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

7.0

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

6.0

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.

My stay at Riu Santa Fe was mixed. On one hand, I loved the location and the spacious room, but the constant party atmosphere made it hard to relax. The food was decent, but service issues and cleanliness concerns really stood out.

Rooms

5.0

My room was spacious and faced the Riu Palace, which was nice. However, being in a building near the party pool meant I dealt with constant noise from all directions, making it tough to nap.

Service

5.0

The service was hit or miss. I found the staff could be friendly, but they were often overwhelmed and the lack of timely assistance left much to be desired. Also, I encountered an issue with a waitress trying to charge for an all-inclusive meal.

Location

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

5.0

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.

My stay at Riu Santa Fe had its ups and downs. While I enjoyed the beautiful views from my room in Block 7 and appreciated the friendliness of the staff, I was disappointed by several aspects of the resort, particularly concerning dining options and cleanliness. Overall, I had a mix of experiences, leading me to feel hesitant about returning.

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.

The dining experience was quite limited. The buffet had repetitive options, and the food at the sports bar was particularly disappointing, with little variety and quality. I wished there were more food options throughout the day.
