Where do i begin.... if you're young and middle class and dont mind ok food/drinks and a 1995 room, this place is for you. The place is too big for it's own good. Takes forever to get anywhere. It's worth the extra $$ to stay at a high end place like ME Cabo or Casa Dorada. The staff is useless... More

I spent 3 nights at the Riu Santa Fe with my wife and our 5-month-old. It was sort of an experiment to see what kind of traveling could be done with our new baby. Pre-baby, my wife and I were adventurous travelers - we rented a car and drove through rural Argentina with only myself knowing some "Burrito Spanish". So... More

What a disappointment. It was inexpensive I will give them that but I guess you really do get what you pay for. My wife and I stayed at the hotel from May 10-13th and by the end we were more than happy to leave. Where do I begin? The Buffett looks great when you do a quick once around but... More

Because there DEFINITELY IS that... My bf and I are definitely the kind of vacationers that when we go to the beach, we just want to relax. Yes, I had read the reviews of this resort, but I figured "eh, what the hell? The party-goers can do their thing, and I'm sure I can just crack open a book and... More

We just returned from a week at the Riu Santa Fe. I was a bit skeptical about the hotel after reading many of the reviews, however we were pleasantly surprised. We got a gorgeous ocean view room in building 7. The room was clean and spotless. We had a balcony with a table/chairs with an incredible view of the pool... More

We visited the Santa Fe from May 3 - 10. Overall, we had a good trip - especially for the $900 each that we paid. We found the rooms and resort very clean and the staff very friendly. We were in building 5 facing the Palace so we didn't have any sound issues from on the grounds and, surprisingly, there... More

My girlfriend and I went down to the Santa Fe on April 11/2013 and were having a good time. The rooms weren't too bad although the one we had was facing a field and walkway for the staff, but otherwise pretty good. Rooms were stocked with liquor and beer and we started our relaxation time by the pool. About halfway... More

I spent May 6 - 10th at the Riu and it was not long enough! I found it to be the perfect mix of relaxation and a fun, party type atmosphere. I spent a long time reading reviews on this site before booking as it was our first trip to Cabo and although I agree with quite a few of... More
