Average hotel

The experience was great. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Food was great. Rooms need to have an update. Not enough light. Very dark rooms. Bed is uncomfortable. The location is very good and beautiful. I would not go back to this hotel but definitely will go back to Cabo.

Food is bland, room was dirty

When we arrived to our newly checked in room, it was completely dirty and the bed was not made-not a good sign. In my opinion the food was not edible. Not to mention I saw a cockroach in one of he buffets.

Really relaxing

We really relaxed in perfect weather at the RIU. A little rowdy b/c it was spring break for college kids so I had to call security once b/c of noise, but I guess I was young once. Store way overpriced. Breakfast was great, lunch so so - needed to be a little more of a variety of food at lunch and dinner times. The place was immaculately clean and the staff were wonderful. Overall a great time was had by me and my husband.

RIU Sante Fe was great!

This was our first vacation to Cabo San Lucas and we will definitely go back! RIU Sante Fe was great - very clean, attentive staff, fun guests and plenty of pools and beach to enjoy. The buffets were good - enjoyed the Asian and Italian restaurants but the Steak restaurant was only OK. But, having been at an all-inclusive before it met our expectations.

Snorkel trip through Sun Rider at the Marina in town was great - the crew made the trip so much fun and the lunch was so good! Use the city buses when possible to get into town - they only cost $1 each way.

30th Wedding Anniversary trip

Cabo San Lucas is breathtakingly beautiful. When you arrive at the airport and clear customs, skip the counters they lure you to and walk directly outside to catch your transport. Otherwise they hard sell timeshare meetings to you. We wasted 30 mins. there. We chose Riu because we loved the Riu in Cancun. The Riu resorts are situated next to each other but there is no reciprocity to pools and restaurants. We loved the casual open air atmosphere right away. We asked for an upgrade due to our 30th anniversary and they declined. The pool area is very lovely but I must say the lounge chairs are very cheap plastic and many are broken. The staff are all beyond friendly and accommodating. They kept us entertained and laughing. The shows are great, esp. the Michael Jackson and the Ideal Couple. From what I heard from many, skip the restaurants and stick with the buffet. The main buffet just off the lobby has tons of stations and something for everyone. Rooms are nicely done with granite baths, patios. But... it was very loud at night from party people. Not so many spring breakers but 30-somethings. You get 90 mins. daily of free Wifi per device but that is lobby restricted. For $15/day you can enjoy throughout the hotel. We loved the walkways around the resort. Everything is kept immaculately clean, kind of reminded us of Disney. We would definitely return. We also loved downtown Cabo and the marina area wtih flea market. It was alot of fun. Took a cab from the hotel and it was $12/each way.
