Where do I start? Negatives- We booked at least 8 rooms, each room requested different type of rooms, ie single beds or king beds. I also requested numerous times that all rooms be as close to each other as possible. We checked in and my 2 kids 28 and 23 years old had a room with a king size bed, when 2 single beds was requested. Sorry I won't allow my kids to sleep in the same bed! Out of the 8 rooms more than half were in seperate villa's. Another couple had requested a king sized bed, they were given 2 single beds. The hotel has only 1 villa with an elevator which means yours carrying your luggauge up possibly 3 floors! Nothing was mentioned about this and bellhops were very limited. Food at all but one location was buffet style and not good at all. Their top place was a steak house which we all pretty much ordered the Rib Eye Steak, 1/3 was fat the rest had no taste! House keeping only gave one wash clothe when there are two of us per day, took a shower on next to last day and no soap/shampoo left in bottle! They have another RIU hotel behind our Villa, but we are not allowed to be in it! Why? Because they charge more for that hotel and don't want us lower class people in the hotel!!! They give you bracelets when you come so they look at the color of bracelet and when they see its a different color they ask you to leave! Positives- The complex is beautiful! Well kept. Nice pools and swim up bars. Great nightly entertainment.

I had a great stay at Hotel Riu Santa Fe. The property was clean, lively, and well-maintained, with a fun energy throughout. The staff were friendly, attentive, and consistently helpful, which really elevated the experience. I had an oceanfront room with elevator access, but I often took the stairs since it was conveniently close to the pool. One of my favorite parts of the stay was waking up to the sunrise every morning—it was absolutely beautiful and a perfect way to start the day. I went to one of the Riu parties and it was great—high energy, fun crowd, and a really good vibe. Pacha was especially fun. While I do wish the food there had been better, the atmosphere made up for it. A major plus was the convenience of getting a water taxi without having to go to the marina. There was an independent vendor just a few steps from the hotel on the beach, which made things easy and stress-free. I’d recommend skipping hotel-booked excursions unless convenience is your top priority, as there are better and simpler options nearby. That said, I would likely stay at Riu Palace Baja California next time, as the crowd felt more millennial and adults-only, which seems more aligned with my vibe. Overall, I had an enjoyable, smooth, and memorable stay and would definitely return to a Riu property.

Beautiful property, very clean, great size rooms, lots of pool chairs available. Service is fantastic. Entertainment is okay. Food is okay - would prefer more service options. Mostly buffet. App needs upgrading - poor communication as to what is going on on resort. For example, there was apparently fire works on the beach on New Year's Eve, but we had no idea. We were at main stage, which was great, no complaints. The point is there was no where telling us there was fireworks as well.

Travelled with family
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Every staff member was friendly and helpful. When our 2 initial rooms were too separated from each other the front desk helped us find closer rooms. Lots to see and do at the resort. Excellent food options. The New Years dinner was amazing!
