Apr 27, 2025Great place
We enjoyed our stay. A little disappointed at the view from our room. We did have a partial ocean view but mostly it was of an empty lot. And noisier than expected

Apr 26, 2025Fantastic!
We had a wonderful stay at the Riu Baja California! It’s a smaller resort which was actually so nice, has everything you need. And you’re free to check out the Riu palace and Riu Santa Fe as well if you want while you’re there!

A nice resort
I enjoyed my stay at Riu Palace. They are friendly, helpful, and the resort is very clean. Not fond of the location due to not being able to swim in the ocean.

Great vacation, lots options, hotel was amazing
Awesome trip. Hotel is very clean. Staff is helpful and courteous. We loved the options for meals especially the little coffee shop for cappuccino and pastries. Also the 24 hr cafe. It had food, beverages, fruit, and even alcohol to serve your self. Pool area is spacious, great options for loungers, drink servers ( loved the drink carts, saved time waiting). Snack food both hot and cold. View of Lands End, ocean front, and the marina from hotel. Looks amazing at night all lit up. Great tour and adventure options to chose from The one part we discovered is…we’re told do not need to make reservations it is first come first served, but the steak house opens at 530 and you had to be in line by 5 to get in right away. Closes at 930 but they are usually filled up around 8 pm to accommodate the requests. All restaurant food was amazing Loved our stay

INCREDIBLE SERVICE AND FOOD
We really enjoyed our stay at this location. The food in general was above average and our favorite was the steak restaurant but I do recommend arriving early since this seems to be the most popular.
