This hotel has nothing to do. The only thing is a pool: NO activities, NO fun, NO beach. Traveling from the USA to be in a pool is not fun at all. The hotel says "ADULT ONLY" and is full of stairs, which are not safe or comfortable for adults. There is no cleaning protocol, in the buffet room, my husband (80-year-old) slipped on a wet floor with no sign. The worst thing is with a plate full of food in your hand. In short, I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT

I did not like the steak house,Your fillet mignon was dry along with your Lobster Tail. The Shrimp cocktail was good,along with your fresh Bread. I did not like your Mexican Restaurant,the fish tacos were Bad,too fishy Your Chicken Enchiladas were good. I also like the tortilla soup and your red ceviche, Your Breakfast Buffet was the best,lunch options were okay. I did enjoy your Asian Restaurant,enjoyed the variety,Also the spice and sauce were right on

I did a solo vacation to Cabo, staying at Riu Baja. Overall, I felt safe, there were a ton of dining options for every taste, and it was very clean. I don’t know that the staff was overly friendly at the front desk and the dining area, but they were pleasant. Loved the spa.

Loved our stay at the Riu! Several cuisine options with great food and drinks. Very clean hotel, recently remodeled with tons of upgrades. Spa was excellent. Pool area was fun and lively and lots to do throughout the week for all; traveled with our kids aged 18 & 21 and my parents in their 70’s and we all had a blast. Something for everyone there. Would go back!

This property is perfect for someone who wants the all inclusive experience because everything you need is truly on the property. There was a wide variety of food and the daily activities made it feel like every day was unique. The staff were really accommodating, and even if there was a language barrier, we were able to understand each other in time.

The ONLY thing that was ok was the entertainment. The food options were terrible and the buffet felt like a college cafeteria and zero ambience. The pool umbrellas were ripped and sun damaged. We did pay for the Elite club so we were able to utilize the Cabana's and they were nice. The server's at the Cabana area Johnathan and Mario were excellent.Our room was fine but for being an Elite room the paint was chipped in some places. The water in the room was NOT drinking water so we had to use bottled water to brush our teeth. Really the only reason someone would want to stay here is to party.
