Very Good

I’ve been back six times to the Santa Fe and it is always amazing and I will continue to come back. Only thing I could complain about was shower water temperature lukewarm, but not a big deal still tolerable and probably helps with the environment less energy and water consumption. Also one trip last year building seven top floor I had a reoccurring sewer smell from the bathroom. I was politely refused a room change request, but Hospitality cleaned the bathroom every day making it tolerable. The extra effort was much appreciated. Never had that smell problem any other time.
Room and property was beautiful. Was disappointed that the ocean was not accessible the entire trip. Also— would have liked to know an ocean view room would be rocked by party music! Enjoyed the food and staff a lot!
Fell in Love with Riu Santa Fe this hotel is beyond beautiful all the amenities pools, bars and its own nightclub water park you name it the buffets amazing food. Enamored to say the least already planning my next trip here

Room was clean but had mold all over the room. ( blinds, shower, bathroom). Fan didn’t work in bedroom. Was told our bags would get delivered to our room after checking in and never recieved bags had to go get them.
Resort was not advertised as only 3 restraints being sit down. Everything else is Buffett and more than 1 of the same thing. Food was very average. The sports bar is great 24/7 but the food in the sports bar is not even edible to eat.
Very very disappointed in this resort and will not return!

If you like working out this place is for you,no elevators so going up 4 floors with suitcases is no joke with a family 🤓
Quality of their food is not the same, didn’t enjoy any of their food this time. Pool bar was not as fun, bar tenders don’t seem to have experience, lucky to at least see

Muchas moscas en el área de comedor .no se puede meter uno al mar porque es mar abierto y al reservar no especifican este detalle tienes que tomar un taxi para ir a otra playa y caminar más de 30 minutos por la playa pero la playa está muy inclinada y te hundes demasiado los pies ..
