Excellent Value

Overal, all my family was pleasantly surprised for the value received on this trip; it was a beautiful hotel, good location, excellent service and fresh/good food. Things that in my opinion need to be improved: 1)Include free internet; all the hotels in the US, even the cheap motels offer free internet. 2) TVs are too small; they need to be updated to HD and larger size. 3) Need to provide more NFL football games on TV. 4)Cups for non-alcoholic drinks are too small; they need to be at least 12 oz but 16oz will be better to avoid many trip to the fountain drink dispensers. 5)Need to provide self-serve coffee pots available for regular and decaf american coffee at the sports bar 24/7 for the people that have to leave early on tour trips. There is a bar tender there but the service takes too long with the fru-fru coffee machine in there.

Everything but the food

The staff was exceptional, the entertainment was very enjoyable, if you are going there to lounge in the sun it is just what you want the only thing that I wasn't impressed with was the food. It wasn't terrible but was less edible then I expected.

Great Experience

Great experience overall. The service was great, nice and very helpful. Great pools, clean, entertainment, great food. Margerittas a bit too sweet, pool temperature was a bit too cold and beach isnt the best, but overall still a great hotel/experience and I would recommend it.

Friendly environment all the time

I got to the hotel and people were very helpful, my reservation was for full ocean view and they did the arrangements when I asked them that my room was not full view. No problem at all.

Beware if it rains

We had great weather the first 3 days but it rained on the 4th. RIU Santa Fe does not handle rain well. Our porch had an inch of standing water from just very light rain and much of the walk ways had deep puddles as well. If there's any chance of rain during your stay, bring an umbrella. Also, every building had roof leaks even the buffet room.

Dining tip: Long walk from hotel

You can make a reservation once a day for the four themed restaurants. Check the schedules for those restaurants because they're not all open every day so you can better plan which ones you want to try. Don't recommend the steak at the steak house but the other dishes there were quite good.

Food needs help.

Enjoyed my trip to Cabo San Lucas. The resort and room was very clean, the staff was friendly, but the food and drinks were questionable. The food was less than appealing and the Chinese restaurant was definitely not worth the reservation. The buffets need better selection, less grease, and fewer weird combos. Oh, and every mixed cocktail I had tasted watered down, I suspected the liquor was watered down. Better to stick to straight shots. Overall, an OK place for the price, but I'd eat and drink in town.
