    All that and more!

    The hotel was as beautiful as the pictures. The staff was very friendly. The food choices went on and on. We ate at a couple of the restaurants but the buffet was our favorite. Lots of choices.

    Great Vacation!

    This place is always amazing! This was our third stay and we are already planning a trip back. Fernando at the Gold Bar is the absolute best! Joaquin at the pool, Carlos at the pool bar, Alan at the pool, Salome at the buffet, they are all terrific! I can’t wait to go back and see all of them!

    Great Adult Vacation Spot

    This was our second time staying at Riu Baja California and most likely will be the only place we stay when we visit Cabo. From the moment we arrived the stay was so amazing and friendly. We were welcomed with a wonderful welcome drink as we checked in. The staff member checking us is was the cutest and was very accommodating with our requests. The entire resort was spotless, every time we turned around there was a staff member scrubbing down something, whether it was the chairs and tables, the stairs or the pool, there was always someone making sure the resort was clean. The rooms were spacious and clean. The housekeeping staff were so friendly. The food at the buffet was so amazing that we did not even try any of the specialty restaurants. We had Aldo as our server at the buffet area both times we stayed and highly recommend him! He was so amazing, always had a table ready for us and was so attentive. The pool parties at Riu Santa Fe were so fun, the music was a little hit or miss but all in all a great time. The resort is in a great location that is close enough to the marina should you want to go into town but far enough away that you are not right in the middle of the chaos. I have recommended this resort to my friends and family over and over again. Can't wait to go back next year.

    Amazing customer service!

    The customer service was phenomenal. Everyone was so welcoming, kind and inviting. The food was incredible and my husband and I have no complaints. We came for our honeymoon and left so refreshed. We didn't want to leave!

    First Time, But Not The Last…

    This was my first time in Cabo and first time at a RIU property. My experience was overwhelmingly positive and I would highly recommend!
