Another amazing stay at the Riu Santa Fe
This was my 2nd trip to Riu Santa Fe. My building this time was about as far as it could be from everything besides the party area and the water park, which I didn't care for. I probably could have moved rooms after the first day, but I wasn't that worried about it. The staff is always friendly, but I do have my favorites (Edwin, Hanzel, Tollie, Christian, Miguel, Hilario, and David). The grounds staff is always working on something to keep up with maintenance on the buildings and grounds. I don't participate in many activities at the resort, but there seems to be something for everyone going on all of the time. There are many different great food and drink options. I would definitely go back again!

Dec 18, 2025Great staff, poor alcohol
Facility was clean. Staff was awesome. Food was meh. Ok, but not great. The alcohol was so watered down it was impossible to tell you weren't drinking virgin drinks. Won't do this again.

Dec 18, 2025Large resort with lots of options
We stayed Dec 6-13, 2025. Compared to the Riu Palace we stayed at last year, the food and service here wasn't as good. The mattress in the room was pretty bad in my opinion, I woke up 'stuck'. I'm in my mid 30s for reference lol. The Riu Party (we went to all 4) were a bit disappointing, way too much techno... we expected and hoped for more Spanish music since we went to Mexico. Pacha disco was kind of the same although we only went 3 times. We found that service was readily available and they were quick to act on it too. For example we used the app to ask for a minibar refill and it was done in a few hours. The drinks at the bars were pretty watered down but I think that's everywhere as people drink all day. The property is very large, there's plenty of natural exercise which I loved. There's several places to eat dinner and 2 buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The area is absolutely AMAZING 😍! We ubered to the Marina and did a sailing trip to see the rock formations...wow!! Highly recommend. We also went into town a few times and felt completely safe.
