    Beds are ROCK HARD !!!

    This is my 3rd year in a row to this resort and the only thing stopping me from giving you 5 stars is your beds are very old and need updating they are as HARD AS A ROCK !!

    Good value

    Upgraded to a suite at the RIU Santa Fe & it was worth it. Gorgeous room with great ocean views. We did not realize we could not explore or use the adjacent RIU properties which was very disappointing. The food was good but not outstanding. Staff was very nice and polite however there was no drink service at the pool. You had to go order your own drinks. We missed being waited on. The RIU pool party is LOUD. For this reason I think we would prefer to stay at the Palace next time. Kinda hard to take an afternoon nap with the banging music. Overall it was a good value and we enjoyed our stay but it is definitely a party place.

    Good experience

    We had an ocean view suite. Extremely clean 10/10. Room recovery service was done every morning and restocked 10/10. The food was just average. Buffet was ok. Nothing exceptional. The restaurants were sub par. The resort is huge. A lot of walking to get from one end of the resort/ beach area to reception area. Very friendly staff. Very friendly bartenders. The only downfall is no servers at tables and beach chairs like other resorts. Over all I’d give this place a 7.5/10. Love the area but I think I’d like to try a smaller resort. The one thing that stands out having said that , is I’m not sure I’d ever find a cleaner room and resort! Can’t say enough good things about that!

    10/10

    I had a fabulous stay at Riu Santa Fe! The food was delicious!! The carving station at the main buffet captured me every night!! Perfectly cooked roast beef, pork, lamb and duck!! Vegetables done perfectly regarding taste and texture. Desserts out of this world and all meals always served with a smile. Breakfast omelets' done to perfection. The resort was impeccably clean 24/7, no matter how busy it was. .Always lots of room at the pool areas and easy to find quiet and solitude as well as a good party vibe to suit your mood. Entertainment was adequate but most people just make their own fun or just sit back and chill. The Riu parties are good to check out. Stay for as long as you like or just pop in for a bit. The Riu Santa Fe is a very affordable all inclusive holiday option with no loss of quality.

    Great vacation

    Everything was great. Anyone complaining about the food - I have to wonder what they're eating at home. Workers kept busy maintaining the grounds. It was clean with many amenities. The pools were great. The beach was great. The rooms were clean and comfortable. My only complaint is we couldn't stay longer.
