It was a lot of ants inside of the room they did get in all of our bags and also in the beds as well (really bad infestation of ants). We had to beg them to get a room switch because the first room was dirty and the toilet did not work at all. When they finally switched the room, after they told me it was no more rooms then they had to come switch out a part to that toilet in the new room, because it was also not working. The view was great, the food was very cheap. They also closed the pools way to early, after we got back each day from doing activities we could not even get into the pool. This is one place I would not go back to. I was very disappointed, because I heard the RIU’S were a great place to stay.

Dear Guest, Thank you for evaluating your stay with us. We are truly sorry we did not live up to the standards that you expected from us and for the disappointing experience you had as our guest. Our goal has always been to exceed our guest's expectations as we deliver quality service and make your stay memorable. In regards to the ants, please know also that our resort is treated regularly by professional pest control teams. Your experience is not reflective of the quality service and accommodations we wish to provide, and we take your comments seriously. We know we can do better, and for this reason your comments have been shared with the appropriate members of our team to study to take corrective measures where necessary. Nevertheless, we would love another chance to give you the stay you were hoping for. Kind regards Hotel Riu Santa Fe Online Reputation Manager

Our patio door was messed up causing us to have no air conditioning our entire stay. Front desk never even sent anyone to room. Both balcony chairs were broke. We were told they would be replaced the next day, never did. Large amount of amenities were closed due to covid. We were not warned prior to arrival. The covid test process I was told about prior to arrival was completely different than what actually took place. On a positive, our vow renewal was great! Coordinator was very impressive. Unfortunately, our songs were messed up. However, ceremony was perfect and cake was delish. We would probably stay again, but would be much more demanding of repairs...

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We are truly happy to read you enjoyed your vow renewal ceremony! At the same time we are sorry to read that you encountered so many inconveniences in your room and that our team did not turn around this situation to your complete satisfaction during your stay. We also regret that you were not completely satisfied in regards to the PCR-tests which are offered during our guests' stay. We will certainly forward your concerns to the responsible team for a proper follow up as what you describe does not at all reflect our usual standards. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback. We hope that you decide to give us a second chance and stay with us again in the future, Hotel Riu Santa Fe Online Reputation Manager

The hotel location view to the ocean was beautiful and the night entertainment was cool. We enjoyed the drinks and that it was not an overcrowded spot. However the food, communication and overall experience does not encourage us to stay here again. The rooms are definitely an older feel and could use an update and the restaurant food and times were not good. Breakfast was the best meal of the day.

Overall it was a good experience. The hotel was clean and most staff was very friendly. The food was ok. The buffet had a large selection. The restaurants were very disappointing except for the Steak House that was not to bad. The Spa is outrageously priced. I did get a massage but was not impressed. I give this hotel a 5 out of 10. Would I return...maybe but would not be my first choice.

The staff is nice and friendly. Hotel and room clean. The place is huge so a lot of walking. The food is horrible. No room service. Also no food available after hours. Also the alcohol served is the cheapest of the cheap. Smirnoff and Jimador were the only decent alcohols available. Sorry but will not be staying here again.
