    Good Vacation!

    Great resort! We were a group of 13 and enjoyed just about everything during our stay. Pepe’s by the pool was fantastic! Hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders, fries. Was fun to just grab some food and sit by the pool. All of the bars were fantastic. Loved that we could bring our own reusable cup and they filled it up every time. The buffet was the best all inclusive buffet we’ve ever had. Plenty of choices. As for the restaurants- the best we had was Italian. We did the Japanese restaurant, which was decent. The steakhouse- I’d have to advise others to just skip it. I ordered the filet mignon. Out of 13 of us, my son and I did not get our order. Spoke with the waiter and he comes back with steak and lobster. Three times. And three times I told him I have a shellfish allergy. Finally got my filet- after everyone else was finished and it was dry, cold and overcooked. But- went to the buffet and had a really great meal.

    Great resort!

    We stayed for 6 days and had an amazing time! The food was delicious, the employee's were all very friendly, a little bit of a language barrier but still could chat. Rooms were beautiful, the only thing I have to say is that the beds weren’t comfortable. Other than that, we’ll be back!!

    First time experience

    It was my wife and I first time to Cabo and we decided to stay at Riu Baja California since it was adults only inclusive, but still access to their other resorts. They went above and beyond our expectations. The food was great and there were a plethora of options to choose from for meals no matter the time of day. The entertainment was excellent since every night there was an event happening. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed ourselves and cannot wait to go back.
