My stay at Riu Santa Fe was a mixed bag. The expansive layout of the resort was impressive, though it felt underwhelming in certain areas. The staff were friendly and accommodating, but the rooms and facilities certainly need some updates. While the location is wonderful, with plenty of pools and dining options available, the food quality left something to be desired.
Rooms
6.0
The room I stayed in had some issues, including a malfunctioning AC unit upon arrival, which was fixed quickly, but it wasn't what I'd expect from a resort at this level. The overall condition felt tired, with visible wear and tear that detracted from the experience.
Service
7.0
Most of the staff I encountered were friendly and eager to help, which made a positive difference in my stay. However, I noticed inconsistency in service speeds at different bars, especially when the Tequila bar was unexpectedly closed during my visit.
Location

The resort's location is fantastic, being close to beaches and engaging activities. However, the constant presence of salespeople on the beach was a hassle, making it hard to relax.
Dining

Unfortunately, the food experience was hit-or-miss. While I really enjoyed the breakfasts and the steakhouse, many other meals were mediocre and lacked flavor. definitely not the five-star experience I expected.
Facilities
6.0
The facilities were expansive, with numerous pools and fun water slides, but many areas showed signs of neglect, and I noted missing tiles in the pools which could use some attention.

One of the highlights was the location. It was close to downtown, the beach, and there were plenty of dining options available. Just be aware that the area is crowded and noisy, especially during the infamous pool parties.

While I enjoyed the variety of food options and friendly servers, the wait times after dinner were frustrating, especially when it came to popular spots. The food itself was alright, just not really good.
Facilities

The resort had some decent amenities like a gym and shops, but I was disappointed to find there was no room service or coffee in the room. The pool water was colder than expected too.

The resort is huge and offers beautiful views, but the walking involved could be quite tiring, especially since several buildings lack elevators. I enjoyed some of the nearby areas for additional outings.
