The hotel environment , food and entertainment were good. Staff were friendly. Just the room wasn’t comfortable. They gave us a room with a big king size bed for family of 4. It was like two twins size mattress were beside each other, I have a 16th and 8 year old and it was too uncomfortable for us

Great property, went on a solo trip. That being said safety was a concern, felt safe the whole time, the greyline shuttle from the airport was perfect and communicated for my end of trip lovely. I didn’t leave the resort, so I have nothing to say safety wise on that. The buffet wasn’t anything great, there were a lot of options though. Didn’t really have to worry about getting a pool side chair (probably a perk of needing only one). The drinks were okay, the food by the pool side bar was probably the best, I only ate and drank the all inclusive things. There was a wide range of young spring breakers and mix of families, maybe it was my timing but it wasn’t super obnoxious. I was in villa 9, apparently is notoriously the party area. A little bit of a walk to it but honestly, wasn’t a bad walk. The noise in the villas on a Saturday night wasn’t great in my villa, but again..spring break. However, every other night was quiet. Not resort related…wear loads of sun screen and take shade often. I am not white and was too confident with only sun screen and was in the pool and sun for hours. That was a mistake to not take a break. So, learn from my ignorance. The other thing I would have liked with the rooms are the tvs. I know you don’t go to Cabo to stay in your room, but downtime. There’s no apps to link your Netflix or anything and you can’t mirror your phone either. So maybe bring a laptop or something if you want to continue your shows or movies.

It was spring break filled with college kids that were very respectful. Took my 71 and 74 year old mom and aunt. They had a blast with us. Water taxis at the beach to go to marina area, taxi to town as well is about 15-20 USD.

We absolutely loved Riu Santa Fe and the gorgeous Cabo area. A few things that took the star rating down was the very hard beds in the rooms, many machines in the fitness center weren’t working or had missing parts, and the music was so loud on the 2 dance party nights that we couldn’t sleep. Overall I would highly recommend despite the few negatives!
