Bar. She is great and goes out of her way... more

We spent 4 days at the resort. Check in was very quick and easy. We were greeted with cold drinks as we checked in. All waitstaff and hotel employees were very nice and helpful. The grounds were clean, and well kept. Rooms were bright, very clean and spacious. The pools were clean and never crowded. We never waited more than... more

Right now a gardenview room for 2 people is pricing out at $131.00 per night. That gives you all your meals and drinks. Where can you get just a room on the beach for $130.00 per night? The Hotel was clean, the food average and the drinks were fine. What do people expect for that much money? more

VIEWS -phenomenal. Landscape has more visual interest and diversity than Cancun i.e. desert location and spectacular views of Land's End (Lover's Cove & Divorce Beach) from the hotel. Go into town (by the Marina) and you'll see homes/businesses built into the rock formations very european-esque, think almalfi coast or greek islands. ROOMS -clean but commercial. water is hard so not... more

We just came back from 7 nights at the Riu Santa Fe. As others have stated its a great resort. We booked through Travelocity and all went well. We tried to upgrade to ocean view rooms at the desk but who wants to pay that kind of money for a room that you just sleep in. We hung out at... more

We just returned from 5 days at the Riu Santa Fe and we are exhausted! First, I have to mention that the people working there are doing everything possible to make everyone comfortable and welcome. The grounds are beautiful and the pools are very nice early in the day, by the end of the day, they are an oil slick.... more
