    Mosquitoes!

    Awful! The mosquitoes here are relentless! I got bitten here over 10 times both in my room and walking around the resort. Plus the flies are all over the place. Even in the food! I really regret coming here, it's awful. The staff are nice and the food is ok (I like the American County restaurant). But it's not worth becoming mosquito food over. Luckily they do sell mosquito repellent at the gift shops so that's a relief. I am never coming here again.

    Second visit even better

    This was my second visit, first time was over 15 years ago. This is a great resort in a good location. The room was clean and modern, food in all restaurants was always good, pools were great with a beautiful view of tge ocean and sunset. Its too bad the beach is unsafe, but you are only a 20 minute walk to a nice swimable beach.

    No quiet areas to enjoy your holiday

    Before you book - be aware this is a large, busy and noisy resort. Ideal for those who want to party .. A little disappointing as There is no quiet area to relax and have peaceful downtime. Lots of screaming kids in the central pool versus lots of drunk partiers in the ocean front pools. Food is mediocre and not to standard of other RIU hotels we have stayed at. Most of the al la carte are buffet as well. The grounds and room were extremely clean.

    Nice but needs some improvements

    There were a few things I'd like to see changed: 1. Add one sweet white wine and one sweet red wine, to all the restaurants, rather than all being dry. 2. If you are going to indicate the pools near the beach area are for adults only then monitor it better. 3. Monitor the noise after 8pm in the outside area - fights, screaming, loud party laughter. 4. Improve the wifi connection instructions. 5. Provide a Coffee Bar with true Latte's and Cappuccinos. Beyond those suggestions we enjoyed our stay at the Santa Fe.
