Not for the seasoned traveler

I have stayed at a number of resorts in Cabo over the past 15 years and would have to say this was the biggest diappointment. The service was mediocore at best, the all inclusive food was not good and tried several times to make a reservation for one of the restaurants well ahead of time and never able to receive one. I spoke with another group staying there that claimed they had money stolen from their room and someone from house cleaning showed up at 10:00 pm unannounced and when questioned said it was a mistake. I would not return to this resort.

Great Relaxation Location for your Buck!

My Fiance and I just stayed at the Riu Sante Fe for the last week in May and had a fabulous experience. The room was super clean and the staff is constantly cleaning day and night. We took in a couples massage and pedicure at the spa there and it was fabulous. Food at the buffet was great but if you are able to get into one of the restaurants, it's definitely fine dining. We got into the Itialian restaurant 2 times and the Asian once. We preferred the Italian but both were great. The quiet pool was amazing and we also spent some time at the party side as well and enjoyed the infinity pool. Overall, great bang for your buck!

Go down to the Concierge early in the morning (I went in pajamas) to book into one of the restaurants for supper. It was definitely worth it and breaks up the buffet days.

Excellent

The hotel overall was excellent. It is a massive place - with enormous pools. The restaurants & bars were very good. Overall the whole place was gorgeous & you couldn't ask for more. We had one major complaint however - my son had his own room. That room had a leak in the ceiling over the bathtub that splashed out into the bathroom floor. We called the desk twice about it. Supposedly that sent someone to look at it- but it was never fixed & they didn't offer to move him or anything. It was quite an annoyance.

You can walk just outside the gate & catch a bus for about $1.00 each - or you can take a taxi from the hotel for $12.00 for 3 people.

Great trip to RIU Santa Fe

This hotel is super clean, the buffet is great at all hours, & the pools are immaculate. The shows at night are a fun activity, & the shops on site sell great souveniers. I recommend this hotel 100%.

Cabo weekend getaway

I was totally impressed. The staff was friendly, the grounds and pools are beautiful, the food is good, it's only a $10 cab ride from downtown cabo. I would absolutely stay here again. Great value and just a really nice place to go to enjoy a vacation.

First Cabo Visit

This was my first time visiting Cabo and it was the best time ever!! We went May 3-7th and should have stayed longer. The resort was great and the staff were so friendly. It was hard to get reservations for the 4 restaurants but we didn't mind because we loved the buffet. Everything was always clean and there was always an employee cleaning if needed. My only complaint would be that the beds are a little hard but we were so tired that it didn't even really matter. I will definitely come back here to stay!!!

Overall good value

Good for the $. If I went back I would book somewhere else. Didn't have a bad experience I have just had better. To get drinks at the pool there is no wait staff. You have to physically walk to the bar every time. There is no room service.....really? Food was good. Location was good. Overall we really enjoyed it, only thing lacking was superb service.

Awesome Homeymoon!

From the moment we walked in till the time we left, everyone was extremely nice and nice! It was my first time in Cabo or out of the country and i felt extremely safe with Grey Line Services picking us up and dropping us off. But the Riu Sante Fe was just great, from the people, the food and the drinks! Keep in mind it was all inclusive so as hard as it is to cook buffet style food for everyone at the resort but it defintely was good stuff. There is alot of walking espicaaly if you are in Building 7 but thats where the best pool is, the best views of the ocean were! My one and only complaint was they didnt have any channels in English but 4 and me and my wife werent into the whole shopping and drinking like we were 21 so when we got to the room it would have been nice to choose from some TV or to order some movies but its ok. I would defintely go there again and im looking forward to it being that ive already gone! The grounds on the resort was clean as could be, the beach was awesome beaides the people that were trying to sell u stuff but once u told them No they would stop. I gave this hotel 4 stars and the only thing is holding me back from that 5th star is that TV situation but overall great time, great place, awesome people! I wished i coulda stayed longer and i cant wait to go back! Thankyou Riu Sante Fe!
