Dec 19, 2025Great Resort, Fun Vibe, and Excellent Value
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We stayed at Riu Santa Fe Los Cabos from December 11–18 in a standard king room, and overall had a fantastic experience. Our room was in a great central location, directly across from the spa and gym, and within easy walking distance to all restaurants, pools, and the beach. Despite the resort being huge and at full capacity, it never felt overly crowded or overwhelming. No issues finding a lounger or table at lunch or dinner. The restaurants are first-come, first-served, which worked well. We recommend going early, putting your name on the list, grabbing a drink at the bar, and returning when your buzzer goes off. The sushi restaurant was our favorite 😍. The steakhouse was just okay, but the buffet never disappointed, especially for breakfast and dinner, with a wide variety of options for all tastes. Service was excellent and everything was kept very clean. Housekeeping was outstanding-our room was cleaned early every morning, the minibar was restocked daily, and any extra requests were delivered promptly after a quick call to the front desk. The Riu Parties were a big hit with great energy and a fun atmosphere. The gym was also a pleasant surprise, offering a free steam room and cold plunge pool, which isn’t well advertised but definitely worth checking out. The gym has all new equipment 😎 The pools were clean and well maintained, and there was never a shortage of beach towels, which could be exchanged daily. The beach is not swimmable due to strong currents, but you can still go in waist-deep to cool off—just be cautious ⚠️. The marina is about a 10-minute cab ride away. One ride cost around $10, though another charged $17 on the way back, so prices vary. We went deep-sea fishing, booking directly at the marina. One tip: make sure to see the actual boat you’ll be taken out on, not just photos, as we were disappointed with the boat quality. Check-in and check-out were smooth and efficient. One downside was that some weekend guests were rude, smoking in the pools and dropping ashes, which took away from the experience at times. Overall, the resort is geared toward a younger crowd, but all ages are welcome and can enjoy themselves. A couple of swimup bars down by beach are 18+ We would highly recommend Riu Santa Fe Los Cabos and would absolutely return.

Dec 19, 2025Great resort! Only a few problems: power, false alarm, wifi
We just got back from our honeymoon at Riu Santa Fe. Overall it was a good experience. A couple things: Our villa seemed to have some power problems with flickering lights, power went out for a couple minutes and the water stopped mid shower which is never fun. There was also an alarm that went off before 7am in our villa, villa 7, which I heard happened previous times in the same villa. It was a false alarm which said to exit the building and of course everyone who exited was not impressed by having to leave the building and having little explanation as to why it went off. The wifi is not easily accessible everywhere on the resort and signed us out multiple times. Also, be prepared for the mandatory environmental tax fee. Ours was 42 for 7 nights. The food was alright; We liked the Mexican restaurant the best, the italian and the buffets. And the serving staff was wonderful. The housekeepers did an amazing job keeping everything clean. Also, be sure to check out the Riu parties. The white party was a blast!!

Another amazing stay at the Riu Santa Fe
This was my 2nd trip to Riu Santa Fe. My building this time was about as far as it could be from everything besides the party area and the water park, which I didn't care for. I probably could have moved rooms after the first day, but I wasn't that worried about it. The staff is always friendly, but I do have my favorites (Edwin, Hanzel, Tollie, Christian, Miguel, Hilario, and David). The grounds staff is always working on something to keep up with maintenance on the buildings and grounds. I don't participate in many activities at the resort, but there seems to be something for everyone going on all of the time. There are many different great food and drink options. I would definitely go back again!
