Jul 09, 2025Great All Around Resort
If it's possible to be all things to all people, the RIU Santa Fe might fit the bill. It's family friendly with lots of big pools and activities for kids, day and night. The waterslides are fun for all ages, from 12 - 64 on our trip. The swim up bars are great for adults. If you are looking to let loose, then check out the Jungle Party on Tuesday afternoons. While it looks like complete mayhem, if you look closely, it's run really well. The resort knows what it is doing. For a resort that feeds over 1500 guests every day, there was a wide variety of food options and the quality was very good. Don't go in expecting fine dining, as that's not what the resort offers. Look at the website and read the reviews before you book. If you think it will be a good fit for the type of trip you're looking for, you won't be disappointed. If you are looking for a quiet couples trip, book somewhere else.

Jul 03, 2025HUGE RESORT
Be prepared to walk a lot as the resort is huge!!! only one of the buildings has an elevator so prepare yourself for many steps if your above the first floor. Food was decent but if you don't get there early good luck getting in at all at the restaurants. The buffet has plenty of food choices and don't sleep on the tacos and hamburgers!!! They were delicious!!! The parties are super fun and have plenty of finger foods!!! The rooms were clean as a whistle and the housekeepers are so very nice!!! The beach is COVERED with vendors selling more than you can expect and will not leave you alone, so prepare yourself for that if you are planning on sitting down on the patio chairs on the beach!

Family friendly, but can be loud on days where night pool parties are
Stayed here with my wife and kids during early June 2025. We booked a Monday through Thursday stay. Service was absolutely wonderful. All of the workers we've interacted with were friendly, pleasant, and very polite! We stayed at the friends and family rooms, for the extra beds, which wasn't too close to the riu pool party area, but it was close to the kids care and kids pool, which was nice. Overall most of the time was very quiet, until Wednesday evening for the White pool party in the evening. The pool party wasn't too bad, music was loud until 10 or 11pm at night, however there were a lot of drunk people kicking, knocking on neighboring doors, which kept us up. I'd would love to book another trip here because apart from that, all of the other things were wonderful. Nextt time, we'll be booking a Saturday through Wednesday to avoid the drunk folks on Wed evenings.
