I went to Cabo with my girlfriend from May 22-26 and decided to stay at the RIU Santa Fe because we got a great deal on TravelZoo ($1214 for flight and 4 night stay). I was a bit hesitant at first due to the numerous negative reviews of noise, food poisoning and theft, but decided to take the plunge since...

The facilities at this hotel are decent and there are several really nice pools on the property as well as a nice spa/fitness center. The food at this hotel is terrible. A lot of the buffet food is recycled at the different meals throughout the day, and the restaurants on-site are really not much better. They make it really difficult...

My wife and I usually go to the Riviera Maya and have stayed at a number of all-inclusives there. We thought we would give Cabo a try since we live on the west coast and it is much easier to get there than Cancun. As for the resort, it would be hard to say anything negative. The food at the...

Prices of almost everything is calculated in US dollars!! I bought pesos at ~10 to 1 and ende up paying for things at the new 12 to 1 rate since the value of the USD improved while I was there... If you want to take cash to avoid international transaction fees, just bring USD. My girlfriends and I had a...

Rooms and pools very nice. But food and drinks were HUGE dissapointments. Drinks were VERY weak (i question the presence of alcohol at all) and only beer from a tap, no canned or bottled beer. All meals were buffets unless you made prior arrangements, which no one wants to do on vacation. If the drinks and food were better, this...

Went to Riu Santa Fe May 15 thru May 21 2011 with my wife. We had a wonderful time there. We booked thru applevacations.com which included round trip transfer to the hotel from the airport, about a 45 min trip. After we got thru customs you enter the first room with all the time share people, they will trick you,...

We visited the Riu Santa Fe for a friend's bachelor party. The hotel was very clean and we were greeted by very friendly staff upon our arrival. We asked for a specific building and they happily placed us there. The rooms were clean and plenty big. The resort is in very good shape and appears to be fairly new. The...

We stayed at the RIU Sante Fe for 7 nights in Mid May. Weather was fantastic - sunny 90 degrees in the day and around 65 at night. The resort was exceptionally clean - I mean the staff was cleaning all day. There were a couple of weddings going on while we were there, but the front desk said they...

This was my first stay at the Hotel Riu Santa Fe and I must say this result exceeded our expectations. We previously have stayed at the following all-inclusive resorts: Occidental Grand Aruba, Riu Palace Aruba, Dreams Puerto Vallarta. I was hesitant booking at the Santa Fe based on our previously experience at the Riu Palace Aruba which was absolutely terrible,...
