This was my first solo trip for my birthday. I felt safe, I was comfortable, and worth every $$$. I can’t wait to go back, wishing I stayed a little longer. It’s adults only but, it isn’t stiff and not too turnt up. There’s a good mix of people. You have access to the Santa Fe when you do want to turn up! 10/10 recommend

The food is generally excellent. I found the food at the carving station in the buffet disappointing (the meat was generally overcooked), but overall the buffet is great, with a huge variety and it changes every day. The room cleaning was great and the mini bar was kept well stocked. Service was great and the staff are all friendly and helpful. We’ve been here multiple times and will be back.

I stayed at Riu Baja California. There was an incident in the room next to mine. A person vomited in the shower. Fell asleep and water come from their room into mine and flooded my room. I complained to staff members and asked them to perform a deep cleaning not knowing what possible illness the drunk person(next room) had. I was told there was not enough personnel at 3:30 am when it occured. A few of our clothing got wet and if wasn't for my brother waking up at 3:30 am to use the restroom who knows if our entire room would have flood. At the end, we didn't even received an apology for the incovenience. I asked for a possible discount but the manager said they couldn't do anything for us. Before I forget, I was supposed to have a sofa bed in my room but it was not an actual sofa bed. Instead, it was an actual couch. Their staff working at the restaurants and buffets were excellent, but I can't say the same about the manegerial staff. 1 out of 5 stars.

The hotel was Ok, the pool umbrellas need maintenance or replacement, many weren’t working properly. The personnel were mostly friendly and helpful, the food quality was excellent at the Steakhouse and at the Mexican restaurant, but the rest wasn’t so good. Also consider that the noise from the hallways can be clearly heard in the room, during the night we couldn’t have enough resting, we could hear the drunken people yelling and throwing up.

La propiedad brinda buen servicio, todo muy limpio y la comida excelente. La limpieza de la habitación estuvo excelente los tres primeros días, luego pasaron tres días sin limpiarla, ni botar la basura, ni cambiar las toallas y el servicio que abastecía la nevera teníamos que pedirle las botellas de agua ya que esa era la única bebida que utilizábamos durante la estancia y aún así demoraban en remplazarla. Sentí también la animación bastante floja, al igual que los show.

I really enjoyed my trip. We spent 3 nights. The room was clean loaded with beer, sodas and bottled water (that tasted good) floors were spotless. Food was good. The week before we ate at TAO in Vegas (one of my favs) so I wasn’t expecting much at the Asian restaurant in Mexico, but it was fabulous. My favorite restaurant there! Really enjoyable. My only hang up was the $750 room credit. I tried to use on a couples massage an it still woulda cost $600. I felt that was misleading. Aside from that it was a good stay! Make sure you attend the White party. They go all out we had a blast! I turned 55 there!

Overall people , food and facility were great . It’s suppose to be a fun place for adults but don’t dare take a small 6” speaker because you will get hounded by management. Nobody “guest” complaint but they “management” kept giving me a hard time over it , never was the volume over 1/4 loud and no disrespectful music was played, the poolside waiters were actually enjoying the music. Other family’s had music playing but they were never approached about their speakers that were louder than mine. The AC in our room would never get to its coldest setting . The refrigerator stoped working so we had to put in a call to get it serviced . Staff “waiters” are super friendly and will remember you after a couple of times . Facility is super clean and easy to get around . Food is really really good in all the establishments . Finally this place needs to allow “Uber” to come up to the front desk , your guest shouldn’t have to walk a quarter mile to the Main Street to catch an Uber . Get it together . I’d give this place one more chance in the future and see if at least the uber citation changes. Honest Review .

It wasn’t the worst resort ive stayed at but it wasn’t great either. AC in the room didn’t work so we spent the first night of our 4 day trip with maintenance in the room trying to fix it only for the resort to transfer us to a different room the next day. Second day of the trip we were without a room for most of the day. Balcony chairs were broken so couldn’t use those. Shower hose was leaking pretty badly. There were stains on some of the towels. Paid for the elite package which was supposed to come with a bottle of champagne in the room and premium liquor. We got neither. Last, the food was nearly inedible. Had to leave the resort to get decent food.

The adult ONLY all inclusive resort at Riu is always the move. This is my 3rd time at this resort and I've been pleased each time. The pool areas are a vibe, the breakfast food in the Promenade is second to none, the fact that we have access to all the sister resorts is an added bonus. The entertainment is on point as well. I will always praise this resort and any other Riu resort I plan to stay at in the future.

Very nice and clean. The food was great at the steakhouse and dinner at the buffet had some great options I actually did enjoy. The resort has plenty of pools (2 large and 2 smaller) so everyone isn’t packed together. I always love how RIU has different activities throughout the day. The pool games and adult pool parties are my favorite. Although there was only one pool with a swim up bar I appreciated that staff came to the poolside to take our orders and brought us our drinks and there were also multiple bar carts with staff around the pool. The only thing I didn’t like was the room was pretty warm and the A/C couldn’t seem to cool it down so that was the only downside when getting ready or going to bed but overnight it was comfortable. We went to the beach multiple times and even rode jet skis. Staff helped with any and every request. I would recommend!

The rooms were clean. The Hotel Staff, for the most part was great. The pools can get crowded especially by the swim up bar (Sunset Bar). My cellphone was stolen from my backpack while I was at the pool on my second day and was reported. My family members were unable to get in contact with me as I suffer from a medical condition and they became worried when I didn’t respond to their calls. They attempted to leave messages at the front desk with callback numbers. At no point were any messages relayed to me by hotel staff ( even after they explained my medical history). I learned of all this upon my return home.

We had a great ocean view room. 1 flight of stairs and we were right at the main theatre, drinks bar, coffee bar and elite lounge. The stairs down to the pool, restaurants and buffet were also located just a minute walk from our room. The service around the pools was great, there is always someone with a smile coming around for drink orders. Pepe’s food bar has some quick options if you aren’t ready to commit to the buffet. The entertainment had some great shows. The Michael Jackson performance was the best, he received a standing ovation during my stay. The elite club lounge always had great service and chilled tequila. Most higher end options were in stock and available. I was not a fan of all the food that was available, but everything that I wanted from the buffet was good quality. The restaurants were good with friendly service, steakhouse was my favorite. Many options for a main meal and there was good dessert.

I would stay here again.

The resort itself was really nice and the food and wait staff were incredible.

Our room unfortunately was not. We had some water leaking from the ceiling right above our sink area and it was check on by maintenance who turned off the lights to ensure not electrical damage occurred then afterwards never again, our hygiene products got wet and damaged, we had no light to get ready with. The staff at the front desk were not very helpful. Felt like a burden every time we mentioned it but then no one would come and check on the damage, fortunately we only had a couple days left on our stay. But this was definitely not a positive experience. Really disappointed in our stay and will probably never return to this property.

Very friendly and professional staff. The food was hit and miss in terms of the quality. Most of the outlets in our room did not work. When we called the front office staff, they immediately sent a maintenance person to our room who proceeded to take the outlets out and install them upside down. He left and they still did not work. The plugs have been worn out and were loose. They needed to be replaced. Our TV then stopped working. Again, the maintenance person came to our room. He installed the new TV the next day only to find out that it was a bad cable.
