“I just came back from a week at Riu Santa Fe and wish I had booked 2 weeks. The food is great, staff are attentive and polite, and the location can not be beat. I also give this hotel 5 stars because I suffer from asthma triggered by scents and chemicals and did not have 1 attack the whole time I was there. The resort is very clean. It is spread out quite a bit so expect a 10 minute walk to get to different areas but I actually enjoy the excercise especially after enjoying unlimited food and drinks.Thank you Riu Santa Fe for giving me a fun, enjoyable and restful holiday.” – Sarah H. 3/20
“The staff of this place are so attentive and friendly we had an awesome experience staying with Riu. The entertainment team is also phenomenal and seems like they work endless hours. They were always by the pool and starting off fun games with the guests in the morning and then in the main plaza doing different activities at night. It was truly awesome and interactive on all fronts it felt like you were on a cruise. Definitely worth the price and loved all features of the all inclusive package!” – Sarah V. 2/20
“Had a great vacation here. Nice resort, with lots to do. We went during spring break so there was lots of college students. It was a little crazy but the resort is so big that you can avoid them and have a quiet pool to stay at. The pool parties are so much fun. Lots of adults attend them and have just as much fun as the college students do. Food was good and fresh and staff are great. This was my first time here and I will be returning again in the future.” – Sean L. 3/19
“Food wasn’t bad, pools were fantastic, and the drinks kept coming. Staff was super friendly. Great hotel and value for what you pay.” – Phuoc T. 7/17
“After reading mixed reviews, I was sceptical about the Santa Fe. Upon arrival and throughout the stay, I was pleasantly surprised. We stayed in building 7 with an ocean view room. I highly recommend this! Good food, good drinks, great staff. I would certainly come back.” – Josh G. 6/17
“This hotel is amazing, friendly staff, good food, great rooms, beach and pools are amazing, the view from our hotel room was incredible! Entertainment is really fun. Definitely would go back!” – Alina R. 4/17
