Awesome Time
My wife and I went for my 50th birthday and what a great time we had. the staff was great, even though we did have a little of a language barrier, we didn't know spanish. the resort was beautiful, food was awsome, countless places to eat. we went offshore fishing and was able to bring our catch back for them to cook and they did a great job with it. I would come back to this resort. the room was great, clean with a nice view.
We were totally impressed with the Sante Fe Riu! Extremely clean, food was above average for an all inclusive! Rooms were nice! Very fun environment for all ages. Only downfall were that the pools were so cold! Can't wait to go back!

First Trip to Mexico
This was my first trip to Mexico and we picked Cabo because freinds of mine enjoy the Riu Resorts in other countries. The resort was about 45 minutes from the airport and we used transportation set up by Cheap Carribean which always works well because you get there and it is all set up for you, Check In was so quick and easy and we were greeted with drinks and friendly staff at the resort right away. We got to the room which was a perfect size for us and everything was very clean. We hit the buffet lunch areas just in time for a afternoon snack at 4pm. We ate at the buffet for every meal as getting good times on reservations for the other places seemed to be hard unless you got to the reception area first thing in the morning. The buffet was really good though so we had no problem with this. They had all types of food and different food and desert stations to chose from so you never left the buffet hungry. The Sports Bar has snacks like hot dogs, hamburgers, ham & cheese sandwiches, fruit, nachos and a microwave to heat them all day long. The food selection here could be better for late night but some resorts offer nothing for 24 hours so it was good. The beach in front of the resort is not for swimming but you can sit in the sun on the beach or at the 3 pool areas by building 7 and watch the volleyball games, parasailers, jet skiers, cruise ships and boats all day. We stayed in building 5 which was centered in the middle of the resort so it worked better for walking between everything. The pool near the main lobby is huge and has its own swim up and regular bar but is quieter than the pools in the building 7 area as that seems to be party central. It was nice that you could choose your area's,party time or quiet relaxation and conversation. The only problem that I could say about this resort is that the walls in the rooms are very thin so it is noisy. You can here your neighbors all around you, anyone in the halls and outside. If you are staying were people are roudy at night sleep can be tough. This all being said I will be back here again soon!

Can you swim on the beach in front of the resort?11 answers
11 months ago
Susan
yes indeed
muddymont
yes you certainly can even at night but just be careful when the waves are really high
Mregt
Yes, but depends on the weather (wave) condition. The waves are quite big.
alwa
The beach in front of the resort is not safe for swimming. Some dare devils do, but at their own risk. The waves form quickly and break, more like crash into the shore. However you can walk 100 yards in either direction and get some beach swimming in.
Carcar
Yes you can although the waves were pretty big. There is a private ripped off area on the beach for the resort goers only. This is great as the merchants can not encroach on this space. We rented a jet ski on the each in from for $40 and had a great time. I would recommend this resort. We just got back this week.
LVFam
No. you cannot swim at the beach in front of the resort. You will have to go further down closer to the marina....
Hardy19
No you can not. The waves are extremely strong and there is no life guard. I tried for 5 minuets I lost my control and ocean took my $200 worth sunglasses. Do not do it.
mba44
No you can't, the waves and undertow are way too strong. You can take a water taxi to lovers beach (about 10 minutes away) but even then the tide is very strong and not ideal for weak swimmers or kiddo's.
getawaygal
There were a few swimmers at the beach, but the tide was quite rough. Also, the sand is rough and beach is quite steep. Much nicer at Puerto Vallarta.
riptide2688
Not reccomended as the under tow is Dangerous.
jpalermola
no you can not, the under tow is too great

Does the resort have snorkel equipment available to rent? If so, is it included or are there additional fees?1 answer
4 weeks ago
Dani
Because the beach is not swimmable , it does not appear that this resort offers complimentary snorkel gear. There may be a dive shop near by or on the premises that will rent equipment for an additional cost.

Hotel Description
All Inclusive Fun at Riu Santa Fe, Los Cabos
From a partially submerged lounge chair gaze across the infinity pool at Riu Santa Fe in Los Cabos. Past the iridescent Sea of Cortes, you'll see the stunning El Arco rock formation at Land's End. Your 24-hour, all inclusive resort, just three miles from downtown Cabo San Lucas, provides just the right balance of serenity, spectacular vistas and thrilling nightlife.
You'll find more ways to pamper yourself at Riu Santa Fe than time to indulge in all of them. While the kids splash in a pool especially for them or engage in Kids Club activities, head to the swim-up bar at an adult pool or indulge in the magical warmth of a Jacuzzi. Of course, you can't go wrong with a rejuvenating massage or complimentary steam bath and sauna at Renova Spa.
It's hard to improve on moonlight and sea breezes, so three of the five restaurants offer outdoor dining. Take a seat on the terrace at La Baja California, the main restaurant, to fully enjoy the buffet. A Mexican restaurant, La Mision, and a steakhouse, Torote, are both poolside. For a gourmet treat, try Peking duck at Zashila followed by yummy fried ice cream.
If you're the type who can't sit still when the music begins, then don't miss the excitement at Pacha. Open six nights a week, this charming nightclub has them moving to a disco beat. If, on the other hand, you enjoy entertainment that lets you stay seated, the resort also provides excellent live entertainment in the evenings. As the night winds down, make your way to your guest room, where you'll find the same blend of local warmth and contemporary decor that makes this resort special.
You could stay at Riu Santa Fe a month and not experience everything in Los Cabos! Long before the peninsula boasted world-class golf courses and Cabo San Lucas laid claim to its hip nightlife, fishermen trekked to Los Cabos for the magnificent marlin fishing. Terrific vistas, non-stop fun and quiet spots make this one a winner.
