Had a weekend trip to Cabo. When I got to the property, I was impressed with how clean and nice everything was. The staff was excellent. The food was very, very good. It reminded me of the RIU in Madrid. Had a very European feel to it. Rooms were very, very nice comfortable and quite large. Only thing I wish is that I upgraded to an ocean view room. Oh, and the other thing is, there’s only one elevator that I saw in the front of the hotel. My room was actually downstairs and had a view of the Santa Fe hotel next-door. Can’t wait to go back. Elevator or no elevator I am still wanna stay here again.

Excellent visit in late January

We enjoyed our stay. The rooms were very comfortable and the service was great. Food was good. Drinks too! I am never happy that by the time you get to the pool at 9am - 85% of the chairs have towels laying on them. But, that seems to be everywhere... We also visited the 2 sister properties next door. The Palace seemed to be the quietest property -even though there were some children at the property. But - it was the end of January and most kids are in school....

We had avoided large resorts assuming they were impersonal and generic but Riu was recommended to us. We were pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent- at all restaurants, any need was tended to immediately, the place is spotless, and the staff is helpful and friendly. We recommend Riu Baja California Adults Only- 5 stars!

Property is kept up and in great condition. Rooms looked almost new. Steak house was excellent, Italian was mediocre, Japanese place was good and the buffet for it being a buffet was surprisingly tasty and fresh. Bar pools were small but there is 2 and they’re heated. Tend to get dirty quickly due to their size. Larger pools are not heated and clean. Beach is nice but be ready to be attacked by people selling stuff. They also harass you at the swim up bar with the view of the ocean. I think there needs to be security to push those vendors away to let you breathe better. I’ve been to Cancun 4 times and Cabo is significantly worse when it comes to the beach vendors. They literally wait for you at the stairs when going to the beach and yell/whistle at you when you’re in the pool.

This resort was exactly what we were looking for to celebrate my husband’s birthday. There was always something going on and we enjoyed every little bit of it. From the entertainment, to the service, everything exceeded our expectations. Everything was clean and the food was even good. Did I mention that the service was top notch? Mexico will always be our favorite destination and this is our second time in Cabo, I will definitely choose this resort every time.
