Nice clean resort but took a day to get the room we requested and if you want premium liquor you have to pay a lot more to be in the elite club. Staff in dining hall and bars were good. Wasn’t so happy with front desk not having our room when we checked in.

Great spot for a kidless vacation

We had a great vacation here. The service was amazing and the resort was super clean. The food was decent and little bit above average for a typical all inclusive resort. We would 100% stay here again.

Riu Baja California is a great option for a vacay in Cabos!!! There are plenty of dining options, especially with having access to the two sister resorts Riu Los Cabos and Riu Santa Fe. On the beach, directly behind the resort, there are many options for activities and boat transportation. The resort has multiple pools, including two that are heated, with swim up bars and bar seating. If you are looking for a big party resort like the Cancun location, you may want to book Riu Santa Fe instead. All of the party style entertainment was at Riu Santa Fe. During the day, Riu Baja California was quiet aside from competitive corn hole cheers and drinking games from guests. The staff was very accommodating and protective, responding quickly and efficiently to any issues observed. Also, the staff did not appear to be looking for tips but were grateful for any tips offered. ***Get the Elite Club upgrade, it is definitely worth it***

Overall we enjoyed our stay here. The staff are super attentive and friendly. The rooms are fine, nothing special. The food is just average but considering it’s an all-inclusive and they’re feeding hoards of people, that’s to be expected. I always appreciated the salad bar and fresh fruit bar. As for the free alcohol, we found out that Mexico has lower proofs on their alcohol so we started ordering doubles. We thought they watered it down! No, it just takes more to pack a punch.

Over all this resort is extremely clean. Staff was amazing. The food was just OK. The adult side was a smaller resort and you had to walk over to the larger resort for other amenities such as night clubs and sports bars, etc.. Views are amazing and pools were heated which is a must in January.
