We liked that there were options. We would've like to order off a menu rather than so many "buffet" choices but otherwise it was all good. Thanks

We love going to Riu Santa Fe in Cabo, that’s why we’ve been going there every year since it opened in 2007. Fantastic resort, with friendly, respectful and courteous staff

When we called before staying at hotel to get help with a reservation unable to reach anyone at the hotel. When we arrived the front desk staff stated my son's reservation was showing as a no show and we had to once again pay for him to stay in our room. No kindness or ability to negotiated with us. Very rude service.

Our stay at this property was for lack of a better word, disappointing. Our arrival was met with no offer to send our bags up with a bellhop which would be no great issue except we found that the building housing our room had no elevator. After carrying our luggage upstairs, we were of course hungry and found that every restaurant except the snack bar was closed during a large portion of the day. The snack bar was stocked with fly covered hotdogs and stale fries. When the actual buffets were open, we were greeted with the shocking revelation that there would be 90 minute wait times to get into the restaurants. What kind of resort can't accommodate its guests for mealtimes after having all food services closed for hours? Our next issue came at bedtime when we discovered that our room had no soundproofing and that screams from drunk teenagers could be heard for half the night. We could forgive a bad day except that these things would occur for the entire length of our 7 day stay. Every day was cold food at buffets and every night was loud noise at 3am from rude guests. Staff were for the most part courteous except your spa staff were inappropriately gossiping while my fiancé and I were being massaged and only stopped once they realized my fiancé could speak Spanish. The only thing we can say we liked were that your Riu parties were fun and that the hotel was very clean. We have no plans to stay for a third time atRiu resort and would caution against anyone else staying at one.
