    Overall, Decent for the value

    Couples trip for my fiancé and I in December. Overall a good experience, newly renovated. Rooms were nice, pools were nice, restaurants were nice. Food was nothing to write home about but still decent. Definitely a younger crowd and can be a bit of a party spot. The doors in the buildings close extremely hard and are very loud, was woken up almost every night from either people being loud in the hallways or doors slamming. Air conditioner in our room was also extremely loud and woke us up every time it kicked in. Service was excellent by all employees.

    Worst all inclusive EVER!!!

    Riu Sante Fe…the Walmart of all Inclusive. What… that’s an I silt to Walmart. Riu Sante Fe…the Dollar General of all inclusive. I have been all over the world and this is by far the worst vacation experience I’ve had. They put us in a building that is 15 minute walk to the “restaurant” section. That’s in quotes because the food is discussing. The burgers are pink. Not because they’re rare- they are a salmon color throughout. Our room is on the fourth floor of the farthest building WITHOUT AN ELEVATOR!!! A friend we met her has a family of four and they put them in a room with two twin beds. If you can afford any place else, go there!!! If this is all you can afford- I suggest you opt for a staycation and use the money to enjoy wherever it is you are from. Run, run, run from this place!!!

    Awesome stay!

    Awesome place had the best time. We’ve been to Cabo before but this has been the best resort and place we’ve stayed. Will be bringing our family back.

    Taking the time to write this to help someone reconsider

    We have stayed at several resorts in Cabo and this by far was the most disappointing. Slightly cheeper than the other hotels but please spend a little more for a much better experience. If you are looking to mindlessly party and drink watered down alcohol this might be your place but not with kids or family. Food was bland, all the nicer restaurants included were either buffet or of a menu the meat was horrible and food very bad quality. The staff was very unhelpful overall compared to any other Cabo resort we have stayed in - never proactively helping and often very cold when asked any questions. All pools were freezing cold - no heaters pools. The resort raves about kids activities but at night for the kids “shows” the staff basically would pull all the kids on stage and makes them dance - where other resorts had actual shows and music. Huge resort with no elevators to your rooms. Young adults partying all night so much noise and drink people everywhere. Don’t write many reviews but will never visit again

    First time on an all exclusive resort

    First time was amazing. Did get my hopes high for the first time. Service was the key. With my significant other being gluten and dairy restricted. They had option of desserts and other things for her to eat. Nayla at the pool at the back by the beach 10/10 as well.
