We were there as a 3 family group celebrating a birthday over Christmas and it was the worst experience i have ever had in a hotel/resort. My family and I have traveled a lot, and stayed in many different places. THIS RESORT IS TERRIBLE. They lie, and cheat. My dad had documented proof and reservation of how much we would... More

Overall service and accomodations I believe is average. Our room had 2 small double beds and all you can drink mini-bar. On a 4-day, 3-night stay, I was already tired of the food on the last night. There is not much in the way of variety of dishes at all the buffets. The reservation-only Asian restaurant was actually very good!... More

We were at the resort over Christmas with three sets of family. It's a good place for this type of trip. Food and drink: The buffets had great variety. We went to the a la cart restaurants a couple of times but actually found the buffet to be better. Difficult to make reservations as well. The wait staff were attentive... More

Sorry to give an average review, but it truly was an average experience. Highlights: good location and proximity to the marina and downtown area. The views from the beach are amazing. We got a rate of $82/night per person on ------------ so we didn't arrive with high expectations at all. That's about the best all-inclusive rate for that location. Food:... More

This was our first time at an all inclusive. But, we had read many reviews of this place so we more or less knew what we were getting. We stayed there January this year. We enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean and the staff friendly. Overall the resort was very clean. We enjoyed relaxing at the beach or pool... More

I am not kidding the coffee in the buffet and a la carte was the worst I have ever had at an all inclusive. Weak and had an odd taste as if they used paper coffee filters with a strong taste. The espresso came out of an instant coffee machine, with the americano and cappaccino. The resort is new but... More

Honestly, I dont have one back thing to say. It was perfect! I went there with my boyfriend, we're both 26, so not old but not spring breakers. There was always something to do, its close to the marina but far enough away to where the beach isn't too crowded (just a walk)...everything was SPOTLESS clean, the food was really... More

Overall it was a great value. We stayed during xmas week and the food on the buffet was good, but no variety from day to day. Not like your going to starve to death. The specialty restaurants did a good job. We only got to the Italian and Steak House. Both were very good. More

We just got back from a trip to Cabo and stayed at the Riu Santa Fe...we chose to stay there since the all inclusive made it a good deal but it was a waste of our money!! We ended up spending quite a bit of money we hadn't planned on spending at restaurants in the city and cab fares because... More
