Great experience! Everything in this place exceeded my expectation. The place are well maintained. The staff were all dedicated to make each guest feel that we are valued. Minor issue in the buffett area I noticed…… It was the dried and a little bit chewy roast beef they served two nights in a row. Also, the shampoo and conditioner that we requested were not refilled. Overall, we had a great time.

Jan 17, 2026Great experience at the Riu Santa Fe!
I've read some negative reviews about this resort, and let me tell you - don't worry about going here. I wound up getting booked in one of the villas that I think hasn't been recently upgraded (number 8), and my room was still lovely! The mattress was comfortable and new (but firm, be aware), and pillows were a bit soft, but I didn't request that they be changed, I slept fine with them. I say "not recently upgraded" because my family stayed in villa 9 which had clearly been updated, mirroring what you might get at a Riu Palace. With that being said, really, no major complaints about my room, I slept fine! The only minor complaint that I had was that my mini-fridge stopped working after 2 days. I made the first service call about it around 10 PM, which admittedly was late - the tech came by at 1:30 AM, so I ignored it. The second call he came right away and replaced the fridge, but that too stopped working after the second day. I didn't bother requesting another one since I didn't really drink too much from the fridge anyway. Security was fine, I kept some minor valuables in the safe and nothing was touched. Felt perfectly safe going around the resort at night as well. The only negative thing I could say about the resort was the food, IF you stuck to American/Canadian fare. Tacos were incredible (at Tiki Tacos) and anything local at the buffets were good too. If it were me, I would have just stuck to that, but I had family with me and they wanted more western fare; to that end, the American/Canadian options are good, just not great. Cocktails were also a bit weak, to solve that issue ask for the liquor you want, or enjoy as-is, since they are still very tasty. If it really bothers you, stick to beer or wine, those are fine. Honestly, great value for the money and the staff were lovely.

Lots of room to walk around
This is a very big property and I liked how no matter how many people were there I never felt too crowded. The food wasn't fantastic for vegetarian but it was okay and I wasn't expecting anything great in Mexico. Always had lots of delicious fruit though. The balconies are pretty awful. There's just no privacy whatsoever in 80% of them. But I know that's not the resorts fault because of the way the buildings are set up. The one major complaint I have with the doors of the rooms. They need to put some sort of buffer where the door shuts slower because no matter where you are in any room in any building when someone walks out of their room their door slams and you hear it in every room in the building. The entire staff was always very friendly.

Nice vibe. Great staff.
Second trip this year. This one felt a little more family attended and the surf was swimable. We found our room clean and totally functional. Regular bar stocking and room cleaning. I can always find something to eat, and enjoy the efforts of the kitchen. Love trying soups and rice dishes, nice seafood night, and tacos at the tiki every other day. Bed is comfy. I weirdly need weight so we asked for extra blankets and pillows and were accommodated right away. We have stayed at a few RIUs now and are impressed with the staff quality. We wanted to thank Mercedes for looking after all our room needs. A special thanks to Yan. Yan, can. She saved my vacation assisting me to replace necessary medication in the least stressful way possible, thanks. Meals were a delight with exceptional service from Brenda, Hoy, and Luna, although all staff were willing to help and even smile. We also wanted to thank Julian, Dessi, Jilberto, Edwardo, Guillermo and the rest of the pool area staff. The chicken roaster guy was great too. Funny taxi story. Asked the Nexus guy how much, approx, to Sand bar massage ( fantastic gem, just need to work on their booking system): $10.00. Taxi guy #1, 16.00, taxi guy #2 return $17.00 US. Unbelievable views for breakfast with humpbacks actual breaching in our view. Not fond of the cruise ships blocking the view, but I get it. Loved the trip to Lovers beach. We both did get abdominal illness for a day each, but witnessed lots of cleaning of hand rails and elevators. Had fun and will likely return. I really love the 7000 block. Thanks again.
